To answer your question obviously SquareSoft, they popularized a whole genre for the west. But I tend to prefer Atlus, for their quirky one-off titles more than anything. |

def Atlus |
| doafan:
Atlus without a doubt. |

Squaresoft up until 6th gen. Since then, They've been goofing around, so then Atlus takes the crown from 6th gen-onwards. |

Well if the question is which had the bigger impact it'd be Square, no question. Final Fantasy VII was an absolute meteor of a smash hit and it made JRPGs a mainstream genre. No pun intended with the meteor. As fantastic as Atlus' games are they're very niche and I definitely wouldn't say they've had much of an impact on video games as a whole. JRPGs were already revolutionised by Final Fantasy and I don't think they will be a second time. If the question is which do I prefer though, depends on what timeframe we're talking. Comparing the pre-2002 companies I'd easily say Square, FF5 - 10 and Chrono Trigger are all amazing (haven't played Cross) and Final Fantasy 8 is my baby. I don't think there's any Atlus games prior to then that I like either. Since Sakaguchi leaving and the Enix merge though they've completely lost their way, and since then we've had Persona 3 4 and 5 which are gods among us that we are not worthy of. So for me Square won until 2002, then Atlus left them in the dust as of 2006. |
