* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'' was so named because Squaresoft originally wanted to call it ''Fighting Fantasy'', but couldn't due to copyright issues. So they changed the first word and published it. According to Hironobu Sakaguchi (who also influenced the title), it was intended to be his "final" game before leaving the industry, but subsequent games in the series kept the name despite having nothing to do with the story of other games in the series, eventually becoming the Squaresoft flagship series.
