...Square Soft (current Square Enix) created the series, and Sony is more up-to-date; however, Nintendo helped Square Soft develope, fund, and sell/suply the beginning of the series.
Who should own copyright to the name?

Well, of course it would go to Square Enix; but who actually began the "Final Fantasy" series?
...Or, who boosted Square Enix' productions of Final Fantasy; what company grew it to be able to be so popular?

...Sony and Nintendo should stop making remakes of these games...
...however, I think Sony should not make remakes of games Nintendo has made!

I think the only Square-Enix games Nintendo has any copyrights on are the ones they co-produced, which would be Super Mario RPG and perhaps Crystal Chronicles and some others... Anyway, speaking of which, the two companies need to team up again to make Super Mario RPG 2.

Determining which half of the series is more important is also hard. Most people here will pick the first half, being Nintendo fans and prefering gameplay over movies. I think the sales numbers support the second half, though, especially Final Fantasy VII.
I'd kind of like to see a Super Mario RPG 2 as well. I used to shoot that request down because I'm perfectly happy with Nintendo's Mario RPGs, but with Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi reaching five games in total, it could be an interesting change of pace.

I'll admit that I haven't played the Paper Mario games yet (I will eventually), but I really love the Mario and Luigi series, especially the first one. However, they don't seem as good to me as Super Mario RPG for SNES did. They didn't have as good of a story or as interesting characters I thought, plus the DS one was disappointingly short and just seemed rushed compared to the first one.
Nintendo is good at many things, but I think in the RPG genre Square-Enix is the king and they both should be working together to make the best Mario RPG games.
It was such a shame they split... If the N64 had been CD based it probably would never have happened and video game history would be very different today. I bet EVERY FF game would have been exclusively on Nintendo systems if that had been the case.

So...If Square Enix did not release the series for Nintendo game consles, would Sony have the series?

I think things are pretty okay the way they're turning out you know...

But I do think nintendo did alot more then sony, since it localized the games and published them in the west
All sony did was give them lots of money to stay exclusive and buy stock

I guess Rad Racer does sound like a not-first-choice name...

This has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, so take this chat elsewhere!

Rad Racer 2 had really cool songs in it, anybody remember them? I still get them stuck in my head sometimes.

Depends on the market situation. If MS took 80% of the market FF would've been on the XBox.

To sum this story up before it gets to something like cows, Final Fantasy games kill old ladies. All of them. You should respect your elders.
