Looking across the front page, I noticed an awkward spelling in the description of the General Final Fantasy forum:

Got a topic that has to do with all of the Final Fantasys? Post it here!

Shouldn't that be Fantasies?

I remember discussing this in the past.

Maybe they did it because they didn't want to change the "Final Fanatasy" name, and just added an 's'. The proper word SHOULD be spelt 'fantasies' though.

Final Fantasy's if you're going to pluralize it.

Best to ignore it.

It used to say Final Fantasies, or this has been brought up before.

It's correct. It's a title. It should be, "Final Fantasy games", really.

No, you never ever EVER use apostrophes to make a plural! Grammar atrocity of the worst kind!!!!11

Since 'Final Fantasy' is a product name, and not just normal use of the word 'fantasy', it's OK to pluralise it as 'Fantasys'.

If you're talking about the Toyota Camry, and you want to mention a lot of them, they'd be Camrys, not Camries.
