Square Enix is a Japanese entertainment company best known for making and publishing video games. It develops and sells console, PC, and mobile games, including long-running franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. It also publishes manga and related books, so its business reaches both game players and comic readers.

Its main customers are gamers, digital storefronts, retailers, and publishing readers. The company makes money when people buy its games, download content, or pay for in-game items, and when publishers and merchandisers license its characters and stories. It also earns from manga sales and other uses of its intellectual property.

What makes Square Enix different is that it does not just sell one-off software titles; it builds valuable story worlds and characters that can be reused across games, books, merchandise, and licensing deals. That gives the company a business model centered on intellectual property, where a successful franchise can support many different products over time.
