In 1990 Quest was merged with the company Bothtec, the latter focusing on the development of personal computer software.[1] Bothtec was best known for the 1986 action-adventure video game Relics, and the licensed games based on the Legend of the Galactic Heroes series.[2][3] The companies were separated in 1997; as an independent company Bothtec Inc. remained a development partner of Quest and continued operation until being dissolved in 2009.[4]
In 1995, key members Yasumi Matsuno, Hiroshi Minagawa, and Akihiko Yoshida left Quest to join Square,[5] where they developed Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story, and have worked on Final Fantasy XII as part of Square Enix. In 2002, Quest was purchased by Square; and the acquisition reunited some of Quest's developers with their former colleagues. These former Quest staff continued to work on the Final Fantasy Tactics sequels Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Final Fantasy Tactics A2, while the Ogre series creator Yasumi Matsuno left the company in 2005. Matsuno later reunited with his former team to write and design for the 2010 remake of Tactics Ogre on a freelance basis.
