Topic	Will there ever be a FINAL Fantasy?

IIRC the name came about because Squaresoft was almost flat broke, and the original game was a last-ditch effort to save the company. I'm afraid that's a myth. The actual reason is that they wanted an English name that could be abbreviated to FF (or "efu-efu" in Japanese) because they just thought it sounded good. They originally decided on "Fighting Fantasy" but then discovered that title was already taken by a British gamebook series, so they changed "Fighting" to "Final". --- Re-open board 261. <cite>Thanatos_the_Great posted [p:979818952] in Will there...
