From here Gamespot’s article on the merge
These are two giants of the video game industry. Square is mostly known for its Final Fantasy series which is the most popular console RPG series. They are massively popular in Japan, USA, and Europe. Enix has the Dragon Quest series. It is THE RPG series in Japan. The goverment has a law that Enix can only release Dragon Quest on the weekends so millions of people will not be skipping school and work to pick up the game. Enix, however, is not as popular outside of Japan.
I’m kind of stunned right now as I’m trying to figure how this will affect the video game world. Obviously, some great games will be made but which ones and when? And how will this affect the long in the future production of my beloved Ogre Battle series that Square picked up earlier in the year?
