Ok but can you name 30 games that you've beaten all from separate series? Because I actually couldn't

That was actually pretty tough! I tried to avoid "related" series too (like 2D vs. 3D Mario, Mario vs. Yoshi, etc.)
You smell 35 to 45 years old.
Most EA sports games, like FIFA or whatever they call themselves.
Call of Duties
But are they really different games?
I have never played a FF game but atleast to me, an outsider, they all look different from each other, maybe I am wrong.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
(My favorite fact is that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the 19th game in the series)
Final Fantasy is like Black Mirror, there are common themes, plot points, and names that persist throughout the series. However no two numbered titles share the same worldbuilding, lore, and characters.
It's like what happened with Quake I-IV but on steroids. Very different games held together by a promise of what emotions you'd expect.
X is still my favorite.
I prefer Wayland.
I hope it gets a remake like VII.
What needs to be remade? It has a very purpose-built battle system, unlike 9 (for example), which used the same system the games had had since 4.
What needs to be remade? Nothing; I'd just like to see updated graphics, a couple tweaks in the story here and there, and maybe a few tweaks to the sphere grid.
It's a great game, I just wouldn't mind seeing it get upgraded a bit.
Me: finishes final fantasy
Square: releases final fantasy 2
Me: those bastards lied to me
The name is a bit silly but I love the story behind it.
For the uninformed: When Square was developing FF, the story goes that the company was facing bankruptcy and that this would be their last game. It ended up being a hit and the rest of history.
Supposedly and alternatively, it may have been so named as the designer's (Hironobu Sakaguchi) last shot in the game industry and he had resolved to stop if it didn't work.
Either way, I like it.
As interesting as it is, thats actually a common misconception. It wasn't due to facing bankruptcy and years later Sakaguchi gave a different account from his supposed last effort at making a game.
This Famitsu article details it as such because they hoped it would be abbreviated as FF because it sounded good in Japanese. Their initial name was Fighting Fantasy but that had potential trademark issues, so they settled on Final Fantasy. Apparently they also didn't care so much about what it was and any words that abbreviated to FF would work.
I like the more recent story as it gives some certainty to the series from the beginning, but I suspect it was a mixture of both Sakaguchis possible last hurrah and wanting a "cool" name.
I like to think there's a better alternate universe somewhere, in which Square made the correct decision, and named it "Final-er Fantasy".
