Can anyone tell me what's up with this?

Is this a japan re-release of KHIIFM+?

Regular Buy Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ (PS2) - Order Now!


New Buy Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ (Best Version) (PS2) - Order Now! Release Date Jun 26, 2008

Note that its a lot cheaper now. Anyone heard anything about this? And why would they call it "Best Version." I'm sorry if these are considered stupid questions, i'm new to the forums.

"Best Version" is the Japanese equivalent for what in the US is typically called "Platinum", "Best Sellers", or "Greatest Hits" editions. When a game is particularly sucessful, later on the game is released as "PS2's Best Seller" for a lowered price, and the game simply has an edited boxart to include a banner saying "PS2 Best Seller"

So, June 26th is simply when the "Best Sellers" version of KH2: Final Mix comes out, there is no difference between the 2 versions of the game, there is simply an edited Boxart.

For example:

That did not answer the question at all........

Looks interesting to me. Let's hope that NO NOOBS INVADE THIS THREAD WITH "tomgz teh kh2fm+ iz lyk so comming!!111!".

Huh.....It called Critical Mode "Serious Mode". That was a rumour of the title when it was coming out. Interesting....

I think the seller is calling it a Best Version, though it is better than the regular. Basically all that good stuff MuffinMan said are in it and the whole "Silly world, FM+ is for Japan!" and all that stuff. To play it, you'd need to do two things: Import it and then get Swap Magic to play it on your PS2.

Thanks for the answers everyone.

best seller means that it is sold (to) much....maybe is platinum (Like muffinman said).

Yeah thats all right, its like America's greatest hits for PS2. Also what I don't get is why the "Best" version is cheaper.

 

[moonlightshadow]

i agree with the platnum best seller thing

 

[TrueRoxas527]

Sure, but anything about the release that isn't quite right with the original KH2FM+, (different names of certain places or events, SERIOUS MODE, please) than it would be fake.

im pretty sure its equivalent to our USDA version of "Greatest Hits"
