Konami and Capcom were much better too...now, I can understand fewer games as budgets increased, but why is it that the QUALITY also went down in a big way? |

I think the reason quality went down is that Sakaguchi left Squaresoft before the merger and took a lot of people with him. He was pretty much replaced during that time anyways as he didn't have a hand in developing any PS2 titles as far as I know. Kind of like Kojima with Lords of Shadow, I think he's credited for some titles he has nothing to do with.
