[quote name='shadow17x']I played some of the Japanese version at a friend's place and I can honestly say I wasn't very impressed. It just got really repetitive very quickly and didn't seem like it had a lot of content. $30 seems like less of a deal and more of an acknowledgement of how much fun you can maybe squeeze out of it.[/QUOTE]
This.
I platinumed the Japanese version and the game drags. Not to mention the difficulties are vastly different, the story is a joke, virtually no one plays online and there are a ton of other problems. It does have solid gameplay though.
