Actually you can play the game in Japanese too ;) And while it won't be region free, it will be playable on North American and Asian (Non-Japanese) Xbox 360s.

Gah, I'm still reeling over the fact there is no PS3 version.
Frikin' BS.
It wouldn't be so much of an issue if Microsoft would just fess up and fix their d-pad.
I am feeling you. You might be able to import it. I would hope an Admin here could tell you if the jp version works on US ps3 hardware. Also, the D-pad does suck on xb360. I read some news that there was a new controller debut from microsoft at some game conferrence in Europe that looks the same, but has working 8 way D-pad. Also for those XB owners out there gearing (no pun) up for Battle Fantasia, Call around to your local Gamestops, and inquire if they have hori EX2 arcade sticks that were re-released when Soul Calibur IV came out (i managed to snag two of them). I don't even have a 360 yet, I was planning on buying it when I bought Battle Fantasia. But the hori sticks are usb, and also work on my computer..making M.A.M.E. a dream.Taygeta Wrote:
Is Battle Fantasia only available online or something? My Gamestops don't have a listing for it in their computers for in-store pickup/pre-order. Best Buy doesn't even have it listed on their website.
This is a good question..and the reason I initially signed up for this forum. I went to several Gamestops (shudders), and only on one occasion did they "kinda" confirm it was in their system. It isn't on their upcoming releases, and the person who says he saw it in the system said it did not have a release date. They don't know anything about it because it isn't a top tier game. IGN has a count down for the game that coincides with aksys's release date. So what is the scoop Aksys? Any suggestions on where to buy this game? This is a system seller for me.

Battle Fantasia ships on September 16th and should be in stores soon after that.
Gamestop has informed us to tell everyone that if you want to pre-order Battle Fantasia to ask to pre-order it using a generic SKU. That should solve your pre-ordering problems.
Thanks, guys!

I thought Asian 360's were NTSC-J region, same as Japanese 360s.
...Am I wrong, or is there something else that's locking imported JP 360's out from the US version? Hope not, I intend to import a 360 since most US 360 games seem to be NTSC-U/C/J. It'd be a shame if this was one of the few NTSC-U/C only releases... :(Posted 4 years ago # -

There are 4 main regions when it comes to Microsoft region coding: North America, Europe, Japan, and Asia.
Battle Fantasia (US version) will only be playable on North American and Asian Xbox 360s, and not on European or Japanese Xbox 360s.
Though you can always buy the Japanese version, or the European version when it comes out. ;DPosted 4 years ago # -
So what are my chances of finding this game in a gamestop/eb games somewhere in Raleigh, NC today? ;D
I would have pre-ordered but money is tight and I didn't know if I'd be able to get it at launch or not. Well, now I have the money and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a copy :-[ I can always order online, which I'll do if I can't find it, but I would REALLY like to find this in a store so I don't have to wait. I got lucky with Bangai-O on a Wednesday...so we'll see.Posted 4 years ago # -

MemberI tried ordering Battle Fantasia here in Jacksonville, FL but Gamestop wasn't taking reservations for it. I just checked the GS website and no store within 100 miles has it in stock. Ok, that is just wrong! I know I could order it off the website but when you add shipping costs it makes it almost a $60 game. People should not have to go thru this much trouble for something they would like to purchase. Since we don't have Game Crazy here I guess I will just have to keep haunting GS, Target & Wal-Mart in the hopes that one of them will get it. Crossing my fingers I won't have this much trouble over GG2:Overture.Posted 4 years ago # -
Akselziys, with all due respect I think you're a little off-base, or talking about different regional differences than I am?but I'll quit pestering you until I can get my hardware and try it. If it works, sweet; if it doesn't, I take it back and order one of the versions on Play-Asia. ;)

The same thing happened to me with Shiki 3. I ended up ordering it at a local shop since no one had even heard of it at GS...though go figure, it magically appeared there a week or so after release. (Funnily enough, the local shop didn't get my copy in until a few days after I saw it staring me in the face at GS. THAT was frustrating.)
If you're determined to get it there, keep waiting, because if they're a big enough store they'll get copies. If not...well, shipping's free on Amazon.Posted 4 years ago #
