Was named cos it was a creator's Final Fantasy before he left
the gaming industry on how future rpg should be like
Final Fantasy was made in 1987 by Hironubu Sakaguchi and was
actually made as a farewell "present" to Square Co., Ltd. He felt
that the gaming world was going in circles and that no-one wanted
to take any chances with a new type of game. So he decided to quit
the buisness and start a new career doing something completely
different, maybe become a fisherman. But before he could do this he
needed to prove to both himself and the rest of the world that the
age of groundbreaking games were not over. He sat down and worked
over a long period in secret on his last project ever. His last
dream. His Final Fantasy. And so the name was created. Final
Fantasy was a single man's last wish for proving that new things
could still be made. And so far every single FF game has improved
the gaming world in ways no-one could imagine. Every game has
introduced something new, either in terms of graphic, gameplay,
voices & music, engine... You name it, Final Fantasy has always
been the first to go new ways. And that is how it should be. The
moment Hironubu Sakaguchi feels the games are copying themselves he
is going to quit and become a fisherman.
