>94: FF VI>95: Chrono Trigger>96: SMRPG>97: FFVII, FFT>98: Xenogears, Parasite Eve>99: FFVIII, Chrono Cross>00: FFIX, Vagrant Story>01: FFX>02: Kingdom Hearts>merges with Enix, self destructs and never makes a good game again8 years in a row with at least one 10/10 masterpiece per year... has this run ever been topped? and what exactly destroyed them, was it really the merger? for me personally, they are completely responsible for making the ps1 a legendary console, without them itd be mid tier.
VIII/IX/X all in back to back years is actual insanity. now we wait 5-8 years just for the next kusoge laughing stock.
PS1 Square was gloriousAn average of 2 masterpiece each years+numerous very good titlesWe are still waiting for a great Final fantasy since FFX (24 years of mediocrity for Square...)
>>11634732PS1 would still be top tier, even in RPGs, but Square’s input really seals the deal to make it my favorite library.
Definitely dropped in delivery but>KH2 Final Mix>BBS>FFXI>FFXII>FFXIV>FFX V incomplete but good experience and one of the best dungeons ever>Dissidia>Dissidia 2>TWEWY>KH3 on Hard+>Bravely Default>FFTA>FFTA2>RebirthAll good to great games.Still lots of talent, but huge budgets for games, taking so much time to develop, and trying to cater to 'Western Standards' fucked them. Versus was the chance to get back in the game but they dropped the ball.
>>11635072>All good to great gamesMore like bad to average your list
>>11634732I'm not a JRPG guy, not going to pretend any of those games made an impression on me. That run doesn't exist to me.
>>11634732>8 years in a row with at least one 10/10 masterpiece per year... has this run ever been toppedCapcom was a complete monster in the 80s-90s.
>>116351821989-2006=Capcom golden ageFrom Final Fight to God hand
>>11635025Been waiting since IX personally
>>11634732Wasn't the Japanese version of X-2 Square's last game? What a banger to go out on...
>>11635072
also legend of mana in 1999
>>11634732all of these games fucking suckedwell i guess Parasite Eve was okay but the rest were slop tier
>>11635192>From garbage game to another garbage gameCrapCum golden age was 2001-2013from Onimusha to Dragon's Dogma
>>11634732So many kusoges in that list and not a single mention of SaGa Frontier or Racing Lagoon.
>>11635497>racing lagoonsome of the worst racing mechanics ever made
>>11635418>2001-2013[X] DOUBT
>>11635360I thought that was 2000? Also reminds me, I need to jump back into that. I was on a Mana series binge for quite a while (playing out of order) and got burnt out by the time I hit Legend.
>>11635182>>11635192>le street fighter hyper turbo bussy megamix first strike edition with a patch or dlc rereleased every year>200 megaman games that all play the same>zombie slop tank gunner>even more fighting games that all play exactly like street fighterholy shit I kneel
>>11634732>>99: FFVIII, Chrono CrossAka, the Year of Mid.
>>11635418Found the Intifag
>>11635740The best year of Square
>>11635707Yeah it's not a list of only JRPGs
>>11634732This is all clearly Nomuras fault
>>11635707Actually, Hyper Turbo Bussy Megamix is by SNK, not Capcom.It's a common misconception.
>>11635592idk I remember main screen said 1999, great game but a bit confusing with the events
>>11635575The hakone racing in it is kino tho.
>>11634732Kingdom Hearts was garbage, so was FFX.
