    Default Titles. Of games.

    So. Did you ever think that the Final Fantasy games should be seperatly named, since they don't have much in common? What names would you give to the FFs if Final Fantasy (plus whatever number follows) if you were given a chance?

    THIS IS NOT A TITLES REGECTED THREAD. I'm tryin' to be serious...

    Umm, FF1... I think I'd rename it "Crystal Quest" or something... okay that was stupid...

    They actually have a ton to do with each other. Just because their stories are unique doesn't mean there aren't heaps of other connections.

    Nah, she's got a point- hence 'Advent Children'. It has a name.
    I don't knwo much about 1 to 6, but 7 could be called something like 'Spirit of the Ancients' or 'Power of the Ancients' or something like that. Or, alternatively, 'Jenova's Legacy' or something else to do with Jenova.
    I can't think of anything else.

    imo, thats only because of its nature as a VII's spin off, SE could easily have called AC and the others VII-2, -3 etc (until they finally realise that all VII fanboys have died of old age), like they did with X and X-2, but then that would imply that they're all sequels to VII, not spin-offs, if theres a difference.

    I wouldnt really name any mainstream FF, and I think the main series of the games should just be numbered, spin-offs can have titles, and sequels, i prefer numbered, but it really depends on the nature of the game.

    I'm pretty sure ff9 wasn't going to be called ff gaiden.

    I don't think they should have other names, because then it would put them in the realm of 'spinoff' and fanboys would not accept them as canon, much the way ffx-2 and mystic quest are spurned today.

    FFIX was never going to be called FFGaiden. Sakaguchi even cited the fact that it was the last single-digit numbered game as the reason for its retrospective style. Then there's the fact that there was already a game called Final Fantasy Gaiden.
