	Did You Know? - Square Enix
		Around 1995, Enix actually packed up its console division for a few years to concentrate on computer software in Japan, and there were at least two worldwide PC game design contests sponsored by the company.
		Both Square and Enix have had mixed results on the PS2 hardware, with Enix coming out ahead in terms of variety thanks to Super Gadelic Hour, Dance Summit 2001, O Story, and The Fear, among others, while Square lead in terms of overall volume.
		One common misconception among some of you out there is that Squaresoft and Enix program all their games in-house, when in fact they often work with other developers on many aspects of game design and production, a common practice in the industry.

	Square Enix slashes forecasts as game divisions underperform // GamesIndustry.biz
		Japanese publisher Square Enix has cut its profit forecast for the full year by over 40 per cent and dropped its revenue forecast by eight per cent, citing missed targets in its online, offline and mobile game divisions as the cause.
		The failure of the offline games division to hit its targets is particularly surprising, given that both Kingdom Hearts II and Final Fantasy XII have performed exceptionally strongly for the company, but may have been affected by the delays to the release of those titles.
		However, in the online game sector, Square Enix has seen disappointing performance for new titles in the marketplace, and has so far failed to emulate the success of Final Fantasy XI - a game which, the company says, continues to perform steadily.

		It is unknown why, after years of looking the other way, Square Enix decided to crack down on the developers of this particular project with legal action.
		The fan community will understand that it is a revision of the ethos of Chrono Trigger, the producers get to finish their game, and Square Enix doesn't have to pursue legal action or be deluged by teenage fantasies of becoming the next "outsourced" Square RPG hitmaking machine.
		Square fucked up and their gonna have to live with this...they could probably still re-open the project (more than likely wont happen).The only way i will be happy with square-enix again, is if they cancelled it because their coming out with their own in the near future.
