Anyone else agree?  Personally I think their games have gone down hill since this merger.

i actually do agree.  Square was big with me during the SNES and PS1 days.  now they don't seem to release games like Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve which really helped them broaden their game selection at the time.  now they seem very predictable with the games they make.

Everything they make now looks exactly the same and its missing that overall feeling that their earlier rpgs had.  I presonally have not liked a single game they have made since that merger.

Well I don't agree that their games since them have been bad. It's just that their focus has not shifted into different directions, and that their games have not lived up to the legacy left by their previous games. So if the old ones were say an A, the new ones are averaging a B+. So I personally feel that it's not that their games have been particularly bad, just not as good. That being said, with the merger they got bigger, and with bigger companies comes more chances of bad games. And I won't say that Square has made good games every time, because they haven't; Dirge of Cerberus is a clear example. But I still think that Square-Enix has the potential to live up to the legacy.

Ironically, I think in addition to Square being better than Square-Enix, Enix was better than Square-Enix.

Well, I didn't grow up with Squaresoft, and I don't necessarily like their games all that much either.

I'd have to say I like Square-Enix more. They develop Kingdom Hearts, which is pretty much my favorite series of all time, and they publish the Dragon Quest series and tri-Ace's games. That's all I really care about when it comes to SE.

Square and Enix as two separate entities: beats the hell outta Squeenix. Those two companies where so great, you'd think the merger would have created a god company but no...appart from Tri-Ace wich keeps surprising me, that is ;)

I am sure that Enix takes care of all the DQ games and have nothing to do with FF at all.

square went down hill when they joined with EA for the short time, they absorbed all their bad traits.
