Final Fantasy Geekery

So, since playing Chrono Trigger, I've been really into turn-based games and I picked up FF III and FF IV for the DS as well. Console games have so enthralled me that I'm not doing the MMORPG thing as much, but that will probably change in the future.

Anyway, when we were at the store and buying the games, Cody was trying to figure out which of them had this song that he'd liked from one of the Final Fantasy games he'd played before. Ty even tried to help us figure it out, but we never could get it straight. I think, however, that I have figured it out.

Based on this ordering which I found online (the left is the Japan title, the right is the North American release):

Final Fantasy I - Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy II - N/A
Final Fantasy III - N/A
Final Fantasy IV - Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy V - N/A
Final Fantasy VI - Final Fantasy III

Final Fantasy VII and up were released with the correct number in North America.

Now, we're getting a re-release (sometimes a first release) of all of these games in North America, mostly on the DS or the PSP, and they are using the correct Japanese order for numbering. This means a lot of confusion for those used to the original releases.

Based on this and the fact that Ty thought the song came from Final Fantasy III, it seems likely that the song was from Final Fantasy VI.

Yay for confusion being (hopefully) resolved!
