This has to be the worst example of "Japan has the better box art" I've seen

Look at the Japanese box art.
It's looks cute, doesn't it?
Looks something I'd want to play.

It's hideous.
I need to kill it with a flamethrower. And quickly to save us from the horrors of....... this thing that's pretending to be Tempo.
 
I always enjoy checking out the difference between each box art. Most favorite is the original Dragon quest/warrior for the nes. Both have the same image, but japan has a manga style done by the god artist Akira Toriyama, while oversea got a dude fighting a weird shaped green dragon thing. AND don't forget Megaman 1 and 2 us box art... had a more human like megaman, till 3 which had the chibi form, but with a very creepy face, which slowly faded away with each sequel release.

Also I kinda like the not us version more

So got curious and checked out a few more dragon quest arts. Apparently the gameboy color version of dragon quest 1+2 us art has the trio surrounded by monsters ready to fight, while the japan version has them causally walking and eating/drinking. Course the Snes box art is another amazing Akira Toriyama style of trio posing. Man I love box artworks.
