if you get rid of falcom rance disappears too since rance started out as a parody of adol. also makoto shinkai since he started out as an animator working for them.
It doesn't even makes sense why they're coming out of the woodworks. Rance hates pedophiles. People are literally making projections onto a series they don't like even if they're not true.

Xanadu Next was kino. Watch yo tone.
zwho
Confirmed casual. I'd be surprised if you actually played xanadu next too.
of backtracking
It's good pre-cold steel
the only way you could possible praise garbage like ys 9 is if you've never played an action game in your life which is probably true for the majority of ysgays
Not really, falcom has never really been a big influence in the gaming world, sure they did something earlier but no one gave a shit about their products to be inspired or influenced by them.
In other words, without them. Nothing changes.
That's bullshit. For instance, Dragon Slayer is a direct influence on the design of The Legend of Zelda. >the first Dragon Slayer game, which debuted in 1984. The top-down adventure is credited for pioneering the action-RPG genre, featuring real-time combat, an in-game map, and resource management. It also introduced item-based puzzles, serving as an inspiration for The Legend of Zelda series.

Toshihiro Kondo wouldn't even know if it inspired Zelda anon. Not to mention development of Zelda began before the release of Dragon Slayer so THAT'S bullshit.
Like I said, they did somethings first but weren't really influential.

Tower of Druaga was more popular and came out before Dragon Slayer. Falcomgays pretending Falcom was important in the early days are pathetic.

>ys >xanadu next >zwei >tales

And absolutely nothing of value was lost.
Nothing at all.
Oh and btw, "Tales" is usually referred to the Tales of Symphonia etc. games series, not your generic niche trash.
They may as well be. >Brown haried true mary sue self insert >Black haired guy who has little agency
People are willing to give the worst falcom game a pass just because of a terrible romance. Very much like like what shippers do. Shippers only want romance and they hate any semblance of plot and action.
Falcom, Haha... and Ys really don't matter. Square Enix for all the shit they represent still hold a few IPs I love dearly hostage and I secretly sacrifice lambs every year to try to make them publish a new Ogre Battle Saga entry.
>Square Enix
Love Dragon Quest, so no >Bandai Namco
I have no idea what weebshit games they have, but Pacman is great >Atlus
Etrian Odyssey is the peak of the genre >Falcom
I liked the first three Ys and Trails in the Sky but they're not games I'd miss much if they were gone and Falcom literally makes nothing else.
the only DQ games SE developed are 10 and 11 coincidentally the two worst games in the series, earasing them from existence will be doing a huge favor to DQ
No, seriously. SE dumps millions and millions on their projects and somehow never managed to make anything half as good as Etrian Odyssey or Strange Journey.
>Better games >"I buffed and hit the enemy with elemental weakness so I get to push the 'I win' button", now my used goods waifu might want to imply she had sex with me off screen!
Fatlus gays are pathetic
Fatlus has been better than SE for like 15 years now. I would still choose squareenix for their squaresoft years, but it's not an outlandish decision to pick atlus.
any pick other than falcom from that list is moronic, really
Bandai Namco
What do we really lose?
Tales and Fromshit, seems like a win to me.
I hate SE with burning passion but they manage to do something genuinely good every blue moon.
>a fricking soulless flight simulator >generic fighting game number 59382 >fricking racing game number 59284 >meme game from 1950 >corporate brand series that makes more from merch than vidya
Tales would stay alive because it wasn't supposed to be their own in the first place, it'll just change publisher. Same with fromsoft, they don't own it. Demons souls was published by SE and every single from game was published by fromsoft themselves in japan. Same thing again with xenosaga, xenogears was developed and published by square.
The common misconception in this thread seems to be that bamco made and developed the games they published which is moronic.
Falcom is the most safe because nothing of value is lost, I would only miss Ys but just a little
SE as SE not Square and Enix has done little to nothing worth oof lamenting, maybe dissidia and maybe KH but lately doesn't feel like that, I would hesitate with this one.
Bamco is a no go, hell no, they are the worst but the shit they have done for the medium is on par to Nintendo
ATLUS, is a hard one, because they have legacy... tons, but they are the most mismanaged motherfrickers on the industry, we would lose a ton if they go so I'm not so sure if I would let it go.
If you don't pick square enix you're a boomer.
if you pick bamco you're a straight white male.
if you pick atlus you're a normalgay.
if you pick falcom you're a zoomer.
>If you don't pick square enix you're a boomer. >if you pick falcom you're a zoomer.
These are contradictory statements, how can you be a boomzer and a zoomber?
SE made a few good FF games, publishes DQ, made stuff like Musashi on the PS1 and made Chrono Trigger as well as the Ivalice and Tactics games. It wasn't until the 2000s that they became shit.
Bandai Namco made Digimon World 1 on the PS1 which by itself justifies their existence.
Fatlus made P3FES and the mainline SMT games, as well as a few good spinoffs.
Falcom made a few okay action RPGs a 3 decades ago.
Falcolm. Not because I dislike them, but because I have little to no attachment to them. The other three have made games I've enjoyed, while I don't think I ever played anything/barely played anything from Falcom. Ideally none of them should get the boot.
I would say falcom, but I'm worried about collateral damage. If "every game they've ever made goes", is that retroactive? IE: never existed? Nuking falcom might cause a lot of games inspired by early works of theirs to poof, and that would be shit.
Atlus is probably the safe choice. Bamco used to be two seperate companies, so if you're nuking everthing from both bandai-licensed and namco alike, that's a catatrosphe, and squeenix same thing. Too much shit under their umbrella that shouldn't be nuked.
>I would say falcom, but I'm worried about collateral damage.
Everyone played the Heroes games in Japan, but it's not like you're getting rid of Wizardry or Sword World. People overestimate how influential Falcom was.
I wouldn’t get rid of of Bandai Namco solely because they’re responsible for Mr. Driller, one of my all time favorite game series. Plus I like some of their old arcade titles like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, and Mappy.
Don’t care for the rest of those companies, so any of them could go.
I've never played a Ys / Trails game and as far as I'm aware they don't make anything else so they're the easy first pick.
Atlus is in a similar boat because they basically don't do anything other than Persona / SMT but I've liked some of the SMT games so they can stay.
Squeenix hasn't made a good game in a while now but losing out on Dragon Quest, the early Final Fantasys, and their SNES and PSX line ups is rough.
Bamco also hasn't made a good game in a while but you lose even more with them. No more Pac-Man, Tekken, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Soul Calibur, Klonoa, Mr. Driller, Katamari, you just lose way too much.
Falcom's impact and catalog are miniscule compared to every other company listed. Regardless how you feel about each companies' franchises, this is an easy choice.
Falcom, easily. I respect their legacy and thought early Ys and Xanadu were cool but that's it. Nothing they've done compares to Bamco's iconic IPs, SE's golden age + cool little IPs such as TWEWY, or what Atlus did during the Kaneko years of SMT, Persona 1-3, Etrian Odyssey, or their smaller side projects like Trauma Center.
>Falcom is THE grandfather of Japanese RPGs
No. People wildly overstate how influential Falcom was. They were early, but they weren't as important as you think. The really important games were Ultima and Wizardry.
falcom were around in the beginning but they had no real infuence on the industry
look at any of the big jrpgs and can you honestly and sincerely trace any of them to anything falcom ever did?
dragon slayer and xanadu are just derivitaves of other games that already existed, just like they make to this day and have made throughout their entire history
this historical revisionism falcomgays do is so cringe
All 3 can go for all I care but keep Falcom
Scamco has made way more garbage than all 3 combined and FF is a corpse already
Fatlus can stay because their gameplay shaped Cold Steel
https://vocaroo.com/1kXSb7XLwwGA
Frick off Cold Steel zoomer, what gameplay? You ironic weeb homosexuals are only in it for the forced haha Rean memes, and probably have never touched any of the earlier Trails games.
