    Rebranding back to Square Soft by be a conflict of interest.

Square being its own permanent developer and publisher.


    So Rebranding back to Square Soft which was a developers only name would be... a poor choice. I feel the Square Brand on its own is strong enough as a Publisher Name.

    Especially if they go back to the classic RED A style logo.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Not exactly true, Square Soft did publish a bunch of their games and for other companies too Like Breath of Fire which they published in NA for Capcom(1994). It was only in 2003 that Square and EA did a joint venture where EA would publish Square's games in NA and Square EA's games in Asia.

    Here's a list of games published under the Square Soft Brand name.

    Specifically off the top of my head I know Parasite Eve.
    VII, VII, Tactics, The Bouncer, Brave Fencer Musashi, Ehrgeiz: God Bless The Ring and some of the others I believe.

    Also, You have to understand A lot of the games actually published by Square Electronic Arts were labled "Squaresoft" because that was part of their contract. But the boot up screen for the game itself would always say "Published by: Square Electronic Arts" This was especially true on the software they made in house or by half owned developers like Dream Factory

    So far, I've looked up Parasite Eve, VII, and Brave Fencer Musashi, and what I'm finding says all were published by Square Soft in Japan (I know Wikipedia isn't always right, buuuuuuuut....). VII seems to have been published by Sony in the US, and the other two were published by Square EA in the US.

    So to say that Square EA published a lot of those titles. Yes, they did, in the US--but it looks like Square Soft was its own publisher domestically for those titles.

    For their own developed games yes. They didn't publish very many if any (Besides BoF) other developers games unless they owned a huge chunk of that developer (DreamFactory)

    Final Fantasy Tactics: Sony
    Final Fantasy VII: actually published by Sony, not Square nor EA. The PC version was published by Eidos.
    Parasite Eve: published by Square EA
    Final Fantasy VIII:Published by Square EA
    Brave fencer musashi: Square EA
    The bouncer: Square EA

    After doing some research and checking from multiple sources this is the most accurate info for these titles.
