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...
