Hehe, spread the good news and show it via graphs and all, withhold the bad news. That sounds like the right mindset. Yeah, I guess Russia or Brazil or something. Geographical differences are certainly a larger issue when it comes to digital goods. Even the € in the EU is pretty different everywhere. It was kinda lax in the 90s but after that they often actually checked your age. Same with alcohol and tobacco later on. You used to be able to buy cigarettes from those vending machines but nowadays, those don't exist anymore and what's in supermarkets is usually locked/hidden and you have to ask the cashier for it. Of course, you can always just get whatever from a friend. Man, I remember when I didn't have my own PC (which I got when I was 14), I was only allowed to play four hours a week. So clearly, they can't complain...and well, it's for online games anyway. They can always play offline instead.

Those were likely sold by third parties, right? Or they are 18+ products, then it's a no-go as well. But, for instance, I bought the Legend of the Galactic Heroes books and they shipped without issues. Or some mooks about Japanese PCs which were shipped and sold by Amazon.jp. Well, I stick with Amazon.de, so I'm not changing. But well, supporting Amazon might not be the best decision if you could buy from some local seller/company instead.

Absolutely. Handheld ports are in general not good unless it was a port from some limited console like the SNES. If it is a PC game...those usually belong on a PC. Music is a big issue when it comes to Falcom games. It is usually pretty good, so you want a proper system for it, being able to handle everything etc. Ports can really mess that up. I mean, limited edition which was mail-order-only and then in pretty good condition (and even the original packaging). That's an extremely lucky find. The other two games I already own as well but I want their limited editions too and I haven't found those so far...and those limited editions were available in general. Yep, I already own those though. All three games in limited edition. Yep, it is pretty anime-like (unfortunately) but I guess they really wanted to cater to the anime crowd with those and the series also eventually became more popular than the Ys series (which was gigantic back in the late 80s and 90s). He he, I own the limited edition of both Zwei games too ^^ And yep, they are nice. We will see. I even adverised the Kickstarter on some forums which I would usually never do. If it's a good game, I might praise it in some places as well but we will see...

It was the package from Japan and it was faster than usual, so maybe RX helps. I will see how fast the second one gets through. The neighbour was there in the evening at least...I still remember trying to get one package from a neighbour for like 3-4 days. That's the worst. Regarding the content, it was just two games I already owned but which I got damaged. Sadly, one of the games is damaged again, with the game box warped and there being a dent on the side (someone likely put something heavy on top). The other is fine at least and it's one of those late 00s 2800 Yen games. The game box feels too small though, the content is somewhat bulging which is not ideal. Well, some games are extremely cheap and Alicesoft is also always selling their digital games for just a few Yen after a few years. I wish they would keep the prices higher for longer, haha. After all, I want Alicesoft to earn some money, even if their games aren't as good as they used to be. They are still top tier when it comes to treating customers fairly (their bs digital DRM excluded). Meh, I want awesome goodies though :|
