it was said that Square soft was about to go out of business so they created a game that was supposed to be their last and called it Final Fantasy. the game became a hit, saved the company so they keep on churning out games.

That and it's pretty common for Japanese videogames to have nonsensical names. Infinite Undicovery, Tales of Symphonia, Zone of the Enders... Need I go on?

And to prevent it from becoming some sort of contradiction.. each Final Fantasy game has its very own standalone story.

A lot of people would say that when I post the list of 100+ FF games. But in the end, they are still all Final Fantasy games.

The final (ha) installment will be named "The Final Fantasy".

Final Fantasy, while implying it's a final fantasy, is not the final fantasy they are able to come up with.

[Keep in mind that's not what they're going to call the last game (maybe) just what they should call it]

Yup. Proof that if a studio tries really hard to go out in style they may not go out at all. Until they merge with Enix, that is.

It wasn't an analogy at all. They call it a chair because they just do. They call it final fantasy because they just do. They call it the sky because they just do. There is no reason to call things what they are called other than we all just call them that. It is just used in every day language as a way to communicate with each other. Sorry if I some how confused you but i thought that it was pretty straight forward.

Are you implying that we should name objects after verbs?

Example: "Hey, do you own a ride?" "Yeah, I do. Do you need a ride" "Yeah, my ride is currently in the repair" "Too bad, my ride is in my storage"

True. I guess it would lose some of its mystique if I had it out there at all times. I'll just wait for the next "Halo Milked" thread to pop up.

The only way that my statement doesn't make sense is if you can not comprehend the statement which is about a paragraph long so if you need further explanation sorry i can't write an essay about the topic.

A word being used in a language you speak to communicate with other people doesn't makes sense to you? Sure they have a reason they call it final fantasy because of them making a final game that happened to do great and they made 13 more. However they are also words in the english language first and for most which are used to make a title. So asking why they call something final fantasy or a chair reverts back to the simple answer we just do. It is like asking why they call it a chair. I find it hilarious that you people can't comprehend something as simple as this my 4 year old can understand something as simple as this.

This was true up in till FFX-2. That was the first time this tradition was broken and sadly not the last time either.

I find it hilarious that you people can't comprehend something as simple as this my 4 year old can understand something as simple as this.

my goodness, the fact you have the same comprehension as your four year old son is not a good thing. A title of a game has nothing to do with a simple noun/adjective. When someone asks why its called halo or gears of war or fallout, the common response is not 'because its a word found in the dictionary' we all know they are words, we can all figure that out. He asked about why the devs thought it fit to call it final fantasy when there were 13 of them, i doubt square enix would just say , 'oh because we just do alright' and that has already been established that they didnt do that. you seriously need to think about your illogical analogy and explanation for it before you start insulting people, cause you are just making yourself look a little more silly
