Soo it seems Square is going to screw the Americas over again.

Well, after four generations of us Europeans being screwed over out of entire games from Square, it hardly seems a big deal for anyone to miss out on a few C.Es....

Be thankful you never had to go through what PAL users had to go through during the SNES days.

Even though I wasn't gaming during the 4th gen, I can imagine how bad it was for JRPG lovers like myself.  No Chrono Trigger, o Final Fantasy IV-VI, no Super Mario RPG, no Ogre Battle MotBQ, no Seiken Densetsu 3, no Dragon Quest V and VI, no Fire Emblem, no Tactics Ogre, no Tales of Phantasia, etc.  I guess we got Terranigma, which provides a little bit of comfort at least.

It's not like the 5th gen was much better either given the popularity of Pokemon and to a lesser degree FFVII: No DQVII, no Xenogears, no Tales of Destiny or Eternia/Destiny II, no Ogre Battle 64, no Arc the Lad I-III, no Chrono Cross, no Chrono Trigger, Tactics Ogre, Tales of Phantasia or Ogre Battle MotBQ ports, no Valkyrie Profile, etc.

I'm just happy that this gen that the likes of FFXIII, Xenoblade Chronicles, DQIX, etc all saw releases here.  Sure I'm a little bit annoyed that the likes of Soma Bringer don't make it, but the current situation is far preferable to those mentioned above.

 

Oh man, Seiken Densetsu 3 and ToP... two of the best games ever released for the SNES that everyone outside of japan were deprived of in the 4th gen . Heck, had I not a NTSC SNES, I would have missed out on my favourite game of all time, Lufia II. An EU copy was as hard to get as EU Panzer Dragoon Saga >___>
