Should this game be called 'Final Fantasy 9'?

Here's some suggestions:

"Not The Very Final "Final Fantasy", But We Won't Be Making Anymore For You Lot On PlayStation One" -- My personal favourite.

"The Game That Takes Real Fans Back In Time To All The Final Fantasies We Have Made, And Reminds Them That We Kick Ass" -- Also good.

"Not Final, But A Damn Good Tribute" -- So very true.

and finally...

"This Is The Best Final Fantasy Ever Made, Anyone Disagreeing Will Be Introduced To Our Special Board Of Ninjas" -- Not bad I reckon.

Keep it simple stupid!

"Final Fantasy: Castlepunk"

I just found out it's original name!

"Final Fantasy Gaiden" Gaiden means 'side story'.

That wasnt its name though:

Originally planned to be a"Final Fantasy Gaiden" or side story,this game eventually grew to be a full-fledged FF game.

It could have been called anything.

oh, when I read it I comepletely ignored the "a" so I read it as, "originally planned to be "Final Fantasy Gaiden" or side story".

Dude, is something mentally wrong with you? If you love Final Fantasy IX so much, why do you care why it's called Final Fantasy IX?:confused:

I don't, 9's my favourite number! :D I just read about it being a side-story and it got my wondering if that's what it should of been, making 10 9, 11 10 and so on.

Sure, why should this game not be called "Final Fantasy IX"? :p To me it felt a lot more FF-ish than the FF games around it (VIII and X). If it hadn't been one of the numbered FFs, I guess it would have meant to me that the "spin-off" titles are better than most of the "actual" (numbered) titles, these "spinoff" games being Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Medievil represents FF more to me than futuristic themes.

The point is this: IT'S ALREADY CALLED FINAL FANTASY IX!

i wouldn't know of it by any other name. a name change might actually ruin it...

True Dat!

fine fine.

i think the final fantasy games are called that because they are the final fantasys. I mean, how many fantasys are there gona be in a futuristic world? Gaia is developing technology as well so there wouldnt be any more fantasys.

Fantasy isn't just medieval. Fantasy is any fantasy. One's fantasy could be flying around with a gattling gun for an arm, or plebbing about with a sword that shoots bullets.

Though admittedly, fantasies are better with magic and stuff :D

I don't know Square continued? FFIX should of been where it ends.
