No customs paid so i shall be buying from Falcom again many times (they have a heart and know to tick that awsome "gift" part on the paper) anyway while im at it and instead of making another post i wanted to ask these questions : - for the following games which ones have English patches (please "Note" i dont care about playing them japanese but i just wish to know) Zweii 2 -> ?? (this is a Ys board but any help is great) Ys Oath in falghana -> i know this has one Ys Origin -> this i know doesn't Ys the ark of naphishtim -> i actually dont know if this does or not. does only Ys Origin have patches i need put on or do the other Ys games have some too?? any links to others post just incase i have problems patching. Thanks

May be an Ys board, but I'm fairly certain a large number of us are just Falcom fans in general. The Falcom board has topics for pretty much all of their recent games. AFAIK, no patch for Zwei II. Felghana does have one, yes. Wyrdwad and Doppiapunta here are working on the patch for Origin, so that should be out eventually. And there's a HUGE notice on the top of the boards for the Napishtim patch, haha. For this, if you mean game fixes/patches supplied by Falcom, you shouldn't have to patch anything since you just bought the games. They ship them as the latest patch version, I believe. At least, every game I've ever bought has been the same version number as the current patches available from thier website. It's worth checking though, I suppose.

I decided to buy the games from HimeyaShop even though the prices were a bit higher ($310 incl. shipping for Origin, I&II Complete, Felghana and Ark, about 400 with customs fee and tax applied). Mostly because Falcoms own site seems to be mostly in japanese, which I do not understand. And also because HimeyaShop allows you to pay with PayPal, which feels somewhat more secure than having to send details about your credit card.
I might also add they were quick to reply to my emails, and they host a detailed description on how to install japanese games on non-japanese Windows. Great stuff!

Himeya is indeed a great shop. I bought many games from here. They can even find you a rare game or item quickly if you make a request.

Himeya are a gigantic ripoff and only do EMS, leaving you to get ripped off even more by customs.
Do not want.

... Falcom shipped ORIGIN to me by EMS and all I had to do was sign a paper. Guess it's different in Britain, though. Which worries me.

Falcom tend to mark the value of the parcels way, way down though. I think the last parcel I got from them was a special with tons of games and 2 Sora no Kiseki artbooks, yet they'd put it as $10.
Most places won't do this though, not least because it's technically illegal, and anything worth more than about $30 here, especially if it's large or sent express, is liable to get a 15% tax plus about $20 'for holding the parcel' until you pay said tax.
Which is a bitch.

I had a great experience with Himeya once! My Sword of Mana JP limited edition got shipped back to them for god knows what reason and they shipped it back, via EMS, for free. *____*
Dunno if they have a policy about replacing lost packages (too lazy to check) or I just happened to luck out and get a really compassionate c/service rep. :3
Either way, I shopped a little more from Himeya after that and then discovered Play-Asia and YesAsia. ^^;
