Not much of a surprise really, what with it being a good Final Fantasy game, having a limited edition PSP Slim and Lite sold aswell oh and did I mention it was called Final Fantasy again? whoops, lol.

It is a pretty good game, cant wait for an English language release to play now, Jap version is getting a little hard without a good knowledge of the language.

wait? WTF? CC isn't the best game for the psp yet? ZOMG!! *dies*

Now seriously... Although different CC is one THE best psp rpg yet... Its the only game that got me hooked up for more than 5 hours... I'm very picky about games, they have to be near perfection for me to get hooked up...

Although I do agree that I can't understand why the pokemon franchise sells so much... Guess that just proves nintendo are kiddie's consoles *sighs*

[DarthPaul]

You're very right there kyuubidx. That's why Pokémon sells so much, kids...
