rename FFII

[goombaman]

so i noticed there was a Final Fantasy 2 on the super nintendo, out of curiosity i checked it out and saw that it was Final Fantasy 4

i relise that when final fantasy 2 and 3 came out the US didn't get them so This super nintendo game was called 4 in Japan and 2 in the US. is the title an error or am i missing something, im still unclear on this whole trickery, all i know is that when they first came out, all we got were 1 4 6 7 and onwards

now im even more confused, i did some reasearch and what i understand is that 2 and 3 were never released in english, so how do we have them, can someone make sense of this for me?
