I'm too lazy to look up Squaresoft's old name, but their games previous to Final Fantasy 1 failed pretty badly. Hironobu Sakaguchi (the father of the FF games) wanted to try one last game before Square went out of business. He decided to name their first take on RPG's "Final Fantasy" because he thought it'd be the company's "final" game. Final Fantasy hit off BIG time for Square, thus producing the incredible amount of sequels. Many people make fun of the series for its sequels because they're all named "Final" even though they don't know where the name came from!
