Kingdom Hearts Final Mix / Imported PS2 games
Umbra:
So I have a question for everyone here. I have a few questions about importing Japanese PS2 games. Firstly, if anyone here has played the Final Mix versions of the Kingdom Hearts games -- would it be worth importing them? Like, is there any decisive advantage of Final Mix over the US versions? (I've heard that KH2 Final Mix was noticeably better but wanted some input) They're not very expensive to import from what I've seen, around the same price if not cheaper than getting the games in the US.
Also, assuming that I have a means to play Japanese PS2 games (either by getting an import console or simply emulating via ripping ROMs), does anyone know of any import-friendly PS2 games? Or any PS2 games that have had translation patches (similar to the patches for FF5 on SNES)? I've heard of translation patches for certain PS2 games so I imagine there are some that I've not heard of.
Mel:
Do you have Kingdom Hearts Remix games for PS3 because those included the Final Mix versions?
Umbra:
I don't have a PS3, so no. I was thinking of importing the Final Mix games and just emulating them via PC since removing the region-lock seems like a lot of hassle and risk just for two games, and importing a NTSC-J PS2 is still pretty costly.
I already own the PS2 versions of Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, just wondering if the Final Mix would be worth importing since I've heard KH2 Final Mix is a noticeably better version of the game.

Just get a hard mod kit. They are cheap and easy to do. Get the case mod and Swap Majic.
Umbra:
Unless I'm mistaken the thing with Swap Magic is that the tray plate has to be removed and the swap trick has to be done every single time you play an import, correct?
