On the SNES they were legendary, and made some cracking RPGs (Chrono Trigger, Evermore, Mana, FF), and then the bust-up, giving the PSone a handful of FF gems to boast.
But now back on good terms with Ninty, can Square still pull it out of the bag. Crystal Chronicles was pretty good, but the repetative gameplay, poor battle system and annoying multiplayer setup left me slightly dissapointed.
FF 1-2 Dawn of Souls is schedlued for December, and there are rumours of a FF 7,8 and 9 package on the 'Cube, whilst Square have confirmed a handful of titles for the DS, including a Mana and Crystal Chronicles series.
But with games like Fable, Jade Empire and Paper Mario 2 coming out very soon, are Square still the kings of RPG and can they still produce the quality games they once did for the SNES and PSone?

I was disappointed with Mana on the GBA.
So far, I have only played one half decent game by Square-Enix. And that's Crystal Chronicles. I really hope Super Mario RPG gets a re-release at some point...

There are two packages:
FF 1-2 Dawn and Souls is certain for the GBA, and is set for Christmas.
The other is a 'Cube rumour of a package containg FF 7-9.
The 'Cube's RPG selection is shrivilling up I swear. Not many companies tend to make RPG titles.
I know EA are doing LOTR: The Third Age, and Paper Mario 2 will be great, but apart from that I don't know of any more certainties.
Oh how I crave for a Skies 2 :(

A new FF game?
On teh GC?
Is it turn based?
Or is it GBA game.
I'm feeling the RPG shortage.
