The Next Hang Out: <insert nintendo here>

Stupid reversed effect.

But it makes it look like your copy of FFIX is from the future! Or space! Or space in the future!

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

European FF covers were always the best.

So simple, so classy.

No NA boxart guys, more shit on your cover does not make it better.

[Elin]

Probably reviews.

Don't see why you should have let that stop you though, XIII was pretty decent.

Agreed. I got caught up in all the anti-hype after its English release and thought maybe I only enjoyed it as much as I did because "Yay, new Final Fantasy at Christmas! And hey, I can understand it in Japanese! That's pretty cool!". But I was watching my cousin's fiancee run through some of it recently, and I'm still quite fond of it. Not my favourite game ever or anything, but sort of unfairly slammed, as far as I'm concerned.

Wow, that is some babelfish tier translation right there.

It am slightly better than Babelfish to expect fairness.

TWENTY FUCKING THOUSAND HELICOPTERS AND AN AMERICAN SOLDIER.

I'll take 'What is the sole redeeming feature of the american Godzilla film?'


On an unrelated note, yay for securing gainful employment. Boo for it scuttling my ideas of moving interstate.

Final Fantasy XIII PAL deserted the cause, though, and gave us Lightning plastered all over the cover. Fortunately, Japan stuck to its guns, so I still have Final Fantasy XIII pretties on my shelf.

Wait, babelfish isn't a good translator?

Shit, that explains why I failed spanish.

Friend wanted to test Skype, so I figured of taking a quick snapshot before taking the camera off.

You should make a photobook. "Fer Holds Games Up to a Webcam". I'd buy it. Multiple times.

I remember seeing it back as a kid in the day and thinking.

Why the fuck that badass from The Professional isn't shooting the dinosaurs with the goddamned machine gun?

[Fer!]

...

I'll take up your offer. Seriously.

[Fer!]

I'll even write a personal story regarding EACH GAME.

I thought the raptors were pretty cool.

More movies need raptors.

And it's not like baby godzillas was used in a similar fashion over there to my knowledge.

With little godzillas typically still being fuckhuge

Babelfish actually isn't that bad for European languages, provided you know enough about the languages in question to polish up the odd glaring error. Of course if you know enough to do that, you're probably at the level where you don't really need online translators anyway.

I wanted to be the dick that posted a overly cluttered boxart, but I didn't find on cluttered eough/

Hey, it had Matthew Broderick...defiling my fond memories of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Okay, you may have a point.

Awesome. Whatcha going to be doing?

Heavy Rain is a good example of bad North American boxart.

You'd think the chick with the huge yams is the main character being that she takes up as much space as the other 3 people on the cover.

Nope, she's arguably the most minor character in the entire thing and doesn't even show up until an hour or so in. The guy you barely see over her left shoulder? Yeah, he's the real protagonist. Meanwhile, the rest of the world got a very simply and extremely classy cover. A cover which is contained in its entirety on about 1/4 of the NA box.
