take this comment i got on deviantART:
... Why throw away money on different regional versions? Different cover, ok, but that you could easily find on the internet and print.there is a lot of things i could have said to this. a lot. "just printing it" isn't the same. it won't be the same quality, not to mention you can't even find decent size scans of most of the covers anyway. maybe for PAL/NA but probs not for japan...and probably not the inside of the insert, or the manual.
not to mention i don't even have a printer.
i replied with this though:
I'll "throw my money away" on whatever I damn well please. :Uthat's right.
There is more to regional copies than just the cover, and there is more to being a collector than just "throwing money away". Everyone's got a hobby.
there is really no point in trying to explain these things to people sometimes. lol. at least this person says it to me and not on a forum where they don't think i'll find it. :D
ah, also the artbook isn't coming out in August... I expected as much because I hadn't seen any news from the publisher yet and August is fast approaching. Amazon changed the date to Dec 6th 2011...which if that is the date is funny because its the same day the comic collective book is coming out. At least I get more infamoose at the end of the year then, eh? lol my christmas gifts to myself. :b
tl;dr: collecting is srs bsns and infamous is my life.

LOL I KNOW. the printing thing really got me.. why would I even??? A printer would not be able to capture the quality of the official thing unless you had like an industrial printer or something. :I
yeah, exactly. lol there is a lot of bootleg inFAMOUS posters on eBay...and some of them are quite pretty, but I avoid them on the sole fact that they aren't official posters.
but despite the few peoples that have crapped on my collection I will still keep showing it off because I love it. :I hates gonna hate/etc.
Also, about fire emblem... maybe you should try getting another regional copy. :b If the cover is even a little different you might find more differences when you get the game and can compare disc art and manuals. Even my inFAMOUS vs inFAMOUS greatest hits (US reprint, pretty much) has different disc artwork. :o
English box art
Japanese box art
I haven't checked other countries, but I'm guessing they're the same since I've never seen a different cover.
Though, come to think of it, don't even have the English cover. There was only one Gamestop in my city that had the game, and they said "sorry, we lost the case". So they gave me an empty PS2 case instead.
tbh I'm not sure why sony game covers vary so much. ._. This is pretty typical for their releases...
but serious also what I do with my money really isn't anyone's business but my own. :I
True, if you want to use your money to wipe your ass then do so...;)
