Do you think the Final Fantasy series would have been as popular if, after FF1 they had continued to make the Final Fantasy games, but not called them Final Fantasy, if u know what i mean, arguably FF7 was the most popular/most bought, but what if when it came to FF8, 9, 10, 10-2..... they had given them other names, do u think it would have been as popular ? just look at vagrant story, if they had named this final fantasy whatever do you think it would have been more popular ?

this was just somthing i was thinkig to myself, what do you's think ?

Well depends on what name

Had they named it Book reading adventure I personally dont think it would have been very successful.

I doubt FFVIII would sell well if they named it "Military School."

I believe that everything --including the name of course-- plays a major role for a game to be succesful..So if the name isn't "attractive" the game won't sell that much..

[ultima88]

well yeh i kinda guessed that, but i just ment if they thought up a good name for it

[Rengori]

If they thought up a good name, it'd be Final Fantasy.

well you can't really say in the beginning people only bought FF games because it was an FF game... like FF2 didn't do well because it was FF. And for most fans, as long as it is made by Square, as I know myself to be this type of fan, I'll take a look at what it's like and probably pick it up, and definitely will if it's an RPG.

FF2 didn't "do well" because it wasn't sold in this country until a few years ago.

I'll wait for someone to quote how it did in japan now xD

[DJZen]

Well enough for them to want to remake it 5 times. Yes, FIVE times.

[Rengori]

DoS (duh), Origins, the one on the Wonderswan. That's three. Yes, THREE times. Prove me wrong for a .

I am pretty sure the WonderSwan version was not released outside Japan.

Well, let's see...

Final Fantasy 1 & 2 for the NES. (They were re-released in Japan as a 2 in 1 package, if I remember correctly.)
