Frequently Asked Questions

Where Can I Buy Final Mix?
The game can only be bought in JAPAN and only ever in Japan, just like FF7 or FFX-2 International.

Thats Unfair!
Yes but just imagine how the Japanese fan’s felt when they missed out on the chance to kick Sephiroths ass in the original?

Ok if I import it, will it work on my American/European PS2?
Sadly, No unless you own a Japanese PS2 or a modded/chipped American/European PS2.

Why’d do you waste your money on a Jap PS2 or break your warranty on the NTSC/PAL PS2?
I don’t remember saying I did.

Well your the one typing the questions, ANYWAY! how the hell did you do it then?
I bought something called “Slide Card and Swap Magic”, very simple to use and it lets you play import games! Very similar to the Freeloader for Gamecube. You can buy it buy clicking here (then searching for it) and if your looking for somewhere to buy the game I suggest PlayAsia.com

Is it worth my money?
If your a big fan of Kingdom Hearts, then hell yes.
