@64ddking this might answer your question "When we developed FF3, the volume of content in the game was so huge that the cartridge was completely full, and when new platforms emerged, there simply wasn't enough storage space available for an update of FF3, because that would have required new graphics, music and other content. There was also a difficulty with how much manpower it would take to remake all of that content.
i found yu can make english names for your characters by going to the name thing for the characters (????) and go up and yu can find english characters
Another reason it managed to last as long as it did was Bandai's licensing power: They had (and still have, in most cases) the rights to make games based on popular anime titles, including Gundam, One Piece, Inu-Yasha, Digimon, etc.
The flower on the Premium Strap is probably the "Wild Rose," symbol of the Kingdom of Fynn, and the first keyword the party memorizes in Final Fantasy II, if you don't already know.
@ladyo07 you aint missing much. think of the wonder swan as a "high quality tiger hand held" heh heh... it's really impossible to view anything on the screen unless you mod it with an LED. otherwise, it woulda been a decent hand held.
i bought the FF1 game at an anime convention complete for $20, this is cool i may have to look for one of those limited editions eventually, im a huge ff nut.
burn that shit man ajajajaj XD all in japanese what a shit ajajaj XD !! .. fuckin japanese... por ke no lo sakan en ingles o en español y lo sacan en AMERICA !!!
this looks interesting, im a bit of a collector myself
by the way, when your atari controllers arrive why dont you do your review when you start using those controllers, because i think that model is well known for its controlllers breaking very soon after you start using them
Ugg. It'll be a few years until I can truly afford my collecting addiction, and by that time I assume all the excellent finds will skyrocket in price!
nice if you speak japanese i guess. i gave up with jap rpgs myself mainly becasue i dont speak jap, so i dont see the point, collect all other jap titles for the pc engine / marty etc
Great as always. Nice seeing a collector collect what he wants to collect instead of just getting what everyone else has in their collections. Keep it up man, vids are great and entertaining!
they are the same system but just with diffrent game and ff art? doesnt matter because its money well spent and they are a great investment. enjoy them :)
ughh..I'm collecting old consoles but i don't know whether to get a wonderswan or nokia n - gage :S.