Falcom didn't inspire shit, they are obscure and irrelevant in their home country
the fact they aren't as successful as their peers in all their years in the business speaks volumes to their mediocrity
falcom, 0 question
ys was cool for a while but since they started going to this shitty button mashing hack and slash shit they can go right the frick to hell, and they've never made anything even tangentially enjoyable since.
fatlus made neo steam and SMT
bamco made all those surprisingly neat anime IP sloppas
squenix made FF and DQ.
Unless we're saying squenix is only the sum, and not the original square and enix, that'd be a bit closer, but I'll still choose falcom cause man, I just cannot think of a single falcom game that isn't complete shovelware.
>Enter thread >Post one line post >Leave
Fricking phone homosexuals, they do this in every thread as if they think it's an official poll that someone is logging and will be catalogued and stored then sent for market research where the winner of the outcome or loser in this thread's case is eliminated.
Missing the fricking point of these threads, OP is meant for a discussion starter, to get you talking and discussing what you like and dislike about the companies, your favourite games, your least favourite games and why, but the main thing is to have a discussion and talk about games.
If you're coming into the thread to leave a one line post and then leave, this site might as well just be a Poll opinion site with options to click because it's amounting to the same result.
What is with people that obsess with things they dislike and run some campaign to tear down any discussion about it? It's one thing to insult something and move on, but why dedicate so much time obsessively shitposting about something you hate?
Sengoku is a good game but it's also intresting in the others to see Rance interact with all the girls around him which he eventually starts to love as they too live him. Rance IX he has a moment with a green haired girl about this telling her he's going to try other ways than raping her to gain her affection.
I sorta liked sengoku rance, but the porn was fricking horrendously awful, and the gameplay has a very specific sweet spot where it's balanced, as in, not a complete shitterstomp and not moronicly difficult more aligned with a puzzle than a strategy game.
The rest of the series was plain boring to me.
Rance series is known for it's huge world building in Japan, just Rance X alone has the biggest script in gaming.
https://gamicus.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_longest_video_game_scripts
But here in the west people don't play games with porn if the porn doesn't revolve around the game.
>huge world building
That's neat, but does anything actually interesting take place in said world? Otherwise you may as well stick to reading wiki entries >has the biggest script in gaming
I'm not sure if that qualifies as a good or a bad thing
Plenty of interesting things happen in the games and a lot of it gets pushed aside because Rance ignores 90% of what's going on and has to be tardwrangled to fight the right enemy because he's like your typical speedreader that just wants to get to the porn scenes.
only rance 1/2 and 5 are low on it. Although the others can take a while to get going.
JP >Set up and building is more important than the porn scene because they know people ejaculate in under 10 minutes when jerking off, so they want to keep people invested
West >HAHA ASS AND TIDDY LETS GET RIGHT TO THE SMUT. IT'S JUST PORN, WHY MAKE THE GAME LAST MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR? NOBODY CAN FAP THAT LONG.
It's actually amazing how different the culture is when it comes to smut.
yeah i like falcom but they never became mainstream for a reason and it's not because of lel plebs can't appreciate heckin ludo Ganker shitpost reasons
>Company worth 3-4 US billies >3-4x more than Capcom >Just made partnership with Microsoft
Yeah I'm thinking SquareEnix is around to stay. Now if they had stuck with the old CEO and his continued plans for moving the company towards NFTs and blockchain shit I would agree that SE was fricked, but with a new, younger CEO who has already reverted that NFT decision and making moves. It's looking good for them for the future.
I'd say get rid of Flacom since they haven't made a good game since Xanadu Next.
Square is really pushing out big budget garbage though. Like episodic FF7remake and 15/16.
Bamco are publishers and I sure Armored Core, Soul Calibur and Ace Combat would find a way to live.
Atlus are okay? I guess? SMT is edgymon and Persona feels like a shitty Yakuza.
Why is falcom here? I literally had to look up what games they're responsible for. Obvious choice is obvious. If it's between the other 3 I'd say square.
Square Enix made a lot of classics but a lot of what they make now is awful
Bandai Namco releases so much licensed shovelware but the few good games they do release redeem them
Atlus are mostly love them or hate them. I'm kind of ambivalent on them but I enjoy some of their Franchises like Etrian Odyssey.
Falcom never made a game that was more than a 7/10 at most. Why are they even here?
Square made The World ends with you and its sequel not to mention KH 1 and 2, this alone is more important than any game the other 3 made, Bandai Namco wouldn't be missed.
its more like falcomgays are a joke and they know it so they just spam ironic shitty memes and act moronic on purpose.
it's like that kid who was fat and nobody liked so he made jokes about himself to try and fit in but it just made everyone hate him more. that's falcomgays.
Atlus easily, mostly because I've literally never played anything by them at all, ever. If I had I'd probably say Bandai because they've fallen off and series like tales and shit just dont hit right anymore.
Tough call, but I'd get rid of every single one except Square Enix, and only because they helped make Super Mario RPG. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are trash.
Anyone saying Falcom is a zoomer who doesn't know they shaped the history of JRPGs, and would cause every other JRPG in existence to disappear if they got chosen.
Sad day to see how many braindead morons are on this board, but then again I guess the normalgay infestation can instantly recognizes the other 3 for Souls, FF and Persona.
>Falcom is THE grandfather of Japanese RPGs
No. People wildly overstate how influential Falcom was. They were early, but they weren't as important as you think. The really important games were Ultima and Wizardry.
Very true.
Wizardry was surprisingly popular in Japan.
>Anyone saying Falcom is a zoomer who doesn't know they shaped the history of JRPGs, and would cause every other JRPG in existence to disappear if they got chosen.
Anyone saying this is a moronic weeb who pretends to know a lot about Japanese media but actually has no idea what the frick they're talking about.
the systems of ys/Xanadu didn't shape anything, ys itself dropped its core mechanics and adopted other action rpg styles instead. kiseki was the one that got influenced by landmark jrpgs (xenogears/suikoden), not the other way around.
Falcom is the obvious choice and I even like them. Every other company there has at least one game/series that's still good in the modern era. Ys is waning in quality every entry and Kiseki has been terrible since Coldsteel.
falcomgays think that because they made a game that was one of the first in 1984 that everything that ever made is influential even though nobody played that game and everything they made after that was wholely irrelevant to the history of jrpgs
ys is almost 40 years old and pretty much nobody has even heard of it that's how utterly irrelevent they are. falcomgays also jerk off all the music but when all that jrpg music was played at the tokyo olympics not a single falcom track was selected.
>noooo nooo i was keeping this tab open to know if someone replied to me you HAVE to (You) me or i wont immediately know i got today's dose of attention!!!
Banmco/SE have too many important titles under their belt (especially premergers) to even consider it.
Falcom is mostly a developer and rarely publishes other companies games, and also a PC/Windows developer and probably one of the few japanese companies that actually do PC games at a none-trash quality.
Atlus has never made anything unique or special, SMT is probably the only thing but even that's just a generic RPG series with demons at the end of the day. Same with Persona, despite in fact getting rid of persona is a plus. I'd miss the actual good shit they had a hand in developing and publishing.
If it only nukes every game they developed (and not published) Atlus is the easiest one to axe. They have never made anything meaningful. At least Falcom makes PC games in a PC-game starved JP environment. Atlus just releases games other companies do better.
Square Enix. That would only eliminate all of the games after their merger, so Square and Enix' separate impacts on the industry would still be in-tact.
On that note, Final Fantasy X was still under Squaresoft's name when it initially released. It's the last "good" mainline FF game in my opinion, even if many (including myself) see it as the beginning of the downfall of the series.
If you're solely talking about games those companies have developed internally then it would be Square without hesitation, as they have never made a single great game in their entire history. If we're including all of their published games as well then Square would have to survive due to Dragon Quest, and Falcom would be axed instead.
