Obviously Final Fantasy is kind of a silly name

[Reles]

I dont have a problem with it being named that, but I'd prefer it'd be in Japanese, ya know, since it comes from Japan.

Although the name is the same, in Japan they probably associate different feelings with it than we do in America, and it's not supposed to mean "the last fantasy" it is the last game a man would make before his retirement, and it was a fantasy.

Well, it probably would have been something like Fantasy Quest or Crystal Quest. Or maybe something with "Legend" in the title. I mean, FFI came along pretty early on as far as gaming goes, so they would likely have still chosen a broad, more abstract-sounding title.

my friend vinnie told me years ago the guy who invented final fantasy called it that beacuse he was told it would be his final game if it didnt turn out right.

They named it because Square was going bank-rupt and the Producer said his FINAL game would be a FANTASY.

If you were a business, would you change the name that made you famous? Would you alienate your fans with a different name when the original name "final fantasy" is something they're used to? It's a name that sells a good brand of games, I wouldnt change it for anyone, espesially the poeple who continually make these kind of threads.

[zebaroth]

I would not change it all becuase it is a Final fantasy in ench storyline
