1) Had there been no merger, I have a funny feeling there still would have been a FFX-2 and the many FFVII projects.

2) Why the hell is this in the FFVIII forum anyway?

3) Video games are a business. Say that outloud to yourself...very slowly. Do you think Halo 2 was released because everyone involved wanted to put it out for the sake of putting it out? Yes, video games are an art form, but there is also business to be done. Period.

4) It just caught on to you that Square-Enix is in it for the money? Never mind the other ten games that was released--NOW they are sell outs because they made a direct sequel and are developing a few side projects? Get over yourselves.

5) Despite your complaints, I do agree that Square-Enix isn't as good as they were back in the day. However, that has nothing to do with the Enix merger.
