Ya know I lost track a long time ago which of the FF games before 7 were which because at one time I read that when Sony bought the rights from Nintendo they remade several of them and released them in the wrong order. 3 became 5 and vice versa or something. Not to mention all the remakes and ports SE has done I have lost track of which versions the PC versions are ports of. Pretty sure FF4 and the after years is an IOS port due to the lack of challenge dungeons in both and other minor differences to the PSP version I am used to.

Hopefully the sprites will be redone, but first I think it will be transfered to SNES/GBA sprites like FFV.

Sorry, you're right about the sequence being off, but the reasons and the numbers are wrong. The only reason why the numbers were different for the western audience, is that they just didn't release them. They instead just filled the gap with the next numbers in sequence.

1-3 were on NES, with only the first one being released in the west.
4-6 were on SNES, with only 4 and 6 being released (renamed 2 and 3).

When 7 came out they had planned to release Final Fantasy Anthologies and Final Fantasy Chronicles which made them correct the sequence. This is why all newly released version of 2 is 4 and 3 is 6.

It had nothing to do with Sony, but instead just a sales tactic.

They did this with a lot of games released overseas. For example Final Fantasy Adventure on gameboy is actually the prequel to Secret of Mana called Seiken Densetsu, and Secret of Mana was Seiken Densetsu 2. Seiken Densetsu 3 was never released in the west, etc.

sometimes these people do confusing stuff that has seemingly no reason to it and it just confuses customers would have been a shorter post and as correct as you are it would still have been just as correct. Though I honestly believe it's doing confusing crap like that that loses them so many customers but then every game company does it. :(

Like when somebody releases a movie that was a book first and changes the story. Eragon for example

This port looks disgusting.
Hint. Look at the pillars. https://steamhost.cn/cdn_akamai_steamstatic_com/steam/apps/382900/ss_a2efbdd3419ac6cb333249148c6eda669f7fbed5.1920x1080.jpg?t=1449595520

This is why it need a rework like the other Final Fantasy that is an iOS port. First people will bring the previous graphics then we got newly made ones by artists.

Moved thread to FFVI Subforum.
