Talk:Square (video game company)

3001:, sorry I forgot to ping you on this. I've counted fourteen (Osaka studio; The NA, Hawaii? and EU branches; both EA-Square collabs; the five subsidiaries like SquareNext and Square Pictures; Digicube; DreamFactory; and Escape of Driving Emotion Type-S 'fame'.) Could be more if we count Aques and Disc Original Group, but they were more labels/collabs than actual subsidiaries. Is that enough for a list? If it were, it might solve the bloat problem (and hopefully the uncited statements, overlong verbiage and bare url problems as well). -- 1212: 1191: 1601:

respectively. Thexder was developed by Game Arts and published by Square for the Famicom, and Dragon Slayer was produced by Falcom but published by Square for the MSX, while the rest were produced and published by Square. Most of these games were released on various Japanese computers (notably the NEC PC-8801 and PC-8901) and never saw light outside of Japan. I have the release months and years if you guys are interested in placing this on the site.

was some religious iconagraphy, and various other things that Nintendo of America didn't want on their system. What you've seen post-SNES from Square is just the exact same style of games they made in Japan, just without any NoA censorship. That's how their games have always been. You just never got to see them in their original, unfiltered form until the PlayStation years.

3195: 255: 1311: 3577:"Reflecting on this period, Sakaguchi noted that Final Fantasy was the company's most recognized property, while celebrating the fact that the company would still be profitable on the merits of their other successful game series." (while the source is from 2001, highlighting that date starts to distract from the clean timeline you have here.) 3819:" Due to their still precarious financial situation and the softening console rivalry between Sony and Nintendo with the release of Microsoft's Xbox, Square successfully reached out to Nintendo to begin development for their hardware again. Square began development on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the GameCube in late 2001." -: --> 2007:

Anyways they make Final Fantasy 1 for NES. Squaresoft also made Final Fantasy 4, Mystic quest and 6. They also made The Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire 1, Secret of Evermore and Super Mario RPG. They didn't have any swearing, there was a little violence in the NES and SNES games. But those Nintendo RPGs had a great story.

2834:. The article was generally well-written, though I happened to come across some sourcing issues while copyediting, some of which I have tagged in the article. I would advise this page's major contributor(s) to double-check the sourcing, as there were some statements that did not match what the source was saying, such as this 1954:: "When disambiguation is needed, the legal status, an appended "(company)", or other suffix can be used to disambiguate". "Square Co." is not a commonly used name and it gives off the wrong vibe that "Co." is the legal status, when in fact it is "Co., Ltd.". Either move to "Square (company)" or "Square Co., Ltd.". 1605:

On the other hand, Final Fantasy III never saw an English release, but is still listed. One could argue that Final Fantasy III is more relevant since it's part of Square's flagship series and, furthermore, it has had an (albeit unofficial) English translation. These arguments don't hold much water, however.

4097:

I know that last point might take a lot of work. The company's legacy does feel like a significant omission, but it probably feels more absent due to the focus on specific games. Another strategy would be just to remove those specifics entirely, or move them into the company's history as each release

about the reason for hiring more staff. I may be missing some information that is presented in the Japanese-language sources though, so do let me know if that is the case. Otherwise, the article is pretty well written and was fun to go through. Feel free to post here if there are any other questions!

says that disambiguation may be needed for an article title "because it refers to more than one subject covered by Knowledge (XXG), either as the main topic of an article, or as a subtopic covered by an article in addition to the article's main topic". Note that it says "subject", not just "identical

I see the logic in adding this here. But it may make more logical and chronological sense earlier, where the financial troubles are mentioned. It might give readers more context as to why they took Sony as an investor, and rekindled their relationship with Nintendo. It also has a nice bookend to the

The old Square (what is now named Block) is far more notable than Square the video game company pre-merging with Enix, under the name "Square". Just because the name has been "cleared" due to the move doesn't mean that it is appropriate to act like the former Square (what Block is now) never existed

2010:

Then in 1997 the America Squaresoft team left Nintendo and Partnered with the Playstation company and made Playstation RPG games aimed at Teens and Adults. They made the very first teen swearing, real violent Final Fantasy 7 game. They continued on with putting swearing and violence in Final Fantasy

1616:

Though it's been more than a year since you've brought it up, I just came across this now and I very much agree. From what little data I have, the company known as "Square" was originally a label of software company Denyūsha; this division seemed to have been managed by Hironobu Sakaguchi's brother.

