The End of the World is Near -- Enix Merges With Square By Ravi Hiranand and James Mielke November 25, 2002, Gamers.com Enix and Square to merge, form new company -- Square Enix Inc. Japanese RPG giants Enix and Square announced plans on Tuesday to merge operations on April 1st, bringing two of Japan's biggest selling franchises -- Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy -- under one roof: Square Enix Inc. The deal calls for Square to be absorbed into Enix, with 0.81 shares in Enix being traded for each share in Square. The companies said the move was a bid to strengthen profitability amid stiff competition. What this means is that although the company is named Square Enix Inc., the surviving partner is seemingly Enix. How this will affect day to day operations of Square in Japan, or of Square's U.S. subsidiary, Square Electronic Arts, is uncertain, but Yoichi Wada, the president of Square Japan, is posied to helm the new merger. When contacted for confirmation, a Square representative was unable to provide confirmation, stating that details would be released in the morning. Enix U.S. was also unable to offer insight to the groundbreaking deal. What does this mean for the gaming world? It means that the two mightiest RPG powerhouses in the industry are now one, bigger RPG goliath. Dragon Quest VII was the biggest-selling game in Japan in 2001 (over 4 million copies sold), while that Final Fantasy series has been known to move a few units. Pessimists might suggest that anyone else with an RPG on the burner should just pack it in. More intriguingly, where that leaves Nintendo's contribution (in partnership with Square), which rides besides Sony's infusement (into Square), which tickles Electronic Art's distribution agreement (with Square) is anybody's guess. A news conference in Japan is scheduled with an official announcement only a couple hours from now. Stay tuned for more details as we get them.
