The "Creativity" Award - Square Enix
Category: Features, Posted: 07/08/2008 at 09:55PM EDT by You Win!, GamerNode Staff
Today's award goes out to a publisher/developer who has mananged to win the hearts of vast throngs of gamers over the years. The combined force of Square Enix has created many popular games and franchises, from Final Fantasy to Dragon Quest to what has been called the greatest RPG of all time, Chrono Trigger.
Now Chrono Trigger is back, and will be hitting the Nintendo DS this winter. That's great news, except for the fact that Square Enix won't be giving it the same treatment as games like Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 6, which both received major graphical overhauls for their respective ports.
One would expect that the return of the first ever collaborative effort between members of SquareSoft and Enix Corporation (befor they were a single entity, mind you) would be worthy of some extra bells and whistles, no?
For the lack of that extra effort that Square Enix fans had been hoping for, the RPG giant has earned the GN "Creativity" Award.

Did I read that right? "For the LACK OF THAT EXTRA EFFORT that Square Enix fans had been hoping for, the RPG giant has earned the GN "Creativity" Award?"
I believe it's called sarcasm.
square enix keep up the good work
final fantasy 13 here I come
optimal creativity can only be reached upon the 14h sequel. I'm going to sit FFXIII out...
Is it 14? I always heard 16.
ty whoever it was who deleted my post because i said that half of GNs staff are SE fanboys
