Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions review at PALGN.

"There is one heck of a black spot in the RPG genre that covers the better part of the 1990s release schedule in PAL territories. This shroud was largely due to the extra effort required by publishers to translate games into the various languages of continental Europe – cartridge space restrictions were the original excuse, which later made way for claims that the cost of localisation for these games was prohibitive, with many publishers feeling that these RPGS were unlikely to recover their costs. Even after the stellar success of Final Fantasy VII, many companies were hesitant to release their RPGs in Europe – even Square-Enix."
