Wha?! Noooo. If anything, they've moved on too quickly and left behind the greatness of that era.
I should put it another way. They're still using the same old idea that having the best graphics is their USP, which is why it takes forever for games to be released and why it makes losses on other titles like Hitman, Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs despite each one selling millions. Gamers have never given a trout about graphics. Note that the PS1, PS2 and Wii all won their generations. Note the success of Minecraft. It's ridiculous and Square needs to wake up.

True that a lot of their modernisation is the wrong kind - smurfing mobile games, microtransactions and whatnot. When I say modernise I don't mean their apparent goal to have their own Candy Crush. I meant for them to look at the likes of Minecraft, Dark Souls 1, it's own bloody Bravely Default and the success they've all had and why. I mean for it to have a look at what the likes of Telltale and Obsidian are up to. Just to stop pumping time and money into huge titles and then thinking mobile is a good way to supplement that.
