Well the chinese symbols on the back of the box are the kanji for Gensosuikoden written from top to bottom in the tradtional japanese writing style.Oppenheimer: Does anyone know what all those Chinese (or Japanese?) characters are on the back of the box?
Also there are so many kanji as they have just repeated it like, SUIKODENSUIKODENSUIKODEN, that is the closest way of putting it into english.
Ps, sorry if someone already cleared this up,

I agree with all that suikoden one has the worst box art. Almost looks like a really bad SNES box art of a very non popular RPG. In fact it was suikodens box cover that almost made me pass up the whole suikoden series all together thank god i bought it when i did -.-.

Give them some slack, it was '95. What did you espect? A Final Fantasy 10 cover..... And they were just trying to give people the whole "aincent chinease lore" effect.I agree with all that suikoden one has the worst box art. Almost looks like a really bad SNES box art of a very non popular RPG.
RPG's havent always been notorious for their box art, like they are now.
Most people(who play RPG's) can tell if its a good game anyway, by just seeing it

Ya that is true. but i always look at the front of a game before i buy it then the back. Its just some habbit i have probably passed up some good games for all i know. If you want to know the honest truth to me it looks like a really bad rated "R" movie box -.-. And i do understand back then they didnt have that many good rpg box arts i agree but using real looking humans just doesnt cut it with me lol.thecontrivance wrote:Give them some slack, it was '95.

The problem is, the cover artwork used for JP and PAL releases were perfectly naturally Suikoden. The game being published in '95 isn't a good enough excuse for the abomination that is NA version of the cover artwork, for me.thecontrivance wrote:Give them some slack, it was '95.

yah I do that too....I read every inch of the game for about.....5 minutes,then I buy it(which most people should do)Ya that is true. but i always look at the front of a game before i buy it then the back. Its just some habbit i have probably passed up some good games for all i know. If you want to know the honest truth to me it looks like a really bad rated "are" movie box -.-. And i do understand back then they didnt have that many good rpg box arts i agree but using real looking humans just doesnt cut it with me lol.
I just feel sorry for those that bought Dark Cloud....BAD GAME GOOD ART
I thought it looked cool.... And plus, most old school RPG's had real looking people for fictional characters, on the box art.The problem is, the cover artwork used for JP and PAL releases were perfectly naturally Suikoden. The game being published in '95 isn't a good enough excuse for the abomination that is NA version of the cover artwork, for me.