Never played a Falcom game so maybe that.
But if I wanted to put a company out of their misery because they are in such a sad state now, it would be Square Enix.
SMTIV is one of my favorite games of all time but the world would genuinely be a better place if Katsura Hashino never got into game development.
It's Atlus.
Part of me really wants to get rid of Falcom mainly because I can't stand what they've been making for the past decade considering my introduction to them were the Brandish games and Xanadu Next.
Probably already been answered, but does Square Enix count as Squaresoft. Because my first jrpg was ff3(6) in 3rd grade. And my friends and I were obsessed with Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore in grade school. Long live Squaresoft
I have no fricking idea who falcom even is or what kinda games they make
that being said, my vote goes to square enix, GOODBYE YOU BAFOONS MWAHAHAHAHA
FRICK SQUARE ENIX
Atlus. >No more Shit Megami >No more gaysona >No more Pokemon too because Gamefreak can't copy MT2's mechanics
I would miss Catherine since it's a fun puzzle game but that's it.
>Squeenix: The TWEWY duology, KH1 and KH2, Valkyrie Profile, Parasite Eve, Strangers of Paradise >Atlus: Radiant Historia, Devil Survivor, Digital Devil Saga, Strange Journey, Etrian Odyssey >Bamco: Tales (the good ones at least), Soul Calibur, Tekken >Falcom: Ys
Like a lot of these franchises/sub-series but overall, I would cut out Falcom as the weakest link
All the good Squeenix games are from before the merger, so if killing Squeenix preserves everything Squaresoft and everything Enix I'll gladly get rid of them.
Falcon. Despite Ganker's justifiable attitude towards the other 3 in modern times I sure as shit don't want any of their golden era games to be erased.
I don't give a shit about both Fatlus and SE, but SE made some pretty good games in the past like Parasite Eve. Meanwhile Fatlus just made bargain bin dungeon crawlers and dating sims for people who hate dating sims. Oh and Catherine I guess.
Digimon
Gundam
Almost every anime based game
Katamari
Taiko no Tatsujin
Tekken
Ace Combat
Soul Calibur
Klonoa
And I assume published games go too so most Souls games.
Also if they go their toy and anime production goes too.
>S-E has the godly PSX-era games >Bamco has the PSX Namco Museum games which are unironic kino >Fatlus has... >Falcom has nothing but incredibly bland JRPGs, but gets credit for laying the ARPG foundation
Fatlus it is. Never cared for SMT nor Purse Owner anyway.
Atlus is the one that make sense the most even if I really like a few of their games.
Bamco, on the other hand, would eliminate so much good shit its insane
SE might be shit today but we can’t erase their history, so I go with Bandai Namco, we lose Pacman but I think it’s worth it considering we get rid of all licensed anime shovelware
i don't understand the appeal of Falcom. Ys is a terrible series and especially the more modern games are some of the most badly designed action rpgs on the market. Trails is like everything people hate about JRPGs in one series. Tokyo Xanadu I think might actually be one of the worst games i've ever played. Zwei and Gurumin are just baby shit. The rest of their games aren't even in English and they probably are just as forgettable.
I choose Namco since they're the only company where erasing it wouldn't wouldn't impact Undertale's existence.
Still need Brandish, Dragon Quest and SMT to continue existing.
Black person without namco the famicom gets no third party support at all and mother never comes out at all
i bet you're a chara genocideBlack person too
>Black person without namco the famicom gets no third party support at all and mother never comes out at all
If you we go by that anon

moron
, then their games before their merger would remain >i bet you're a chara genocideBlack person too
I don't know what you're saying but I'm gonna say no
then why not delete squeenix? you're deleting nothing of worth, i doubt toby took anything from post merger (2003 onwards) squeenix slop like modern final fantasy or call of duty tier dragon quest either and overall bamco still released a few good games right after the merger
anyone who picks bamco is literally fricking moronic >every single game they've ever made goes with them
good job morons you just killed >the arcade industry circa 1980 >the famicom and probably nintendo itself (namco was the first and one of nintendo's most important third parties) >polygonal 3d games (one of the two mayor innovators in this regard alongside sega) >sony (arguably a good thing but namco was their earliest and one of their most important third parties during the ps1 era and they also made the ps1 piss easy to develop for with their sdk vs the saturn because otherwise it was just as much of a mess as it)
bamco might be shit now but if you delete them you delete videogames
wow so it only magically deletes their post merger output? does that mean deleting squeenix only deletes their post merger garbagefire output too? that means squeenix is the clearest, most obvious choice because they've released literally nothing of worth since the merger
Someone will take their place
Perhaps Nintendo or Sega
sega maybe but you'd still be setting the games industry a decade or so back since a lot of sega's advancements in arcades came from their competition with namco
nintendo on the other hand is mostly fricking irrelevant without the famicom
>Squeenix has a metric frickton of JRPGs >Bamco makes a whole lot of everything in any genre >Atlus does a lot of first person dungeon crawlers, which are fun but I prefer other stuff >Falcom music is kino
goodbye Atlus
Square enix because they've never made anything good. Just shit morons played as kids which caused synapses to form making morons obsessed with them like kids who get weird fetishes like being a furry from watching kid cartoons.
Falcom or squeenix because I've never cared about a game they've made. Well, I liked stranger of paradise, so I'd pick Falcom because I don't play Yshit
>ueghhh if you le delete falcom then the games inspired by the games they made wouldn't exist.
No, they would exist. OP doesn't say that everything they inspired would be deleted too.
Also, it doesn't say it rewrites history to make those never exist either. It just deletes them. Like basically all copies and the source code of all their games disappear and they're no longer registered as a company and no one has jobs anymore.
does the porn stay?
yes, but only for the fetishes' you don't like
>does the porn stay?
Not OP but I'm assuming no but that would probably mean the horn artists will instead make more porn of other things
Square Enix easily
Falcom literally has nothing.
if you get rid of falcom rance disappears too since rance started out as a parody of adol. also makoto shinkai since he started out as an animator working for them.
Okay?
>makoto shinkai
And absolutely nothing of value was lost.
>Pedo porn games
And nothing of value was lost!
>Pedo porn game
>From a guy who actively kills pedos in the games because fricking kids is wrong
T. brainlet.
Half his girls look 12. Maybe Rance should kill himself.
Maybe you should, too.
>Falcomgays already resorting to the "muh porn" angle
Nobody gives a frick about incel garbage like Rance. Play a good porn game. Also frick Falcom, they made Trails of Cold Steel.
>NOOOOOOOOOO if you remove this literal turd then this other turd wouldn't exist anymore!!!!!
So nothing of value is lost? You can shove your Ranshit up your troony hole, no one but coomers care about another ero kusoge.
>whataboutism
I've tried playing Rance once and their was a huge pedohomosexual within the first 5 mintues talking to me, it's not worth saving.
>their
>whataboutism
That's not whataboutism you idiot, that's an explanation, whataboutism is reflection.
Falcom it is.
>Only thing Falcom has going for them is that a porn company unrelated to them creating a porn parody of their games
Kek
and nothing of value was lost. Pull the trigger
Geniunely. Is amazing how many fricking Anti-e-girlgays have came into this place since...Last month?
It doesn't even makes sense why they're coming out of the woodworks. Rance hates pedophiles. People are literally making projections onto a series they don't like even if they're not true.
it's literally one dude replying 20 times, you can tell most replies are made by the same person
Just summergays. They'll disappear when school starts again.
As much I fricking hate ironic and uniornic pedophiles, you can tell the people with the weird take on Rance are the same moral crusaders making endless BG3 threads.
>if you get rid of falcom rance disappears too
And?
Rance is so fricking overrated.
Rance copied Bastard, a manga that debuted several months earlier than Rance. Dark Schneider is the dark wizard version of Rance.
Rance has 1 good game and only because of it's gameplay.
Everything else is shit about it and Alicesoft is overrated as hell.

