Hi all, I'm trying to download all the Final Fantasy game series for my Game Boy Emulator. I in fact haven't played them before. So I was just wondering, how come there's no Final Fantasy III for Game Boy Advanced, but there's an IV? Can someone enlighten me on this?

From what I understand the Final Fantasy games on GBA are ports of the versions made for Wonderswan. The Final Fantasy 3 game for Wonderswan was cancelled (I believe because of the failure of the system) and therefore could not be ported.

So they never made the effort to release released the third installment of the game and instead published the fourth one?

It would seem so, though I'm not sure why four came out first. Just a development thing. The team for four got it finished quicker.

Actually, what we know, now, as FFVI, was originally III when it came out. However, for some reason, they changed it and made FFIII for NDS. Oh well, they are both really fun....

I am the conqueror of darkness.
I have saved the land of Hyrule countless times. The people of the Mushroom Kingdom worship at my feet. Gigyas, himself, is even afraid of my wrath.I use children and fat shroomers to do my bidding: Ridding the universe of all evil, no matter the odds. Labrynna, Johto, Kanto, Netopia, Electropia, and many other lands are in my debt, for I have used my courage, wisdom, and power to save them all from the clutches of darkness. But no, that is not all I have done. I have also saved other galaxies. I defeated Malak in all his rage and at the peak of his power, I turned Bastila back from the dark side after she had fallen. And I destroyed the Star Forge, that great omen of pure darkness. I am the Bane of Evil, and the Protector of Good.

I will begin an attempt at explaining that statement. Final Fantasy III is NOT IV (or is it VI), neither is it disguied as IV (or is it VI).

FFIII is the only FFIII game released in europe and it's only for the DS.

A history lesson

V has the value of 5, or five, I has the value of 1, or one...
If you put an I before a V it becomes four, or 4, IV.
If you put it after, it becomes VI, or six, or 6.

How'd I do?

actually I'm not sure due to Japanese songs sometimes being unrecognisable

this one happens to be one of them songs (blocked why'd no one tell me?) here's a new song

Square Enix has released Final Fantasy 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.. but not entirely sure why 3 was not ported as well
As neko put it, when the FF series was originally released in the US, number 4 was 2, and number 6 was 3; 2,3 and 5 were not originally released in the US.. just to clarify
