The Holy Grail

[wavering]

After thinking about it for years I decided to get serious about snagging one of my holy grails.  And recently I stumbled on a Yahoo Japan Auction for Final Fantasy (MSX).  A week later and the beautiful box with all it's glorious riches shows up on my door:  http://imgur.com/a/JNNvJ#0

What is this bread and milk that you talk of ;-)

Excellent snag.  I really prefer the MSX2 version of the game, despite its scrolling speed...

because the FM music done by MicroCabin is that f*cking good.

Wow, I thought folks were hyping the cover art...but that's really exquisite. I don't give a damn about Final Fantasy beyond the music and now: the art on this box.

Is this criticism it scrolls to slow?  I HATE old RPGs that do this.

Are there any other material differences from the NES release?

There is some slow screen scrolling but this is the beauty of Final Fantasy MSX: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0CAA9FE7A2C6D20F

I used buyee and it worked out well.  I think it was about a week and a half before the item was on my door step.
