1996 was the end of classic Squaresoft. The following year, the company released “Final Fantasy 7,” which changed the face of RPGs, transmuted the audience from nerd niche to mainstream, and changed the way people thought about the genre moving forward. But that’s a problem for tomorrow… right now, it’s 1996, and Squaresoft has just had a fantastic year, releasing half a dozen new RPGs, including both the Nintendo/Square collaboration, “Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars,” and “Chrono Trigger”/ “Chrono Cross” filler episode, “Radical Dreamers.”
What’s that, you say? You don’t remember a whole bunch of Square games coming out in 1996? The fact that you can read this English text obviously means you’re a Westerner… so, yeah, we got screwed.
