Here’s something that I would like to make sure people are aware of.

The NA/EU physical versions of the above game on Switch have only X on the cartridge and X-2 is a download code that gets tied to your account.

That would be… scummy, but whatever, right? Nothing we haven’t seen before on the Switch…

Except for the fact that the physical download code version of X-2 REQUIRES THE GAME CARD TO PLAY. If you were to sell that game cartridge, neither you–nor the person you sell the cartridge to–get to keep X-2. Whatsoever.

So you’re selling at a loss regardless of what you do, and that cartridge becomes effectively an incomplete product, forever. No other game that’s half digital on the Switch has done this.

Don’t support this ridiculously anti-consumer stuff. The Southeast Asian and Japanese physical versions have BOTH games on the cartridge, no half-digital BS, you can lend it to a friend and they get to play both the games, etc… and they have English language support if you set your console to English.

The Nintendo Switch is region-free, so you can buy the former SEA physical copy here on Play-Asia. https://www.play-asia.com/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-multi-language/13/70ci2j

Or alternatively, buy the Japan version from Amazon JP.

Last week I saw someone recommend rev.com as a way to make money from home by transcribing. Skeptical, I had a look to see if they were legit, and they seemed to be, so I signed up.

There's a small grammar and English quiz, and then a transcription test, to apply. If successful, you can see client transcription jobs and their pay-per-minute, choose whichever jobs you like, work as much/little as you want.
