Employees at Square Enix have unexpectedly discovered a hidden trove of untouched retro games in an unlikely place. While best known for its work on the Final Fantasy series, the company has also created numerous other beloved titles. The Japanese studio is known for its deep storytelling, emotional character arcs, and cinematic presentation, primarily in the arena of modern RPGs. However, Square Enix also boasts a rich collection of classic games, many of which it frequently reboots and remakes for new generations of fans to enjoy.
Beyond Final Fantasy, Square Enix has several hit franchises, including Dragon Quest, Octopath Traveler, and Bravely. Both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest have been credited with revolutionizing RPG storytelling and gameplay mechanics. Additionally, Square Enix continues to revive and reimagine its classics, as seen in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which expands the original’s narrative while introducing an overhauled combat system. Given its deep connection with retro games, the discovery of a bunch of old-school titles by its staff does make some sense.