4144:"Sakaguchi, following a period of low morale after the failure of The Spirits Within, decided to re-enter game development. He founded Mistwalker in 2004, which has since produced series such as Blue Dragon and Terra Wars and standalone projects such as Lost Odyssey and The Last Story. After" -: --> 3084:

I've done an edit to the page. Working from an older revision, I added in information, trimmed down bloat, and rearranged the section as a whole to better reflect things. All the subsidiaries are now in one place. I also addressed a couple of information mistakes I made regarding Square USA. It may

1604:

EDIT: I also notice that massive gaps of games are missing in any given platform. There is some debate as to why they shouldn't be included, since this is an English version of Knowledge (XXG), and these games (i.e. 'Square's Tom Sawyer' for Famicom) were never ported to English-speaking countries.

2046:

Actually, the "family friendly" stuff was mostly due to Nintendo of America's censorship. In the Japanese versions of some of their games, there were mild curses, some sprites showed a lot more bare skin, Pubs were Bars, some of the drinks were explicitly referred to as alcoholic beverages, there

2017:

Anyways this is only my thoughts about my feelings toward Squaresoft when it made wonderful RPG games to bad teen RPG games. Due to neutral point of view of wikipedia I cannot post it in the wikipedia page as it is not mine. I just wanted people to know there used to be a time when Squaresoft made

3137:

I was attempting going by what the sources say, and trying to keep it general (for instance, saying they partnered with x companies is what the sources support, I didn't find any statements about them " for specific distribution partnerships and to negotiate deals). For subsidiaries, I wanted to

2420:

A defunct status or an official renaming does not automatically reduce the notability of a name. Do we have any evidence that the overwhelming majority of readers who look for "Square (company)" are looking for the video game company? Do we have any evidence that the video game company has much

2006:

Hello there as you know I've grew up with Squaresofts Nintendo games in the 1980s and 1990s. When the America Squaresoft brought games from Japan around 1987. They made it available and made NES and SNES games aimed at families and kids. Of course this was in the days of video game censorship.

1862:

Are you sure there's not enough information available to make the article stands on its own? Akitoshi Kawazu did a lot of interviews about the FF Crystal Chronicles series; some stuff that aren't directly relevant to that series could go in the Game Designers Studio article instead. I think the

1782:

I think the merger with Enix should be somehow given in the first paragraph, currently the lead in sounds like the company doesn't exist anymore at all. I think a simple "It merged with Enix in ... and became part of Square Enix." should be enough. The article should also tell the reader at the

4145:"After stepping down as president in 2001, Sakaguchi experienced a period of low morale before returning to game development, founding Mistwalker in 2004. The studio became known for the Blue Dragon and Terra Wars series, as well as stand-alone projects such as Lost Odyssey and The Last Story." 2746:

generally expects that the partially disambiguated article be much more notable than the competition. That standard isn't met here - a recent rename of the payments company to Block isn't enough to stop its notability under that name, which is how it was known when it was a unicorn in all the

or it's just so big that it can't fit in the main article any more. 14 isn't so big- it's a bit lengthy, but I don't really think it's undue (Square had a lot of initiatives and sub-companies over the years!), and I have a hard time believing that there are sources that talk about "Square

3760:

In terms of organization, it makes more sense to include the film production stuff with the next section, where you talk about its release and failure. (I'd also argue that it makes more sense to end this section with the end of the Playstation lifecycle, if that timeline lines up.)

3634:"A combination of hardware limitations, Nintendo's decision to continue using cartridge games over a CD format for the Nintendo 64, and rising cartridge prices prompted Square to move the in-production Final Fantasy VII and their other ongoing projects onto Sony's PlayStation" -: --> 2421:

3814:"During this period, Sakaguchi also created the concept for Final Fantasy XI, the company's first MMORPG, developed by the Chrono team and led by Ishii. Final Fantasy XI and its first expansion was Kato's last work for Square before leaving in 2002 to go freelance." -: --> 4790:

New enough GA. This is your final exempt nomination before you must start supplying QPQ. This had to be quite the effort. Hook fact checks out and is in the article. No textual or copyright issues. No unreferenced passages. I think this will be very, very well read.

