Why was it so rushed?
Probably upper management meddling as they usually do. Alot of good games could be much better if corporate weren't gave them more time and money but they are stingy so you get unfinished games like xenogears and ff12.
>>741956436PS1 was in its dying days. All attention was on the upcoming PS2. They just shat it out to get it off the books.
>>741956436Do you have any idea what was going on at Squaresoft at that time? And why they don't exist anymore as an independent entity?
i wish spirits within didnt happen so that enix wouldnt have bought and ruined squaresoft
>>741956436Still the best in the series.
>best head in FF>>741957703Something great obviously as they made 3 of their best games in only 4 years
>>741958456>e-enix ruined le heckin wholesome squaresoft!11>totally not square shooting their whole foot off by releasing the mother of all duds spirits within and then pinning the blame on one of their best creatives and exiling him from the company and then spent the next decade death spiraling and releasing abhorrent dogshit
>>741956436ps2 was coming out
is there a game Square didn't rush?
>>741958815You ever think about how Quina was the only dedicated Blue Mage on the PSX and the only Nomura game where Blue Magic functions normally instead of being a fucking limit break and useless as a result is FF7's Enemy Skill materia
>>741958456The merger was planned a year before SW came out, the merger would've happened earlier if that movie didn't exist.Also it's funny you think Enix was a winner in the end when their IPs and devteams have been in an worse state than Square's over the last 15 years.
>>741956436It was being made at the same time as FFX. And it released months after the ps2 launch. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the games most people at the time played backwards compatible on ps2.
>>741959324>and the only Nomura gameI assume you meant to say modern game. No one from the usual crew was involved except Sakaguchi and Ito.
>>741959324Quistis exists
>>741959828And Uematsu of course.
>>741958815Quina carried me through the final boss, my party was>zidane>freya>vivi>quina
