I have imported FFXIII Asia version.......from play-asia.com.  Ordered 3 copy, one for me, another 2 for my friends and thought there will possibly of English Sub.  I know, i know, this question has been asked a thousand times on the internet forum, but there is still no exact answers for it.  It should arrive in the next couple of days.  I really don't know i should be excited or what.  Because i can't read Japanese.......

Is anybody out there imported the game and don't know japanese like me? If you did, how the hell you play it???

you have to live under a rock for many many years, if you think there are english subs..

definite answer: there are no english subs.

You didn't check to see if there were English subs BEFORE you spend 8000 yen on a game?

i know, i know........i keep telling myself that. But i just can't help myself pre-ordering it and guess what, this is the first ever game i have pre-ordered in my whole life. Could be the last too.

@Kantor
I tried, but i can't find it anywhere. It's all rumors and no formal announcement anywhere.

there will be many Story-translations to help Guys like you through the game, check the Final Fantasy XIII News on VGchartz, im sure i did read something about that here.

@Crystalchild 

Thank you for the info, i will check it out.

Well I didn't import it, but I did buy it. Since I live in Japan the game never left the country. You might try out the faqs on gamefaqs when more people start playing through it. I'm sure somebody will make a write up/walk-through for it.
