>Final Fantasy IV (1991)

>Final Fantasy VII (1997)
>Final Fantasy Tactics (1997)
>Final Fantasy VIII (1999)

How could anyone ever even hope to top this run?

Not to mention all the other incredible games Squaresoft released in between.

Now it takes them 4 years to make one third of one Final Fantasy game, and it ends up being Ubisoft tower actionslop.
>>
thinking that they had 2 years max dev time is insane
>>
>>720853225
Only because they're wasting time shitting out yearly Dragon Quest remakes
>>
>>720853225
Squaresoft =/= Square though.
>>
>>720852958
>VIII the only good game

And then Spirits Within happened.
Why sakagichi why.

Game flopped at 7.

>Squaresoft equals divided by equals Square though.
What did she mean by this?
>>
>>720853570
She (I) meant that it's just simple arithmetic.
>>
>>720853307
2 years to output 40 hours top hits with zero, absolutely zero bugs because they cannot patch it.
>>
>>720853631
Still don't understand what equals divided by equals means.

Why don't you take a seat? I see you also have a Nintendo Switch here.

It's like one equal with a strike in the middle, meaning "not". The actual representation of "not equal" is != but no one but programmers know this.
>>
>>720853792
It was X that perfected the turn based battle system.
>>
>>720852958
You can't. Squaresoft was PEAK. Their CGI at that time better than Hollywood too. It is sad to experience how far they have fallen since.
>>
>>720854208
Windows + period, and you can type ≠, but everyone on 4chan should be able to read !=.
>>
>>720855714
they still produce some kino but the leadership is beyond retarded

like how do you seriously look at something like sleeping dogs as a failure?
>>
>>720852958
XI was a god tier game when it came out too. It created so many hikkineets.
>>
>>720855926
EQOA was a much better game, but SOE refused to support the HDD and was pretty clearly not going to do another expansion past Frontiers.
>>
>>720853307
>>720853686
Did they even have two years?

>Chrono Trigger (1995)
>Romancing SaGa 3 (1995)
>Einhänder (1997)
>Xenogears (1998)
>Parasite Eve (1998)
>Brave Fencer Musashi (1998)
>Legend of Mana (1999)
>Chrono Cross (1999)
>Vagrant Story (2000)

And many many more.
>>
>>720852958
>doesn't list Final Fantasy III
Also, even FF fans will complain about half those games. And in my opinion, Dragon Quest and Suikoden did better.
>>

>2 years to output 40 hours top hits with zero, absolutely zero bugs
>zero bugs
Uh...
>>
>>720856867
Zoomers like to lie about experiencing the old days.
>>
>>720856867
there are glitches, but those aren't game breaking
>>
>>720857813
Glitches are still bugs. And some of them are game breaking. Glitch players and speed runners intentionally use them.
>>
>>720855926
all mmos are shit tier by definiton

There used to be a king who sat on his throne. Then WoW came along and casualized the genre.
>>
>>720860272
EQ, SWG, RO and so on weren't good either. Compared to MMOs today, they're better. And they had actual exploration/freedom. But were bad in other ways.
>>
>>720861706
All 3 EQ games rape everything else.

I detest modern Square, it's so faggy.
>>
>>720865054
i played the gba version.
>>
>>720852958
Only half of those games are good though
>>
>>720852958
I've played 6,8,9 and 10 and those were amazing experiences you just don't get anymore with modern games minus Expedition 33.
I still need to play 4,5 and 7 but I'm going to skip Tactics because the Remaster is being made by FF14 developers who also made FF16, both ass games.
I do wonder if Sandfall is going to try to be the next SquareSoft, they've had success with Exp33, maybe next year or the year after release a new game?
>>
>>720865739
Depending on what you're looking for, it's definitely done by modern games. And there were games around the same time as those that were even better than FF.
>>
>>720865739
>I'm going to not play old game because new version of it might be bad
Explain this thought process because you sound retard.
>>
>>720853313
You say that as if other studios don't exist in house.

Square at this time was also putting out incredible side games like Parasite Eve, Chrono Cross, Xenogears etc
