I can find many but I'll only mention the one that bothers me deeply:

Spoiler: click to see the box art

Without spoiling you all I can say is this box art has a specific deep meaning that eventually makes sense as you play it. No, it's not about "romantic love", it's beyond that. Especially when you get to know the girl and the boy, the life they live and how their ordinary life and trivial existence become part of a divine situation you see their tragic relationship with each other in one of the route in the game that I can say "true story". Also the tall building in the distance and the dragons means a lot for the game.

When Japanese developers sees their video game as artwork that has abstract deep meanings, but then they look at Americans all they think is "Americans only care about violence" then they just put some generic box art that indicate "there is an action in the game, it fits to your sense" lol. So here is the awful American version box art:

Yeah, man, show me a guy holding a big sword like this is all the game is about. The bigger the sword, the higher the testosterone, right? And put some girl there. It's bonus if the guy seem he protecting a girl. lololol

Mischief Makers Jp box art is art

Most, but not all. especially if the game is Japanese developed. There's so many but I'll pick the first one that comes to mind.

Honestly it be a lot harder to do the opposite.

These US covers are a war crime

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Honestly there’s a lot, though funnily enough this might be a case where I say the international art is better

The poses are more dynamic, it shows off the first stratum where the first part of the game actually takes place, they’re all in battle poses like they’re about to fight whatever’s in the labyrinth and Armoroad is now in the back, better representation of Etrian Odyssey III if you ask me. Shame HD went back to the old art.

The first Etrian Odyssey’s box art I’m mixed on though. The Japanese box art has them all in battle poses but there’s no fucking background lmao. The western box art has art of the labyrinth, but the characters look like deers in headlights. Combine the two personally

Wow they thought "Americans will love this box art because they love to get high" lololol.
