DIGG THIS AWESOME NEWS

http://digg.com/gaming_news/Jap_Final_Fantasy_has_English_Text

News is coming in from a few sources that the Japanese version of Final Fantasy I Anniversary Edition includes english text. So at the start of the game you will be allowed to select between Japanesa (two types) and English text. As well you will be able to change the language settings at any point during the game.

This is great news for people who do not wish to wait around for the USA release in two months.

The game is now available at Play-Asia.com

Hopefully the US version wont contain any extras that the japanese ver. would lack, kinda like Kingdom Hearts.

[ab_geee_eee]

w8 is this the first final fantasy? In that case what was the other new final fantasy release?

[PSmonkey]

Will thoes who love the salty sea stop and go on land to purchase the game insted of fishing it from the ocean depts.

:|

It's only freaking $38. I would like there to be enought sales to generate the need to port 4,6 and maybe posibly 7 (no system prior who recieved FF ports could actualy play ff7, yet psp is the first perfect canidate to recieve a ff7 cleaned up port).

[PSmonkey]

w8 is this the first final fantasy? In that case what was the other new final fantasy release?

This is a remake of the First Final Fantasy Game. The second game in the series Final Fantasy II is also comming out on the psp next month in japan.

We are also due for a tweaked port of Final Fantasy Tactics and a brand new Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core game.

FF1 & FF2 are beign released under the "20th anniversary" line and there has been many hints that they wish to continue past 1 & 2.

finally PSP getting the attention

also where it says charecter names will not change
does that mean they will still be in JAP ...

It simply just means regardless if the names were inputed with english characters or Kanji characters, it will stay the same if the language is swapped.

So if I play in english with a character name of ABC then change to japanese, the name will stay ABC.

Many japanese games (including rpg) tend to let you input a name with english characters (a,b,c..) and not restricted only to japanese kangji.

[Cloud_35]

N-I-C-E-!-!

(with capitals :D)

Played it once in my gba, I'm gonna get this hell now!! When will FF2 come?

[kaffie]

I go both ways.

Its great BTW!

[kiariki]

That screenshot's... tampered with. The Japanese and the Japanese Kana selections are in kana, even with the English selection on. :P

And so far, the Japanese seem to have gotten the GBA translation and inserted into the PSP. :P Good game, though! :D

[The King]

nice i will probably not get this until it hit the greatest hit list because i am broke:p

Eh? what do you mean by that?

The game is comming to USA/Canada in two months. This was officialy anounced yesterday. I also believe they just recently anounced a european release for sometime later this year.

[sourced]

when is this game released? XD

[gr42178]

Well lets just say I did alittle bit of "Arghh shiver me timbers" ;)

if you know what i mean:thumbup:

I know what you mean, I just didnt think the game was released yet!

[Basil Zero]

lol

no prob dood

and man i have to say, the older FF games were slow imo compared to this one, the battle system isnt slow, its quite fluid imo.

Hopefully FFIIA is as good.

Also the european release date hasnt been decided, from what i hear, their still "Thinking about it".

But the NA release is in June 24th 2007.

[sourced]

so, is the game released already in japan? and can i get a copy by this week? XD

[Basil Zero]

Yes the game is already out in Japan, it came out today

also, if you live in japan than yes, you can get it this week

ordering over seas, depends on where u live.

[tvrstl]

at the trailer, it doesn't seem different from the original, or the GBA release, but I haven't play through on Final Fantasy I though
