Release FF Tactics in Europe (http://www.gopetition.com/online/7131.html)
Plus, as FFT was published by Square Electronic Arts in the US, a company which no longer exists (after Square’s merger with Enix) the publishing rights are up in the air.
And, as the game was released in the US over six years ago, I seriously doubt FFT will now ever find it’s way into PAL, unless Square Enix decides to make a remake of it on the PS2 (who knows, with FFXII being set in the same world as FFT and FFTA they may decide to release it as a tie-in).
But I doubt that will ever happen.
Really, if you want to play FFT that bad, mod your PSX and import the US version (that is what I did years ago). There are plenty of US NTSC copies for sale on eBay all the time, and they’re not too expensive either.

you have killed any hope
I didn’t kill any hope, more like destroying unrealistic expectations. Really, FFT is an old game, on a console that is considered pretty much dead by the manufacturer, with little market value in the grand scheme of things.
Yes, it is a brilliant game, but as Square Enix is a business who’s main objective is to make money (like all businesses), anything they release is generally in their best financial interests, not neccessarily fulfilling the desires of the consumer (aka, the player). Therefore, as Europe is pretty much considered unprofitable as a market for releasing RPGs, FFT will probably never come to PAL.
Yes, it is unfair, and I don’t agree with it either. I would have loved to play a proper PAL release of FFT instead of having to import a more expensive NTSC version. But, the brutal reality is that a PAL FFT release will almost never eventuate I’m sorry to say. Therefore, in my opinion, although petitions for a PAL release are to be commended for at least trying to make a change in policy, it’s likely they probably will not make too much of a difference.

anyway, I`ll keep trying
