Post subject: The origin of the 'Final Fantasy' name

I was up all night last night and I happened to come across a show
called 'Icons' on TechTv. The show basically talks about the icons of
video gaming. Last night's focus was on Nobuo Uematsu, better known as
the composer for the Final Fantasy series. During the show, they
mentioned where the 'Final Fantasy' name came from. This might not be
new to some of you, but I have to admit that as a longtime gamer, it
was news to me.
Apparently, back in the 80's, Square had been developing a lot of games
only they weren't much in comparison to what the other developers were
making. In other words, originality was not strong with Square. It
wasn't long before Square was in financial trouble. With the company's
future in doubt, Square developed what they thought would be their
final game. Their final fantasy. Hence the name. |

I kind of like the channel. I suppose people don't like the new version
of the channel but I find myself watching it quite a bit.

That's nice, but they do NOT write any of their reviews.

I think Morgan Webb is quite beautiful though I'm sure I'd dislike her
in real life. She seems like a girl who is constantly sarcastic.

That appears to agree with the info on Wikipedia (under Overview):