How was the audio?
If you get rid of Falcom, all the others go away. Falcom is one of if not the main company that brought RPGs to Japan.
Not really, falcom has never really been a big influence in the gaming world, sure they did something earlier but no one gave a shit about their products to be inspired or influenced by them.
In other words, without them. Nothing changes.
>gaming world
I'm not talking about "the gaming world". I'm talking about Japan.
Yes?
Anon, if they never had an impact in the gaming world that includes Japan. They've never been influential, not even there.
That's bullshit. For instance, Dragon Slayer is a direct influence on the design of The Legend of Zelda.
>the first Dragon Slayer game, which debuted in 1984. The top-down adventure is credited for pioneering the action-RPG genre, featuring real-time combat, an in-game map, and resource management. It also introduced item-based puzzles, serving as an inspiration for The Legend of Zelda series.

>Dragon Slayer is a direct influence on the design of The Legend of Zelda.
Toshihiro Kondo wouldn't even know if it inspired Zelda anon. Not to mention development of Zelda began before the release of Dragon Slayer so THAT'S bullshit.
Like I said, they did somethings first but weren't really influential.
Now you're just making shit up. Just STFU.
It's all true anon. Not to mention dragon slayer is never mentioned in the long list of Zelda inspirations.
Medieval Europe does
Mario does
Lord of the rings does
Miyamoto's childhood
But not dragon slayer because no one gave a shit about it.
Tower of Druaga was more popular and came out before Dragon Slayer. Falcomgays pretending Falcom was important in the early days are pathetic.
This.
It's an absolute no-brainer.
And absolutely nothing of value was lost.
Nothing at all.
Oh and btw, "Tales" is usually referred to the Tales of Symphonia etc. games series, not your generic niche trash.
BUT FALCOM HAS KIRITO AND ASUNA!!!!!!!!!!
Falcom is behind SAO?
Then that's cementing my choice, they have to go.
They may as well be.
>Brown haried true mary sue self insert
>Black haired guy who has little agency
People are willing to give the worst falcom game a pass just because of a terrible romance. Very much like like what shippers do. Shippers only want romance and they hate any semblance of plot and action.
>get rid of Falcom
>get rid of Rean
absolutely no downsides
>UWAHHHH!!
>CHOOSING MY WIFE?
>IN AN RPG!?
>I DON'T WANT THAT!
>CHOOSING MY WIFE?
>IN AN RPG!?
why don't you choose a wife irl instead?
probably Atlus, I wouldn't miss any of their games too much
Bamco. I dont even play falcom games but i can acknowledge people enjoy them
What about pacman?
well does Dark Souls count as bamco since it's published by them? Falcom is the PS5 of vidya developers. they have no games.
Does eliminating Square Enix mean that Square and Enix as individual companies also disappear?
Falcom, Haha... and Ys really don't matter. Square Enix for all the shit they represent still hold a few IPs I love dearly hostage and I secretly sacrifice lambs every year to try to make them publish a new Ogre Battle Saga entry.
if their pre-merger games go untouched i'd go with either squeenix or bamco.
otherwise, fatlus.
Square Enix. I'd only miss the FFT games.
squeenix, not even a question
I frick Square, I marry Atlus, and I kill Namco
those gays shouldn't have DMCA'd me
Falcom obviously, they make 1 game.
What do you honestly lose by saying Falcom?
I no longer would have a reason to hold back.
your farts? piss maybe?
All the other 3 companies collapse too since killing Falcom kills all the inspiration for other JRPGs to ever exist
But Falcom doesn't own dragon quest.
Sounds like a deal to me
mediocre outdated jrpgs
Falcom. They're one of the laziest devs in the entire medium irrespective of genre. Also have predatory day 1 DLC for $180+ for each of their games.
Square Enix
i like ys but i'm thinkin falcom
>eliminate square enix
>technically they aren't Squaresoft or Square anymore
Checkmate, genie-kun
>Square Enix
Love Dragon Quest, so no
>Bandai Namco
I have no idea what weebshit games they have, but Pacman is great
>Atlus
Etrian Odyssey is the peak of the genre
>Falcom
I liked the first three Ys and Trails in the Sky but they're not games I'd miss much if they were gone and Falcom literally makes nothing else.
the only DQ games SE developed are 10 and 11 coincidentally the two worst games in the series, earasing them from existence will be doing a huge favor to DQ
>Ganker likes Fatlus over Squeenix
Bullshit.
The Persona team alone have done more damage to the JRPG genre than ANY dev.
They make better games than SE, why wouldn't people prefer them?
Maybe if you're a "woman"
No, seriously. SE dumps millions and millions on their projects and somehow never managed to make anything half as good as Etrian Odyssey or Strange Journey.
>Better games
>"I buffed and hit the enemy with elemental weakness so I get to push the 'I win' button", now my used goods waifu might want to imply she had sex with me off screen!
Fatlus gays are pathetic
don't forget that 70% of the "game" is a lazy as shit visual novel and even lazier "life sim." Catherine was their last game worth a shit
Ironic that someone who unironically uses "used goods" would call anyone else pathetic
Literally the best JRPG franchise of the generation. Stay mad.
Fatlus has been better than SE for like 15 years now. I would still choose squareenix for their squaresoft years, but it's not an outlandish decision to pick atlus.
any pick other than falcom from that list is moronic, really
Their shovelware is good
Bandai Namco
What do we really lose?
Tales and Fromshit, seems like a win to me.
I hate SE with burning passion but they manage to do something genuinely good every blue moon.

unironically smash ultimate.
That's actually a good thing. Nobody aside from a bunch of manchildren cares about tendo crap.
Klonoa
Tales
From
Xenoblade since Xenosaga wouldn't exist
A lot of licensed jrpgs and crossover games
Tales would stay alive because it wasn't supposed to be their own in the first place, it'll just change publisher. Same with fromsoft, they don't own it. Demons souls was published by SE and every single from game was published by fromsoft themselves in japan. Same thing again with xenosaga, xenogears was developed and published by square.
The common misconception in this thread seems to be that bamco made and developed the games they published which is moronic.
Digimon
literally most videogames you single digit iq moron, enjoy your pre pacman western made garbage homosexual
Squeenix. Make it a bit harder next time family.
I didn't know falcom existed until 8 years ago when I played neptunia and saw their stand in character
Falcom is the most safe because nothing of value is lost, I would only miss Ys but just a little
SE as SE not Square and Enix has done little to nothing worth oof lamenting, maybe dissidia and maybe KH but lately doesn't feel like that, I would hesitate with this one.
Bamco is a no go, hell no, they are the worst but the shit they have done for the medium is on par to Nintendo
ATLUS, is a hard one, because they have legacy... tons, but they are the most mismanaged motherfrickers on the industry, we would lose a ton if they go so I'm not so sure if I would let it go.
>maybe KH
KH1 and Final Mix were both SquareSoft. CoM onwards were all Square Enix.
any all none whatever who gives a frick about any of these
Tough
Se is my favorite
Atlus personas are decent
Falcom has trails in the sky trilogy
And Bandai has Digimon world
I guess atlus has nothing to offer
If you don't pick square enix you're a boomer.
if you pick bamco you're a straight white male.
if you pick atlus you're a normalgay.
if you pick falcom you're a zoomer.
>If you don't pick square enix you're a boomer.
>if you pick falcom you're a zoomer.
These are contradictory statements, how can you be a boomzer and a zoomber?
binaries aren't contradictory.
SE made a few good FF games, publishes DQ, made stuff like Musashi on the PS1 and made Chrono Trigger as well as the Ivalice and Tactics games. It wasn't until the 2000s that they became shit.
Bandai Namco made Digimon World 1 on the PS1 which by itself justifies their existence.
Fatlus made P3FES and the mainline SMT games, as well as a few good spinoffs.
Falcom made a few okay action RPGs a 3 decades ago.
