FFs 2, 3, and 5 were never released in English. FF1 was released as 1, FF4 was released as 2, and FF6 was released as 3. When Square moved from the SNES to the Playstation, they started numbering correctly and translating every game, prompting people to ask questions like "What happened to 4 through 6?"
IMO, the best of the unreleased games is 5, for the SNES. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm well into it. Though they were, as I said, never officially translated to English, you can expect to find a decent (but by no means perfect) fan translation of any of them.[/quote]
You deceptive guy... FF5 was eventually released here on the PSX with Final Fantasy Anthologies.
I didn't like it very much, personally. I think the best two were FF6 and 7... the rest really don't come close at all in my book.
