Localizations (the best and worst)

[miyabi95_]

One thing that annoys me quite a bit is when a game is fully localized to appease western culture. It's just one of those things that abides by the motto "life is unfair." It was as if there was something wrong with experimenting with new things back then...

Here's a game that was localized pretty well for the most part...Aside from its boxart.

For me personally, anime-inspired art used to promote a game just screams "YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME IF YOU LIKE ANIME!"

Then it came to the US as a game most of us probably know...

I get that a lot of work was put into this...But really...They may as well have made a goofy cartoon/comic about it. If I were a kid and saw this, I probably would have bought the game anyway, but the boxart is not at all fit to my tastes. Maybe if I were still into silly cartoons, I would find it pretty charming in a way.
