Square to Square Enix

[I MIC MUFFIN I]

Remember the old days (most of you are new gamers so you wouldn't remember... but)
When there was no square enix there was just enix and square they made the ORIGINAL FINAL FANTASY (woo go go no si-fi)
and you had no real fan base.Ah the old days.... emo


The reason we have final fantasy today:

"Final Fantasy was developed during Square's brush with bankruptcy in 1987, and in a display of gallows humor, director Hironobu Sakaguchi declared that his "final" game would be a "fantasy" role-playing game; hence the title. When Sakaguchi was asked what type of game he wanted to make, he replied "I don't think I have what it takes to make a good action game. I think I'm better at telling a story." Sakaguchi's concept was a game with a large world map to explore and an engaging story. Sakaguchi took an in-development ROM of the game to Japanese magazine Family Computer, but it would not review it. Video game magazine Famitsu, however, gave the game extensive coverage. The development team was composed of seven people, while the other team at Square had about twenty. Sakaguchi stated that if the game did not sell, he would quit making video games and return to college to make up a year. Only 200,000 copies were to be shipped, but Sakaguchi pleaded with the company to make 400,000 to help spawn a sequel, and it agreed."

Oh yea, I'm so happy that Final Fantasy became such a big thing. Square Enix rules my life xD  

[Aeshien]

Enix where the makers of Dragon warrior/Quest right?

I had so much fun with Enix's Games. Even better now that they Joined. OwO (well i reckon ^^)  

[Oblivious Mischief]

IIRC, Final Fantasy was made based on the popular game of that time, Dragon Quest. Funny, how they partly own the company now.

Yes, Square Co. did go by Squaresoft for Final Fantasy 7,8 and 9 as well as other non-Final Fantasy games, but in 2003 they merged with Enix and they then became SquareEnix.

It seems to me that since squaresoft and enix merged that the quality of their games hasn't been the greatest... *cough*the last remnant*cough* however there has been some good ones like FFXIII and Dissidia. Well here's hoping they keep getting better!
