You'll trip balls so hard survival isn't guaranteed.

When the first one was in development, the lead designer was going leave the games industry and go back to university if it didnā€™t do well. In addition, SquareSoft was on the brink of bankruptcy, meaning this game could very well be the final game either of them were going to release.

The name was originally going to be Fighting Fantasy, but due to concerns over trademark conflicts with the roleplaying gamebook series of the same name, they needed to settle for something else. As the English word "Final" was well-known in Japan, Sakaguchi settled on that.

Now, why were they going to be fighting tictacs? That I don't don't know.
