Poor FFXIV

[rianshima]

Hell, the original game was to be the last game published by Square before declaring bankruptcy back in the 80's. (Hence the "Final") I honestly doubt most of the so-called fanboys who are whining about how the franchise is going downhill had ever heard about the series or even cared until FF7 came out.

hmm i played ff3 3,4 and 6 before 7 so yah....

Was Final really meant to mean the last game? what was it called before that? just Fantasy?

Square was facing troubled times like the above poster stated and they were definitely considering bankruptcy, so the company decided to make their FINAL game, it was called Final Fantasy (we know it as Final Fantasy 1). The game was such a huge success it for the most part saved the company and laid the ground work for all the following Final Fantasy's.
