well, FF III (US) was actually FF VI in Japan.. the one right before FF7.

FF II (US) was actually FFIV in Japan.

I don't know if this adds to the confusion, but I had FF1 and FF2 on the same GBA cartridge.  I bought it here in the US and FF1 was fantastic.  It had improved graphics and something like four new "castles" you could try to work your way through.  I was pretty burned out by FF1 so I only got a little into FF2 and sold the game on eBay.  FF3 was just released on the DS and should be easy to find in any retailer (Target).  So that is all I know about FF, it may be wrong, but those were the ones I bought (FF1/2 GBA, considered buying FF3 for DS, but got burned out on FF1/2).

Awesome, thanks! So I can get FF and FF2 on one GBA cart, and FFIII on a DS card.

Yep, but finding FF1/2 may be a little tough, that one has been out for a LONG time.  Long enough to have gone on sale at Toys R Us for $9.99 and shortly thereafter vanish.  But if you look around online inventories (Best Buy, Circuit City, Sears, Wal-Mart) someone may still have a few copies.  eBay is a pretty safe bet too.  FFIII is still being delivered to stores, so that shouldn't be a problem at all.  Good luck.

I saw at Target tonight, Final Fantasy 6 (3-U.S. - "Terra") for sale as a GameBoyAdvance game.

I saw Final Fantasy 4 (2-U.S. "Cecil") for sale as a DS game. (Scott please confirm this, we saw that, right?)

At least that's what I think I remember seeing. 

I'm starting to find myself going to Target if I can't find the games at our local EBgames store.

The ONLY reason I still go to the EBgames here is because we know the manager-lady there (who gives nice hugs). She gave me a deal on a used GameCube for $60 when the REST of the used GCs were being sold for $90.  Me likes her lots. 

Otherwise I'd be hitting up the Target for availability reasons.  Try seeing what Target's online store has.

Every reference from herein i make about a Final Fantasy game is going to be it's Japanese release number.

I believe FF 1 and 2 are a DS game, but Scott could answer that for sure, since he has it.

But I do swear I saw Final Fantasy 6 (terra, etc) as a GBA game, cause it was on the right side of the huge display case with the other GBA games... then Scott pointed out Final Fantasy 4 (Cecil) on the left side with the other DS games.

Only it doesn't have Final Fantasy II.

This link is the Final Fantasy 1 and 2 that I had.  I personally don't give a fuck about Japan releases, because I live in the US.  FF1/2 are on GBA and were released at least a year or two ago.  They are the ones that were released on the NES and they updated the graphics and added a castle or two.  You got it right in the link.  That is FF1 and 2 on a GBA cartridge.  I don't know, nor care, what release that is from Japan.

They just released FFIII on DS.  You can still find it in the stores.  I don't know, nor care, what number that was in Japan, because we live in the US.  It is pretty obvious that they want Americans to enjoy Final Fantasy in the order 1/2 on GBA then 3 on DS.

When you start getting into international release dates/games, it gets real messy, real fast.

no... i have that Dawn of Souls. its an upgraded Final Fantasy and FF2 (JAP).

Final Fantasy 4 (2 in US) is the one with Kain, Cecil, Tellah and a certain 'spoony bard'.

a Super Nintendo.

Keeping numbers and countries out of it was a good idea.  Hope you get what game you want squared away.  Good luck.

there's no way to sneak "Enix" in there..

Those lying, slanty-eyed bastards.... >_<

LOL... may be.

"Jander's hero", huh??

I'm thinking about getting FFIV and VI for the GBA/DS.  i miss those games.. and, honestly, i never played FFIV (FF2 in US) all the way through.
