Square Enix - does this bug anyone else?

[Yuffie514]

SquareSoft sounds like a better name , but what the heck . i like all the FF games and some of the other games Square-Enix came out with . without this merger, some things we like wouldn't even be possible .

I think Dragon Warrior WAS the first RPG on NES. It certainly isn't the greatest game ever but it was quite fun and what got me into the games. Of course Final Fantasy was so much better.

Before they were "Squaresoft", they were just called "Square" look at the cart for FF1 or FF2/4j. They just say "Square"

I think there was actually two back then: Square and Squaresoft. One was the developer and the other was the publisher.

Shoot me if i'm wrong, but unless i'm mistaken Square was the parent company, game creation et cetera, and Squaresoft was the American branch used to release US versions of games only. make sense? anyone? ... *shrugs*



"We already talked about this, man. In this business you hafta expect innocent loses. They're called 'casualties of war'."
"Don't treat this like it's some trivial matter!!"

The American branch of Square was called, unsurprisingly, Square of America.

What's wrong with two videogame empires merging?

Square made many great games. Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Rad Racer, and 3D Worldrunner to name a few.

Enix had their share of success with such games as Actraiser, Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia, Mischief Makers, and Dragon Warrior.

If anything, this can be considered a good thing.

B*tch, you forgot the 7th Saga. Best Enix game ever.
