I don't see what the deal is. Square-Enix has been good to me! (56k! Nooo!)

Listen, I understand that SE has seen a decline in quality over the many years that they have been developing games. Recently there have been a lot of cash in games and nasty rush projects (eew, Infinite Undiscovory). The company is still making high quality games even though they make some stupid ones, too. But come on, how can you deny these titles?

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII:

An interesting take on level progression, an emotional story line and a the Materia Fusion mechanic make Crisis Core one of the PSPs best.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy:

This is a massive handheld game (lolz teh oxymoron!!1) that has more content then most console games this generation. I have a solid 37 hours in it and I don't have plans on stopping any time soon.

Final Fantasy IV:

A lot of people complain that SE relies too heavily on remakes. Still, it's hard to deny a complete revamping of FFIV with new areas, voice acting, cutscenes and complete 3D modeling.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift: The sequel to the Game Boy Advance game is jam-packed with content, looks better a more vibrant and has more of the strategic gameplay that makes the gameplay so rewarding.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions: A perfect example of how a ****c can still shine. New cutscenes, a mature and expanded story made this even better then the original.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days: Reviews are saying that 358/2 Days is another content packed adventure with a good story to tell. Monday should be awesome.

The Last Remnant: This was a problematic game with a lot of good ideas. There was a ton of stuff to see and do, just on the first disk alone, the story was interesting enough and the battle system was a neat real time/turn based hybrid.

I've been happy with Square-ENix.

They just need to get Dragon Quest VI out already. Still not even a trailer for it.

I was hoping to have it to help hold me off for Dragon Quest IX, but it looks like we be getting Dragon Quest IX before VI.

1 console game...and its not even on the ps3..campzor

All I can say is meh. FFT is awesome granted but more FF7 (even if its great) and FF fighting along with Last Remnant which was alright is hardly SE being good. Where the hell is my Vagrant Story, Xenongears, Parasite Eve, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, level games?

The only new game I really enjoyed so far from Square is The World Ends With You. I also loved Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest V but theyre all ports/remakes so I don't think they count.

Crisis Core was okay, mainly because Zack was awesome, but the gameplay and story weren't anything to write home about.

War of the Lions would be one of the only reasons I might get a PSP. Is it that different from the original besides a couple of new classes?MikeT072

I'm a big fan of the wole soundtrack honestly. Its really unique.

People exagerate. SE are still pretty decent, just not quite as good as they used to be. Lets be honest though, when they were releasing as many classics as they were in such a short period of timethey were eventually going to run out of steam a bit. The same with Ubisoft. People don't understand that golden eras only happen once. That's why we call it a golden era. If they came back better than ever we would call it the platinum era, and that NEVER happens.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: A highly repetative easy game that requires no skill whatsoever, all you need is Cure 1 materia and the X button to complete the game making the Materia Fusion somewhat useless the entire game. A storyline that is just plain random an abit stupid with the Angeal monsters and the Genesis clones, Angeal betrayal, Angeal brief return. It all had no direction whatsoever. This game had nothing on the greatness that is FF7 for the PS1.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy: Decent at best. In the end though it's just one really shallow fighter thats presented well, even more so that Smash Brothers with a really crappy storyline that makes no sense.

Final Fantasy IV: Yes a good game but the fact is Squaresoft made this game at heart, Square-Enix just made a better clone.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift: Trash, FF Tactics for the PS1 laughs in it's face.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions: Yes this game is a masterpiece. SquareEnix didn't make this though. Squaresoft did.

The Last Remnant: Incredibly random combat system, I really couldn't get into this game whatsoever. Not to mention the framerate was utter crap, the characters screamed genericness and so did the story. Gaybolg lol.

Call me blasphemous, but Final Fantasy XII was a good JRPG. It has problems, but it was a good JRPG.

Final Fantasy IV was the only JRPG i could actually get into and enjoy.

Seems like a decent list though, can't see too interested in SE's work as a whole though.

I dunno why they don't slap;

FF:Tactics PS1 onto PSP/DS

Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross onto PSP/DS

So people don't have to play themsolelyon emulators on their pc's anymore.

Sequels to Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve also along with slapping the originals on PSP maybe would be cool.

You already know my thoughts on S-Es recent games.

CC was bad, Dissidia was underwhelming, so was 358, FFT: WoTL was fantastic, Tactics A2 was ok yada yada yada.

Their not too shabby.

They've been decent on handhelds (nothing special, though), but pretty horrid on home consoles.
