Your Opinions on Square.

[Ouch!]

It's come to the point where you love them or you hate them. I still love Square, and Square Enix to death. Why? As far as I've concerned, all of the games they've produced, that I've played mind you, were good. Sure, some were better than others, but in the end, none of them have sucked so horribly that it would bring me to hating the company.

All the Final Fantasy games have been fun to play. When I finally got my hands on FF Origins, Anthologies and Chronicles I was as giddy as a school girl. Though I haven't finished any of them, they've all been fun to play.

Most all of their Final Fantasy titles have developed a strong fan-base (except maybe II and IIIj) and the Chrono games are well liked, Tactics was amazing, and though I'm not overtly fond of it, FFTA has many fans as well. Vagrant Story is one of those love-it-hate-it titles, but I have no opinion as I haven't played it. From what I understand, Ergheiz was nothing special, but it's not really a big title. Xenogears has a decent fan-base as well.

Some people whine incessantly about FFX-2. It was great, but it was fun. I've played through twice, but that's all I've gotten out of it. Some people whine about FFXI: Online because they're terribly upset about an online game. So what? I played it for 10 months and then stopped- not because I didn't like it, but because I realized I didn't have the time to get anywhere in it.

Others complain about FFXII (which I think may restore Square Enix's glory) and Before Crisis, Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. Sucks to them I say, it's not even out yet. Though there are a lot of FFVII games coming out, they all look decent to me, and Advent Children is going to be amazing. We probably won't even get Before Crisis State side, so why bother with it? Dirge of Cerberus is shaping up to be a third person shooter, but I don't mind. Vincent was a kick-ass character, even if he had a minimal role.

All this comes down to my opinion: Square Enix isn't that god-awful. And though I don't like to hear everyone constantly whining about how bad something is, you have the right to. If you do whine, I think it should be done so with back-up as to why the game/company is so bad. This thread has done a good job so far, and I hope it stays that way.
