can the gaiden's be played on a ps2
i want to know if the gaidens can be played on the ps2 because i just got the exported games from japan unopened and the only way i would even serioisly consider opening them is if they work on the ps2 and like i said even if it does i still would uncertain. Also another quiestion who would open it and do you think it would drastically drop the value of the games

what i'm asking is if a normal american early version of the ps2 (don't know the technical name) can play a exported game like the gaiden and if not what could. and if you would open and what you thought.

No they won't work. Japan is a completely different rgion from the US, so your PS2 would either need to be chipped or to use something similar to the SwapMagic (I know they do NTSC to PAL, but I'm not sure about other regions). Plus, if you can't read Japanese it's going to be a completely wasted experience

even so i wouldn't say wasted a true suikoden gamer wouldn't care that he couldn't read it yet just enjoy the scenes and never before seen gameplay

but like i said if you so how know which option to choose , like an guide for those who don't know whould tell you how to continue either the 1st, 2nd or if there was a 3rd. Then you could at least know a little even if you don't read japanese. like what happened to humphrey and where viki's from. To some people just that would be enough.

Gaidens really require knowledge in japanese. You are looking at a novel's worth of text between the two games. There is a decent amount of kanji as well as katakana which combines to spell foreign influenced terms. It is not a simple as knowing five words picked up at an anime convention and being able to go from there.
And while some rough explanations exist for the series of events, it really won't give you a satisfactory experience. All of the fun is picking up on character interaction. Sure you can insult Sierra multiple times and see an angry face, but what good is that if you have no clue what was said to her?
As far as the PS2, you need it modded or you need an emulator for the computer to play the disk. However it is best to try it only if you know at least SOME japanese.

Well, you can do ps1 emulation on a pc. In fact the gaidens you can really get around even without a controller since it's basically advancing the story and picking options. I you don't want to mod a playstation or import a japanese system then it is an option to consider.Koden wrote:ggrrrrr...so basically, if you don't know japanese and/or live in japan, you cannot play the games to where they will make sense and give you that fuzzy feeling of acomplishment when you beat it? surely there's some way...
is it the same for card stories??
But unless someone really dedicates the time and effort into doing a full translation it's impossible to get the full experience.
