I don't know why anyone would be proud of not owning US games. Shunning the good US exclusive games just because they're not Japanese is as silly as having a (near) complete US collection but no PCE gems.
100% agree. Plus, some games, even with basic story lines, are more enjoyable translated/dubbed into English (sometimes for unintended awesomeness...like the English vocals in the two songs from Last Alert/Red Alert...I love them).
Tats can suck my left one. Order of the Griffon, among others, is worth owning.
