I have long been a fan of the Final Fantasy series and after playing Final Fantasy 7 for the first time, I thought Square Enix had no equal as an RPG developer. Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 8 were truly masterpieces as well. However, despite many remarkable achievements, I believe the Final Fantasy series is falling under the shadow of Bioware. In my opinion, Bioware has demonstrated the next evolution of the RPG genre. Every RPG Bioware has made has been state of the art and absolutely magnificent. Bioware has introduced a new breed of RPGs such as KOTOR, Dragon Age Origins, and who could forget: the Mass Effect series. Square Enix needs to revamp the Final Fantasy series if they want to keep up, so far Final Fantasy 13 has been a decent step, but not a solution. Who do you side with, Bioware or Square Enix? Thankfully there is room for both.
