>>2761006The thing that always impresses me is how Square branched out, or rather, went back to its root and made or published games that aren't just turn based JRPGs while also further improving their biggest series.
FF got its biggest seller game in the franchise
FF Tactics which is basically Tactics Ogre 2.0
Racing Lagoon as a racing game with RPG elements and Chocobo Racing for kart games
Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story as a fusion of real time and turn based RPGs, both with mature MCs and rather dark storylines
Bushido Blade and Ehrgeiz as fighting games experiments
Chocobo Dungeon as Roguelike
SaGa Frontier returns to the GB roots and SaGa Frontier 2 which together with Legend of Mana is the best 2d looking game on the system
Threads of Fate
Xenogears
Front Mission 2 and the release of the old Front Mission with a new side of the story, Front Mission Alternative as a real time RTS and the rather lackluster but good looking FM3
Einhander for SHMUPS players
Internal Section, a tube SHMUP which predates REZ by a few years
Brave Fencer Musashi
And I like my SNES Square, but it just can't compare to PSX Square, and I even like their minor games like Alcahest or Treasure Hunter G.
