Not every game can be Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, but these neglected series deserve a second look from Square Enix.
The short version
- Square Enix is synonymous with fantastic role-playing games, thanks to series like Final Fantasy , Dragon Quest , and Kingdom Hearts .
- But very few games are lucky enough to enjoy that kind of longevity.
- Over the years, the company has released plenty of games that had enormous potential, but for one reason or another, didn't turn into a long-running franchise or are nearly impossible to play today.
What happened
Here are a handful of Square Enix RPGs that deserve a comeback, whether it's simply a port for modern hardware, an attentive remaster, or a full-on remake. These games may not have been forgotten by fans, but all of them have suffered a bit of neglect from the developer-publisher, for one reason or another.
