New Zealand is the seat of all world interesting-ness and coolness and good food-ness. except for the marmite. don't understand that stuff.

if you had several years to invest in the project, you could translate the software for malasian. I saw a few copies of translated games, though they were for the GBA and nowhere near as complex as FF XI... no network adapters either, hm? hmmm. you know, you probably could spend all the money to get it from Japan or China (who's cutting a deal with SquareEnix as we speak I hears ) and get all the hardware you need and spend several small fortunes on a connection to get into one of the game servers only to find there's some kinda stupid regional filter thing that makes it impossible to use outside of ... like... Alabama.. or something.

or at least that would happen to me were I in your shoes. I have horrible bad luck.