Get rid of Falcom.
I'd have to google what IPs Bandai even have so I guess I pick them
Falcolm. Not because I dislike them, but because I have little to no attachment to them. The other three have made games I've enjoyed, while I don't think I ever played anything/barely played anything from Falcom. Ideally none of them should get the boot.
Square Enix and falcom can both go
atlus, frick persona
I would say falcom, but I'm worried about collateral damage. If "every game they've ever made goes", is that retroactive? IE: never existed? Nuking falcom might cause a lot of games inspired by early works of theirs to poof, and that would be shit.
Atlus is probably the safe choice. Bamco used to be two seperate companies, so if you're nuking everthing from both bandai-licensed and namco alike, that's a catatrosphe, and squeenix same thing. Too much shit under their umbrella that shouldn't be nuked.
>I would say falcom, but I'm worried about collateral damage.
Everyone played the Heroes games in Japan, but it's not like you're getting rid of Wizardry or Sword World. People overestimate how influential Falcom was.
343 Industries.
Frick yes fatlus
Meh square
No Namco
Frick no falcom, they gave us rean
I wouldn’t get rid of of Bandai Namco solely because they’re responsible for Mr. Driller, one of my all time favorite game series. Plus I like some of their old arcade titles like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, and Mappy.
Don’t care for the rest of those companies, so any of them could go.
Falcom > Atlus >>>> Squeenix >>>>> Bamco
I've never played a Ys / Trails game and as far as I'm aware they don't make anything else so they're the easy first pick.
Atlus is in a similar boat because they basically don't do anything other than Persona / SMT but I've liked some of the SMT games so they can stay.
Squeenix hasn't made a good game in a while now but losing out on Dragon Quest, the early Final Fantasys, and their SNES and PSX line ups is rough.
Bamco also hasn't made a good game in a while but you lose even more with them. No more Pac-Man, Tekken, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Soul Calibur, Klonoa, Mr. Driller, Katamari, you just lose way too much.
Falcom's impact and catalog are miniscule compared to every other company listed. Regardless how you feel about each companies' franchises, this is an easy choice.
breasts alone is better than the other companies catalogs combined
I don't know what falcom makes so them.
Falcom, easily. I respect their legacy and thought early Ys and Xanadu were cool but that's it. Nothing they've done compares to Bamco's iconic IPs, SE's golden age + cool little IPs such as TWEWY, or what Atlus did during the Kaneko years of SMT, Persona 1-3, Etrian Odyssey, or their smaller side projects like Trauma Center.
Even things they published but didn't develop? I don't care for what Atlus produces internally, but I'd hate to lose DonPachi or Run Saber.
Id say Squenix in a heartbeat but FFV and Cross are so good...
If you delete Falcom then you effectively delete the rest.
Falcom is THE grandfather of Japanese RPGs and many of the most major faces of JRPGs than went on to those other companies had their start at Falcom.
Falcom is there as a trap answer and so many of you are falling for it.
So jarpigs have the chance to be a good genre or just never be made?
Slamming my fricking nuts on the falcom button like a prostitute's face then.
>Falcom is THE grandfather of Japanese RPGs
No. People wildly overstate how influential Falcom was. They were early, but they weren't as important as you think. The really important games were Ultima and Wizardry.
>irrelevant company nobody has heard of invented jrpgs
No wonder JRPGS are such garbage then????
falcom were around in the beginning but they had no real infuence on the industry
look at any of the big jrpgs and can you honestly and sincerely trace any of them to anything falcom ever did?
There is a pretty goddamn direct throughline from Dragon Slayer and Xanadu yes
dragon slayer and xanadu are just derivitaves of other games that already existed, just like they make to this day and have made throughout their entire history
this historical revisionism falcomgays do is so cringe
Enlighten me what Dragon Slayer was derivative of
way more people played hydlide than ever played dragon slayer
Wasn't my question. You lose, and are moronic.
Tower of Druaga
DQ predates YS, try again
Xanadu predates DQ, try again homosexual
Yeah dude I'm sure Falcom was influential in Namco creating Pac-Man and Galaga
>THE grandfather of Japanese RPGs
That would be Dragon quest or wizardry buddy
I get rid of every person who makes these things.
All 3 can go for all I care but keep Falcom
Scamco has made way more garbage than all 3 combined and FF is a corpse already
Fatlus can stay because their gameplay shaped Cold Steel
https://vocaroo.com/1kXSb7XLwwGA
Based
Frick off Cold Steel zoomer, what gameplay? You ironic weeb homosexuals are only in it for the forced haha Rean memes, and probably have never touched any of the earlier Trails games.
Based and truthpilled
Zoomers will never appreciate this point unfortunately
Pac-Man predates it so Falcom and the JRPG genre can burn for all I care.
You could kill the creator of DND and that would have a thousand times more effect in erasing RPG
>THE grandfather
KEK. I've seen similar arguments from Mushoku Tenseigays, not realizing how much shit their favorite series is.
Falcom didn't inspire shit, they are obscure and irrelevant in their home country
the fact they aren't as successful as their peers in all their years in the business speaks volumes to their mediocrity
falcom easy
Bamco sucks fat wieners and they didn't develop souls so they can disappear any day
square enix
Square Enix and it's not even close. Make it harder next time.
Fatlus
Oh, Bandai Namco. Easy. I like there games, but all the others have essential games.
Especially if Square Enix includes Squaresoft.
falcom, 0 question
ys was cool for a while but since they started going to this shitty button mashing hack and slash shit they can go right the frick to hell, and they've never made anything even tangentially enjoyable since.
fatlus made neo steam and SMT
bamco made all those surprisingly neat anime IP sloppas
squenix made FF and DQ.
Unless we're saying squenix is only the sum, and not the original square and enix, that'd be a bit closer, but I'll still choose falcom cause man, I just cannot think of a single falcom game that isn't complete shovelware.
Don't have a motherfrick of an idea about what Falcom does, so i guess i'll kill SEGA
Can i eliminate four?

Fricking phone homosexuals, they do this in every thread as if they think it's an official poll that someone is logging and will be catalogued and stored then sent for market research where the winner of the outcome or loser in this thread's case is eliminated.
Missing the fricking point of these threads, OP is meant for a discussion starter, to get you talking and discussing what you like and dislike about the companies, your favourite games, your least favourite games and why, but the main thing is to have a discussion and talk about games.
If you're coming into the thread to leave a one line post and then leave, this site might as well just be a Poll opinion site with options to click because it's amounting to the same result.
Falcom sucks, can't take it? Then kys.
>nu-Ganker doesn't like rance now
holy shit please go back
Rance was never liked here, one or two homosexuals forcing discussion doesn't mean all of Ganker.
Doesn't that guy have a banter? A reasonable amount of people had to give a shit about those games, even if it was short lived.
>he doesnt know about the contrarian rance schizo
What is with people that obsess with things they dislike and run some campaign to tear down any discussion about it? It's one thing to insult something and move on, but why dedicate so much time obsessively shitposting about something you hate?
here have a crash course in Internet People(tm)
Sengoku is a good game but it's also intresting in the others to see Rance interact with all the girls around him which he eventually starts to love as they too live him. Rance IX he has a moment with a green haired girl about this telling her he's going to try other ways than raping her to gain her affection.
My post was Rance related, but I still get the feeling your reply was meant for someone else.
I sorta liked sengoku rance, but the porn was fricking horrendously awful, and the gameplay has a very specific sweet spot where it's balanced, as in, not a complete shitterstomp and not moronicly difficult more aligned with a puzzle than a strategy game.
The rest of the series was plain boring to me.
I mean, outside of Sengoku having fun gameplay and Rance saying funny shit what exactly does the series have to offer to most people on here?
Rance series is known for it's huge world building in Japan, just Rance X alone has the biggest script in gaming.
https://gamicus.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_longest_video_game_scripts
But here in the west people don't play games with porn if the porn doesn't revolve around the game.
