ArtePiazza
ArtePiazza is a video game development and computer graphics headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The name derives from the Italian words for "art" and "a public square".
History[edit]
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, as well as Nintendo DS remakes of:

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