Square Enix Before the Merger - A history of Squaresoft, Enix, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy

Square Enix, Squaresoft, Enix, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy. This names have a long storied history that is sometimes very, very unclear. I'll do my best to demonstrate how I view i've pieced it together. It won't be perfect, but it should at least be informative and interesting. Just a couple notes. For those of you who don't want "The full story" and just bits and pieces here's some time codes. 0:00 - Introduction 1:06 - How Enix started & The birth of Dragon Quest 10:00 - How Squaresoft started & The birth of Final Fantasy 18:31 - Enix struggles and departs from the west. 26:08 - SNES Final Fantasy: critical darling, commercial failure 32:22 - PSX era RPGs profitable. Enix still struggling in the west. 41:42 - Squaresoft gamble ends in failure. Merger with enix begins. Some aspects of this may be dramatized. I'm pretty sure square didn't want to actually kill enix, it's just a fun way to frame corporate competition. That said this is as accurate as I could make the info. Japan has a pretty "Closed door" approach to business so getting the most accurate info is not always easy. Furthermore the further back in history you look the more shaky things become. For instance: 3 trustworthy sources have 3 different stories of how Sugiyama came to join Enix. All 3 say it was the result of a letter he wrote the company, but all 3 say the letter was something different. He was asking about a shogi game/he was filling out a routine questionnaire/He was offering praise for portopia etc etc. So if you heard a different story... well.. there's probably good reason. I also decided to not include Kazuhiko Torishimas account in the creation of dragon quest as it's not very widely corroborated. In short he helped Horii land deals between shonen jump, enix and chunsoft that led to Dragon Quest being created. Some people think this makes him the creator of Dragon Quest. I disagree. I think he was just a good friend/mentor and associate of Horiis and Toriyamas and just wanted good things for them, as well as for the gaming section of weekly jump. Most video footage is used for purely illustrative purposes. This history is muddy to say the least, but this is how I pieced it all together. |------------SOCIALS-------------| Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/...   / discord     / tarksgauntlet   Sources: Unique video sources are cited in video.
