They can use this game in Japanese English-as-a-second-language classes to help make language-learning fun while at the same time learning American culture and hopefully not outdated pop culture. I would market it as "America's answer to Seiken Densetsu 2!" while pointing out the positive gameplay changes/differences (alchemy magic system, time travel ala Chrono Trigger, etc.). Like Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden (for the Nintendo Game Boy), "Evermore no Himitsu: Seiken Densetsu Gaiden" might even become its own spin-off series. If I was crazy/ingenious, I might even use a subtitle.

I, for one, think this game would be worth releasing in Japan. I would have bought it by now and this thread wouldn't exist). If this existed, it would make things a lot easier for me (i.e. This point also links with the above point.ġ) NTSC-Japan Secret of Evermore. ・ As a "perfect game" (or as close to perfect as it can get, taking into account time, effort and sanity constraints) gamer, my save files (and the hours I invest in them) are worth more than the physical games themselves. Maybe, technically, I can but it's a lot of trouble. I can make multiple copies of save files on multiple PS1/PS2 memory cards but I can't do the same with save files on battery-backed carts. Side-note: I play my cart-based games as ROMs on emulators because: I don't consider myself a "style over substance" person (not that there is anything inherently wrong with style), but I find USA carts so fucking ugly to the point that I have to precede the word ugly with an expletive. ・ American (NTSC-U/C) style Super Nintendo carts are fucking ugly. I also deem the PAL Hz speed downgrade as insignificant. The PAL bug fixes (if any) while nice, is also mostly irrelevant. Therefore, the black border that plagues PAL games is a non-issue and my physical copy is just for collection purposes. ・ If I plan on playing the game (and I have in the past and I will in the future), it will be done on an emulator, with a "Secret of Evermore (Europe)" ROM, a computer, and a big HDTV. After thinking about it deeply for three years, I have decided to get the PAL UK version.
