[Daria]

Just trying to compose a list of RPGs that were never released in the US, mostly Japanese but I also find the Chinese and Tawainese unlicesed games interesting.

You forgot about Rudra No Hihou and Front Mission! @_@

Na, I'm not suprised you forgot about Rudra No Hihou. I mean.. that game is basically impossible to play without knowing japanese. I should know, because, well.. I own it, and I have no idea how to play it. LOL

Unless it's the same as Rudora...?

I just googled it and it seems it's indeed the same game. :embarrassed: Sorry 'bout that. I just never heard it called Rudora before.

It's ok. I still appreciate the help. (:

Add these to the list:

Benkei Gaiden: Suna no Sou
SD Gundam: Knight Gundam Monogatari

I own both of them, but I can't play either because I can't read japanese and there are no translations around. Man, I really gotta learn japanese someday!

[Lord Contaminous]

Gdleen (Seta). I believe it's almost a Y's clone.

One of my old Gamepro magazines briefly talked about it coming to the US, but it never happened.

TRIVIA:
Renovation had plans to release Neugier here in the US as "The Journey Back Home"

[Daria]

Cool.

*downloads* Got 'em. Thanks. Any others? There's gotta be more. :P

[MrSmiley381]

There's Kyukayuu (sp?) Megami Tensei. It has the two Famicom MegaTen games remade on it.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

You're still missing Front Mission on that list. :P

[Daria]

You're still missing Front Mission on that list. :P

I have it. Just didn't edit the list. :P

Some of those are a bit of a stretch to consider RPGs, I think.

As for Far East of Eden Zero: Shounen Jump no Shou, that subtitle is for the extremely rare version produced for some sort of promotion or contest in Shounen Jump magazine. The normal release (they're nearly identical) is just Tengai Makyou Zero/Far East of Eden Zero.

That's likely. Most of these have recieved very limited testing as I don't read Japanese.

Final Fantasy IV :evil:

Because its harder then just the USA Version Final Fantasy II.
It contains more Items, different items in chest, a Secret Entrance in the Drawfs Castle and maybe some more differents.

There is too a Final Fantasy IV Easy Type, this is the same as the USA Final Fantasy II Version. So Final Fantasy IV is a little different then II / IV Easy Type.

you also forgot:

mother 2.
brandish 2 / brandish 2 expert
hokuto no ken 5
jojo's curious adventure

[DDCecil]

Actually FF4 Eastype is very different than the U.S. version as one may think:

- Alternate Zermous Graphic!
- Save point near Zeromus
- Pillars you can go underneath which aren't on our version.

I just played a turn which was already on the cart I received yesterday. I hope to play through the game soon to see if there are any other differences...

mother 2.



Mother 2 is just the japanese version of Earthbound.

[pragmatic insanester]

there weren't any significant changes from the translation/etc?