>huge world building
That's neat, but does anything actually interesting take place in said world? Otherwise you may as well stick to reading wiki entries
>has the biggest script in gaming
I'm not sure if that qualifies as a good or a bad thing
Without a huge script world building isn't possible or rather it's going to be shit.
Plenty of interesting things happen in the games and a lot of it gets pushed aside because Rance ignores 90% of what's going on and has to be tardwrangled to fight the right enemy because he's like your typical speedreader that just wants to get to the porn scenes.
only rance 1/2 and 5 are low on it. Although the others can take a while to get going.
JP
>Set up and building is more important than the porn scene because they know people ejaculate in under 10 minutes when jerking off, so they want to keep people invested
West
>HAHA ASS AND TIDDY LETS GET RIGHT TO THE SMUT. IT'S JUST PORN, WHY MAKE THE GAME LAST MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR? NOBODY CAN FAP THAT LONG.
It's actually amazing how different the culture is when it comes to smut.
>t Rance X alone has the biggest script in gaming.
in the link you posted it's #2 you fricking moron
The link he posted shows Rance as number 1 tho, VNs arent games
Goodbye square. Nah that's too nice go frick yourself square not going to miss you
I like a decent amount of falcom's games but overall they have little to no impact on the industry and their catalog is mostly mediocre. Easy choice.
yeah i like falcom but they never became mainstream for a reason and it's not because of lel plebs can't appreciate heckin ludo Ganker shitpost reasons
Square Enix has both feet in the grave already. Somebody just needs to put them down.
>Company worth 3-4 US billies
>3-4x more than Capcom
>Just made partnership with Microsoft
Yeah I'm thinking SquareEnix is around to stay. Now if they had stuck with the old CEO and his continued plans for moving the company towards NFTs and blockchain shit I would agree that SE was fricked, but with a new, younger CEO who has already reverted that NFT decision and making moves. It's looking good for them for the future.
I don't remember liking any bandai namco game aside from tales which they stole and fricked over anyways.
Good riddance.
I'd say get rid of Flacom since they haven't made a good game since Xanadu Next.
Square is really pushing out big budget garbage though. Like episodic FF7remake and 15/16.
Bamco are publishers and I sure Armored Core, Soul Calibur and Ace Combat would find a way to live.
Atlus are okay? I guess? SMT is edgymon and Persona feels like a shitty Yakuza.
Why is falcom here? I literally had to look up what games they're responsible for. Obvious choice is obvious. If it's between the other 3 I'd say square.
Ita probably there because homosexuals like to force the meme that they invented the JRPG when Ultima did that.
kisekucks think their series is one of the top jrpg franchises
Whats a falcom game?
its budget derivative weebshit that people try to pretend is more presitigious because they've been making it since the 80s
they were the original F-Zero devs before Nintendo bought the ip and renamed the main character
>developer not publisher
Well, that's easy then. Bandai Namco.
Frick you. Ace Combat 8 needs to come out first.
Atlus. I think Megaten is cool but I really don't give a frick.
More games should use real biblical entities, if not for that SMT never would have been popular.
Square Enix made a lot of classics but a lot of what they make now is awful
Bandai Namco releases so much licensed shovelware but the few good games they do release redeem them
Atlus are mostly love them or hate them. I'm kind of ambivalent on them but I enjoy some of their Franchises like Etrian Odyssey.
Falcom never made a game that was more than a 7/10 at most. Why are they even here?
>veddit has not played the naptishim trilogy
sasuga
I've played quite a few of Falcom's games. None of them are above a 7/10. Most of them are a 6.
Felghana is a 9.
No one cares about your mediocre music. Falcomgays think Falcom are the only JRPGs with music in them.
Felghana is a 9.
Falcom, the fact that wasn't immediately obvious proves how far Ganker has fallen
it's between atlus and squeenix. as much as I like dragon quest, I can't fricking stand them as a company.
Square. Bandai at least has Pac Man
Square made The World ends with you and its sequel not to mention KH 1 and 2, this alone is more important than any game the other 3 made, Bandai Namco wouldn't be missed.
I like Klonoa, Final Fantasy and SMT.
Falcom it is.
>just mentioning falcom makes tourists instantly reach for their pills
holy based
Until the election tourists rolled in nobody was even willing to talk about Trails in the Sky. Rean is only a meme because of the tourist my friend.
its more like falcomgays are a joke and they know it so they just spam ironic shitty memes and act moronic on purpose.
it's like that kid who was fat and nobody liked so he made jokes about himself to try and fit in but it just made everyone hate him more. that's falcomgays.
The trails game literally has a lesbian that molests women while the MC sits back and watches like the cuck he is.
Square Enix is the single most important company(ies) for JRPGs, they've had their ups and downs but their importance is paramount
Atlus has been in the industry as long as Square and Enix as the alt JRPG producer and frankly they're the best developer and it's not even close.
Bamco on traditional JRPGs is mostly weak but they're embedded in all sorts of important Japanese games that makes eliminating them equally moronic.
And then there's Falcom, a company that has only ever produced kusoge JRPGs, doesn't make anything else and has no influence on the industry.
Atlus easily, mostly because I've literally never played anything by them at all, ever. If I had I'd probably say Bandai because they've fallen off and series like tales and shit just dont hit right anymore.
Tough call, but I'd get rid of every single one except Square Enix, and only because they helped make Super Mario RPG. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are trash.
Atlus or Square Enix if SquareSoft games still existed.
Falcom easily.
Why on earth would I want to get rid of any?
Is someone putting a gun to my head deleting any has no advantage for me.
this is like asking whether I would like to remove from my life either food, shelter, safety or 1 chair. what a stupid fricking image.
It's not on this list but I would like to utterly destroy Koei Tecmo for ruining atelier and Gust.
If we are talking about Japanese devs sure.
If we are being universal, 343 would be the objectively correct answer.
I like Tekken
I like Dragon Quest
I like Trails
So Atlus.
falcom belong with like gust and idea factory not square enix and atlus lol
>SquareEnix
That's a two for one.
Bamco easily, Fromsoft are their own publisher in Japan.
Can you split squaresoft and enix up?
Axe squaresoft and just let enix die from bankruptcy would be the optimal solution. Squaresoft never made anything meaningful.
I disagree
First two shouldn't even be in question.
Falcom easily.
I would say square but i don’t know who falcom is so they can go instead
Falcom easily.
Koei Temco
if i get rid of falcom do i lose all the music
if so, im sorry to my tacticsbros, but squares gotta go
Flip a coin between Atlus and Falcom. Neither company have left any impact on video games and just make softcore pornography for losers.
the nuGanker in this thread is so palpable you can feel it
Anyone saying Falcom is a zoomer who doesn't know they shaped the history of JRPGs, and would cause every other JRPG in existence to disappear if they got chosen.
Sad day to see how many braindead morons are on this board, but then again I guess the normalgay infestation can instantly recognizes the other 3 for Souls, FF and Persona.
>they shaped the history of JRPGs
That was Ultima and Wizardry. The only effect they has was some ARPGs.
Very true.
Wizardry was surprisingly popular in Japan.
>Anyone saying Falcom is a zoomer who doesn't know they shaped the history of JRPGs, and would cause every other JRPG in existence to disappear if they got chosen.
Anyone saying this is a moronic weeb who pretends to know a lot about Japanese media but actually has no idea what the frick they're talking about.
the systems of ys/Xanadu didn't shape anything, ys itself dropped its core mechanics and adopted other action rpg styles instead. kiseki was the one that got influenced by landmark jrpgs (xenogears/suikoden), not the other way around.
I don't care about JRPGs.
I just picked via quality of games.
Square Enix has the lowest quality by far.
Falcom has the highest quality by far.
