can anyone tell me why Squaresoft changed their name to Square Enix?

Loki: I have an army.
Stark: We have a HULK!
because Squaresoft and Enix became one.
This goes in General Square-Enix, and it's because both companies merged.
what was the Enix company. i never heard of them until i saw the Square Enix logo. what kind of games did Enix make?
Loki: I have an army.
Stark: We have a HULK!
Grandia
Enix is responsible for several extremely popular series, most notably the Dragon Quest series, which has immense popularity in Japan, to the point in which they aren't allowed to release it on school days because students will just stay home and play the game instead of going to school.
They've also made other popular series like the Seiken Densetsu series (Secret of Mana), and the afforementioned Grandia. I think they did SaGa too.
I'm pretty sure they didn't make the secred of mana series, my ROMs have the Squaresoft logo at the title screen.
However, Enix was the distributor of tri-ace games, which includes the Star Ocean series and Valkyrie Profile games, among a few other games.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Not to mention ActRaiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma.
Square is responsible for both SaGa and Seiken Densetsu. And Game Arts are the creators of Grandia.Originally Posted by Behold the Void
Enix is mostly known for Dragon Quest. Their other notable games are generally developed by separate companies whose work they merely publish. Quintet was responsible for the Soul Blazer trilogy, tri-Ace does Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile, etc.
without Square Enix there would be no Drakengard 2 ;_;
Ah, my mistake. And yes, I remember the Soul Blazer games as well.Square is responsible for both SaGa and Seiken Densetsu. And Game Arts are the creators of Grandia.

Just for the sake of (completely anal retentive) accuracy, it's not that they'll stay home to play the games (their parents would probably make them commit seppuku for that), it's that they'll cut school AND work to camp outside stores for the release. When Dragon Quest III came out people were literally mugged for their copies of the game. Remember the Xbox 360 craze? Imagine that only on the scale of a soccer riot, now make it run all across the country. That's what it was like. National productivity actually dips the day of a Dragon Quest release. go here and look under the section titled "overview" for more information on this.
As far as the games Enix has released, look HERE.
And each half works on their own projects.
Just saying.
I knew I was right. Someone a couple of months ago asked if Square had anything to do with Grandia and I said no, it was Game Arts and I was totally ripped into and called! I knew I was right! Take that whoever it was!And Game Arts are the creators of Grandia.
One reason: To be able to say "Squenix". Go on say it, it sounds like square eggs.
There is no signature here. Move along.
