True story: the Japanese boxart for the games are so much better than the American versions. With the exception of IV where they FINALLY learn that they just can't do it better.

I liked the American boxart for EOI.

Yeah well... You often find American marketers thinking things like "it'll confuse the player to see a portrait that isn't in the game. They'll want that character."

... Happens more with action games and junk, but still; it's possible.

*shrugs* Could also have been a form of censorship. (wild speculation)

Though those are shooters, so it's arguably apples and oranges. Us haughty, posh, American/European RPG players look upon those covers and scoff. "Ugh, how *distasteful* Waiter? Waiter, yes, this game is pointing a *gun* in my face, could you send for a new one."

I was only being half serious (actually 1/3 serious), but... I mean, considering the age groups they may be trying to appeal to... And most games that do feature guns pointed at you are rated "M" or higher.

I was mostly TOTALLY joking, though.

It really DOES seem strange, though, that they would keep the whole of that image and change only gunner-girl.

I would get that accessory set if the casing and bag fits a 3DS XL/LL. I was a little sad that the casing and bag from the EO4 Hori set I bought was meant for the original 3DS model.

The stylus for Shin EO does look similar too. But it is definitely a better stylus to use compared to the stock version.

I would get those items if they didn't have Frederica's face all over it. Seriously. Already I have a dislike for this girl. Her voice isn't as stellar as the rest of your teams and damn it, Lacuna, Simon, and Arthur should get merchandise too!!!

Then again, I have a bias against loli, a bias against Gunner's, and a bias against games revolving around amnesiacs. I must replace her with a Troubadour if what I've heard about the was correct.
