You guys can keep your English option. With a good dictionary, some knowledge of Japanese Final Fantasy terms, and some school vocab, it's not too hard. I am loving it so far (granted I dropped sophomore college biology because I played the original Tactics Advance too much)...
It's really an awesome game.
Yeah, obviously, if we can understand a certain language, why would we need a translation? Besides, EVERYONE goes to their Japanese class at school... I don't see why everyone begs for an English release.
