Why is there IIII and IV?

by **Sage Of The Wise** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 4:42 pm

To me it seemed that the final fantasies without Roman Numerals were all pretty boring.

What about FFT?

Why is FFIV called FFII in some places
also FFVI is called FFIII does anyone know why this is?

It's US/PAL and the Japanese numbers. They're different. Allow me to graphic-ize.

Japan | US/PAL
-------------------------------
FF1 (NES) | FF1 (NES)
FF2 (NES) | Not released
FF3 (NES) | Not released
FF4 (SNES) = FF2 (SNES)
FF5 (SNES) | Not released
FF6 (SNES) = FF3 (SNES)

Of course, they dumped the number switching thingy for FF7, and susequently released FF: Origins to rectify this.

Ahh so there are more of them...... wow what does that bring the total to? 16, 17 or 18?

Those are all of them to my knowledge. I think I might be missing at least one, but I'm not sure.

I think that's everything... And in conclusion, FF sucks.

by **EmperorJeramyu** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 8:48 pm

Flawless reasoning.

Personally, I think most of the games are pretty fine, I mean FF7 was revolutionary in terms of scope/magnitude/aesthetics for the time it was released, but that's pretty much the only aspect that it actually worthy of all the praise it gets. Otherwise it was pretty standard elsewhere, and certainly over-rated in some areas.

What do you mean it was overrated? it had the best story out of all of them.

EDIT: Would'nt Kingdom hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories be considered Final Fantasy? It had FF Characters in it.

by **EmperorJeramyu** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 9:27 pm

You could say that (I prefer FF3/6), but the translation and localization was awful. I had trouble understanding what they hell people were talking about my first time through. It seemed like they were just dictating into thin air sometimes.

by CJ » Fri Jul 15, 2005 9:32 pm

FFVI/FF3? which did you play the ROM or the playstation version
because I've noticed that the translation is a lot better in the playstation version. Or am I thinking of FFV?

Also Final Fantasy Anthology which included 5 & 6

Really? Over here FF:Anthology was FFIV and FFV. FFVI was sold seperately.
