Sqaresoft released all these games in just over 3 years.
>>737119250We really need to go back to AA games instead of AAA
>>737119250and only ONE of them was goodVagrant Story
They were definitely lacing their office water with meth.
>>737119250Multiple development teams
>>737119315no, AAAA. we can only go forward.
Indies release garbage like this all the time and none of you buy or post about it. Large corps don't need to go back to making shitty looking games, and shouldn't when you haven't proven it's what you actually want.
>>737119250And Falcom basically does the the same exact thing as this but somehow nobody cares. Hmm.. I call bullshit on >>737119315NO one actually cares enough to wanna go back.
>>737119315Wrong. We need to move onto AAAAAA games that cost $10 million dollars and 20 years development
>FF16 took 7 years
>>737119250And they all suck, crazy
>>737119462No different from currently Creative Studio I through V.
>>737119472Tell us 50 indies that have the same budget and know-how from Xenogears/FFVII~IX/Tactics/Parasite Eve/Chrono Cross/Front Mission 1~3
>>737119315Wouldn't work since current game developers are either hacks (Yoko Taro) or became hacks since. You need the same talent from before.
>>737119250It boggles the mind just how far we've fallen in a mere 25 years.
>>737119779>tell us 50 games that are dogshitSort by jrpgs with the lowest sales, there you go.
>>737119949(You)
>>737119250Games became interactive movies and Square was pushing it hard. When the console tries to go into saving mode because there was no input for a while you know they fucked up.
>>737119472Indies? You mean shovelware?Shovelware has always been pumped out in a month.
>>737119250>dat feel when Summer of Adventure of 2000People legitimately don't remember there was a period when Squaresoft could not miss.
>>737119315It's not about AA or AAAit's about retards chasing 4k+ graphics, realisim and making everything an action game
>>737119597I doubt you played them all.
>>737119593big problem with final fantasy is they basically take entire console generation to release now. kids go through childhood and get maybe two main entries. remember when 7, 8 and 9 came out year after year?
Thankfully modern Square is smart enough to know that the only way to sell games I to censor them.
>>737119250I wonder for how many people Erhgeiz was an introduction to dungeon crawling since that ended up being the real star of the game.
>>737120225Yea you have a ton of it right here>>737119250
>>737120378Remember when the last Dragon Quest came out? Square is making money with their phone apps and once in a while they release cinematic woke shit. Less Final Fantasy is better in this kind of society.
>>737119250Imagine if they didn't waste time and money on so much garbage and actually finished Xenogears.
>>737119250>back when game dev studios wanted money, they used to release absolute tons of GAMES>now when dev studios want money, they release 1 game for 10+ years and fill it to the brim with garbage, microtransactions, and other bullshit
>>737119250Oh wow only one good game on the list.Tactics, their last good FF game was Jack's game
>>737119250was it good business sense? were they desperate?
>>737119250As I've said elsewhere, publishing PS1 games were cheaper than alternatives and so companies (like Square) could invest a lot less in development and still put a game out for profit. This resulted in a lot of experimental games, which gave us a lot of good (if limited) stuff on the system. Just look at Chocobo Racing and Chocobo Dungeon. They were obviously makes for cheap and far smaller than what they were ripping off, but were pretty fun and I'm pretty sure could be picked up for $20 on launch.To be fair, Square does the same thing with Steam now. Stuff like Paranormasight, Various Daylife, Voice of Cards, Dungeon Encounters, and The Quiet Man were clearly made at a smaller budget and are selling for around $20 as a result, and since they don't need to buy a Blu-ray printing or a physical cartridge, then can put those games out for a lot less than the $60-$90 standard new release price.
>>737120327Any at all*
>>737119250This required talent, something someone like Toby Fox doesn't have.
