Line 219:
* ''[[The Last Remnant]]'''s Xbox 360 artwork depicted the young, typical ''[[Final Fantasy]]''-style androgynous male protagonist. The PC version, marketed to Western gamers, had a picture of an older, more badass antagonist, and a more energetic color scheme.
* ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]: Avatar Tuner'' arguably ''benefited'' from this phenomenon. The original box art for the two games depicted Serph/Varna and Sera/Varnani in static poses more reminiscent of action figures in a blister pack; the U.S. versions depict the exact same characters, but in more active poses. (Assuming, of course, you reverse the cover insert for the second game; the display box art depicts the entire cast in a battle scene, arguably embracing this trope in its entirety.) Though it's not like the game needed to be made any more hardcore, seeing as how it has plenty of demonic cannibalization anyway.
** While we're on the subject of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'', just compare the original [http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/megaten/jackbrosj.jpg Japanese cover] of [[Lighter and Softer]] spinoff ''Jack Bros.'' with [http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/megaten/jackbros.jpg this... thing].
* Hardly uncommon in ''[[Tales (series)|Tales]]'' localizations:
** ''[[Tales of Eternia]]'' (or ''[[Writing Around Trademarks|Tales of Destiny II]]'') originally had [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/image/526350.html?box=53165 a smiling group shot], which was replaced by [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/image/526350.html?box=40641 a scene of Farah and Reid ready to battle]. The absence of everyone else is... intriguing.
