Originally, Final Fantasy II and III for the Famicom and V for the Super Famicom were not released in America, so Square of America decided to change the numbers of the US releases to hide this fact. Final Fantasy IV became II and VI became III. Starting with Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation, it was decided to drop the pretense and refer to all subsequent games by their true numbering, leading to an apparent jump over 3 games. This has been a source of endless confusion, with many American fans continuing to refer to this day to IV and VI by the original American numbers. To solve this, many fans use the disambiguating suffixes us and j for American numbering and Japanese numbering respectively, e.g. FF3us or FF6j.

All the games in the series occur in different universes and were traditionally unrelated, although individual characters would sometimes appear in later games, often as a hidden character. In recent years this policy of non-continuous games has been relaxed somewhat, as evidenced by the direct sequel Final Fantasy X-2. Final Fantasy VII has also spawned several direct sequels featuring concepts and characters from the original game, linked together under the title Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.
