There is some information here which conflicts with information in the Squaresoft article, in particular the information regarding the name of the company. The Squaresoft article states that the current name of the company is Square Enix, but this one says it is Square USA, Inc. Which is it? One or the other or both need to be changed with the accurate information. Other than that, though, the article looks good. By the way, 192.246.40.32, I still wish you'd register. It's cumbersome to refer to you as your IP address... ;-) —Frecklefoot 14:21 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV?

What evidence is there to substantiate that Spirits Within failed due to "public apathy by the media"? I seem to think that it didn't do so well simply because lots of people thought it was a bad movie. Thunderbunny 08:44, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] stuff

What follows is copied from bungie.net; perhaps it should be included:

Final Fantasy Maven Moves to Next Gen Xbox Gaming legend Hironobu Sakaguchi (responsible for a few games you may have heard of called Final Fantasy) has announced that his Mistwalker Game Studio will create and develop role-playing games exclusively for what's finally been revealed as "the next-generation Xbox video game platform." Sounds awesome! Wonder if Bungie will make anything for it? Mr. Sakaguchi's company has committed to creating two exclusive RPG titles to be published by Microsoft Game Studios. Martschink

[edit] Edits

Ok, as a newbie, I am a little unsure of how some of this goes.

• The Square USA vs Square Enix vs Square (etc.) is due to Square having several different names at different times, and Square USA was an offshoot that Hironobu was CEO (or whatever) of.
• I had registered, but did not realize I was not logged in. My bad.
• I did not write the top part of the article, but I read through it and it all jived with what I remember.

Question

Yes, I copied the last section from another site. Should I take it down and ask their permission, or can I leave it up while awaiting their response?

[edit] Final Fantasy XII

I haven`t played the game, but i check over and over again and i`m almost sure Sakaguchi-sama didn`t work on FF XII, so i think it should be removed from the list even though every Final Fantasy is his legacy. What do you think? Zidane tribal 02:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

He appears in the credits in the "Special Thanks" section... I'm not sure if that counts. Kariteh 10:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
