Hi,
I wud like to get the ps3 and play FF XII, but was told will only be able to play the original japanese version since ps2 games will still be region lock. Locally, the ps3 are asian sets, so does that mean only japanese ffxiii on it? Does the jap version has eng sub? Thanks. |

Hi, thanks for all the replies. Went to a shop today and was told ntsc U/C will work on asian set ps3, is that true? I doubt it since NTSC U/C is for US/Canada if I am not mistaken...but the guy sounds very confident it will work and guaranteed it. thought?

adliew, do let us know when you receive your zodiac job version ya. Anyway, how do you plan to play it if it's jap text?
btw, just curious, for asian (japs aside) countries such as s'pore, korea, etc, isnt there an english text version? U dont expect all asians to read jap do they?

QUOTE(acougan @ Aug 8 2007, 01:55 PM) yup, jpn developed videogames are often sold in asian countries in jpn only, kinda like j-pop cds, LoL. actually in south korea, ffxii was released in JPN only with a korean manual. Thanks for the replies. I wasnt aware since i didnt own ps2 before...i guess this is mainly due to our piracy situation. I couldnt even find any shop in pg selling original ps2 game. i guess sony can always choose to make ps2 games compatible with US region but again it's all about $$$. its pretty common to buy jrpg games in HK with the additional chinese gameguide/translation book. for customers in HK or TWN (the main Asian legal videogames market) a game fully in English is just as unappealing as a game fully in JPN. but sony themselves are doing some work to translate games into traditional chinese for asian versions. games like ico, SotC, GT4, TT, siren, rule of rose, ape escape 3 have chinese versions.  btw, FF X international (asia/jpn version) is the only FF game to feature full english text, check it out. |

QUOTE(adliew @ Aug 9 2007, 01:03 AM) Received my copy of the zodiac job system today - sadly no english text support although game voice is in english. Gotta look for some translation help at Gamesfaq i guess Hi adliew, what is Odin's Sphere? Game manual is fully JP but there's an extra sheet w/ chinese & english explanation for the game basics.Title screen:  Having trouble with this lol:  Will give it a go through trial and error i guess, thank god Odin's Sphere for its ENG support (korean version). p/s: Forgive the poor screenshot - crappy ipaq phone lol. |
