    That is very true. But Deus Ex is coming out soon and that should make them profitable for the next million years.

    That depends on how much the game is going to appeal to either the fans of the first game (who aren't going to like console-style retardgameplay) or the xbox crowd who loves their run off the mill shooters and context sensitive buttons and certainly won't enjoy a game in the old style. I doubt it's gonna sell more than FF13 anyway.

    Yeah, but only once. Look where the merger with Enix took us, we now have X-2, XI, XII, and XI-2- I mean XIV (and for some people XIII), not to mention all the side games that have come out. They are progressively getting tier! I blame Enix.

    Yet DQVIII was my favorite in the series, and the DS DQ games are pretty good too...

    Incidentally, I have heard fans of Enix games say that Enix games feel differently since the merger with Squaresoft, too. I wonder if it is mere nostalgia or a trend indicative of video game development in the East?
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Square & Enix made Chrono Trigger, which is awesome.

    They did Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile and I think Grandia Xtreme. I'm sure there's a lot more but those were the only games I was ever interested in.

    Robotrek and Illusion of Gaia! They should make a sequel to the latter.

    Enix does more publishing than actual developing. Tri-Ace makes Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. Quintet made Illusion of Gaia (as well as its predecessor, Soul Blazer, and sequel, Terranigma). Even the Dragon Quest games are technically put together by outfits like Chunsoft, ArtePiazza, and Level-5.

    They totally made Lolita Syndrome, though.

    Nah, Any company that can survive beheading Sakaguchi, Uematsu, Kato, Matsuno and takahashi clearly has had Re-raise cast on them since 2003.

    Incidentally, I have heard fans of Enix games say that Enix games feel differently since the merger with Squaresoft, too. I wonder if it is mere nostalgia or a trend indicative of video game development in the East?
    which game are you talking about ?

    Enix hires developers for Dragon Quest, which they over see, and only publishes IPs for independent development studios like tri-Ace, Quintet and Chunsoft. In SQEX age, "Square side" and "Enix side" are nonsense labels. Enix never even had any developers.

    Robotrek and Illusion of Gaia! They should make a sequel to the latter.
    Too bad Quintet is dead and we'll never see another Illusion of Gaia game or Terranigma.
