Final Fantasy 2 was initially only released in Japan, just like
Final Fantasy 3. In North America people also recieved a version of Final Fantasy 2, but that was in fact what is now known as
Final Fantasy IV. Square decided to not release Final Fantasy 2 and 3 in the United States/ PAL countries, but decided to release
Final Fantasy IV anyway, as it was a great succes. Trying to avoid confusion and missing numbers they simply renamed IV to II, and VI to III, thus making it even more confusing!

Just like with Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 2 was also re-released in the Dawn of Souls on the gameboy. They' ve made slight tweaks to the colors on the gameboy, as well as changing some battle settings. You can' t turn off "ineffective hits" like before, and Stats decrease and HP growth by recieving damage has been removed. As interesting as each of this is, the only good change about this game is another addition, which comes in the form of a bonus game. After beating the Empereror you can play with all your deceased characters again, in the Soul of Rebirth mode, facing each powerfull opponent again in death.
