Final Fantasy VI was originally released outside Japan under what name?

  • Final Fantasy II
  • Final Fantasy VI
  • Final Fantasy V
  • Final Fantasy III
Explanation

Final Fantasy VI was originally released outside Japan under the name Final Fantasy III because previous installments in the series had not been localized for international markets. Due to the limited availability of earlier games, the developers decided to skip ahead and release Final Fantasy IV as Final Fantasy II, and then release Final Fantasy VI as Final Fantasy III to avoid confusion among players who were not familiar with the missing installments. Therefore, Final Fantasy VI became known as Final Fantasy III outside Japan until subsequent releases in the series caught up with the numbering.
