I just realized I hadn't read anything but the first page of posts before I posted the first time. =o
To clarify some things I've seen, first of all, the game that Dark Phoenix was talking about that had the ugliest characters of any FF game has got to be Final Fantasy 3. (Not the SNES one we know and love, but the actual FF3 on NES. Ah yes, the game with the Onion Kid characters.
)
I wish we could go back in time and actually fix the f'ing releases and stuff.
Final Fantasy (NES)
Final Fantasy 2 (NES, was never released outside of Japan until recently on the FF Origins collection for Playstation)
Final Fantasy 3 (NES, Never released outside of Japan, thank God.)
Final Fantasy 4 (SNES, there are 4 versions of this game. In Japan there was the original version, an easy version which had numerous items and monsters and such removed, and the original release we got outside of Japan, Final Fantasy 2 on the SNES, which was a hacked up, super censored, story removed, more items and stuff removed, hack job of a game translation from the Easy Version of the Japanese versions! Our release was horrible. The 4th release is part of the FF Chronicles set, which is actually a direct translation of the original Japanese FF4. Go play it for 5 minutes and you'll know more background and story then you ever got from playing the FF2 SNES Version.)
Final Fantasy 5 (SNES, was not released outside of Japan until Final Fantasy Anthology on the Playstation.)
Final Fantasy 6 (SNES, released as Final Fantasy 3 SNES outside of Japan. This one didn't get hacked up too much actually, just a few censors here and there.)
Final Fantasy 7+ Everyone gets them. Yay! No more confusion from this point on!
