The only thing stopping me from getting the JP release is obviously the language barrier. At least you can import the US version when it comes out, so I wouldn't worry about "not getting it at all" as you put it. There's a thread somewhere about importing US titles, and some good sites were listed. As long as you play in RGB scart, you shouldn't have to worry about NTSC -> PAL issues.
i am looking froward to ff12 though. as much as i don't really want to go with the mainstream, i do like ff games a lot.
Hehehe, me too. I haven't played FFX yet, though, since I only recently got a PS2. I like the mideval fantasy theme of the Dragon Quest games much better, but the modern-era FF stuff is interesting and unique.
currently trying fro a perfect file on ff1 :dos at the min. what rpgs are you guys currently going through?
Yup, I'm playing FF I-II as well. I'm slogging through the bonus dungeons in FF1. The encounter rate is awful, but at least I'm owning everything in sight (including bosses). My levels are in the 70's. Knight, Ninja, Red Wizard, White Wizard. This is an awesome party, btw. I wish I had another Masamune to give my Red Wizard. Maybe I'll find another one in the bonus dungeons.
I also started a game in Lufia II on SNES. I'm very very impressed with it so far. The best thing about it is no fucking random encounters. God, I'm so sick of those, especially when there are no items to control it. That's why I only care about two RPGs this year.
