Dammit... Now I have to start Meira over again...


Maybe I'll only play through Normal, then return to the GameCube...

Provided we get a US release of the game, of course.

Too bad it wont be available for other consoles. Eps 1&2 demise is not Eps3, its the lack of new elements to it. BB is what I hoped for GC, the ability to expand. Albeit GC does not have a harddrive, but still, new quests or new items would have been welcomed anytime.

Like Meira said, if this becomes available to us, I would also try it.

I guess the question is will someone be willing to set up a proxy on a JP ISP so we can point to that to get ourselves playing this if indeed US and EU ISPs are blocked.

What the hell is that pig-ish thing?!

the new map... is that where the Ruins landed?

What Items can we get from that pig-ish thing?

Is it a boss character or a normal enemy?

All these questions answered on the release of PSO:BB.

um........ i don't think you can just download BB as it's on trial mode right now! and also it said only compatible with japanese windows programs so no it will mostlikely not let you play that way.
