Enix was one of the best companies on SNES. They didn't make a lot of games, but almost all they made were great! Here's a look at US released Enix game on Super Nintendo.

Shame on Nintendo that they didn't release Terranigma for the US market and shame on them that they didn't release Mario RPG in Europe. And again shame on Nintendo for not releasing such good games like Star Fox 2 due to N64.

The 7th Saga is a pretty good game, the problem is that it's got a serious, nearly game breaking bug in its brutally unfair difficulty. When you are higher levels and the story starts getting interesting is when every bad guy seems to be just totally superseding you in power and the computer has stupidly unfair moves like Elixer that it throws out with reckless abandon. If you haven't played this before and you want to play this game, I highly recommend a rom hack to normalize the difficulty. Play vanilla after you've actually had a chance to enjoy the game.

The SNES Dragon Quest games not coming out in English is one of the worst things that ever happened in gaming. They were absolutely great games, I still loved them on emulators and DS, but if we had gotten them back then? Just play the intro to DQVI and look at the graphics, it’s amazing. The stories were a step above the FF series at the time also, imo.

I played many of these games back in the day throughout late elementary school, junior high, and high school. Actraiser, Soulblazer, Robotrek, and 7th Saga were among my favorite owned games (I repeatedly completed the first two, but 7th Saga eludes me still). I also borrowed and played E.V.O., Brain Lord, and Ogre Battle all the time from my father's girlfriend at the time (who was as avid a gamer as I was). The majority of the remaining games were rented at least a couple of times from Blockbuster. Man, Enix and Squaresoft had such awesome libraries before the "Great" merge. Great memories, though. :)

So good to hear someone talking about a lot of these, especially someone who can do them justice. I don't think I've ever seen anyone be so kind to Actraiser 2, which had a good thematic idea with The Master grappling with the 7 sins, and they should've done more with that; keeping the Simulation elements would've been perfect for that, I think. EVO was an excellent idea, even if its soundtrack was half lazy and half repackaged Dragon Warrior music; I've beaten it with the human, primate, bird, and even dinosaur, and while I haven't seen different endings, I am curious about how to fill out the final chapter's map. Best I can get most of the time is 24/27, but I've seen a point on the map that leads you almost right to the final boss, like Back Door in Super Mario World; I bought mine from Blockbuster, so I don't know how it was unlocked by whoever had it before me. Paladin's Quest was really cool; everything's weird, even the treasure chests, and it's a shame that we never got the sequel, and that the third and final entry never came to be. I'd never really thought of it like an evolution of the Master System, but you are TOTALLY on point with that; it's like the unholy union of Phantasy Star and... I don't know Aztec Adventure? The overworld battle music is also the most Saturday-morning-cartoon-ass thing I've ever heard in a video game; the rest of it's really good, too. Soul Blazer is another favorite of mine; it got a lot of flak back in the day, because it was billed as an Actraiser sequel, even though it just takes place in the same universe. I loved how most NPCs eschewed the usual "Welcome to Corneria!" banalities in favor of weird little bits of philosophy; everyone had something insightful to say, and even when it was complete nonsense, it was something that was interesting to think about.

One thing that always struck me about Enix (in the vein of your comment about Soul Blazer/Actraiser), is you could always kind of tell an Enix game was an Enix game with your eyes closed. They used a "sound palette" that was very distinctive. A lot of those sounds ended up in the other "Quintet" games as well. That bass-heavy explosion-y noise will always make me think of Illusion of Gaia, for example.

Huge disappointment to be at the time. Enix blamed "programming issues" in their Warrior World newsletter, which I think either meant the English text wouldn't fit on the screen or in the size cartridge they planned to use. Finally rectified this and played through it in Japanese this year- wonderful game in terms of story, though takes no advantage of the SNES hardware.

Fantastic video man! I've only delved into ActRaiser and Soul Blazer (both wonderful games for sure) so it was nice to see how Enix's other games stack up. Illusion of Gaia is a game that feels so much like an Enix game but since Nintendo of America released it, I can understand why it wasn't on this list. I know that we didn't get it in the US during the SNES era but definitely play Dragon Quest V for the Nintendo DS if you enjoy the Dragon Quest series. I loved DQ5 and it's a real shame that we didn't get the game until 2010-ish.

It does feel like flipping a coin each playthrough. You can break it from grinding too much or having a rune in the hand of the wrong apprentice.

I loved the town building in actraiser. That was my favorite part and maxing them all out. Pant 2 was blah. 7th saga was long and holy grinding batman. I got to the last boss and beat it once and it took forever.

I feel like 7th Saga and Soul Blazer are two of the most underrated games on the SNES, even with 7th Saga's rather broken difficulty curve.. I absolutely played the heck out of both of them as a kid, and I still like to play a quick run through of Soul Blazer every couple years or so. Great tier list!

@@derek-64 you kind of have to cheese the bosses with the star fall magic and it's not that bad. If you can remember where all of the health apples are along the way, memorize boss patterns, and save all your magic for the bosses, the actual game isn't that bad. That being said, the very end is an absolute nightmare. You have to fight ALL of the bosses, plus the final one back to back. It's pretty rough. It requires pattern memorization nearly flawlessly.

Have you ever finished Actraiser 2? I got hung up on the final boss, and I'm not sure if I ever went to back to it. EVO is great - it's a little grind heavy, but that's the point. It's honestly a little bit like Dark Souls. I've definitely beaten it as a human, and as a monster abomination that looked kinda like a rhinoceros. Can you really beat it as a bird? Has anyone out there done it?

Omg threw me for a loop when the video was finished.. BUT WAIT THERES MORE! then I saw the description relating "us-released" and insert the sounds of defeat from dragon quest here. Soul blazer was a part of a series we didn't get all of!!! If you don't flip this coin would you ever go through the ages old translation pack on the web and rate those games? Sounds like a fun time with some mondo variety in that pack but I swear half of that thing is enix and square!!!
