Square Enix upcoming games look like they came straight out from the 90s

? Have you played any of their output over the last few years? Have you played Triangle Strategy or Live a Live Demo or Octopath Traveller?
Clearly you haven't or you wouldn't be speaking this dumb shit.
Go home. Your drunk.

Just seeing this excites me every time.
I’m awaiting for a Parasite Eve Remake to dominate RE/survival horror RPG. Even dominate TLOU series tbh.

Best lineup they had in years/decades.

These are the people responsible for we having one game per generation from a publisher. Then they proceed to crying the output is low… what do they expect? Multi million budget games? GTFO.

You see the contradiction here right?
Live a Live is a faithful remake updating it to what many did love about Octopath. The HD2D graphics. I wouldn't have it any other way.
(Not to mention it brings a game over that never officially left japan)
If a big budget GRAPHIZ remake was given chances are it would even up like the FF7 remake and end up quite different.
So there's no winning with you. Damned if you do stay faithful, damned if you don't.

it's possible to do a big budget remake without making a bad game like FF7R. See THPS and Diablo 2.

90's Square is literally my wet dream.
Neither of those games are high budget remakes on F7R's level. They're about the same level of remade as Live a Live compared to the originals.

I’m glad it’s headed in this direction. I would much rather have unreleased re-releases of classic games, remasters, remakes, or a continuation in an ongoing franchise.
I get more excited seeing something I haven’t seen in 20 years versus some of the more anime inspired JRPGs. Sometimes Square would make something and it comes off as super unappealing to the classic Square fan. There’s the 3rd Birthday, those mobile FF games, FFXV, various Dungeon and Romancing Saga games, and misc FF/DQ entries that just feel obscure. They don’t have the same Super Famicom/SNES/PS1 look to them. I don’t exactly want to keep a lot of their titles on my shelf except maybe Nier.
I’d say it’s good that they’ve done this, but it kinda proves they don’t do too well when they forget about their past and why people like them.
It’s weird cause I don’t find myself liking the same things as some so called Square-Enix super fan, but I love classic Square games (Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Mana series, etc). I also felt like Dissidia was overkill. I didn’t need all those classic stories merged into one game. I use to buy all their games in the 90’s/00’s. Now I’m hand picking which games I buy from them and most of the time I pick the already established franchises.

We are on the cusp of a Square Renaissance.

Made by who? I doubt they would put their best artists, composers and writers on this.
It’s really unlikely to recapture the magic from back then.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Most of the titles I'll be buying from now till the end of the year are from SE, the only exceptions are:
- Klonoa
- Soul Hackers 2
- Trails from Zero
- No More Heroes III
- God of War: Ragnarok

S-E has always cranked out tons of remakes, remasters, and sequels. I feel like you could’ve made this thread almost any year since the early 2000s

God how is Tactics Orgre from 1995?! I remember when that first got released. I loved it. Couldn't stop playing it. In my eyes it's the best SJRPG ever made, surpassing even FF Tactics but only slightly.
That game will be my personal GOTY and if there's a LE version being done for it I'm so there.
If you're not japanese it's much more probable you played the playstation version in 1998. That's probably why.

It makes me feel very old but very happy SE are putting out these games again. Glad they are going back to their roots and catering to the audience they know have been there from the start.
I don't remember the platform I played TO on. I just remember playing the shit out of it and loving every second.

Not serious about what?
I'm just going to assume we're not joking here.
A 3rd Parasite Eve game exists and you nearly described the plot of it.
