Bah I should have known. Also I don't really see any merit getting a JP 360. Don't they get like less games?

Yay! I hope it arrives on time for when i get back home on june.

A pity they didnt keep japanese subtitles option. Its just that i´m trying to learn it and would have been a good training exercise having options for both jap and english subs but well, you cant have everything.

Mine shipped too.

A friend of mine in Taiwan said he got a Collectors Edition. If possible, ill post some of his pictures.

Also, very nice that you can use your japanese version saved game (if you have one) so you can follow previous progress.

i talked to him and he told me that there's no collector's edition. he just got a free figure and the common faceplat for Blue Dragon, but it's not a Collector's Edition, just a regular one.

mine is shipped too, i hope it doesn't take too long heh. i can't hardly wait for it.

They have been wrong a couple of times before (eg crackdown asian version works fine but was originally listed as not).

Rest assured the first thing I do will be to try it in my PAL console, before switching it to my JPN one

Yes atleast the Korean version of the game is region free. Works on NTSC-J, NTSC-U and PAL-EUR.

Ok, that is the one with english text? Where did I order this again?

edit: Argh, I'm not sure if that version had english text.

edit: 2 currently searching for stores that we PAL people can order from.

What was that a warez site?

Btw. I have a friend that is named Jan. He wants Blue Dragon so much, but he absolutely want japanese voices. At first, I thought you may be him. Then I realised he doesn't write too much at messageboards.

Still searching for info and stores.

I believe there are Korean and Chinese versions of which Chinese isn't playable on PAL consoles but the Korean is. Dunno for sure though...
