Well, YEAH.
I coulda told you that when FF7 came out.
Faith was briefly restored with Chrono Cross and FF9, but they fell down again.
As things stand now, I don't have much hope for Square(now SquareEnix) untill they retire the FF name.
Well, if the Enix part of things manages to counterbalance the Square part enough...
...
Wait... Enix didn't even MAKE games at the time of the merger. They were licensing out Dragon Quest, for Pete's sake.
SquareEnix is doomed untill they realize there's more to life than FF.
They could be milking Front Mission and Seiken Densetsu.
They could have made Xenogears the best game ever, instead of half a game followed by a slide show.
They could make more new games, like Einhander and PE were.
Instead, they make FF and then if there's time, hammer something else out before the next FF.
