Atlus > Square. The end.
Star Ocean is a Tri-Ace game, which has only seen American consoles in the form of Enix translations.
Nippon Ichi is the maker, developer, and publisher of Disgaea after Atlus U.S.A. failed to meet demand on Disgaea: Hour of Darkness in 2003, causing the price of the game to rise to a meteoric $180 on the open market.
Brigadine is a Hearty Developer game.
You missed the boat on Atlus U.S.A. on next-gen consoles, with Operation Darkness, Baroque, and Spectral Force 3 already ported.
Aren't the Disgaea games actually Nippon Ichi?
Regardless, only one thing matters...Brigandine really is that effing amazing. Best turn-based strategy RPG ever.
Atlus vs. SquareEnix? That's a no brainer. Atlus.
Atlus vs. Square? Well that's something entirely different...
Square sucks shit and has always sucked shit. They randomly made a few good games like Saga Frontier and Romancing SaGa, but it doesn't make up for the rest of their trash.
Enix usually made shit too. Tri-Ace was their only good subsidiary, until Square got their hands on them too.
Atlus used to suck shit but now they are fucking awesome.
Atlus wins. Always and forever.
And yes, Atlus has had nothing to do with the Makai games after they published Disgaea that first time. Nippon Ichi Software America(NISA) has handled all the games since Phantom Brave. Although, it's worth noting that they're very close with Atlus and they sometimes do printing deals where Atlus handles some of the print load for their games.
Its all Japanese role playing games to me.
lol... SaGa Frontier was one of the worst games I've ever played.
Atlus, forever and ever, amen
Atlus > SquareEnix
@Tim - Nail on the head. Atlus totally beats SquareEnix, but nothing comes close to the old school Squaresoft.
Never played anything from Atlus, and nothing ive heard of appeals to me - im pretty mainstream with my rpg choices. I wans big swords and pretty explosions. So Square wins for me.
@Ajaxender - Play Persona 1, 2, and 3 (in that order) and I can guarantee you'll love it. They are a bit more mature than the usual FF fanfare, but they don't skimp on the awesome.
You may find them quite a bit more challenging though, but they are still traditional RP's (at least Persona 1 and 2 is).

ATLUS 4 LYFE!!!!!
Atlus > All - Valve
Some of those awesome GBA games Atlus released were called Summon Night: Swordcraft Saga. You know, while SE was busy releasing ports of SNES games to bathe in the fanboy dollar.
Another reason to <3 Atlus.
Yeah I think some of the games I mentioned were only published by Atlus my slip up. But Digital Devil Saga was fun also something I forgot to add.
Hey, how bout this: IT DOESN'T MATTER.
It's great that both publishers are still doing there thing in the present day and age. So long as they both keep publishing/developing great games, we all win.
RJG wins.
the problem i notice with atlus is they have such a high volume of product but very few of them sell more than a handful of copies and nothing gets remembered for long.
i find my self sucked in by the cover art and then getting bored of the characters inside.
EDS is right, kids.
Atlus > Square Enix
buuuuut.... Square Soft > Atlus
I don't really think there is even a comparison between classic Square games like Chrono Trigger, FFIV, VI, VII, etc. and the games Atlus makes. Although many of their games are also very good.
Atlus is far more superior than SE. Atlus FTW!!!
(Atlus > Enix) + (Atlus > Square) = Atlus > SE
p.s. Enix > Square
does SquareEnix have Super Robot Wars?
no.
they fail.
Baldur's Gate ftw.
Let's come back and do this in 2009. With two Persona releases, and something almost every other week of the year, they've clearly destroyed 2008.
Historically they've never published anything as good as Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger, so if you're taking that into account it's kind of hard to go with Atlus.
And for the record, this games suck: Kingdom Hearts, SaGa Frontier, Final Fantasy VII.
in this battle, i would say select the lesser of two evils..but they are both horribly wretched companies. i'll just say square/$queenix..becuase i hate how atlus purposely tries to cater to the j-goth/goth demographic.
Why do gamers always have to pick something to hate? *hugs Disgaea and Final Fantasy*
@MCBENNET: WTF are you talking about? J-Goth? Atlus? What?
