Why is it called Final Fantasy but gets new titles, so never finalizes

[bvrakvs]

Which final is the final final?

[TGC> The Games Collector]

ugh, this reminds me they should really make a new sequel to Never Ending Story.

They originally called it like this because Square at the time thought it was gonna be their last game and they'd go bankrupt, but it was an overhelming success.

Never Ending Story - ends immediately
Final Fantasy - no finality to it
Lord of the Rings - the lord has no ring
Game of Thrones - there is just one singular uncomfortable throne

are there more examples?

Did any character at any point say the name of the series out loud? Like "this will be our final fantasy" or similar?

Every final fantasy is someones last fantasy, if a player of it dies while playing it.

So for some people, each final fantasy was their last.

It's a myth that they named it that because the studio was going bankrupt and thought it would be their last game.

They originally wanted to call it Fighting Fantasy, but that name was already taken by some tabletop game, and Final had the same desired alliteration.

pedo ring faked a random robbery.

he'd been using his influence to work against them in hollywood since he was 54 or so.

managed to cost a highly-placed vampire his job, and he took revenge by implicating the ring he was acting as a cut-out for.

also a myth, based on Fighter supremacy.

it was literally fantasy final. just an embarassing grammar error.

They allude to it alot but never say it fully. Maybe in Japanese they do.
