Squaresoft was the name of the company before they merged with another gaming company Enix, responsible for games like Dragon Quest/Warrior and Grandia. Squaresoft and Enix merged a few years ago and became Square Enix.

I still say they should have called it Squenix.

Minor correction:

Squaresoft was a game company that merged with Enix to form Square-Enix, much like how the 5 Lions merge to form Voltron, Defender of the Universe. Or, for you less-hip kids, like how the Constructicons merge to form Devastator.

And Enix never needed Square. However, merging increases profits in many cases, as in this one.

Especially for Square, who now get to ride DW's coattails even more. Also, Square-Enix US is the former Squaresoft US, Enix US was axed.

Game Arts makes the Grandia games. Ubi Soft just translated a few of them.

In my opinion, the junction was good. FFTA was made by Square Enix :)

I seem to remember Square had to merge with Enix to survive after the big "The Spirits Within" flop that left it on the verge of bankruptcy. What can you tell me about that? Am I correct?

By the way, to think that Sakaguchi and Uematsu have gone away, I'm of the same opinion.

Square didn't need the merger to survive, but it certainly helped their situation.

Yes, that is correct and I couldnt agree more when it comes to the departure of Sakaguchi and Uematse. SE lost the two best people it has ever had with those two

Actually Enix has made some pretty good games. At least in my opinon. Terranigma is nice. ^_^

Square Enix doesn't work in collaboration on games (at least they mostly don't; haven't heard of case in which they have). They're partners in name, Square sticks to Square stuff and Enix sticks to Enix stuff. It's just that now, they share in the profits.

How'd this thread turn into a discussion of how well Square or Enix would have done if they didn't merge. Thread posed a question, and it was answered. :/

It happened because people like to debate about random things. ^_^ I wanted to debate about Chrono Trigger, but someone beat me to the Off-Topic rights. >_<

Edit: I corrected my English a bit.
