As part of the celebrations surrounding the 35th anniversary of the famous Final Fantasy franchise, Square Enix has unveiled a series of special interviews. This two-part series is both a celebration of this milestone and a tribute to the recent Pixel Remaster series. The first part of the interview aired on July 11, 2023, and featured prominent figures from the franchise, including creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, artist Kazuko Shibuya, and brand manager Yoshinori Kitase.
The interview started with Sakaguchi referring to a meeting with the developers and the people he plays FFXIV with, which Shibuya also joined. He humorously mentioned how they blamed the team for the lack of save points in FFIII’s last dungeon. Sakaguchi explained how he ended up apologizing for the development decision, showing his commitment to the players.
Around the eighth minute of the interview, the meaning of the name Final Fantasy has been addressed. Sakaguchi explained how the Fighting Fantasy title influenced their choice. He also mentioned that the team wanted a game name that could be similarly abbreviated with the Roman alphabet, as was the case with Dragon Quest and its abbreviation DQ. This is how the name FF was born. The band also took this opportunity to discuss and debunk the urban legends surrounding the title.
