i thought final fantasy i and ii were being sold in the same package. how come they're separate... most of the other games are AWESOME

**Razor Blade** · December 9th, 2002

You can buy them separately or in a package. I'm not totally sure but I think they only have the serparate thing in Japan.

**Yeloazndevil** · December 9th, 2002

well square release FF1 & 2, but what happened to FF3?

Ninjaa · December 9th, 2002

FF1 was always one of my favorites. The port looks like it was actually done right, so I will probably pick up a copy as well.

Rhombus · December 9th, 2002

Gundam and Pokemon stuff is still that popular? Wow.

Maybe if they would throw some sort of story into a pokemon game it would be good. And why the hell didnt they stick with ash they should have made it a reccuring story where it spans over several games and you could use a link cable or somthing to send your old pokemon to you new game. That would be cool. And i was sure that tales of destiny was on top in japan. Any way i dont see how Mario party is so close to the top.

they're japanese....different tastes, you know.

they prolly think "wtf, why do all those people in the US play that stupid game called the sims?!"

(actually I'm thinking that too)

Ninjaa · December 10th, 2002

Heh. You know that GTA wasn't even released in Japan? Personally, I think that that game sums up everything that the Japanese think is wrong with the western world. (I tend to agree)

December 11th, 2002

yeloazndevil, perhaps they are going to wait and see how the remakes of FF 1 and 2 do before they release FF 3 (if they do). All three of these games were originally for the 8 bit Nintendo but only FF 1 was released here in the USA. FF 2 and 3 were released only in Japan. I wouldn't mind seeing all three of these games (in redone format) make it over here.
sincerely,

> Gundam and Pokemon stuff is still that popular? Wow.

I just hope they are at least average titles... there are TONS of Gundam titles but so far the only one really good I recall is Gundam Federation Vs Zeon for the Dreamcast and the PS2...