4193:

Both lists of names sort of means nothing to the average reader. Even as a fan of many square games, it doesn't mean much to me. I wouldn't criticize this too hard, but I might add more context (artists X,Y and Z, writers A and B), and/or really hone in on the key

663: 3138:

describe those formed formed in the Square period and continued operating either up to or a little way past the merger. I admit the Atari bit comes post-merger for Unlimited Saga. If the publishing bits explicitly post-merger are cut, will that be fine? --

1685:"Squaresoft" was never the name of the company to begin with, it's only a brand name they (used to) employ. The Japanese company name was Square Co., Ltd. although it did have a US subsidiary called Square Soft, Inc. Of course, it's all Square Enix now. 2691:? I've never heard of a previous name being so powerful that it blocks others off of it preemptively. If Block Inc is so unbelievably well known as Square, then maybe you're actually suggesting that Block should be moved back to Square as the COMMONNAME? 3045:

I personally don't believe a list is the right course. What I'd prefer is for the section to be...concise prose. I admit some subsidiaries I missed, but I started this conversation as recent additions were starting to bloat an already-big article again.

1742:

does not. American localizations continued to use the "Squaresoft" name because it was still the name of the American branch, not because the parent corporation was still actively using it as a brand name. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though. –

4209:"Initially producing action games, the team experienced a breakthrough success with Final Fantasy in 1987. A role-playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, it became the first in a series of critically and commercial successful games." 3815:

this statement sort of breaks the flow. You talk about Final Fantasy X in the next paragraph. It happened in 2002, and the film was released in 2001. It's easier to follow the thread (and the timeline) by sticking with the film production and

notable, and the Square payment platform is still prominently around. I love classic Square-the-Japanese-company's games, but even if we grant that they are equally as notable (which may be a stretch), that still means there's ambiguity.

i've been trying to find this font for years (the italic futura-looking one with the red triangle A). is it an actual font of which square licensed a modification, or is it a custom font commissioned exclusively for square? -alex rosario

615: 1705:

I'm not so sure about that idea. I don't think I consider Square's history to be the same thing as Square Enix's. Is Chrono Trigger a Square-Enix game? Merging the articles would suggest that it is, when clearly it is a Square game. -

3635:"With the production of Final Fantasy VII, Square decided to shift their projects to Sony's new Playstation console, prompted by the affordability of CD-ROM distribution, compared to Nintendo's continued use of expensive cartridges." 4089:

A lot of the statements about the specific games seem to be too specific for an article that's really aobut the company. What's missing is broadly the reception of Square as a studio, publisher, and company. The goal is to follow a

3614:

Alternatively, I might try to find a cleaner phrasing or try to parse the last down. Perhaps "The company gained several notable hires. X became a developer for A, Y joined as an artist for B and C, Z wrote dialog for D". Something

I think separate out the structure and publishing sections, rather than pushing them together under a single heading. (Or, if anything, the publishers fit more with its subsidiaries, given how many of them provided distribution

The timeline here is a bit confusing. It would be more clear to talk about their lack of presence in North America, followed by their success at self-publishing and working with Nintendo, and concluding with their Playstation

on the topic of Sony Europe, they did publish the original Kingdom Hearts and one of the Final Fantasy PS1 compilations, but I can’t find any sources for them for now, and maybe it’s for the best to avoid further clutter.

Their talks were successful, leading to the development of Final Fantasy Chronicles for the GameCube in late 2001." 4837: 3993:"As Square shifted its orientation towards Playstation in 1994, their American subsidiary moved to Marina del Rey, California, while changing its name twice in one year, to Square LA followed by Square USA." 3724:

let's be specific here. Assuming they didn't produce anything for Nintendo in this time, let's try "As the company passed on working with Nintendo," or even, "As the company was estranged from Nintendo".

