Final Fantasy IV was released in America as Final Fantasy II, while Final Fantasy VI was released as Final Fantasy III. Tracking the early parts of the Final Fantasy series can be confusing, as only three of the first six games made it to North America, where the numbers were changed so that the US releases were consecutive numbers. Since then, Final Fantasy is widely-considered the gold standard of JRPGs in the west, and is held in such regard that the English localizations are now developed concurrently with the original production. It is still widely regarded as one of the best RPGs (eastern or otherwise) of all time. The series was fairly-obscure for a long time in the west, before exploding in popularity with the release of Final Fantasy VII, which exposed most people to the JRPG genre for the first time.
