Playing and beaten the game already...make me wonder that the name "Final Fantasy" doesnt aply to the game at all..  As mostly every knows that the games story line is like star wars...  If i would to give FFXII a new name....i would of call it Kingdom Wars...what do u all think...

I believe FFs games and all RPGs games should took place in a epic...time frame..

Right now Final Fantasy in general has been out for who-knows-how-long, and I don't think any other name would fit. A name "kingdom wars" as mentioned sounds pretty cool, but just for XII? To be honest I think the name fits in there just fine.

NO WAY!!!!

Final Fantasy is the name everyone knows and LOVES (atleast i love it )
and people for years have been saying " why call it Final Fantasy?? if they have so many sequals???"

this really bugs me, because anyone who plays Final Fantasy would KNOW that there are NO sequals...each new game to come out has a completly DIFFERENT storyline to it...so it IS a Final Fantasy...  (with the exeption of Final Fantasy X and X-2)

AND...I agree that MORE   RPG games should be set in those Epic Times, where there is no hi-tech weaponry, ships,buildings, etc...
That is exactly the reason why I love Final Fantasy 9 soo much... and Final Fantasy 12, actually makes me feel like im in the world of Gaia again...the landscapes, the towns, the cities, the races, everything is like a beefed up version of Gaia... I LOVE IT!!!

* I dont think too much of the storyline tho...I'm NOT a big fan of Political Plots...especially in Games *

It's not Final Fantasy because of whats in the game, it's Final Fantasy because of who made it. But, I see where you're coming from. And I think it's just a new direction to take the franchise in, it doesnt mean they have to change the whole name.

the first final fantasy was named that way because the develloper was almost broke and they just wanted to make this final game which became a succes and the rest you know

Final Fantasy is one of the most ironic franchises in gaming.  I wonder if the original creators back in th eighties thought the first Final Fantasy would be final?

I don't see how XII is anything like Star Wars other than a couple battle cinemas.  Hell, Star Wars has more story than XII does lol.  Anyways... No, I think the name is fine.

The name Final Fantasy should be dismantled. Why? Because kids want every new installment to play like VII or X. If the names were different, expectations would be so low that when the game comes out, more people will be pleased. Every game from X and up has been so different that it warrants new names.

I beat Final Fantasy XII last night. It was sooooo good, but the last boss battles were too easy. All I did for the latter half of the game is have my strongest characters walk up to the bosses and keep doing physical attacks. What levels did everyone complete the game at? Half my characters were under level 50.

i think the names fine because fo all the components like moogles and chocobos.  I think it mgiht ahve been iteresting if it had a different title but final fantasy is still a great name.
