I believe you are right, but...
For the 1st game: "The game's English release in August 1994 was a joint effort between Capcom USA and Square Soft, who handled most of the title's localization and promotion in North America due to Capcom's lack of experience with text-heavy role-playing games. Square Soft would feature the game in the fourth issue of its North American newsletter, The Ogopogo Examiner, and would advertise the game as being "from the makers of the Final Fantasy series.""

For the 2nd game: "Unlike the original Breath of Fire, which was licensed to Square Soft for its North American release, the English version of Breath of Fire II was localized and published entirely by Capcom USA."

I know that 7 is highly rated, but I've tried three version of it and could never get into it. I think this is in part due to the low polygon shapes and more so due to the cinematic style. I recall on at least two occasions being bored by the Square/FF videos at E3. I know I may be in the minority, but I prefer games that I can play, instead of simply watch and/or read.

Anyone care to PM me any newer SNES style jRPG games I might enjoy?
