I have a friend who still gets it wrong and is genuinely confused when I say FFII is a terrible game.

"I learned the bass line from Final Fantasy II" STILL bothers me.

It's FFIV, dammit.

When you've heard it that way throughout your childhood it's hard to change.

If it's just in passing I don't mind, but if we're actually discussing the games then I will correct them

and yeah, you'd think a nerd as nerdy as Scott Pilgrim would know the difference

But since I've played II and III it's confusing.

Doesn't bug me unless they don't give context, because then I'm confused.

Not as much as when people try to call Mega Man characters by their Japanese names.

don't quite see why not. there was a proper name for a thing, the thing got a slightly different name that the west adopted. sure it isn't a numerical analogy, but it is close enough.

if you want something an inch more analogous; super mario bros 2

Yamcha and Krillin don't suddenly skip from 3 to 7 while pretending that 2, 3, and 5 don't exist.

I've heard people say FFII/IIIj to clarify, but it doesn't really help when someone just says FFII/III. I say that since they've all been out in the West for years, just call them by the proper numbers.

Yamcha and Krillin have always been called "Yamcha" and "Krillin" in the west though; Square-Enix officially refers to them as FFIV and FFVI in the west now, their names are changed back here, they've been re-released under those names multiple times.

Does it really matter? FF2 and FF4 are both equally bad.
At least FF4 had Namingway. Now THAT was a good character

I love the weird sound effect the Namingways make.
