Modern devs can't compete.

>only 45% of games over a seven year are good
ya, it's really sad when most modern devs are sitting at 0% good games released in the same time frame. I'd go back to 45% chance for a good game in a heartbeat.

>>716317776 (OP)
And? Not even modern Square can compete. They haven't put out a good game since 1999

>>716317776 (OP)
Then they got obsessed with making MMOs and ruined their brand

Let’s not pretend Square treated Xenogears with the respect it deserved.

I kneel

Not a single one of these titles has good gameplay. Squaresoft is the original moviegame.

>>716318802
Modern development time has become insane, it's not uncommon for 6-10 year dev cycles for AAA and it ends up being mediocre trash

>>716319954
Sorry zoomer, musashi, FFT and FM3 have great gameplay.

>>716319954
You haven't even played all of those games, let alone read the list.

>>716317776 (OP)
It was a different time.

>>716320000
because all those extra years of development are just useless style over substance shit like useless ultra realistic cutscenes

>>716320213
If only the games had some style..

>>716320127
Well I'll give you that, I haven't played Brave Fencer or whatever the fuck God Bless The Ring is, but after a certain majority of blatant failures is it really that bad to assume? Fool me once and all that? or in this case a dozen.
Maybe those are genuinely good, great even. Maybe. So the company was a broken clock that promptly flung itself into the wall.
What a thrill.

>>716317776 (OP)
looking back it's insane how good we had it..every year absolute bangers were releasing left and right, new genre-defining vidya, new hardware
crazy fucking times

I pity the zoomers who have to settle with GAAS and AAA-slop on 5+ year schedules, and games going backwards in quality + performance

Damn, it keeps happening.

>>716318802
Not the same studios
It took 6 years for FFXV to Forspoken
and 9 years from FFXIV HW to FFXVI

>Parasite Eve

This is a good example here. Back then, just like with SMT, they used good book plots for new games. They need to do that again but modern novels are made for dogs

Where the fuck is Einhander you fucking niggerfaggot

Squaresoft really was amazing. The merger basically destroyed their legacy, I've only liked a few FF games since then and nothing else they've put out.

Agreed, modern Square can't compete.

>>716320000
>Modern development time has become insane
I'm so fucking sick of this terrible gaslighting.
No. It's not that "modern development time" has become insane. Devs just chose to make bigger and bigger and bigger projects. Because line must go up. Executives want their ridiculous bonuses that scale exponentially to short term revenue. And investors want clean and stark up and downs for the stock prices to more easily profit off of their shares.

But there is nothing that suggest that a modern game needs to be these bloated fucking messes with unnecessary details and 5-10 years dev times.

>>716320591
I stopped reading after that 6/10 you gave to FFVI lmao

Seethe and dilate with the truth

If Falcom fans disappeared tomorrow nobody would notice since no one buy their games.

>>716326483
Most of squares old devs jumped ship when the movie flopped, and they were forced to make nothing but final fantasy games. Hell it was the main reason why Tetsuya Takahashi left to create monolith soft, Nintendo is treating him better than square ever did.

>>716317776 (OP)
Every time some retard posts 5-10 games over the last decade to "prove" that games are "better than ever" remind them that every game in picrel released in one year.

>>716317776 (OP)
Shoulda died after 1998. I'd only miss LoM

>>716317776 (OP)
I really liked SaGa Frontier

>>716336205
You would notice Mahirotranny's absence and that would be a huge plus

>>716337587
I'll never forgive Square for this. Gears had sold enough to get a sequel, especially with the Greatest Hits reprint, and we'll never get it because of Sakaguchi's "naivety" and that shitty movie. The fact that Gears even exists is a damn miracle.

>>716320487
Brave Fencer is an underrated little game.
Ehrgeiz was an attempt to make a Final Fantasy fighting game from a team that had never made a fighting game before. It went about as well as you’d expect.

>>716324864
Dude stop avatarfagging I see you fucking everywhere shilling your dogshit.

>ctrl+f "Tobal"
>no results

Seriously?

Anyone in this thread rating Ehrgeiz anything higher than a 1/10 is a fucking retard. That is genuinely one of the worst fighting games ever made.

>>716318716
Let's not pretend it deserved any more respect than it got (soundtrack notwithstanding)

>>716340065
I'd rather play Ehrgeiz than the last 4 Mortal Kombat games

I'd rather play Ehrgeiz than play Marvel Infinite

I'd rather play Ehrgeiz than play CotW

It might not be competitively balanced or what the fuck ever that tryhard fightans attempt to be these days, but it was fun and that's all it needed to be.
>quest mode where you only play as Nathan Drake and we have Lara Croft at home
What the FUCK were they thinking

>>716340298
Mediocre bait. Sure Takahashi could’ve managed resources better but the fact that Disc 2 was rushed like that is still insanely disrespectful for a game like this. I know it was because of sales and deadlines, but that doesn’t change what I said

>>716318802
>spend seven years developing a game that will be forgotten in less than one
Even if it sells, how is that not absolutely demoralizing?

>>716317776 (OP)
Merging with Enix ruined them both

>>716340065
Most of those games are godawful and only Square brainlets would ever rate them above 5/10

>>716340393
At least FF7-10 still had depth despite the useless cutscenes
