==Relationship with Square Enix==

Being the I.P. holding entity, Armor Project is the licensor of the ~~''Dragon Quest'' series~~ to [[Square Enix]], which handles the publishing of the games' physical media. Square Enix grandfathered this relationship from the [[Enix]] corporation after the merger with Squaresoft on April 1st of 2003. This is due to the corporate structure of Enix, which was purposefully designed to be a digital publishing house for video game software with the rights to a game's intellectual property being credited to the original creator. Square Enix held no influence on the selection of the development studio contracted to program a particular ''Dragon Quest'' game until {{DQ9}}, due to the title and and subsequent entries being developed internally with Square Enix's own employees. This has continued for ~~''[[Dragon Quest X]]''~~ and {{DQ11}}.

==Misconceptions==

Contrary to popular belief, Armor Project is not a three person joint ownership between Yuji Horii, [[Akira Toriyama]], and the late [[~~Koichi~~ Sugiyama]]. It is wholly owned by Horii, with Akira Toriyama being credited via his ''Bird Studio'' (バードスタジオ) office and Koichi Sugiyama by his ''Sugiyama Kobo'' label.
