Square Enix normally brings one thought to mind Final Fantasy. But the Japanese company is so much more than that as many fans know who play games in the Tomb Raider series or Just Cause. They are gaining a lot of stream right now with higher profit numbers than previous years.

Square Enix just recently reported their earnings for the the past six months and their is reason to celebrate. According to Gamespot they are gaining 18.1% profits over last year this time. They earned 86.4 billion yen up from last years 73.1 billion Yen says Gamespot.  This is an exciting time in their history after many unprofitable moments in Square’s history before merging with Enix and going bankrupt. As well as the now revived Final Fantasy XIV that originally lost a lot of revenue and failed before becoming a realm reborn.

Some mobile games like dragon quest and the Japanese only school girl strikers, final fantasy record keeper and more says Gamespot .
