Here is the reason why....
Hironobu Sakuguchi talked about it many times already,
Its posted at the playonline site.
But i`ll post it here too.

(Quote from Hironobu Sakuguchi)
There was a time where I lost all confidence after switching over to the Famicom; I wasn’t satisfied with anything I was creating. I thought of retiring from the game industry, and so I created Final Fantasy as my final project. That’s why the title incorporates the word, "final", but for me, the title- Final Fantasy reflects my emotional state at the time and it feels as if time has stopped. They say that technology wise, it’s good to keep going, and each time, we give it our all and expend our skills and energy until we can go no further; this is what I consider to be the final fantasy. The stories and characters change each time. This is because stories have a tendency to limit the world and I think by changing these aspects, we try to show our full potential and create different material for a new title; in a way, you can say that it serves as a type of challenge for us.
