    I'm well aware of this, thank you. If you didn't notice, I'm the one who compiled the master Final Fantasy list, which is stuck right next to this thread. My point with that post was that it's a question a lot of people ask -- whether it's because they don't realize there are more games, or they don't think the other games count for anything. I can't help what people ask, but I promise you I've gotten that question so many times, it's unreal.

    just goes to show that the best art happens by accident, or via inside joke. FINAL FANTASY is a perfect title, for anything. slapping roman numeral after it only makes it that much more intense. even beyond the actual reason it was named for, it really does make sense in the sense of the games themselves. you could even try to tie the title into the whole try-to-link-all-the-FF-storylines thing too: i mean, just about every final fantasy game is about the same thing. great evil threatens the world - heroes must save it. so perhaps there's the chance that each game IS the final fantasy - and the roman numerals are simply scratch marks on the wall, each one commemorating a group of heroes that was able to once again save the planet from utter destruction. the title FINAL FANTASY XII certainly has a lot of weight on its shoulders...

    Look people, for all those who don't want to accept the first explanation:
    Its simple: HES RIGHT!!!
    Though there might be a little other reasons, that one is the main reason. But that doesnt exclude the other theories.
    Myself, I like to think of the title "FINAL fantasy" as a sort of brag: They wanted to show that they could make a super-fantasy-rpg-game that no other developers could surpass (in wich they succeeded if you ask me) HENCE: FINAL fantasy --> no other fantasy-game would ever be more final.
    Irony of this: they improved their FF(-based) games a LOT since the first one but WTH its just a theory. thx for reading this shit

    And you're completely leaving Mystic Quest and the three Legends titles out of your list as well.

    And Chronicles, which was four and CT, and Anthology, which was five and six.

    And FFT:Advance.

    The Legends titles are not Final Fantasies. They are part of the "Saga" series.

    Also everyone keeps saying Final Fantasy adventure but,
    Final Fantasy Adventure is really a part of the "Seiken Densetsu" series.(Like Secrect of Mana.)


    Sorry to comment on your post from awhile ago. But just had to correct some info.

    Well with the words "Final Fantasy" in their titles, I'd have said they were part of the "Final Fantasy" series. Not part of the main series though. "Spin-offs" if you please.

    if everyone here was a true final fantasy fan they would not have to ask why it is called final fantasy because they would already know

    "Final Fantasy"

    The game Final Fantasy was released as a last(final) hope of the company which is now know as "Square Enix". The game was huge hit and saved the company, and as you can see they still appericate what the game did for they.

    its called final fantasy because the games creator was gonna retire after he made this game so he called it final fantasy.

    But yeah, if it was from an intellect such as yourself, I'd most likely believe it, whether you had or hadnt searched for it on a site.
    I have to agree with this... I don't really pay too much attention to the name, although it is kind of a weird name... on a side note, i have a question that I can't seem to find a place to put, so i'll ask here... has anyone played a game so much that when they're not playing it, like sleeping they think they're actually in the game, and try to make their actions fit the game?

    I think everyone here is right. I am glad the series hasn't ended yet. I have really enjoyed each and everyone, and have played each of them at least 5 times, and plan on playing them again and again.

    I was wondering that for a while unyil i did the research to find out.
    I'm glad that they did't end up being bankrupt. I enjoy playing them all so much without it I wouldn't want to imagine how The game indistry would be without FinalFantasy games.

    ok.... We all love final fantasy, or else we would have never stumbled upon this site. One thing.... Stop saying the same thing over and over people! Just read the FIRST post and if you don't want to read the whole thing he put it in BOLD letters for you all. What are you trying to do here, claim the info for yourself! just needed to vent a little considering it got annoying to hear 10 people say the same exact thing.

  21. #51
    Your final fantasy is just the start of someone elses. that's how I observed it and I like it so i'll stick with it.

  22. #52
    Its kinda literal, and yeah, that is the truth. I already read this in an article in a game magazine. I was surprised to find it here too. And yeah, they all were bankrupt before they became successful. But if that didnt happen, I am not playing my favorite game right now.

    i've read that before too. i got some stuff to say. what if square made a new series kinda similar but very different like "the fantasy" or "warrior's edge" those sound like some cool titles.

  25. #55
    I can't remember when exactly it was, but the G4TV show Icons did a show about Final Fantasy. Did anyone else see it? They did one on Square as well, but I can't remember which show explained the "Final" part... still good shows though.

    Why is it called "Final Fantasy" when it's not the last one? To quote Wikipedia:

    Hopefully, that answers your question before you even ask it. It seems we never could answer that question enough times for enough people.
    Yeah I remember reading about Square's big break after Final Fantasy 1 came out in PSM a few years ago, but you always hear from people that Final Fantasy 7 was the game that changed the world, not true it was Final Fantasy 1 that started the whole thing. Without Final Fantasy 1 there would had NOT been a Final Fantasy 7.

    I found out the true reasons to the name "Final Fantsy" back in 2002. Before that I just thought it was called Final Fantasy because before 10-2 there were no 'story-line' sequels to FF, making each story in the series final.

    It's the way that fate intended it to be. It's the way things had to be. It was their final chance at a game.

    Hmm really? That was interesting to read, kudos El Loco for that first post.
    I had no idea the first FF was ment as a final game from Square and that they where so close to bankrupcy, I mean look at them now.
