Importing the Japanese version.

[adriancgcg]

Hello all! newcomer to the series here.

Anyways, I live in Mexico and my easiest cheapest way to import this game is to buy the Japanese version but since it'd be a pain to have any type of exchange, etc. I really need to do my homework before buying so I'd really appreciate if you could help me with these questions.

1. From what I've gathered you can set the Japanese version to English so that's all nice and dandy, but can anyone confirm?

2. Does this version suffer from the framerate issues as well? If so, does the patch Konami released work for this version as well?

3. Not so important to me but will I be able to play online with people using every version or will I be limited to the Japanese one?

Thanks in advance.

1. Yeah the Japanese version has English,

2. Apparently the game is lag free and pretty much perfect gameplay wise,

3. I'm not sure about that one, sorry

:O Sweetness, so the Japanese game plays smoothly offline?

 

[Kevthedrummer]

apparently so yes. But then there are people who say that PES 2008 plays smoothly offline too.

Hmm.. well I downloaded the PES demo of the EU store and it played fine mostly but there were some hiccups and the occasional teleporting ball.

I'll download the WE2008 demo from the japanese store and check that out. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the fast replies, man.

I got the demo and it is a lot smoother, though not perfect.
