I'm still wondering if we're going to see FFXVI this generation.

Sad part about this is that S-E had a thing in their forums where they asked their fans what titles they wanted published and an incredibly large amount asked for FFXIII-Agito on Vita.

S-E obviously did not listen, which is not very surprising to be honest.



I will pirate it on my iPhone to show my disgust at them refusing to listen, even after pretending to care what we wanted.

Adding more to  your list.

Chocobo's Dungeon 2 - 1999
Chocobo Racing - 1999
Ehrgeiz - 1999
Chrono Cross - 2000
Front Mission 3 - 2000
Legend of Mana - 2000
Parasite Eve 2 - 2000
SaGa Frontier 2 - 2000
Threads of Fate - 2000

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.

Looking at both of these posts makes me sad.

I was always a gamer, but I became a BIG TIME gamer after playing FFIII (FF VI) on my PC with an emulator. After that I purchase FFVII, VIII, IX, Vagrant Story, SaGa Frontier,Parasite Eve, etc... I was a huge JRPG fanatic back then.

Then Square changed. PS2 was good. Not as stellar as the PS1, but it was indeed good.

Last gen they were just flat out terrible and seemed to not care at all what their fanbase wanted. Now even with Wada gone it continues.

Saddens me to say that I will not weep when that company goes the way of the DoDo.

The smartphone news had me a little nauseous.

SE really doesn't like to listen to their fans. It actually astounds me how they operate. They ask what we want, then they don't do it. 

Sucess on the Wii and Wii U, lets release a new one on PS4? I think i'm missing a logical step here. Through that line of thought XI should release on 3DS or Wii U.

Dragon Quest has always been on Japan's most popular system though.  Including remakes which were spread between the main releases Dragon Quest 1-6 was on Nintendo and SNES, Dragon Quest 7-8 were on the PS2, Dragon Quest 9 was on the DS, and Dragon Quest 10 on the Wii.  I think they're either going to stay on 3DS where all of the recent remakes are or move to the PS4.

Is the PS4 going to see a massive boom in sales which makes it competitive with the 3DS, or even the Vita?

Lmao FFXV. This is incredible.
