Question on importing SFC games.
Umbra:
Quick question since I'm sure the people on this site have far more experience in retro collecting/gaming than I do.
Found an entry on ebay for Final Fantasy VI CIB on Super Famicom for $25. I removed the region-lock from my SNES so is this something to jump on?
Also before anyone mentions it, this question is assuming that everything is legit, which from what I can tell it is.
Thanks in advance for any input :P
Arseen:
Game is fully in Japanese.
Playing textheavy RPGs without understanding is hard, or in this case near impossible.
wiggy:
The SNES has NO region lock, other that some plastic tabs (unless that's what you mean).
The JP FF games go for next to nothing. They're extremely plentiful and of ZERO value to US gamers. Some games are totally worth inventing in JP copies over US, especially if you're just buying to play em and not just to collect, but as Arseen said, RPGs are not the games to buy in Japanese unless you can read Japanese.
Arseen:
SNES has region lock.
JAP/US games won't play on PAL SNES or vise versa.
Umbra:
@wiggy yeah I was referring to the "region lock" tabs. I suppose you're right with JP FF games being of little value over here. I thought at the least if I'd be unable to play it well enough it would look great on a shelf as a CIB super famicom title :P
Can anyone recommend SFC games that aren't a challenge to play that won't drain my wallet? I'm sure there are some that exist.