3644:"In 1996, Square's final project with Nintendo was Sting Entertainment's Treasure Hunter G for the Super Famicom, while the company debuted DreamFactory's Tobal No. 1 for the Playstation that same year." 3384:"Square's first attempt at a game was an adaptation of the television game show Torin-ingen, (which also became Sakaguchi's first video game project)." (is noting Sakuguchi's inexperience important here?) 3963:

Did my best. For your final point above, I needed another re-arrange/rewrite to try and get it more chronological in nature. I also needed to separate the localization bits out into their own section. --

from the official site, dating from just before the Enix merger, also says "Squaresoft," so it seems pretty settled to me. And yes, I have little enough of a life to go searching for this stuff. :P

4708: 130: 639: 401: 3200: 2922:

With all thoughts, this is a great idea. That means we can see what other users think are better for the page or something along those lines, and it can solve the problems that we're having.

651: 4832: 4126:"Several Xenogears developers, including Takahashi and Tanaka, founded Monolith Soft in 1999 in order to pursue projects outside the Final Fantasy series, including additional Xeno titles." 3980:"Standing for "Advanced QUality Entertainment and Sports", and also acting as an anagram of Square's name, the brand was intended for publishing non-RPG titles such as sports games." -: --> 1730:

I'm not exactly willing to stake my life on this, but it was my understanding that the name "Squaresoft" was only used as a brand by Square during the 16-bit era: while my imported copy of

1116: 427: 4004:"the North American branch Square Electronic Arts published Square's titles in the region, while the Japanese branch Electronic Arts Square focused on releases from Electronic Arts" -: --> 3981:"The name was an anagram of Square's name, as well as an acronym for "Advanced QUality Entertainment and Sports", representing the company's diversification outside of role-playing games." 2067:

Is there an interview or other external material that explains the origins of the company's name: Square? (Which I find amusing considering the company logo clearly contains a triangle.)

1083: 1070: 466: 3831:"It also began production on a direct sequel to Final Fantasy X, titled Final Fantasy X-2 (2003); this broke with the common approach under Sakaguchi, who disliked direct sequels" -: --> 4332:

the Death Trap games probably deserve just a little more context as to what they were, even just a few categorical terms for their setting ("war?") and gameplay ("action?", "shooter"?)

1134: 4551:"Kameoka and other developers who worked on Legend of Mana (1999) founded Brownie Brown in 2000, and ended up working with Square Enix on the Mana series with Sword of Mana." -: --> 2499:. Parenthetical disambiguators in article titles need only distinguish between existing non-redirect articles. The rest is accomplished using hatnotes and redirects as appropriate. 2406:

I am not saying there is no more ambiguity anymore, but a hatnote can solve the ambiguity. Square(soft) will be the primary topic now, however, since it is a totally defunct name.

Payment system and company are not competing disambiguations. In this case, the payment system is not a company since it is run by Block, Inc., it is a brand of a larger company.

We'll tackle this in a few phases. I appreciate that this article is about a company, but it might be useful to know even a little bit more about the games that they created.

Moved the publishing bit into subsidiaries, and renamed it to "Publishing and subsidiaries". Since localization's less of a focused department thing, I kept that were it was.

This might be a stretch goal or featured article property, but maybe one or two sentences about what ultimately happened to the merged company might be useful.

3425:" Square supported Nintendo's Famicom Disk System, though few of the games created for it were major successes and Square began struggling financially." -: --> 2869:

in regards to the overseas subsidiaries/studios of Square, I'd like a wider discussion on how much detail to include. And how many sources are needed. Pinging

This whole part needed some rewriting and rearranging for the sake of chronology and brevity. Hopefully I've addressed all your points above as part of this.

The common name for that Square is also "Square" - their logo, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and website all use it undisambiguated. Seems hard to argue that

Here I must contest a little. The statement is explicitly in relation to the Famicom Disk System, not Famicom in general. I've reworked it to be less wordy.

1096: 3933:"One of the few North American releases was the original Breath of Fire by Capcom, who was busy enough to outsource publishing and localization to Square." 2729:

The payment platform is not at all in danger of confusion since it has a completely different article title (payment system). What's wrong with a hatnote?
