So, I guess someone uploaded a 2 CD US (I think. It’s in English) beta version of FF9 to their website (you go find it, as I’m sure such a link is not permitted here). Sadly, I have yet to play the full version, so I have no idea how it differs (though it must, since the final was 4 CDs).
Hmm… I’m not one for really being that interested in betas… they’re usually almost unplayable and often only differ in tiny ways from the final version. I definitely don’t have time to play through a beta RPG, in particular. ^^;
