    Default Japanese PSX RPGs for sale - $1!

    Due to unemployment and bills that won't wait, I'm selling my collection of Japanese import RPGs for the Sony Playstation on eBay. The auction starts at $1!

    welcome to DP JosieNutter.

    How did you end up with so many import RPG's? I, personally, don't get import rpg's as you need to read em and all.

    Fear your habits because they become your character
    Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

    Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.

    I collected for a loooooong time. These are the only ones I have left; I sold most of my Super Famicom games a few years ago. I've been studying Japanese since 1995 and find that playing imported games is a fun way to gain proficiency reading.

    It's great to see actual GAME DESCRIPTIONS on eBay auctions, that's something you don't get every day. If I knew a bit of Japanese I might give these a shot, but I'll pass the link along to some friends who do.

    Man, it's too bad I have the american versions of most of those...being that I'm studying japanese right now, I'd really like to try that out, but I know I don't have enough patience to sit through an rpg I've already played.

    It's an appealing offer, but the only Japan-exclusive title in the bunch is Front Mission 2. I'm sure that a bundle like this will make some collector quite happy, but when it comes to import RPGs, I'd sooner grab something that wasn't translated into English and released in the states.

    Xenogears would be one of the few exceptions, however. I'd like to get my hands on the Japanese version just to test those implausible rumors about certain scenes being cut from the American edition.

    Well, when I bought these, I believe only FF7 was out (or about to come out, as I played the demo on the Tobal preview disk --which, btw, is waaay different than the FF7 demo that was released in the States) in the US and quite a few of the others didn't have release schedules for the US yet at all. They've been kickin' around in the back of my closet ever since I gave up on Japanese games after the massive amount of kanji in Seiken Densetsu 3 (would have been Secret of Mana 2, here).

    Hey. It won't let me type in Japanese here. Changes my characters to ISO sequences. :/
