Personally for me I feel that Square Enix own output has been very sub-par, I've not enjoy a game they've done themselves since The World Ends With You which was out about three years ago and nothing on their future line up looks that good either. Everything they've done have just been poor imitations of once great franchises. For me they're the cause to why the JRPG has become so stale.Let's cry a little bit more about Square Enix when they gave us games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Third Birthday, Kingdom Hearts (series), The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy (series, and despite the lack of really substantial games in it recently one cannot forget about the amazing DS remakes, Crisis Core, Dissidia and of course Four Heroes of Light), Dragon Quest (series)

Also Eidos would have put out Deus Ex with or without SE, SE had hardly anything to do with the development of this game.
I see:Update: Nintendo has responded. "In a recent interview, Mr. Miyamoto confirmed that a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii U system will be shown at this year's E3 Expo. This is based on the Mario experience that was demonstrated at last year's E3 Expo. We'll have more to announce about our plans for the E3 Expo at a later date."
Dream Drop Distance and possibly Kingdom harts 3 say 'Hi'.Personally for me I feel that Square Enix own output has been very sub-par, I've not enjoy a game they've done themselves since The World Ends With You which was out about three years ago and nothing on their future line up looks that good either.

I disagree, I think that Monolith is much better in that field. It's taught gamers and game developers in the West that RPGs don't have to be about whiny blonde teenagers who are super special and save the world, and it taught the East how interesting and compelling an RPG taking place in an Open-World and treating the player like they are mature and intelligent.Personally for me I feel that Square Enix own output has been very sub-par, I've not enjoy a game they've done themselves since The World Ends With You which was out about three years ago and nothing on their future line up looks that good either.

You may not like Square recent titles, but none can deny that Square is the model of RPG games.
It always release great titles, and is always developing a new AA title.
Square will release KHDD and DQM:TW3 for 3DS
Square made all the titles that foxi4 said
You may say you don't like Square new titles, but all had good quality.
I don't like much RPG games, but for sure Square is the best when comes to this

Actually, I never said which one I liked more, that had nothing to do with my post.I disagree, I think that Monolith is much better in that field.

You may prefer Monolith, nothing wrong about it, but not give discredit to Square Enix

That was a critical point of view; I said that Monolith is better at making revolutionary and innovative RPGs than the legendary Square. It's, of course, opinion, but I think it's accurate.Actually, I never said which one I liked more, that had nothing to do with my post.I disagree, I think that Monolith is much better in that field.

For me it looked pretty obvious that you prefer Monolith, if you think monolith is better in RPG field than Square Enix, it looks a lot like that, since SE genres are mostly RPGs.
But if that's not what you said, then tell me, what did you say?
Funny thing about criticisms, point of views, and opinions... generally, they can't be "accurate", because they're just that... opinions.That was a critical point of view; I said that Monolith is better at making revolutionary and innovative RPGs than the legendary Square.

That would be why I said "I think it's accurate." I tried to make the subjectivity of my post known.Funny thing about criticisms, point of views, and opinions... generally, they can't be "accurate", because they're just that... opinions.That was a critical point of view; I said that Monolith is better at making revolutionary and innovative RPGs than the legendary Square.

Honestly, the only Square RPG I've genuinely liked and have been able to stick with to the end was Chrono Trigger (easily my favorite RPG ever)... Seriously, I didn't even like Chrono Cross. Einhander was awesome, too (I know that wasn't an RPG, but still).Square Enix also hasn't made a "revolutionary" RPG in years.

I found it to be one of the greatest RPGs in existence for the above reasons, as well as because it blends various Western RPG inspired elements without going overboard. Not too mention the music is amazing (definitely some of the best there is), the dub is well done (and if one doesn't like it, they can just play the Japanese track), the character's are relate-able, the mechanics are just plain great, the environments are gorgeous- though it only gets better as one progresses. Depending on what you did during that hour...well, the story gets pretty mature pretty quick at one point. But still, it's not for everyone, as is any game, and I won't try to persuade you into liking the game, because that would be inconsiderate.Honestly, the only Square RPG I've genuinely liked and have been able to stick with to the end was Chrono Trigger (easily my favorite RPG ever)...

Chrono Cross was fucking awesome but it wasn't really revolutionary, just a really solid RPG.
Also I don't see why people are saying Xenoblade is "so revolutionary" and does all this open world stuff you wouldn't expect of JRPGs when we've had like... Demons Souls and Dark Souls around. Which are pretty open world. And blend both western and Japanese gameplay philosophy into a RPG.
Xenoblade is just... Xenoblade. I played an hour and was bored to tears. It didn't seem nearly as revolutionary, open, or good story wise as western RPGs I've played.
