Squre-Soft/Square-Enix

[DJZen]

If only... The two sides of the company don't really work together on anything. Such a pity.

Square-Enix is a merger name of both highly popular game development companies. They merged the names along with the companies. Keeping the Square part will keep Square-Soft fans and same with Enix. If the name was changed to dramatically fan base would shrivel. But keeping the two names keeps a majority of each companies fan base. Mostly a marketing strategy.

But if anything, "Square-Enix" is gay. Or at least, gayish. You have to admit that.

What the heck

That's the one thing that was missing from FF1. A spell called "Hurt", and the more powerful version, "Hurtmore".

I kid. I love Dragon Warrior. Just not as much as FF1.

What the heck

I think the name "Square-Enix" sounds stupid. It's like "AOL Time Warner". Honestly, I don't think Enix was a powerhouse of game developing. I only played their Dragon Warrior games, and I think they made Terranigma, which was really good. But Square made many awesome games, and not just the FF games. The SaGa series, the Seiken Desnetsu series, Einhander, and of course, RAD RACER. In my view, Enix doesn't stack up. I know they're still two seperate companies and all that, but the name just doesn't sound as cool as "Square" or "Squaresoft". Plus, they took the little red triangle out of the "A" when they put "Enix" on it. And I really liked that triangle.

[Vivisteiner]

Your right. Square-Enix doesnt sound very good. They really should have called it Squeenix.

Yeah. I heard that before. Anyone know why? Seems like a bit of a waste.

Enix wasn't terrribly popular in the US, but it dominated Square in Japan.
