This will probably get reported on the main page but still here are the final results for the Gamefaqs poll that asked, "Would you buy Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ if it were released in English?":
Yes, even though I already have the import - 3.34% - 2550 Votes
Yes, I loved the original that much - 35.22% - 26912 Votes
Yes, although I never played the original - 14.12% - 10786 Votes
No, the standard version was enough for me - 13.4% - 10239 Votes
No, never played it, don't want to - 33.92% - 25917 Votes
Total Votes: 76404
Tepidshark's comments: This looks very promising if Square Enix does pay attention to it. One, it is awesome that the winner was people who played the original would buy it again, that is the key thing that needs to be gotten across to Square Enix that people who bought the first KH2 will buy this one as well. But also, it is cool that people who didn't play the original but would buy the FM+ took third place. That helps. I wouldn't be to worried about what came in second place because my bet is these are people interested in the whole Kingdom Hearts series.
The only thing that kinda is a little concerning to me is the number of people who would buy it even though they got the import version. Granted, 2550 votes is pretty good, but I would have thought that would have been more even with the choices that ultimately took 3rd and 4th place. Unless, there are just not alot of people who imported in genaral.
The votes among all the yes categoires look great. The total percentage of all the people who would buy it if it came out in English is 52.68%. The total number of votes on the yes categoires is 40,248 of the votes. So assuming each one of those votes is one person and like in Japan the game comes out for the price of one regular PS2 game or in America $50, Square Enix would make $2,012,400 just off the people who voted if it comes out here. Now that might seem low but keep in mind that the poll was only based off people who actully know about the game. If Square Enix put some good marketing behind the FM+ and make a strong effort to explain why gamers should buy this game again they make that number much larger because it will make more people will know about it and it would be clearer that the game contains new features that should entice more people who bought the first KH2 to buy this one as well.
So, if this poll is a indication of whether or not the FM+ comes to America and/or Europe, I would say our chances are pretty good that it is going to come to those places.
