 An International version of the game is available in Japan, with English  voice acting subtitled in Japanese, and an alternate Sphere Grid. (This is  standard for Final Fantasy games since Final Fantasy VII.) The international  version was also released in the Euorpean and Australian market albeit with  English subtitles instead of Japanese. The game was originally planned to  make use of the hard drive and broadband adapter accessories for the  Playstation 2, but these features were scrapped due to delays in the  production of those peripherals.
