2 or 4? 4 Japanese was 2 in the US. 6 Japanese was 3 in the US. We actually got robbed of a couple of gems there. 2&5 were pretty good if the translation I found was accurate.

Actual 2. Here in Europe, the first game we got was 7 so when the older ones were later released, the original numbering stayed.

Technically the first game you got was Mystic Quest, the half-parody FF For Dummies game. Except it was titled Mystic Quest Legend. Because Square already used Mystic Quest for Seiken Densetsu on Game Boy - released in the US as Final Fantasy Adventure. But it's not a Final Fantasy game; it's fucking Sword Of Mana. PAL regions did get Secret Of Mana by name, and later Legend Of Mana on PSX... not to be confused with The Final Fantasy Legend on Game Boy, which is actually SaGa.
