History

The company is best known for its involvement in the development of the Dragon Quest series by Enix and later Square Enix. While ArtePiazza was mostly responsible for the CG design and illustrations of some of the early titles, they produced enhanced remakes of others. This includes Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS remakes of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation,[2] and the Nintendo Switch remake of Super Mario RPG.[3]

Other projects besides those based on Square Enix properties include the development of the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 game Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon and the co-production of Koei's Wii title Opoona.[1]

The CEO of the company is Shintaro Majima. The company's motto is “The analog within the digital”. This means video games are digital entertainment trying to mimic real-life analog things, and the expression itself must be prioritized over digital techniques.[4]
