The Nintendo shift was so sudden and dramatic around 2006-2007. A year earlier and FFVII had even won its second best game ever title when CJayC did that top 10 list mini contest. Does anyone else remember that? I think it's hard to look past the massive gap in how well Square and Nintendo managed their IP/reputation from mid-00s onward. Nintendo was pulling people to tears with amazing Twilight Princess reveal trailers and Smash Brawl hype was insane. The DS was a gigantic hit and began making Pokemon cool again. Square was putting games through development hell and they weren't particularly great when they finally arrived. Only KH2 was a real success post-03 (and it retains real strength even now). People wanted to like Square - remember how Zack Fair jumped up in strength with Crisis Core - but eventually they ran out of patience. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information <cite>Kotetsu534 posted [p:914235264] in transience...
