The star studded battle of ages. I was thinking of getting Metal Gear trilogy for black friday. I just got silent hill 2 remake. And I realized Konami might be the most stacked publisher/developers of all time. True chefs kiss to the culture.
So I was wondering where they fair against another dev that's been around since NES and SNES as well. A tried and true classic. Square Enix formerly Squaresoft. Which seems to hold favor around these parts because I noticed many of you love JRPGs and Action RPGs games from them.
Konami is known for its Turtles Games, Metal Gears and Castlevania games. 3 franchises that changed how we view the genres. Castlevania specifically having a whole genre half named after it. That changed the landscape of gaming forever. They also nailed us with great survival horror games. Suikoden. Zombies ate my neighbors and more. Its almost a no brainer.
But Square Enix is known for mostly rpg entries. But those rpg entires include Final Fantasy III (6 in japan) a game historians have as a top 10 video game of all time. Orchestral masterpiece. Final Fantasy 7 which is yet again beloved. And Kingdom Hearts trilogy. The bouncer. Square has games like chrono trigger. Breath of fire. Parasite Eve and more. Its endless with the turn based. They absolutely dominated the SNES and PS1 era.
So which do you choose? The variety of Konami's epicness? Or the less diverse but much denser heavy hitting Arsonal of Squaresoft (Enix)
Add other hats in the ring if you feel someone else deserves stake as best. (Not including Nintendo because its truly unfair)
