It really depends on the reviewer. Some reviewers really aren't that good. I haven't played Romancing SaGa, nor have I played the remake, but it wouldn't surprise me if the sentiment they held for it was similar to the rest of the series, which is misguided.

Final Fantasy games are good in themselves, but they are nowhere near the only good games produced by Squaresoft, and definitely not Enix. Dragon Quest alone carries Enix in Japan. Although I really don't see why. Personally, although DW1-4 were really cool for their time, I think the Dragon Warrior series on the whole is bland, stale, repetitive, and needs to die out. Think of level grinding in an MMORPG. Now think of doing that in Dragon Warrior... except with nobody else around. Regardless, it is a titanic series along with Final Fantasy.

While Final Fantasy is definitely the most popular RPG franchise outside of Japan, that doesn't mean it is the only thing Square has to offer. They do more than just FFVI, FFVII and Chrono Trigger. Try looking past the extremely popular games from these companies and you'll uncover some real gems:

(I'm personally going to star the ones I think better than the majority of the Final Fantasy series)

SaGa 1*, 2, and Frontier 2
Actraiser 1* and 2
EVO: The Search for Eden*
The Soulblazer Trilogy*
The Secret of Evermore*
Secret and Legend of Mana
Xenogears*
Vagrant Story*
Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon 2

I like the respect that Final Fantasy gets as a series, but it is a little disheartening as well, because it discourages Square from going outside the series. We have Matsuno who did an incredible stand alone game outside the series, but now even he is being dragged into it. Square-Enix cannot operate solely on Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy.
