Thanks to the lovely boot disc (which is rapidly becoming my favourite possession!) I loaded up this for the first time today. The first FF game I've seen playing at full speed on a full screen ;-) Can't wait to get stuck into it again to see the whole thing in the correct proportions!

I also got a Japanese copy of Tekken Tag for £8, so I can now enjoy Tekken at full speed too. Although that will all be meaningless by the end of next month... SOUL CALIBUR! Woohoo!

That I might do. But firstly...

a) Whats FFX International?

b) Whats this boot disk you speak of?

c) Why buy Tekken Tag in Japanese when you could have it for the same price or even cheaper in English?

d) By full speed do you mean 60Hz ?

Sorry, but if you'd asked that nicely in the first place:

a) The Japanese release of the game that had all the English dialogue and text. (the real joke is that it was released in Japan about a year before they got around to the European release, even though it was fully translated into English). FFX is not actually a widescreen game, it just looks that way cos Squaresoft never bother doing proper conversions for us. Tidus's head is not really melon shaped.

b) Allows you to load imports without chipping your machine.

c) Because, unlike FFX, Tekken is a fighting game where gameplay depends on speed and reactions. So the shoddy British version that ran in slow motion is not worth buying.

d) Well, NTSC, so yes... 60hz.

You using the knife trick with the boot disk?

If so, I advice you stop.

It brings a joy to my heart, seeing all these kids getting steamy-eyed over their efforts to be clever.
