Hopelessly idiotic to not release the first game when you're releasing the sequel.

Parasite Eve 2 was released in EU sans Parasite Eve, and Musashi Samurai Legend is being released here sans Brave Fencer Musashi.

Companies do it all the time, and it's stupid.

I blame Sony anyway, since they have to pay for distribution and localisation, they'll often refuse to release a game in the EU.