Don't let the tears of the Falcomcucks above hit ya
Falcom is the obvious choice and I even like them. Every other company there has at least one game/series that's still good in the modern era. Ys is waning in quality every entry and Kiseki has been terrible since Coldsteel.
Falcom. I hate modern SE but deleting their older stuff is too much, no fricking way
SE aside from nier has no value lmao
2b troons are never getting another game
It's funny when they think their "series" matters.
Nobody cares about Replic**t, if anyone is talking Nier they meant Automata.
Honestly, nothing wrong with liking Falcom. But you guys need to stop pretending they were ever influential in the industry.
>Honestly, nothing wrong with liking Falcom
Have you played any game from them after Felgahana? Shovelware after shovelware.
falcomgays think that because they made a game that was one of the first in 1984 that everything that ever made is influential even though nobody played that game and everything they made after that was wholely irrelevant to the history of jrpgs
ys is almost 40 years old and pretty much nobody has even heard of it that's how utterly irrelevent they are. falcomgays also jerk off all the music but when all that jrpg music was played at the tokyo olympics not a single falcom track was selected.
little zoomie doesn't know any fricking better, does he?
You can't even reply to me directly. You have no business calling anyone "little", fricking coward.
>noooo nooo i was keeping this tab open to know if someone replied to me you HAVE to (You) me or i wont immediately know i got today's dose of attention!!!
Banmco/SE have too many important titles under their belt (especially premergers) to even consider it.
Falcom is mostly a developer and rarely publishes other companies games, and also a PC/Windows developer and probably one of the few japanese companies that actually do PC games at a none-trash quality.
Atlus has never made anything unique or special, SMT is probably the only thing but even that's just a generic RPG series with demons at the end of the day. Same with Persona, despite in fact getting rid of persona is a plus. I'd miss the actual good shit they had a hand in developing and publishing.
If it only nukes every game they developed (and not published) Atlus is the easiest one to axe. They have never made anything meaningful. At least Falcom makes PC games in a PC-game starved JP environment. Atlus just releases games other companies do better.
Falcom hasn't been a PC developer in fricking ages
Almost all their games still get released on PC. They are just multiplat now for more money
square enix have never made a good non-movie game
>Falcomgays are afraid of literally anybody that makes fun of their shit
Falcom easy. Hated every game by them I've ever tried.
I choose all 4
I'd remove Fatlus
Falcom obviously
Square Enix. That would only eliminate all of the games after their merger, so Square and Enix' separate impacts on the industry would still be in-tact.
On that note, Final Fantasy X was still under Squaresoft's name when it initially released. It's the last "good" mainline FF game in my opinion, even if many (including myself) see it as the beginning of the downfall of the series.
If that's the rules then I change my answer
and kill SE instead
Uhhh probably Falcon
so, are we talking about square enix as an entity or do we count squaresoft and enix by themselves as well
If you're solely talking about games those companies have developed internally then it would be Square without hesitation, as they have never made a single great game in their entire history. If we're including all of their published games as well then Square would have to survive due to Dragon Quest, and Falcom would be axed instead.
Falcom, Ys will never be good again. It's Trails all the way down now.
Scamco. I like the concepot of Xenoverse but I will sacrifice it for good single player non MTX and DLC riddled DB games again.
And wouldn't mind good ones from other series EAnime is license hoarding as well.
Falcom. I never paid attention to any of their games and just found out from this post this is what they're called.
>ITT: falcom gays COPING
the frick is falcom
The only one who still consistently makes games worth playing.
No one mentioned The Behemoth.
I like SMT but Fatlus gave up on it so they can go. Falcom at least hits mediocrity with Ys every time, Fatlus is all bad.
I'll get rid of Atlus so I make persona first.
Killing fatlus eliminates a large chunk of ironic weebs.
Atlus
Who gives a frick about Falcom? And no Falcomgays don't count they're not people.
Square Enix definitely
i unironically cant believe there are homosexuals that love Slop Fantasy
Atlus has never produced a SINGLE good game in decades while Falcom has made Gurumin, a very fun game.
So overall, Atlus should be erased.
I like Ys so I'd have to go with Atlus. They've never made a game with good gameplay
Falcom easily with Atlus being a close second.
Bamco and Squeenix have contributed a lot of good things to the industry.
It's funny how doing this with Japanese devs I have an extremely hard time choosing, but with western devs I can choose almost instantaneously.
How is this even a discussion? Definitely Falcom. They do jack shit.
They make actual decent games unlike Atlus
Atlus. I don’t care about Persona or Etrian Odyssey. It would suck to not have mainline SMT but Atlus is still the overall weakest one here
shitlus and it's not even close
Falcom because I love SMT
Square Enix
Most of their best work happened before the merger and maybe square makes a sequel to Einhander
Either Bamco or Squenix, easy
Never played a Falcom game so maybe that.
But if I wanted to put a company out of their misery because they are in such a sad state now, it would be Square Enix.
Can I kill just Square and leave Enix stuff?
SMTIV is one of my favorite games of all time but the world would genuinely be a better place if Katsura Hashino never got into game development.
It's Atlus.
Atlus, because although I really love Etrian Odyssey, I like Kiseki more, and personagays make me fricking sick to my stomach
all of them and can I get some more
Part of me really wants to get rid of Falcom mainly because I can't stand what they've been making for the past decade considering my introduction to them were the Brandish games and Xanadu Next.
Obviously the company that never released a single good game and has unbearable homosexuals as fans, Atlus.
13 sentinels was good. Oh wait that wasn't shatlus
all of them
Falcom. 90% of their games are garbage. I don't know how they have not gone out of business yet.
they have a small but loyal army of cultists that buy their yearly slop and act like they're masterpieces
Probably already been answered, but does Square Enix count as Squaresoft. Because my first jrpg was ff3(6) in 3rd grade. And my friends and I were obsessed with Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore in grade school. Long live Squaresoft
either falcom or squeenix
I have no fricking idea who falcom even is or what kinda games they make
that being said, my vote goes to square enix, GOODBYE YOU BAFOONS MWAHAHAHAHA
FRICK SQUARE ENIX
Square Enix
Falcom. I will miss old Kiseki and Ys but nowadays they only make trash.
Falcom
Atlus.
>No more Shit Megami
>No more gaysona
>No more Pokemon too because Gamefreak can't copy MT2's mechanics
I would miss Catherine since it's a fun puzzle game but that's it.
Killing Atlus would also kill Soulshit btw because Demon's Souls would never be sold to the west. World gains too much with killing off Atlus.
Namco JRPGs are the most meh. Sadly Tekken has to go.
Squeenix. Only game I'd miss is TWEWY even if it's one of my all-time favorites.
I've never played a Falcom game so easy choice.
>The amount of shiteaters that say falcom
No wonder this place frickin' sucks.
Square (but not Enix)
>Squeenix: The TWEWY duology, KH1 and KH2, Valkyrie Profile, Parasite Eve, Strangers of Paradise
>Atlus: Radiant Historia, Devil Survivor, Digital Devil Saga, Strange Journey, Etrian Odyssey
>Bamco: Tales (the good ones at least), Soul Calibur, Tekken
>Falcom: Ys
Like a lot of these franchises/sub-series but overall, I would cut out Falcom as the weakest link
All the good Squeenix games are from before the merger, so if killing Squeenix preserves everything Squaresoft and everything Enix I'll gladly get rid of them.
Falcon. Despite Ganker's justifiable attitude towards the other 3 in modern times I sure as shit don't want any of their golden era games to be erased.
>falcomBlack folk actually think their fantasy bumper cars inspired RPGs
Sad!
I don't give a shit about both Fatlus and SE, but SE made some pretty good games in the past like Parasite Eve. Meanwhile Fatlus just made bargain bin dungeon crawlers and dating sims for people who hate dating sims. Oh and Catherine I guess.
Falcom.
No questions asked. As much as I like their games they haven't had an impact or have anything worth saving over the other two.
