I think Square-Enix has lost it.

Square Enix kind of lost popularity in my eyes as a developer as soon as they announced FFVII Advent Children and Dirge of Ceberus. I saw the complete nightmare scenario that from each FF game we'll get to see prequels / sequels and indeed, the nightmare came true. As I like to buy Japanese versions of games I despite the fact that from each FF / KH game since the PS2 needed to have an International version with English voices. Not because it was necessarely needed to complete a cycle but more like filling their pockets. Worst of all they've decided to remake the entire Square and Enix history like 2 or 3 times, which makes the new games jump on the side-line for a long while. Plus the quality is really starting to drop in their games. FFXIII will be without a doubt a 90 plus rated game, but their other releases really show the lack of quality which gamers were used to from them in the past.

Ever since the coorperation between these two, the entire company has changed into a too commercial behaving company full of arrogance and thinking about ways how to produce money the fastest way...

My love of Squaresoft plummeted when I finished FFVII. I have never been more disappointed in a game than FFVII. I was less disappointed when I found out Santa Claus wasn't real. Then I played FFVIII and I never looked at Square the same way. FFIX and FFX gave me a hope that they were back but FFX-2 was the last nail in my Square fanboy coffin.

Holy Crap someone who agrees with me that they pinnacled on FF VI and Chronotrigger. FF VII was a disappointement for me after playing Chronotrigger and FF VI had to take a few years and another try to appreciate it it isn't that bad but VIII yuck that was like a complete meltdown I kept giving it a chance and I even gaveit anotehr chance later on but the game and story were so dull I gave up after te space station on each attempt I lost interest. Now IX gave em a glimmer of the older FFs it was all that new or fresh but IMO it is how VII should of been at the very least...However after that I gave up on the FF franchise and was afraid to touch X or XII(aka Final Fantasy: The Phantom Menace) because well I didn't want to ruin the series and XIII looks even worse but maybe it will be good and if it is I will be first in line.

Between the Movies(FF:The Spirit Within and FF VII) the spin offs (Dirge of Cerebus) and other things that SE has done I have been incredibly let down by the company that gave me Secret of Mana, FF 1-3 (american), and Chronotrigger. they really aren't that bad but they are just a shade of what they used to be but you got admit they make up for it in terms of CGI and look.

A crapload of people feel that way. The SNES is still the best RPG console because of those two games and other Square Classics, and Enix Classics and a few other game company classics that were mostly bought by square. (Like Quest). Square-Enix is a combination of my 3 favorite RPG makers... yet, sucks so hard.

Perfect oppurtunity for Nintendo to buy them out and take over their IP's

I miss Chrono Trigger for one , and Chrono Cross wasn't too shabby

Nintendo can save the world, yes...

They can also take over Game Arts as well, that would be great, Lunar needs some more "good" releases.

If nintendo bought SE and cancelled FF13 for PS3 the sony fanboys would finally have to admit defeat.

or if nintendo bought take 2 and cancelled GTA4 for 360/ps3 then both micro and sony fans would finally have to admit defeat
