Specifically, this is Enix. Square had a considerably more international outlook and viewpoint, but even a lot of that seems to have been squeezed out since the merger.
You can look at the spun-off/second-party studios to see - from Square Monolith and AlphaDream consistently pushing formal boundaries of the JRPG, vs. from Enix tri-Ace's extremely conservative approach to Star Ocean and... I can't think of any other studios.
- astrange 5y agoEnix was I think a smaller company which is now notable because their remaining people are still working even though they’re really old. That can be good (Yuji Horii has a game sensibility nobody younger would) or bad (they were stuck with their composer who was mainly known for being a far-right Japanese nationalist).
