Is the name “Final Fantasy XIV” false advertising, because it’s not the final one? Sometimes sequels carry over residual names from the original properties that no longer apply

Summary

Sakaguchi says that even before figuring out exactly what to call their ambitious fantasy role-playing game, the team had already decided they wanted something that could be easily abbreviated using the Roman alphabet . They were also set on something that could be condensed into a four-syllable abbreviated version in Japanese, and FF (pronounced “efu efu” in Japanese), fit both criteria.

Given the genre the game fell into, making one of those Fs “fantasy” was a no-brainer. But what about the other one? Actually, “Final” wasn’t the team’s first choice, as Sakaguchi says the initial idea was to call the game Fighting Fantasy. However, they had to nix that plan when they discovered there was already a board game called Fighting Fantasy, which was in turn based on a series of British gamebooks. So with Fighting Fantasy out of the running, Sakaguchi and his cohorts settled on Final Fantasy. “To be sure, we had our backs to the wall when we were developing Final Fantasy,” Sakaguchi told the audience, “but really, anything that started with an F would have been fine for the title.”

Final Fantasy’s title denomination comes from a position to fulfil an acronymic title, first and foremost. What’s your excuse?

I mean making a game hydra-optional, the ideal form that you are advertising would surely have both hydras & non-hydras. There is a risk of all one or all the other occuring, yes, but i think it’s deceptive to name it that its like if there was a game show where cats & dogs can sign up to play jeopardy but theyre all cats youre gping to ask wjere the dogs are and the hosts will say none signed up but youre going to tell them to fix the show

You could very easily rebrand with a distinguishing subtitle so as to separate this game from its previous creators and their controversial platform.

But what would that do to sales! It’s risky!
