Talk:Enix

Untitled

I merged Enix with Enix America Corporation to create a similar format to that of Square Co., Ltd. because they are now related companies. The other article had not been edited in quite some time and needed to be wikified anyway. I've included the corporate information and any games I left out from it and integrated it into this article.

Regarding Square Enix Webstar Network Technology

The original article states:

"In 2001, Enix and Square formed Square Enix Webstar Network Technology, a 60%-owned joint subsidiary alongside Mauritius Webstar Inc., established to promote online and mobile gaming in China."

Whoever put this in the article probably misinterpreted the PDF file. The original company was formed solely between Enix and Webstar in 2001, with no Square involvement at all. When Enix absorbed Square in Japan, its subsidiary in China of course changed its title into Square Enix Webstar Network Technology, but there was no Square involvement before the merger in 2003. --Yottamol (talk) 21:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation

I hate to ask, but is there a reliably sourced way to tell how it's pronounced? I've been playing Final Fantasy games for years and STILL don't know whether it's "eh-nix" or "ee-nix". Tezero (talk) 20:20, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't think so. But the phonetic pronunciation of the name as indicated in Japanese would suggest eh-nix. The article claims that the name is loosely derived from the term phoenix. Although it's probably worth noting that the received English pronunciation of phoenix may not reflect how the word is actually pronounced in its parent language. 75.63.209.97 (talk) 22:10, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

not just "phoenix" but also ENIAC, which would seem to reinforce the "ee-nix" version as correct. I don't think ENIAC could really be subject to a different pronunciation in other languages or cultures, as it's a proper name made up specifically for it. 2601:40C:8300:8A10:FC0A:F04B:4675:63B8 (talk) 12:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

GA Nomination?

Would anyone mind if I nominate this for GA status? I would help guide it through the process! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:57, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Peer review

Enix

I've listed this article for peer review because...I was considering taking the article forward into the GAN process, which I've already done for its rival company Square. Compared to Square, I've had issues with sourcing aspects of the company, since it was a publisher with a broader range of activities. The article as it stands is probably close to as good as it will get, but some additional feedback on language choice and potential sources that I could use before taking it forward would be useful and appreciated.

Thanks, ProtoDrake (talk) 15:47, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Comments from Z1720

@ProtoDrake: Comments after a quick skim: I think this is ready for a GAN nomination, where a reviewer will take a closer look. If looking for additional sources, perhaps try "History of Enix" when searching databases, putting the text in all quotes? Its possible that academic business journals might discuss the implications of the Square-Enix merger, which will be helpful to get information about the company before the merger happened. WP:LIBRARY has access to databases on that topic, and other articles like Square Enix have sources that are currently not used in the Enix article. Z1720 (talk) 15:31, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
