About Square
Square Co., Ltd. was a titan of the video game industry, founded in September 1986. Originally a computer game software division of a power line construction company, Square quickly established itself as one of the most important and influential developers in the world, particularly in the realm of role-playing games (RPGs). The company is best remembered for its profound commitment to cinematic storytelling, deep character development, and high production values, creating experiences that felt less like games and more like epic, interactive sagas.
The company's trajectory changed forever with the release of Final Fantasy in 1987 for the Famicom (NES). Facing potential bankruptcy, the game was a last-ditch effort that became a monumental success, saving the company and spawning a globally recognized franchise. Final Fantasy set itself apart with its grand scale, strategic turn-based combat, and emotionally resonant score by Nobuo Uematsu. This single title established the formula and ambition that would define Square for decades to come, cementing its place as a powerhouse developer.
The 1990s are often considered Square's golden age. During the Super Nintendo and original PlayStation eras, the company entered a period of incredible creative output, releasing a string of universally acclaimed masterpieces. This era produced not only legendary Final Fantasy installments like Final Fantasy VI and the groundbreaking Final Fantasy VII, but also other timeless classics such as the time-traveling epic Chrono Trigger, the beautifully crafted Secret of Mana, and the strategically deep Final Fantasy Tactics. Each of these titles pushed the boundaries of narrative and gameplay, solidifying Square's reputation as the premier developer of RPGs.
In 2003, in a move that reshaped the Japanese gaming landscape, Square merged with its long-time rival, Enix, to form Square Enix. While the original 'Square' brand ceased to exist as a standalone entity, its legacy is undeniable and continues to thrive within the new company. The design philosophies, iconic franchises, and creative talent that made Square a household name are still cornerstones of the industry today, and the games it produced during its independent run are consistently ranked among the greatest of all time, cherished by millions of players worldwide.
