    Default Final Fantasy European and North America what's the differences?

    Hey
    I was wondering if there any differences bitween the North America version and the European version I only know about FFX that there's Dark Summons in the European and in the North America there isn't

    So is there ant other differences in the earlier games in the series?
    (FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX)

    Thank you for your help

    Europe got a different version of FFX than the US did. Japan got both versions. I believe it went something like this:

    Japan: Hey, we just churned out another FF game! (FFX)
    US: FF is a cash cow! Let's release it! (FFX)
    Japan: FFX sold so well we're adding new stuff to it! (FFX International)
    US: People won't go for it, if we try and sell the same thing in a new wrapper we'll lose money and credibility.
    Europe: Hey! A new FF game! Let's port it! (FFX International)
    US gamers: Awwwwwwwww...

    Other than that, there's the PS1 ports of the SNES games.

    US:
    Final Fantasy Chronicles: FFIV & Chrono Trigger
    Final Fantasy Anthology: FFV & FFVI

    Europe:
    Final Fantasy Anthology: FFIV & FFV
    Final Fantasy VI

    Other than that, I can't think of any.

    The difference is that we get the games like 12 years after the rest of the world does.

    We waited ridiculously long for X-2. I think so anyway. It seemed like months. It was released in feb 2004 here.

    At least when FFX came out ridiculously late, we got the International version. When X-2 came out, we didn't get anything of the sort, and it was delayed even more than X. *sigh*

    And none of the Nintendo games has made it to Europe (on a Nintendo system at least) while they had 3 out of 6 in America after all.
    So all we could do over here at that time was to buy a converter (NTSC->PAL) and pay a lot of money for importing the games...

    Keep your filthy opinions out of this thread.

    The most annoying difference is that we have to play them with two borders at the top and bottom, because of the higher resolution the PAL format has, and that the framerate is 5 frames lower, making it seem like the characters are walking on the moon. I would love being able to play the games in 60 Hz on my awesome TV.
    Konami is much better at porting their games to PAL than S-E. They also do it faster.

    The wait was longer for FFX. You guys got FFX like three months after the international version was released in Japan, which is why you guys got the international version. For FFX-2, you guys got it I think a week before the international + last mission version was released in Japan, so you got the regular version because the new one hadn't even been released in Japan. You did still have to a wait a while though.

    This is not a thread about the quality of the game "Final Fantasy X-2", please stop bringing that topic up, make a new topic or something.

    Let's stay on topic. Mirage, you drawing attention to it is just as bad as him posting it. Don't do it.

    Okay so you're saying that except for FFX
