Well, they wanted to call it Fighting Fantasy but changed the name due to possible copyright issues.

So even the titanic Squareenix, at one time, had to felate the copyright giant.

This. I forget the whole story but something like they were in a bind and made a last ditch effort of a title.

The story about them thinking it would be their last game seems to be legit.

It was also mentioned in the GameTrailers retrospective. I miss GameTrailers. It was one of the best video game websites in my opinion.

Square was facing bankruptcy back then, and they thought Final Fantasy was going to be their last game before they went out of business. Hence the final in Final Fantasy. They weren't expecting it to become such a blockbuster hit that would make them one of best the video game companies. That was a totally unexpected surprise.

This was long before Square-Enix existed and before Square was a titanic game developer. Back then Square was a very tiny game developer that most people never heard of. Their games weren't popular.

The original title was indeed going to be Fighting Fantasy, but they had to change it due to copyright issues. They then came up with the title Final Fantasy, because as said, they were facing bankruptcy and thought it was going to be the last game they would ever make.

Because after you've sunk 60+ hrs into one of those games you're supposed to stop and say I've had enough fantasy, now it's time to deal with real life...

But then they make another one.

Aww. Look at you. Acting all superior about knowing some stupid, useless shit that a few other people didn't. I hope you didn't strain yourself with that pat on the back.

Hey buddy, I literally said everybody knows it and other people are acting "superior" despite that. How did you flip that around so terribly?

Fun fact: I picked up a Fighting Fantasy book on a whim at some second hand store when I was like 9. It kind of was a gateway to table top RPGs for me.
