The FF series has its share of confusion regarding the releases of the individual games. Most confusing of this is the existence of the Game Boy FF's, which are NOT Final Fantasy games at all, but actually members of other, almost-as-popular series, SaGa and Seiken Densetsu (a.k.a. Secret of Mana). I've included them in this page for the sake of completeness of information, but they will not be mentioned throughout the site. The reason they were given the FF name was, frankly, FF was Square's flagship series in the US, and they were leery of giving any game any name that didn't have FF in it. Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 2 was the first game which broke the barrier, and many others (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, etc.) followed.
Bahamut Lagoon was released 02/08/1996 on SNES in Japan only. It is not in this list because other than the name, and a couple of sprites used by lazy programmers, it has nothing to do with Final Fantasy.