Squeenix, easiest choice of my life. They have never developed or published a single good game.
and absolutely nothing of value was lost
Bandai is a cursed alien company and cannot possibly be eliminated
Everyone except BN can go, I don't like any of their shit.
What games does BAMCO actually develop?
Easiest removal ever
Digimon
Gundam
Almost every anime based game
Katamari
Taiko no Tatsujin
Tekken
Ace Combat
Soul Calibur
Klonoa
And I assume published games go too so most Souls games.
Also if they go their toy and anime production goes too.
it says developer not publishing
>Digimon
>Gundam
>Almost every anime based game
>Katamari
>Taiko no Tatsujin
>Tekken
>Ace Combat
>Soul Calibur
>Klonoa
None of these are good
Better than any falcom game.
Not really
Yes really. More variety too.
You could take falcom out and nothing would change.
Nah
Fatlus
Persona ruined an entire generation of JRPG
I'd say falcom but ys I and II were fricking based so don't know. guess all 4 deserve to live.
>Ganker
>I hate remakes!
>also Ganker
>boy I sure do love Falcom and their 20 remakes of Ys!
Square enix since it doesn't impact either Squaresoft or CBU3.
a lot of old gays are still there. if you eliminate nomura alone that fricks up the whole squaresoft timeline as well.
all of them because i don't play any of their games
Falcom, easy
Their games look like shit, have generic anime tropes, the world wouldn't be any different without them.
>generic
Falcom, I mean what games did they made?
SE made flopspoken so they have to go. I don't make the rules
Persona is trash, but SMT is good
FF is pretty good too
Bamco had some game alright
Falcom? This shit is literal Japanese goyslop
>you gotta eliminate one
More like you gotta save one. Literally only Namco matters
>S-E has the godly PSX-era games
>Bamco has the PSX Namco Museum games which are unironic kino
>Fatlus has...
>Falcom has nothing but incredibly bland JRPGs, but gets credit for laying the ARPG foundation
Fatlus it is. Never cared for SMT nor Purse Owner anyway.
>filtered
Atlus easily
SMT is okay but not really that good. Persona is just gay.
Bamco has Ace Combat
Square Enix is shit but the SquareSoft era games are good.
Falcom is GOAT.
The scary thing is that someone likes Falcom unironically
I greatly enjoyed the sky trilogy and early Ys games. Nothing after that admittedly
>nu-Ganker would unironically save scamco and israeliteenix over falcom
this board has fallen to normalgays
what a disgrace
Atlus is the one that make sense the most even if I really like a few of their games.
Bamco, on the other hand, would eliminate so much good shit its insane
Falcom, Ys and Trails haven't been that good in a long time and the others have made much more timeless classics overall.
the frick did falcom even make
>Reangays absolutely seething ITT
Go back to your garbage bin containment board
Fatlus did too much harm to ever not be the right answer
??????????????????
>made some of the most acclaimed JRPGs ever made
>"but I hate heckin personarino because is popular"
Just have a nice day
SE might be shit today but we can’t erase their history, so I go with Bandai Namco, we lose Pacman but I think it’s worth it considering we get rid of all licensed anime shovelware
You also lose all of Bamco's other games and the licenced anime shovelware will still exist because Sega usually does those.
GundamVs is the best arena fighter ever made.
Falcom Ys was never good. Trails never peaked my interest.
Bye SQEX.
I was about to say Bamco but I really like Pirate Warriors 3 so Falcom it is. I can live without Ys.
Square Enix, easy. 99% of good games from them were as Squaresoft.
i don't understand the appeal of Falcom. Ys is a terrible series and especially the more modern games are some of the most badly designed action rpgs on the market. Trails is like everything people hate about JRPGs in one series. Tokyo Xanadu I think might actually be one of the worst games i've ever played. Zwei and Gurumin are just baby shit. The rest of their games aren't even in English and they probably are just as forgettable.
Atlus.
Fatlus
Square Enix is the only right answer.
Falcom of cou-
Eliminate square enix and bamco
Nothing good came after the mergers they can easily disappear.
I choose Namco since they're the only company where erasing it wouldn't wouldn't impact Undertale's existence.
Still need Brandish, Dragon Quest and SMT to continue existing.
Black person without namco the famicom gets no third party support at all and mother never comes out at all
i bet you're a chara genocideBlack person too
>Black person without namco the famicom gets no third party support at all and mother never comes out at all
If you we go by that anon
, then their games before their merger would remain
>i bet you're a chara genocideBlack person too
I don't know what you're saying but I'm gonna say no
then why not delete squeenix? you're deleting nothing of worth, i doubt toby took anything from post merger (2003 onwards) squeenix slop like modern final fantasy or call of duty tier dragon quest either and overall bamco still released a few good games right after the merger
>i doubt toby took anything from post merger (2003 onwards) squeenix slop
wow cool music! too bad its wasted on a fricking boring dogshit hallway simulator
Pac Man not existing would impact Napstablook's existence.
anyone who picks bamco is literally fricking moronic
>every single game they've ever made goes with them
good job morons you just killed
>the arcade industry circa 1980
>the famicom and probably nintendo itself (namco was the first and one of nintendo's most important third parties)
>polygonal 3d games (one of the two mayor innovators in this regard alongside sega)
>sony (arguably a good thing but namco was their earliest and one of their most important third parties during the ps1 era and they also made the ps1 piss easy to develop for with their sdk vs the saturn because otherwise it was just as much of a mess as it)
bamco might be shit now but if you delete them you delete videogames
>Bandai Namco Entertainment was formed on 31 March 2006
moron
wow so it only magically deletes their post merger output? does that mean deleting squeenix only deletes their post merger garbagefire output too? that means squeenix is the clearest, most obvious choice because they've released literally nothing of worth since the merger
sega maybe but you'd still be setting the games industry a decade or so back since a lot of sega's advancements in arcades came from their competition with namco
nintendo on the other hand is mostly fricking irrelevant without the famicom
Someone will take their place
Perhaps Nintendo or Sega
If we delete Square Enix, does that include Square and Enix pre merge?
Falcom
>Squeenix has a metric frickton of JRPGs
>Bamco makes a whole lot of everything in any genre
>Atlus does a lot of first person dungeon crawlers, which are fun but I prefer other stuff
>Falcom music is kino
goodbye Atlus
I've never played a single game made by these 4.
Falcom, Atlus and Square Enix could all vanish and it would literally affect nothing other than a bunch of low IQ weebs with 0 standards becoming sad.
smt is boring
persona is for crunchyroll homosexuals
atlus has one, yes ONE good series and it's snowboard kids
If made means "developed" and not "published" it's an easy bamco
namco as a high quality in house developer was still active after the merger
Square enix because they've never made anything good. Just shit morons played as kids which caused synapses to form making morons obsessed with them like kids who get weird fetishes like being a furry from watching kid cartoons.
if i shoot square enix do i lose xenogears
its post merger squeenix, xenogears predates the merger
yeah i was just wondering if pre-merger stuff is lost
seems like it isn't, so i'll go with SE
Falcom and it's not even a contest, everyone else is far too influential to gayming history
Altus.
Falcom or squeenix because I've never cared about a game they've made. Well, I liked stranger of paradise, so I'd pick Falcom because I don't play Yshit
Namco
despite the fact that I've never played a falcom game I'd still pick SE
>ueghhh if you le delete falcom then the games inspired by the games they made wouldn't exist.
No, they would exist. OP doesn't say that everything they inspired would be deleted too.
Also, it doesn't say it rewrites history to make those never exist either. It just deletes them. Like basically all copies and the source code of all their games disappear and they're no longer registered as a company and no one has jobs anymore.
i fricking hate attorneys
in 2023? all of them
Can I delete Square but keep Enix
>Beauty's Blade
I pick Falcom, Erasure would be a mercy, unmolested by Nisa's spiteful fanfic.
