Of course, if you're seriously offended by the box art, you can simply import the original Japanese version. Just don't expect any of the bonus English subtitles included in Sega's upcoming release.

Thats actually some nice box art. This game is such a day 1 purchase for me. I finished both of the previous games so I can't wait to play this one. So glad I didn't import it. Day 1 purchase from me.

Selvaria's blood-red eyes calmly piercing your pathetic soul, already entangled by waves of phosphorescent blue hair. How could you say no to that? Excellent cover. I always thought it funny, or perhaps petrifying, seeing the top of the Valkyria box peeking out from behind another game on a store shelf, because all you saw were those haunting eyes.

can't they just use the japanese version box art but change the characters to English? anyway, I can't remember if I actually d/lded this from the Japanese PSN, or if it was a dream...either way, i remember feeling very disappointed.

I would pay money if someone did digital scans of the different box arts and made them available to download and print.

I would pay 10E for a proper high resolution (600dpi or more) scan of the cover. I'll buy the game on day 1.

I wonder if they had to or wanted to change the box art because of the cigarette.

Why do there seem to be so many black and white covers in Japan? I don't think either cover is terrible or great, but the US one makes me think more of Shenmue, for some reason. Can't wait for this game to come out, as much as the first two pissed me off in various ways, I still enjoyed them. I just wish they'd finish up the Shenmue story. Dammit.

The Japanese cover art looks so much more gangster than the american version....but it still doesnt matter to me....day one purchase for me for sure!
