Ok if it was me I would wait for the english version for two resons, one is that it will be DEFINATELY worth the wait, and it'll just be easier, i mean its not much longer until it comes out. But, if you really want to there is a install - it - yourself chip called the messiah mod chip, its inexpensive and from what i hear works, but its kinda hard to find one cause i just looked on ebay and it was taken off. The only thing i would use a translater (japanese games can be played on an american ps2) mod chip would be for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. So in my opinion, just wait it out, it will be well worth it.
