Article: Final Fantasy’s legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu doesn’t have the ‘strength’ to score a full video game again

While this is an old article, I found this part very amusing.

During last year’s Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival, Sakaguchi revealed that he originally rejected Uematsu’s soundtrack for the first Final Fantasy in an attempt to get the composer to make the songs “improved”, saying they went “in the left ear, out the right ear”. When Uematsu submitted a revised playlist a week later, Sakaguchi expressed his delight at the “wonderful” score - only for Uematsu to reveal he had changed the order of the songs, but not the actual music.

There is a legendary myth that has been shared around the playground (at least since I was a kid) that Final Fantasy is named thus because it was going to be the "final" game Squaresoft could publish before its bankruptcy, and the game sold so well, it saved the company from shutting its doors.

This is not true.

The origin of the name Final Fantasy began with the letters FF (pronounced EFF-OO EFF-OO in Japanese). The abbreviation, and how cool it sounded, were realized before deciding on its meaning. First the team decided on Fighting Fantasy but then reconsidered due to trademark concerns with another RPG. Sakaguchi said that due to this title being possibly his last in the gaming industry, they decided on the name Final Fantasy.

I apologize for ruining the fun but I needed to myth bust some of the reviews on here hahaha.
