    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.

    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
    Organized people are just to lazy to look for things.
