Why did Squaresoft named the series Final Fantasy in the first place?

I think it had to do with the company being pretty bad off and the game they were making would be their last.  History is made...

Correct, they were actually on the verge of banckruptcy so this was intended to be their last RPG. It turned out to be their saviour instead.

(google is a wonderful thing):D

That means they were even luckier than we think.I mean....the first Final Fantasy was supposed to be one autotelic story because of its unsure future.A self existent game which was final.No sequels.That and the title Final Fantasy set each Final Fantasy to be a separate story in a separate world with its own characters.That kept the series fresh.Nice.
Actually I wonder why we should call it a series.The title stands only for the quality and the gameplay\'s general style being an evolution of the first final fantasy now.

You\'re thinking of Phantasy Star from th\' Sega Master System.

Developed by Sega, and it has 3 sequels and a spinoff now. (PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS-Online)

Actually, there are more Phantasy Stars than that and 3 is not really a sequel to 2...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
