Tomorrow, I will be the proud owner of an honest to god, japanese PS2.

So, I need some gaming suggestions, stuff that is only available in Japan (FFXII is sold out, but that was my first choice, for instance). So, either JP exlusives, or things they have that we won;t for some time.

Suggestions?

pfft.

So, anyone (besides my sanity checkers there) seen any good imports (or for that matter, I guess even Region 2 DVD's) that are must haves?

I am not sure about how to get certain stuff, but the main stuff I would look for would be along the lines of:

FF 5 and 6, Any of hte DragonWarrior series (I think most betwen 3 and 8 were not released in the us) and the Mesquito game.. If for nothing else other than just sheer oddity.

EXILE can I find peace in this lifetime.

Shadow of the Colussus
Gran Tourismo Concept 2001 Tokyo
Dead or Alive 2
Soul Calibur II

Very cool, basically the same games (though I did not actually have DOA at all, SC2 for the PS2 and the Tokyo version of GT is Japanese only).

Most of these games have english menus or options to make the menus in english.

Extremely cool stuff though :)
