If they would have different names, people would blame Square for not being original and reusing the same things over and over again.

I think FF would have sold better if they had called it "Pokemon".
FFVIII should have been called 'The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants'. The person who decided to name a book/movie that was an idiot

There never was an NES one, and my point still holds because FFI&II was released ridiculously late in the Famicom's life cycle and proves that it was popular enough that Square felt justified in releasing it again.
Does this mean I can have my cookie back?

I am pretty sure the WonderSwan version was not released outside Japan.DoS (duh), Origins, the one on the Wonderswan. That's three. Yes, THREE times. Prove me wrong for a.
Edit: Oops. >_< I thought you were talking about something else.
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.)
Final Fantasy for the MSX
Final Fantasy for the WonderSwan Color
Final Fantasy Origins for the Playstation
Final Fantasy DoS

Lets see Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross
sell more than any Final Fantasy game lower
than 5 and there is only 2 of them, which
means all you eed is a trailer and you'll be all set
its like this if they named FF12 Barneys Adventure
would you still buy it if the trailer is good?

I did not think FFX-2 was bad, it turn out to be fun.
Really the game is about Shuyin coming back from the Dead and is going kill all of Spria, cause of what happen to Shuyin and Lenne.
And He did get really mad cause that was repeting in his mind of him and Lenne geting killed 1000 years...
Thats not why ppl hate X-2 its because Yuna acts so
rikuish that it gets annoying

It's hard to say for certain if Final Fantasy games would have been as popular with different names. The whole thing got changed completely starting from 7. But as a pre-7 fan, I would have looked at that game differently if it hadn't carried the Final Fantasy name. It's possible I would have really liked it, since it wouldn't have been disbanding a better formula, as it did, only starting it's own. And also, FF didn't really get popular until 7 was sold, so the question of why is forever up to debate.
Did it get attention because of the Final Fantasy name, or just because it had a high sequel number? Or just because of the advertising?
The huge number of kiddies that raved that game to sales greatness didn't give a damn about the FF name, only the modest number of fans did, many of which that game pissed off. I really doubted that the name and not just the high sequel number attracted the people, but it's impossible to know for sure. But it's possible that if FF7 really did start a fan base on it's own content. In which case it could have just been named something else just as well, and everyone would have been happy. And before someone questions the importance of FF7 in all this, don't worry, it's a fact that FF7 remains the most loved and most popular FF game to date. Most of the FF "fans" in existence today started with that game, that's also a fact.
Either way, I blame Nintendo for FF7. Their bad treatment of Square brought Square to change a lot of their views.
