    Although there already exists a korea thread in the japan sub-forum but
    I think this is more related to gaming than to korea in general.

    I'd like to know if it's common that korean releases feature an option for english language? I heard about this at some other location.

    And I'd also like to know whether games like Panzer Dragoon Saga, Suikoden 1+2 and the major upper price class releases were released in korea and if they differ in value from their western versions or if their even harder to get hold of

    Thanks in advance ^^

    I'd surprise the publisher would went the trouble to add English unless it's already there in the first place/original version~

Given that gamers who can read/speak English fluently are such a minority why would the publishers spend money to add English on top of Korean translation...

    As far as I know PDS was not released in Korea and if it did would've been in Japanese just like JPN version. Sometime they simply replaced the Japanese with Korean - i.e. Sakura Taisen series for PS2 were released in Korea with the Korean only (no Japanese and no English) - before releasing...
