Every SquareSoft Game on the SNES - The Company's Golden Age!

Secret of Evermore is better then secret of Mana

Square at it’s Peak

where is Kingdom Hearts 🫵👁

Battle on the Big Bridge has been remade to death, not just FFXII, but FFXIII, FFXIV, FF Origins Stranger of Paradise, and some remixes made for FF Record Keeper... and maybe even more I might be missing.

You missed at least one, and even mentioned it ... FFMQ, also, would radical dreamers count?

hehe i played romancing saga

I kicked in the door on this video like "Let me call them out for not including Treasure of the Rudras" and I scrolled through the chapter list and to my shock you actually have it listed.
Well done.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"Every squaresoft game on the snes"
And yet radical dreamers and mystic quest are missing.

thank you.

Where is Mystic Quest?

Great video, got to give my input on Seiken Densetsu 3, particularly the remake. I absolutely LOVED the fan translation of the ROM, and played it almost a dozen times as a kid. Trials of Mana I think is a superior version for a few reasons. First, they adjust the pace of leveling, so you don't have your final class change for barely any amount of time. Second, there's a New Game+, along with high difficulty modes. Third, there's a decent modding scene.

The Sins of Mana mod for the SNES ROM is really, really good, and I highly recommend that as a play for those who liked the game(s) as well.

I had the secret of mana soundtrack before I had a cd player to play it on. I also still have the secret of mana shirt and secret of evermore shirt and hat from the old squaresoft mail order catalog. I own 5 signed hiro isono prints and live in a hilly forest, my own slice of the pure lands. safe to say this company has had a tremendous effect on my life. thank you, squaresoft.

I think Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is missing?

i love much of square's library on SNES, but i would definitely say ps1 era was their golden age. FF7 and 8 are their number 2 and 3 highest selling games, ff9 is 9th, tomb raider 1 and 2 are 14th and 15th. so that's 1/3 of their top 15 sellers. the only pre-ps1 top 15 seller is space invaders, 1978.

FFIV, FFVI and Chrono Trigger will always hold a special place in my heart. When the twins in FFIV turned themselves to stone, I was a VERY shocking kid.

Would LOVE a port of Front Mission: Gun Hazard (and Assault Suits Valken). It's an absolute shame when games like this get lost to history.

Breath of Fire is from Capcom, wasn't this video about Square Soft games? xD

Where is Final Fantasy Mystic Quest :(

This list is missing a couple games. No Mystic Quest stands out.

What about Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest?

US only got 3 Final Fantasy of the first 6, but Europe got none of the them. It is such a shame in many ways.
FF7 was our first FF and I wondered why I never heard of the first six games. (Same with Chrono Trigger)
JRPG are my favorite games and I am pretty sad that we did not get them in the glorious 90's

Out of your list we only got the not mentioned Mystic Quest, Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore.
Beside this we only got JRPG like Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma and Lufia II, which was Lufia 1 in Europe.

And I really dislike the strange renaming of games and also movies.
Illusion of Gaia was released as Illusion of Time in Europe and so on

Squaresoft golden age is SNES & PS1!

🔥🔥🔥

Chrono trigger is the one that finally got me into RPG games. If it wasn't for that one I would probably have never gotten on board for final fantasy.

everyone remembers when squaresoft merged with enix but no one talks about when Square merged with Sunsoft, also you are missing "the 7th saga" I loved that game

I distinctly remember renting LiveAeviL from Blockbuster and beating it over an icy weekend. This was either 96 or 97 and It was definitely in English.

Chrono Trigger was so damn good. I liked the Quintet games for SNES as well. ActRaiser 1 and 2, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, man the SNES had some amazing games.

I have aids

FF4 SNES/SuperFamicom version or nothing. Sorry, recommending other versions is a big enough error that I have to downvote. You don't get the intended musical experience on any other version.

Really great video! Subscribed

I think the golden age ended right after FF7. Went downhill after.

Whoa zero mention of Mystic Quest

Breath of Fire is a Capcom game, not SquareSoft.

Do an Enix list next for SNES! And thanks for speaking kindly about SaGa, i swear the average rpg game just complains too hard and says its bad

Breath of fire is not square. It was Capcom.

I love this video, as a huge fan of Squaresoft the SNES and PS1 eras were a delight. I know to some extent this was pieced together from various reviews of games over the years but it might be neat to add a post script at the end with a breakdown of the best way to play each title now (or the ones that Square-Enix have rereleased. If there is one thing I really credit SE for in recent years its for making so many of their classic titles more easily available on modern platforms (Pixel Remasters, LiveAlive 2D-HD, Trials of Mana, Many of the Saga games, etc) while some may not be perfect versions it would be helpful to those looking to get into some of them

gotta say, old dogs be old dogs.. cry bout it fanboiz

I'm late, but great ;list of titles, some id didn't even know about. B ack when I loved squaresoft......

Love the shoutout to Secret of Evermore, that was a weird one, I don’t think it even got a Japan release so score 1 for US
What’s the score now?
100-1?

Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger are my 2 favorite games of all time. Unbelievable and legendary.

Romancing SaGa 2 is the finest 16 bit RPG I've played.

Favourite jrpg: Chrono Trigger. Those color palettes!

Man I miss SquareSoft.

This is an amazing video. Thanks

Love all ur vids thank u for all of it

I know I'm late to the game (pun intended) but FFVI was and is one of if not THE greatest game (rpg or otherwise) of all time. The leaps and bounds that game had were like nothing we had seen to that point and I'd argue, since. The story, the graphics, the music, the character design, everything was groundbreaking to say the least. I'd argue that we as gamers will never see a leap like that in gaming again. That generation and that game specifically are why gaming is what it is today.
