(Redirected from Japanese ordering)
The Final Fantasy series was originally created in Japan. When its games were brought to America, some were ommitted or renumbered.
In the American versions:
- Final Fantasy I was released under the same name for the NES.
- Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III were not released.
- Final Fantasy IV was released as Final Fantasy II for the SNES.
- Final Fantasy V was not released.
- Final Fantasy VI was released as Final Fantasy III for the SNES.
- All the proceeding Final Fantasy games were released with their original numbers (VII and onwards).
Recent re-releases of the Final Fantasy games in America follow the original numbering system and include Final Fantasy II, III, and V.
