    But Dream Drop Distance is a dumber title than any of these.

    Type-0 definitely wins, hands down. Dirge of Cerberus may be nonsense, but nonsensical RPG names aren't that unusual, and at least it sounds serious. Type-0 is just silly.

    FYI, the game is just called Final Fantasy Type-0. There's no "XIII" in it's title.

    I guess I just don't get it because I don't see what's wrong with that title. o__O

    What kind of name is Final Fantasy anyway - there's been like 100 of them. That's not final at all.

    I saw this thread was still active and was just going to drop the hammer on every single Final Fantasy since the first, and then I read Shauna just did the same. Hmph. It is totally stupid.

    I voted for Type-0 for weirdest name, but I'd pick Bravely Default Flying Fairy if it was on the poll.

    That's true. But no one's ever heard of it, so naturally it wouldn't be on the poll. Has that been released in the US, Shingundam?
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    It's still in development.

    But yeah, Type-0 is the dumbest of the bunch.

    Not yet, it might take a while because it is story driven game.

    I don't see what the big deal about Type-0 is. It doesn't sound very inspired but it doesn't sound terrible either. Sounds pretty ordinary to me. I vote X-2/XIII-2 since standard numerals directly conflict with the roman numerals in the titles. They should remove the 2 and add a subtitle instead.

    X-2 makes me think they're trying to say "ten til," but can't pronounce it 'cause they're Japanese.

    Nothing will beat Dissidia 012 [Duodecim] Final Fantasy. Squenix needs to seriously stop adding latin into their titles, though the FF series has nothing on Kingdom Heart's awful title schemes...

    I don't mind Type-0 I think its an improvement over Agito. Adding a number to another number is silly though, so X-2 (friends who don't play FF keep mistakenly calling it FF12) and XIII-2 are pretty silly and only add to the silliness of any Final Fantasy with a number attached. Versus XIII is also a silly nonsensical title, so is Final Fantasy fighting the roman numeral 13? Most of the Compilation titles are also a bit weird. As has been pointed out, Before Crisis sounds misleading if you don't know anything about FF, but what the hell does Crisis Core even stand for in terms of anything relevant?

    Dissidia 012 [Duodecim] is the worst I agree.

    Type-0 dropped the XIII part so it's not as bad, but still a stupid name.

    Dream Drop Distance is also a dumb name but the KH spinoffs all get dumb names.

    I voted for Final Fantas Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, because the 'A2' stands for 'Advance 2' and the game is not even for the Gameboy Advance. Imagine Mario Sunshine for Gamecube being called Super Mario 64 2. Dumb idea. On top of that it has a really stupid subtitle.
