Square Enix?

Why did they change the name from DragonQuest to Dragon Warrior for the games that were released in the U.S. and other places.

[Zeromus_X]

Because back then there was another (relatively lesser known) RPG also named Dragon Quest, and thus, they don't want to do copyright infringement. Now they can use the name 'Dragon Quest' since that series isn't around anymore. You can find more info on that in Wikipedia.

Squaresoft and Enix joined together. And I think Square-Enix sounds like an awesome name!

[NeoCracker]

I just call it square either way.

Unfortunately, "squeenix" is the wrong pronunciation.

I just realized that Enix doesnt make too many games in house besides Dragon Quest.

Grandia, Radiata Stories, Star Ocean, Drakengard, Valkyrie Profile, Soul Blazer series, etc, were all made by outside companies. Enix just produced them.

Enix never made games in house, even DQ is always outsourced. The only person from Enix that works on them everytime is Yuji Horii. Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama always work on DQ as well but they are not part of Enix. Chunsoft, Heartbeat, and Level 5 made the DQ games. TOSE made the spin-offs and did the GBC ports. I can't remember who did the other ports, but either way Enix didn't do anything internally. Enix always was a publisher, not a developer.

There were some Enix employees that stayed on every Dragon Quest other than the ones you mentioned. They had a few supervisors that helped Yuji Horii make sure the game turned out the way it was supposed to. Yuji Horii also did A LOT of work making sure the storylines were right and making the game flow script wise. Yuji Horii was a GIGANTIC part of the Dragon Quest series.

Ok but on some of the FFX cases is says Square enis and on other ones it says sqaure soft!! SO WHO MADE THAT GAME?!?!?!

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Square made it. FFX was developed well before the merger occurred in 2003, and even if it had been made afterwards, the Square side of the company still handles all the games in the Final Fantasy series, just as the Enix side still handles Dragon Quest.
