Is Final Fantasy II for the SNES different then the Final Fantasy II for the PSP?
I just recently learned that they made a PSP version of Final Fantasy II, however the story line seems to be different then what I remember from the SNES... Are they infact two different games, and if so, who's stupid idea was this?
The two are completely different games. Final Fantasy II for the Super Nintendo in the United States is actually Final Fantasy IV. Square Enix (called Squaresoft at the time) never released the original versions of Final Fantasy II and III in North America. When they developed Final Fantasy IV, they did not want North American gamers to know that some games in the series had been held back, so they renamed it Final Fantasy II. Final Fantasy V also was not released in North America, so Final Fantasy VI was renamed Final Fantasy III when it was released here.
By the time that Final Fantasy VII was developed for the PlayStation, it had become well known that some games in the series had not been released on this side of the Pacific, so Square Enix kept the original name. The popularity of that game meant that every main Final Fantasy game since then saw a North American release, and the company has retained the original numbering. The real Final Fantasy II has been remade for the PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation Portable, and iPhone, and Final Fantasy IV maintained its real name when it was remade for the PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS.

Few new games online have seized the interest of the entire gaming world than the several parts of the Final Fantasy saga. Undoubtedly the fundamental franchise of Square-Enix, the Final Fantasy series has never failed to dishearten its rapaciously faithful followers with each and every game in the long running history of the title.
And currently, everyone keenly awaits the introduction of the new games online 13th chapter of Final Fantasy.
What was formerly advertised as a Sony Playstation 3 special is recently announced as a dual release for the above-mentioned PS3 and Microsoft's greatly successful console engine, the Xbox 360, at least for territories remote to Japan.
This new games Final Fantasy XIII begins in the hanging island-paradise of Cocoon in a futuristic field highly influenced by divine-like beings known as the Fal'cie. However, an opposite power, recognized as the Pulse, loiters below the Cocoon, scattering danger, obscurity and despair. Both the Cocoon and the Pulse are driven by their own crystals - high energy sources which have become a core in every Final Fantasy game - which in turn developed to core points of the looming clash which will act as the setting for the player's adventures.
Excluding the crystals, common concepts just like other new games online are sure to return, similar to a character called Cid, flying ships, chocobos, leveling themes, beckoning and summoned fiends similar to the Ifrit and Bahamut, forceful fiends similar to Ultima, and destructive spells similar to fire, fira and firaga.
In this new games online, the persons behind the pictures are likewise just as recognizable. Motomu Toriyama, the director of Final Fantasy X-2 and the director and setting writer for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, will be the chief director of Final Fantasy XIII. Eiji Fujii, the movie director of Final Fantasy XII, will look after the fantastic CGGs of the 13th chapter. Isamu Kamikokuryo, who shared art directing duties for Final Fantasy XII, will have the lead for Final Fantasy XIII. And Kazumi Kobayashi and Yoshiki Kashitani, veterans of earlier Final Fantasy games, will return as the primary programmers for the latest release.
There is a lot to be excited about this new video game Final Fantasy XIII. The battle system is truly one of a kind. Gone are the arduous random encounters as well as the slow turn based system of earlier games. Final Fantasy XIII will employ an active encounter system that will act like a real time encounter system, much similar to the hack and slash games of today. The illustrations are said to be the top, not only when it comes to other entries in the installments, but also when equated to other games for this generation of engines.
This new video game Final Fantasy XIII will be issued in Japan by 2009, and a US issue is certain to follow suit a few months thereafter.
