So we all know that the name "Final Fantasy", whilst sounding quite cool, is ultimately irrelevant to the games themselves, even the original. The meaning of the title is entirely rooted in the real life problems of Square at the time, but of course, those haven't been a problem since the release of the original about a decade before I was even born.

In addition, the games work off of no consistent inter-game canon or Universe, so their connections to each other are almost non-existent.

Thus, the idea of this thread is to come up with alternate titles for the games in the series. Extra points if the titles have that classic Japanese Word Salad approach, especially if said word salad would make sense if you played the game (think The World Ends With You or Star ocean here).

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it. =P
Hmmm, interesting thread idea.

Penultimate fantasy. That should work, seeing as it isn't really final. Or maybe Final Fantasy:The Quest for More Money

That's kind of the point though, and why games like X-2 were such a problem for the community. Each game was supposed to be that world's FINAL story. Or Fantasy, if you will.

Well, maybe "supposed to be" is a little less accurate than "perceived as," but either way, it was always rather relevant.

Anyway, on topic....Ummm...Final Fantasy X: We'll Show Hideo Kojima!

...You know, because of the tendency to long and frequent cutscenes? Yeah? Oh never mind....

Come on, if Notch can get sued by Bethesda over use of "scrolls," You know Spaceballs: The game will sue over that.

Silly Names:

FFIX: Princess Diaries
FFX: I'm Only Sleeping, the Beatles
FFXII: License and Registration, please.
FFXIII: Around the World in 2 Corridors


"Proper" Names

FFIX: .... This is hard, actually. "Pilfered Truth"..? Sounds lame, to me.
FFX: "Apocryphal Yevon" or maybe something ambiguous like "Awake to Naught". Even better, "God's Sin".
FFXII: Uh... hmm.... "Judgment"? "The Empire Strikes Back"?
FFXIII: Hmm... "Inhumanity"?
