Well, it's nice to see that FF:CC is still number 1 in Japan, it's a very good game and will be a shame if it isnt recieved just as well in the west when it eventually reaches our shores.
If only Sony had managed to get the FF:CC PSP Slim and Lite released in other countries, maybe it would have attracted a larger interest in the franchise from western gamers.

It's very good for a PSP game, too bad it's only with a franchise like Final Fantasy
