i never thought I'd find someone harder on Square than I am, and lo and behold for some odd twist I find myself appalled in their favor. How the hell did this happen?

Considering the last 4 real games made by them X-2 (sucked) 11 (wtf mate) 12 (sucked) and the up and coming 13, which seems to be overhyped and they sold out to 360, what are your opinions on Square Enix. (and yes despite what people say ten was made by Squaresoft)
So wait. All Square makes is Final Fantasy? Wow, all this other crap of theirs I have must never have happened. Mana games? What're those? Kingdom Hearts? Who plays that? Star Ocean? Obviously not a real game (though arguably it's not written by real people because
come on). Aside from that, X and 12 are by some miracle two of my top three for the franchise.
But besides those "original games" who here has seen the infinite remade old FF games (1-5 and soon to be 6, plus Tactics and Crisis Core)("FF:CC" isn't a remake but its a prelude to the already fine FF:7) Pretty much, Square Enix is riding the coat tails of Square and Squaresoft. That's only my opinion though
Edit: they've even made a cheap FF:T knock off which is called tactics advanced >.> and have even remade that =O
The FF7 spin-offs aren't remakes, though they supposedly aren't that
good, either, especially if you can't appreciate where they're coming from in terms of story. Very much made for the fans, which imo is a mistake in and of itself, but aside from the point. Tactics Advance and A2 are not only pretty damned different from the original Tactics, but from my experience hold a higher pace and generally just remain more engaging. The Judge system wasn't as intrusive as everyone whines about it being, and A2 completely lacked it, though it did bring in Vaan...
Oh, and what does CC have to do with 7? Like, at all? The games have no relation aside from their names bearing the FF moniker. Don't judge, even if they do have a very different focus from the core franchise.
and on a side note, i personally believe the FF7 series has been butcher beyond recognition, and shouldn't be "remade" anymore. PLEASE SQUARE STOP REDOING FINAL FANTASY 7 BADLY, if your gonna remake it, please just update graphics possibly add voice overs and change nothing else.
Yeah, Square, don't bother updating the translation like you've been doing for every other FF remake. Leave it completely terrible so the people who didn't play the original can be just as disappointed as I've been putting up with piss-poor writing ever since I got the thing over PSN.
FF7 isn't the worst game, but it's not the masterpiece people make it out to be. : | It needs more than a graphical overhaul. The NES FF's were made shinier, but every GBA remake got a better translation, and frankly i think that alone would aid FF7 immensely.
well, that and making it so I don't want everyone
except Sephiroth to die in a horrible ball of fire.
Please post your comments and thoughts por favor
How can I summarize this better than has already been stated...?

'Nuff said.
Despite this, i still voted that they're remake-happy bastards, seeing as that's the closest thing there to my actual opinions... >_> But still far from accurate.
