Wikipedia Article:

tri-Ace Incorporated is a Japanese video game development company formed in 1995 by former members of Namco's Wolf Team, Yoshiharu Gotanda (programmer, current tri-Ace President), Masaki Norimoto (game designer) and Joe Asanuma (director). The name is a play on words regarding the "three aces" who formed the company. They established the company out of protest how Namco and Telenet handled the development and branding of the Tales of Phantasia.

The company has been financed by Enix since it began its operations. This did not change with the merger of Square and Enix. All of tri-Ace's games have been published by Square Enix (originally by Enix).

The group exclusively makes console RPGs, and is known for giving their games action-packed battle systems and deep skill systems. This trademark style began when the founders of tri-Ace originally worked on the Tales of Phantasia for Namco. This game is a precursor to tri-Ace's own Star Ocean games in several ways; i.e. an action battle system where the player controls one character and AI controls others in the party and special battle skills that the player can assign to different buttons.

In 2004, more than 100 staff members work and develop consumer game software for the company. tri-Ace games have sold over 3.8 million copies worldwide as of September 2005. The company's sound programmer Hiroya Hatsushiba formed tri-Crescendo in 1999 which has since independently developed Baten Kaitos and Eternal Sonata.
