A lot of Enix games had that air about them, but I guess you've played them all already, judging by your pic.
Play the SaGa games. I know they're hard to get into, but each one is a world to explore, especially Frontier (good entry point), Frontier 2 (you explore ruins, although its chapter-based gameplay is not for everyone), the first SaGa on the Gameboy and Romancing SaGa 2 (build your empire while defeating corrupted heroes)

So, back in the days of the SNES which company do you think was better? Squaresoft or Enix?

Fuck SquareSoft, Enix was so much better without them.

"i didn't know they made pcs... fuck"

Why does Enix have such a widespread praise on the Internet? Yeah, they published usually great video games, but like LJN they didn't develop any of them.

Are there any other publishers that have gotten good or bad reputation for games they didn't develop than Enix and LJN?

I miss old Enix so much

This, and I miss Enix more than Squaresoft.

Something retards like AVGN and people taking everything he says as truth will never understand?

Anyway have these guys actually developed anything themselves or is their fame also result of them publishing games developed by others?

I just found out TODAY that I have been pronouncing this wrong.

Apparently it's enn-ix, not ee-nix.

I've been saying it like that since the 80s.

>we never really appreciated RPGs until FF7 and by then Enix stopped caring about the West.
Enix did care, a lot. When the first Dragon Warrior on the NES, published by Nintendo themselves, didn't do as well as hoped, Enix published DW2, 3, and 4 by themselves. They also brought over a few SNES games like Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaea, Terranigma (Europe only), Robotrek, and Ogre Battle. They eventually closed down in the West because they simply couldn't make enough money to justify bringing the games over. After FF7 opened up the West for JRPG's, they actually reopened Enix of America for a while there and released Star Ocean: The Second Story, Torneko: The Last Hope, Valkyrie Profile, and Dragon Warrior 7 on the PSX, and DW Monsters 1 and 2 and the DW1+2 and 3 remakes on the GBC.

Enix tried harder then any other video game company to try and break into the West, even with all the difficulties they ran into. Their games just aren't viable enough in Western markets.
