That is very true. But Deus Ex is coming out soon and that should make them profitable for the next million years.Quote:

I doubt it's gonna sell more than FF13 anyway.
Yeah, but only once. Look where the merger with Enix took us, we now have X-2, XI, XII, and XI-2- I mean XIV (and for some people XIII), not to mention all the side games that have come out. They are progressively getting :bou::bou::bou::bou:tier! I blame Enix.Quote:

Incidentally, I have heard fans of Enix games say that Enix games feel differently since the merger with Squaresoft, too. I wonder if it is mere nostalgia or a trend indicative of video game development in the East?Quote:

Square & Enix made Chrono Trigger, which is awesome.
They did Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile and I think Grandia Xtreme. I'm sure there's a lot more but those were the only games I was ever interested in.Quote:

Even the Dragon Quest games are technically put together by outfits like Chunsoft, ArtePiazza, and Level-5.
They totally made Lolita Syndrome, though.
Nah, Any company that can survive beheading Sakaguchi, Uematsu, Kato, Matsuno and takahashi clearly has had Re-raise cast on them since 2003.Quote:
A bankruptcy scare might just be what they need. I mean it worked for them once before, right?
which game are you talking about ?Quote:

Enix hires developers for Dragon Quest, which they over see, and only publishes IPs for independent development studios like tri-Ace, Quintet and Chunsoft. In SQEX age, "Square side" and "Enix side" are nonsense labels. Enix never even had any developers.Quote:
