...like a tidal wave!  Hahaha... get it?  Tidal wave?  In Japan?  Never mind.

Anyway, FF12 went on sale at 7:00am this morning in Japan.  Some people waited in line for thirteen hours to buy it.  Squaresoft shipped 2.3 million units for launch day.  Craziness!

Check out some pics of the store lines here...

So here's the question.  I've got a friend leaving Saturday to spend a couple weeks in Japan.  Should I send some kizzash with her to buy a copy for me?  I couldn't play it because my PS2 isn't cracked and I can't read Kanji, but it'd still be freakin' awesome to own.

I just think it'd be neat to have a real, actual Japanese game.  It's more for the neat-o factor than for any real use.  It's kinda like buying a poster for the wall - it doesn't really serve a purpose, but it looks cool.

(...could rip the FMV's from the disk, too.)

Forget the game...have them bring you back a suitcase full of fresh Pocky!

Works for me.  I can decompress it and throw it in a *.zip file if you want me to.

The *.rar file has been redacted.  Here's the *.zip file for your listening pleasure.

...and since I'm such a nice guy, here is the opening video for the game.  The dialogue is in Japanese (obviously), but you'll just have to deal with it.  It's rather big, and I'm torrenting some stuff at home today, so be patient.
