JRPG enthusiasts: When (if ever) did Square 'fall off' for you?

Vice City Stories was a fantastic game I thought, proving that the PSP is capable of deep gameplay. TBH, I think the problems come when they release ports onto the platform which are basically the same version as the original only with loads of functionality removed.
If it's a straight PSP game, I expect it to be very good.

VCS was great. LCS wasn't all that great, but VCS was great.
And the redundancy award goes to Jeff O'Connor, I know.

I've never played CW but GameSpot gave it a very strong score. Then again, a.) that doesn't really mean anything; b.) I recall a lot of commenters at the time remarking on the absurdity of it.
Nope, but damn if I don't want to. Money has been super-tight for the past few months and it won't be letting up for a while longer but it's on my list.
I haven't played 4 Heroes, but have heard pretty disappointing things about it from those who have. I'll proabably give it a shot some time, but I'm in no rush. CC was a good example of a fun JRPG and you may be on to something with keeping them on handhelds - it seems to be a better fit for them in this day and age.
I like the Wii, personally. I don't love it (prefer my PS3) but it accomplishes its goals well enough for me. See, I don't buy many games at all, so I've really just stuck with a few titles I knew I could trust with both consoles and it's been fine and dandy.
Comparing the two consoles' libraries, though, it's no contest.
I loathe that game but I wouldn't say it set anything back. Considering it was only a modest success sales-wise (despite the series it's created, go figure) and only its own games have really copied the formula, I've safely avoided that dren ever since.
I had all three consoles, but just cut it down to the 2 big ones after selling my Wii. Between the two of them, it's all the best titles in gaming and there's not a second that I miss my Wii. Games like Mario and Zelda just don't do anything for me any more.
Yeah, it didn't set anything back - I was being melodramatic - but I was super pissed when I played it - just awful.
Ah, if you're no longer interested in those titles then the Wii is totally unnecessary for you, no doubt.
Mario has never been the biggest thing for me although I do enjoy the series. Zelda, though... I'm really big on Zelda. It's another of my top five series. It turned 25 today, too!
I think you could have beaten it without all that, but it would have helped to have the help. I don't know because I couldn't play that POS very long. Unwrapping the case was more fun than the game itself was.
As for Zelda, I used to like it and I played it up to the last release on the Wii, but I really just didn't enjoy that one at all. It's the same game every time with a mildly different setting and story. You know when you find the hookshot, you'll have to use it to beat the boss of that dungeon... I know a lot of games have the same formulas in all their various iterations, but for some reason Zelda's really has just reached its limit for me.

Well, like we both say for MGS, I don't argue with those that dislike Zelda. You're absolutely right, but dammit, I still like it.
