about final fantasy

Im getting confused. If final fantasy 5 was never relesed and final fantasy 6 was supposed to be final fantasy 3 then what happend to the real final fantasy 6. Was there one.

The situation is this...

Final Fantasy 1 was originally released for the NES in the US and Japan.

Final Fantasy 2, 3 were released originally in Japan only.

When FF4 was released in the US it was given the title of FF2 because only FF1 had been released previously there, and apparently they didn't want to 'confuse' the US market.

FF5 was never orginally released in the US.

They followed this up with FF6 being released under the name FF3 in the US.

It was only upon the release of FF7 that things got back to normal when plans were made to reissue the old FF's. Incidentally, FF7 was the first to be released in PAL terrotries

So to summarise

Japanese name = USA name
Final Fantasy I = Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy II = not released
Final Fantasy III = not released
Final Fantasy IV = Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy V = not released
Final Fantasy VI = Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy VII = Final Fantasy VII

Hope this clears things up...

FF I & II will be available in April for PSOne in a package called Final Fantasy Origins Link to game on EB.

FF V & VI were available in a package called Final Fantasy Anthology (I think - FF Chronicles contained IV & Chrono Cross) for PSOne.

Still no sign of III though.

Its so confusing how they did it. They should have just released all the games in the US with the same name. It would have been easier for stupid guys like me to understand.

righty... FFIII was scheduled for release on the Wonderswan Colour (like FF1,2 and 4), but as Square have supposedly left Bandai for dead, the WSC version was reportedly shifted to the GBA (which would potentially mean it would get here - outside japan - eventually)... but after a mention in Famitsu about it, nothing more has been heard.

just for the hell of it, i'll point out that that Final Fantasy Adventure (Gameboy) is really "Seiken Densetsu 1" or, the game that comes before "Secret of Mana" on the SNES - its shall be rereleased on the GBA very soon, so who knows what will happen regarding its name if it gets outside Japan...
Also, the Final Fantasy Legends were actually the first games in the "Sa-Ga" series... clearly, Square felt that they'd be more popular under the "Final Fantasy" brandname.

I wonder how I will be able to enjoy all the FF games? All I know is I definately won't be able to get all of them for the systems they are made for.

That's why I was afraid to mention it. But yeah that's what I was thinking about.
