When did the decline of Square begin
In the 00's, same as everybody else. Thankfully Parasite Eve 2 was exempt since it came out in December 16, 1999.

Square was always chasing trends, and then they stopped figuring out how to chase them.
After X. The last fun game and only good Squeenix game was FFTA. They became the Shin-Ra.
The movie changed everything They became much less experimentale and groundbreaking after it's failure and greenlight for the first time a sequel to a FF FF10 was their last great game
>>12572847Fabula Nova Crystallis when they began huffing their own farts.
>>12572854so FFII?
>>12572847when they merged with enix obviously. ffx and kingdom hearts were the last great things they made and coincidentally were the last games made before the merger.
>>12573148Kingdom hearts 1 is not great ,it's a pretty mid game carry by nostalgia
>>125728472000
>>12572847The end of the PS2 era basically. Final Fantasy 13 felt like the first legitimately bad game in the series even if 12 had some issues

After ff7. 8 and 9 never reached the same heights.10 was a glorified hallways simulator that got away with it because of the nice graphics.

>>12572903>>12572847they should have funded more SaGas
>>12572970>FF10-2 was their last great game
Final fantasy 12 was the peak
>>12573374How did you know
>>12572847Merging with Enis and changing its logo. You already knew this.
>>12572847FFIX was their last great, Nobuo Uematsu lost his passion after that, and they didn't survive the PS2 era.
