I just ordered a PocketStation for FF8. What kind of fun can

>is it cool to have?
It was

Now you're getting one I'll have to curbstomp mine. Thanks...

>>4006251
Why?

Pocket Digimon World. You'll train your mons on the PocketStation like on a Digimon keychain andthen use them on Pocket Digimon World, like on a mediocre Pokémon Stadium clone.

>>4007525
That looks Japanese import only. How about any American NTSC releases that support the pocket station? I hear some people say RR4 \_[•.•]_/

>>4007583
Yeah RR4 definitely supports it.

I think that might actually be the only western release to do so.

>>4006246
is this compatible with ntsc/pal ff8?

>>4007649
Yeah, when I was in middle school we imported those to play PAL FF8.

>>4007718
ok thanks!

so was this thing a proper platform in its own right or just a companion/minigame thing like the Dreamcast's one?

Aw crap. I don't have PAL ffviii. Please tell me this will work with my NTSC version.

>>4007624
As in Ridge Racer 4? What do you even do with it?

>>4007519
Because he's a hipster faggot.

>>4008423
Reiko stays close to your heart whereever you go

>>4007841
NTSC here. Like our PAL >>4007718 said, People had to import it from Japan to play that minigame.

Congrats, now you can play a piece of shit Atari level "game" a couple times then never touch again.

I feel like shit. So you're telling me ffviii won't even do anything with this thing. I'll see, I'm at the point in the game where it's looking for a pocket station to save on with the chocobo world and what not. But yeh, I won't be happy if it doesn't work with it.

That's my gripe with FFVIII. It's almost good at everything it does.

>>4008647
it's supposed to work on the US release, but you're retarded if you didn't check before buying

>>4008652
We'll see. I think I'm good though. Almost positive I'll have a good experience with it. Im balls deep in Final Fantasy VIII right now. Still collecting a few more Gfs, and getting ready to fight Ultimicia. Since the Chocobo will be the last GF that I get, I will definitely need the pocket station to progress during down times at work.

>>4006246
I always wanted one, ever since they announced it. It's a shame it never made it to Europe/USA. I knew only but a handful of import stores which had it, and for a ridiculously high price. Those on ebay aren't really any cheaper, though you can grab used ones in Japan for a fair amount of money.
How much did you paid for yours OP?

>>4009375
i paid about 25 which includes shipping.

>>4009409
That's a fair price, is it boxed?
Be aware that you should change the battery, get a premium one.

>>4009435
Not boxed. I don't really like boxes. Seller says they put in a new battery. It's a clear one

How is it in comparision to Dreamcast VMU?
