    Default Squre-Soft/Square-Enix

    How come Square-Soft changed it's name to Square-Enix? I heard the manager of it all was changed or something. True or not?
    The below sentence is true.

    No, they incorporated the name of their lead competitor into their own name out of spite.

    I fail to see how a sexual preference and a word can be compared. Squaresoft sounded miles better anyway, in my opinion, but shouldn't this be in general gaming?

    Squaresoft was simpling the NA localization subsidiary's name. In Japan, Square was always known as just Square. Until the merger, that is.

    Because Squaresoft and Enix merged. The development teams within Square-Enix are still independent of each others.

    Squaresoft is about ten millions times cooler than Square-Enix. Prior to having "Squaresoft" at the beginning of their games, they'd just have "Square", which I thought was neat.

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

    I don't find the name 'Square-Enix' homosexual in the slightest.

    Anyway, their logo is neat.

    Have to agree with Zeromus_X there. Sure SquareSoft made some great stuff, but by adaptign Enix with it, it opened the door for much more opportunities to make great games.

    Also,

    Square soft created the awesome Final Fanatasy games

    Enix created the awesome Dragon Quest games.

    Together Squeenix will create even better games.
