    Default FFIV Advance finally PAL...

    Last Thursday, I was shocked to see FFIV Advance for sale already...I thought it would take forever like it usually does....

    I was going to get it, but as I had already played it on an emulator (Just couldnt wait any longer for it to come out in PAL format) I got a PSP game instead...

    Anyway, I noticed something annoying, but something I expected...PAL doesnt get the special GBA Micro faceplate...I dont know if the US did get it or not, but I really wanted that..

    Im getting the game this Thursday...

    I think the special faceplate was a Japan-only bonus.

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    GBA's are only twenty. The odd thing is I think they trade for 10 XD. I hand them $10 and my GBA and get a new, not messed up GBA.

    I didnt bother much with stuff in the ROM, but im defintly going to go hard out with this...

    So the faceplate wasnt released in US? Guess they changed their minds...

    Also, the Micro > the SP in most ways

    Probably not enough of them do to warrant releasing it outside of Japan.

    Still, it'd be a neat bonus.

    GBA Micro Faceplates scratch too easily..you need a put a screen protector on it as son as you get it..it would be a shame to get that special one scratched..

    Sorry for the double post, but I found something interesting about the boxart, now that I have it...

    PAL seems to have received the american box art...when all FF games released in PAL territories so far that im aware of, have the classic white background with a centred logo...also, the instruction booklet and cartridge had the "white with logo" design...

    I dont know about the american version's cartridge or booklet though

    Anyway, the game itself is amazing on a GBA Micro..the graphics are so much sharper, it seems like an update to the graphics...
