Anyone remember awesome games like Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story? They sold a ton and were quality on the mainline console of the time. Those games just don't exist anymore as Square and Enix put out more 2nd rate crap like bad spin offs and shoddy rehashes. They put out a lot of quantity but quality has been sorely lacking. I used to love at least 2 or 3 square games a year. Now I'm really hard pressed to find more then one Square Enix game a year I can even stand.
I have to say they were not at all equal, I can think of dozens of great square games, there's only a small handful of Enix games I remember fondly. The best Enix game I can think of (Star Ocean 3) is behind at least 20 Square games I can think of listed below in no particular order
Parasite Eve 1,2
Final Fantasy 1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12:
Front Mission 3:
Secret of Mana/evermore:
Vagrant Story:
Xenogears:
Xenogears (so awesome it deserves 2 mentions, miles above Xenosaga):
Chrono Trigger/Cross:
Saga Frontier 2:
Kingdom Hearts 1, 2:
Super Mario RPG)
I knew it was a bad idea when they merged, I hate it when a not as good company merges with a great company and the result is closer to the crap partner. Enix was never much of a developer, they were more of a publisher of other peoples games (like Tri Ace who made the Star Ocean games).
