Hi Bro it's not the same like FFX International. FF VII International doesn't have English language or subtitle. Here are the difference version of Japanese FF VII :

-FF VII (Initial release before the US release less content just like Bro Gundam said)
-FF VII International (Based on the US release, but language only Jap and got extra non-gameplay material)
-FF VII International Ultimate Hits (Cheaper 2nd released but basically same version as FFVII Int.)
-FF VII International from Advent Pieces Limited Ed. (Same version as FFVII Int. but different packaging and cd label)
-FF VII International downloadable game from PSN for PS3

This is why the FF VII US (both black label and Greatest hits) version is still the most sought after. Also the PAL version has the first edition and platinum, quite collectible as well since it's in English too.

Thanks Chronims. That is really helpful.

I guess I will have to look for a US version, maybe from Mike, the person that selling the Gamecube here smile.gif. However, it will cost me an arm and a leg - if not mistaken is RM14x or above.

Hi all,

Get the Shenmue from Usage smile.gif. Everything is good and the game can be played.

Too bad that the back casing is cracked. Anybody got a free casing to sponsor? blush.gif

Shenmue 2 not available in US. I am looking at ebay and the closest I can get is the EU version. I don't think it can be played on a NTSC/U console.

THAT day, did you happen to see a black car passing by? Oh, how I loved this game, despite the horrible English dub...

Haha I agree...the English dub is not on the highest quality...but the gameplay is good, and the graphic...well let just say that it is Great compare to the consoles during that period.

Hi all,

As I am saving up for the upcoming Gran Turismo for PSP, I will have to delay the retro collection until October smile.gif.

In the mean time, ladies and gentlemen, have fun on continuing the retro gaming, I will come back very soon, starting probably with Tales of Symphonia GC or the Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII and IX for Playstation 1 smile.gif.

I think those stack are from Sony Wings KLCC (before Sony Wings shrink their floorspace) and from from the original Sony authorized PS shop in Sg. Wang.
did saw a Namco tennis game .. Not that interested though. There is still another copy of Um Jammer Lammy when I left there  brows.gif
*
Thanks LiangZhuge,

By the way, to all collectors around,

Playasia is selling Radiata Stories on PS2 for USD14.90, or USD11.92 if you are using Visa Card. That's about RM43 after discount, with free delivery.

I just want to know whether the game is good? smile.gif

Well all of you, if it is good, please tell me. It's Square Enix game anyway smile.gif

hmm.. I may want to sell them as a package later.
I won this auction at $80 (before shipment cost to Msia) but knowing that I will probably never play them, I intend to sell it to fund for other games that I actually wanna play.

Haha,

Well when it arrives, do share the photos here. smile.gif

Please do tell us how much you want to sell it though smile.gif.

Hi tripleB,

Look at the picture on the "explanation" at the back. You can see the "i" for the masterpiece is in wrong position.

Rare batch I guess thus making it more expensive.

Yes, hyper rare....got just one batch (around 20k) and Square Soft recall everything once they found it out.

In Ebay, I saw people selling for 3k USD for a brand new one, and there are actually people begging for it.
