What's wrong with making up words? Dictionaries and grammar hold us back I say!

I think spankey has it right...they just go on google and translate it to english through a computer :)
With a name like Smucker'sInfinite Undiscovery it has to be good.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Its pretty dumb, but there have been dumber names.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
It sounds cool to me actually. It rolls off the tongue quite nicely, and it probably makes more sense in the original Japanese.
Tease.
First word: Infinite... I'm tired of these words in a JRPG: Infinite, Eternal, Final, Last, Unlimited... They think it sounds mystical, i think it sounds depressing...
Second word: Undiscovery... That's not a word, but i don't complain about that because there are a lot of games that use invented words...
So my complain is basically with the first word, but it doesn't matter to me, i don't like at all the ridiculous change of name of the Wii, i really liked Revolution, but the name doesn't keep me from enjoying the few core games and casuals as well...

Fixed.
And I think it's a lame name when you think about it, but I'm with Squilliam and think it rolls off the tongue nicely. Just don't think too hard about the actual words...

It's a formula:
Superlative Metaphysical/Abstract/Undefinable
Final Fantasy
Eternal Sonata
Infinite Undiscovery
Last Odessey
Superlatives time measurement and undefinable experiences create a contradiction implying the depth of the subtext.
In other words: "Hey here's some of that over the top Japanese Anime-Style Story telling that roots itself in Japanese Folklore about gods, demons, creation, and destruction."

You really have to play the game to figure out if it has any meaning. I mean i didn't like "The World Ends With You" as a title until i played the game and it made so so much sense. Now its one of my favorite titles ever!!
