Well, we know (or should know by now if you've been reading the above posts) that that Final Fantasy I was the last project (or so they thought) But when it became huge, Square desided to keep going because the term "Final Fantasy" itself was going to be bought by a lot of people. It's a marketing stratergy.

...do I really have to say it again?

It's not up for debate. It's a fact. The game is called "FINAL FANTASY" because it was supposed to be Square's last RPG before they went out of business. They didn't expect to make a ton of money off of it. The fans wanted more, so it turned into a series. Period. Plain and simple.

It wasn't a marketing strategy, and it wasn't supposed to be a success.

Read the first post, which has the statements from Square and its representatives.

Im surprised I never heard anybody here mention it but on the bonus FFX dvd he is talking about it, he actually said he wasnt happy with the games he was making

The first one was Final Fantasy, adventure came 3 years later.. i think! :S . but yer, i think the title of the games is hella good! it goes alot deeper than most other game titles!

Hehehe, it's pretty ironic really, considering it's one of the biggest and longest gaming franchises ever.

I've heard from many places that the actual reason of the name "Final Fantasy" was a translation error of "Ultimate Fantasy" or something along those lines.

He says it was because it was their last attempt at a successful game but wouldn't you rather say it was because of that and not a translation error?

I'm not saying this is true, just what I've heard.

Well, I'm still going with the really old statement from Squaresoft.

Everyone else's speculation isn't worth much compared to the company's word.

Which, coincidently, also isn't worth much in my eyes. SE have gone back on their word plenty of times before. The FFVII compilation is a good example.
