This makes me sad because at least two of those games are unfinished and were rushed out the door.

Xenogears and...?

Saga Frontier. They were supposed to have an 8th character tie all the storylines together. It's still fantastic but it's blatantly unfinished.

I started gaming in 98 with StarCraft. It wasn't THAT long.

When you think about how many amazing games they were churning out during the late 90s it's actually insane. What kind of developer these days could pull something like that off?

1998
- Final Fantasy Tactics
- SaGa Frontier
- Einhander
- Parasite Eve
- Xenogears
- Brave Fencer Musashi

2000
- Parasite Eve II
- SaGa Frontier 2
- Front Mission 3
- Vagrant Story
- Legend of Mana
- Threads of Fate
- Chrono Cross
- Final Fantasy IX

In the never-ending pursuit of "bigger, better graphics", game development costs have quadrupled. They can't afford to churn out that man original games anymore.

Keep in mind it was a simpler time.


Triple AAA game takes 5 years to make now. Hell big budget JRPG is dead.
