There's the flaw in your logic.

Square Soft made roughly a dozen games before Final Fantasy 1. Just because it was the first Final Fantasy doesn't mean it was the first Square Soft game (do you see the flaw in your logic?). The problem with the previous titles was that they weren't pulling in enough profit. Final Fantasy 1 was their last hope to regain profitability before folding.

When it comes to importance to Square Soft as a company, Final Fantasy 1 is the final say in "This is where our success began."

 It was named Final Fantasy because they expected it to be their last game right?

I've heard that before but never from a credible source so I treat that more like a myth than a fact.  ^_^
