What do you mean both companies would have been dead right now? I thought they were in an excellent financial state. After FF: TSW, Sony had invested at least $125,000,000 on Square's stocks and FFX had sold over 5 million copies. Each copy costs about $60-70, so that's over $300,000,000 of profit. For Enix, I'd say their economy was also pretty good seeing as they could afford to buy Squaresoft.

Anyway, I think this merger is a good idea. Two Japanese RPG giant companies joining to make excellent games. Chrono Trigger was an excellent example of how these two can make great games together.
