Square Enix Finally Kills Annoying Video Game Cliché

Years of doubt resolved

4 Sept 2008

Final Fantasy producer Shinji Hashimoto has finally laid to rest one of the most tedious of all video game clever-dick-o-pedant conversation starting clichés in the history of the art/commerce-form.

The conversation starter tends to go, "How can they call it 'Final' Fantasy when there's loads of them? I mean, Final Fantasy XIIIIIIIIIVIC! what's with that?!"

Thank the ancestors, that speaking to Gamasutra, Hashimoto states the following,"The term 'Final' in the title doesn't mean 'last,' but the teams behind it see it as a term for 'ultimate,' and as long as there are creators that are wanting to make Final Fantasy games, we will probably keep going."

Now, can we all move on please? Although, thinking about it this Naruto Ultimate Ninja then?
