Personally i like FF8 the most. I don't think any RPG on earth will ever replace FF8 in my heart as the most artistic, romantic, beautiful game ever made. It was more than a game to me. It was an experience. Up till now i still think FF8's ending was the best and most fufilling ending ever made for any RPG. It was simply beyond words. You simply have to play and complete the game and FEEL it for yourself. cant wait for FF12!!!

another FF8 fan....that's the greatest!!! at times it could be the world's most beautiful silent film!

i can't wait for FF12 either....not looking foward 2 much to FF11

Dunno if this is true or not. I have read an article about Sony Europe's internet plan long ago. The reason behind the postponement of the upcoming FFXI and internet gaming in Europe was due to the internet infrastructure in the UK. the UK's internet was behind the other EU countries back then. The UK is the 3rd largest videogame market in the world.

Sounds right but i think it has more to do with the smaller (but still hugely popular) target market, coupled with the HDD,net adapter and subscription cost meaning lower sales.

Combine with the cost of at least 5 different langauge versions to make (the english language conversion takes only a few days from the american - or it should at least ) and the time it would take.

Making a profit in europe would be difficult

But square-enix have also said they will do their best to incerase the number of european titles and decrease the conversion time (unlimited saga was due for the end of the year a while ago )

The old square-europe was notirously bad for good releases

The orchestral version (plays during end creits) is even more amazing

Uematsu is god!

To think that he picked up music by himself... he's really a genius...

Hi, was hoping that some of you here would be able to tell me some sites with lots of japanese game reviews. Gamespot and IGN dont really cover all the games so i was hoping to find some site which covers all japanese games, i don't mind sites in japanese. Does anyone know of any?

Which platform are u prefer to ??? PS-2, Game-cube, X-Box or Pc- Games ...???

For PS-2, Game-Cube, & X-box .. you may goto : www.gamepro.com

For PC-Games you may goto : PCGamers.com ...
I think we have out of topic J-Drama ....

let's list some sites:

- www.gamers.com
- www.gaming-age.com
- www.the-magicbox.com<- although not a gamin review site, it covers the latest gaming news.
- www.gamefaqs.com<- readers' reviews
- http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/

none of them really useful for japanese games... for example alot of anime based games in japanese like gundam seed and prince of tennis are not covered... as well as alot of other dating sims, etc...

My question is ... what platform are u looking for ? ps2, game-cube, xbox or pc game ...

Thx for da link...pemu kun.

Yep Square can surely deliver good stuff in one packet ..............kinda sorry for them though their magic don't work on da big screen......I think it always problem when u really try to Americanized japanese stuff

Im not sure if the movie was really Americanised as it was done by the Hawaii branch of Square (which does cutscenes for the games) and sakaguchi-sn was in charge

sites i go to.....

www.gameforms.com
www.polygonmag.com
www.mmcafe.com

themadman's cafe is amazing!!!

yeah~~
FF fan here~
but stopped playing...
will continue end of this year

looking for ps2 games...

hoping for sites with actual user feedback n reviews too, so that i can gauge how good a game is before buying it. Cos sometimes i see those anime based games out there... but wonder if they are cheap productions and have sucky gameplay or something, so mostly end up not buying...

i have only played ff7 and ff8 so far... i wanna play the rest but must get my ps2 first hehe

You refered to import game review sites. I used to know a few HC import gaming sites, but haven't visited the sites for years. Not able to remember. Gamefaqs has a huge archive of readers' reviews on import games Too bad they don't offers pics.

gamefaq is not too bad... but still.. not too good. Especially for dating sims and anime based games... since they are not that popular in the US.

haiz.. wonder why google cannot find? i wonder why the japanese dun haf review sites... so strange.
