The Game "Fatal Frame"

[WeskerIncarnate]

You really need to play the first two to get the full impact of the third. Although the first and second are only loosely related the third links with them both quite closely.

I've found that the English stuff isn't on the Japanese disc, but there is a fan project to sub the game with English subtitles and replace the Japanese files with English ones.

And yeah, I know you need a Japanese Wii to play the games. There are a few ways around that, however.

Ah, I see.

I wonder how...?

Or can it not be discussed?

[Darkmoon]

No, it can since it's not pirating stuff. Honestly, however, I'm not really clued up as to how to do it myself yet.

[WeskerIncarnate]

But it is possible. I wonder what ways there are around region locking.

Yeah, I have no idea myself. You could probably crack the game and remove it, similar to how people remove DRM from MP3s and games. But I'm sure it's easier said then done, if possible at all.

It's not at all difficult.
I had (my legitimately purchased copies of) Biohazard Zero and Biohazard (REmake) running on my PAL Wii long before the Western localizations were released.

Homebrew channel. Gecko OS.
Hey Presto - region free Wii gaming.

I went from having no idea to up and running in a few hours. Google knows all.

I'm currently playing the third. It goes rather slowly at times, mostly because I get lost a LOT. x_x It's quite chilling though, I really love it so far. It was a rare, expensive find but worth it.

While I haven't played the first two, I remember seeing and hearing a lot about them. Would somebody tell me...

Are the twins from the second game Kei's nieces? Is that why the crimson butterfly motif is in his sections? Why does he only talk about one?

Well, if you wanna know...Spoiler:

Yes, the twins are his nieces. And he only talks about one because only one made it out of the village. The other was sacraficed to seal the Hellgate.

Heh. I thought so.

I will definitely consider that then. Region free games=good.

Ohh, okay. Thank you.

Awesome game. My friends and I have played through the second one and beaten it. Almost done with the third.

It's not so much as scary, just REAL jumpy. And creepy. Hum.

[Inferno04]

Alright, now I've finished Fatal Frame 3. I'm pretty sure I know what happened, but to double check...

Is Kei dead? His body disappeared into ash on Rei's couch, something that happened once people went missing...So is he gone for good while Miku and Rei live?

[Darkmoon]

Possibly...

There is a second ending to the Game where it appears he makes it through alive. Typically in these games, however, the first ending is the true one so...
