Okay, I have the feeling that I'm probably about to be unnecessarily berated and lectured, but I'm asking anyway-

Isn't there ANYWHERE I could find Y's I for download somewhere? Someone have it on their FTP? Could anyone who has it upload it to the newsgroups? Could somebody just even send it to me? Before you start talking about piracy, supporting Falcom, etc etc... I support more than you know, I've bought every version of Y's that I've run across, and I WOULD buy Y's I right now except for the fact that the place listed here is SOLD out, and I've TRIED to buy things from Falcom before... international CC or not, it's never gone over well. Anyway, it's not even illegal (well, not really) since the game has not and most likely will NEVER be released in the US. (That is, unless Nightwolf and anyone else involved in the translation gets smart and contacts Falcom or a US company about selling them (or even giving them) the rights to the patch- I would think that it might seem much more attractive to a company since the biggest hurdle, the localization, is already finished. All they would need to ddo would be to design some different packaging and do some advertising. Heck, they could even make it an available online-only game. Or, another idea would be to contact Bill Gates at Microsoft; since there's no translation involved, I could see it being something that would be great for the MS PC games division. Hell, the games that they DO release are pretty lame, for the most part.)

Anyways- I NEED to play this game. I had no idea it even existed until today; ys is by far my favorite series of all time...

Has anybody bought the Ys I-II release? I was wondering if it is any different than the two seperate releases. I'd rather not have to buy it again.

Then he just sucks. It's fast and easy. It can't possibly go wrong.

Okay, okay.. I'll try ordering it from Falcom... when I said that I've tried ordering things from Falcom before with no luck, I was referring to about 10 or so years ago, so MAYBE it's a little easier now... ;)

Really, I'm just impatient... could anyone tell me how long it took Falcom to send it out?

Oh, and that other place that you guys mentioned is sold out of Ys I.

Also, I should buy the Y's I and Y's II SEPERATELY, correct? Or is the only difference in packaging?

It's extremely easy to buy the seperate releases (and even the limited edition first release) at Yahoo Japan. They're very cheap too.
