Why does it need the top bar and the stupid PSN circle?

Maybe to avoid any possible lawsuits from people buying the game and not knowing there is multiplayer. Or maybe Sony decided to start doing that with PS3 only games, LittleBigPlanet and The Eye of Judgment also have them (the PSN banner).

My LittleBigPlanet doesn't have a banner but has that stupid PSN button.

Its just redundant having a banner saying multiplayer only then having a huge psn button saying oh hay multiplayer.
 
Same as with DQIV, which was titled Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen in Europe. Probably because the original games never came out here, change the title to avoid confusion or something random like that. I don't know why they add "The" to the title though since the title is just "Hand of the Heavenly Bride" in the US.

Weird, it doesn't even show which number Dragon Quest it is.

No, that's because DQ 8 was the first DQ to be released here in europe and it didn't had a number in the title either. Now they release every DQ without a number over here.

Why is every DQ game missing the number? Is Square trying to confuse the buyers or what? I know we didn't get any DQ game before 8 (at least before remakes), but still. it's stupid.

I think consumers would be more confused if they kept the numerals on the box art. The only people who care are fans of the series already who'll buy it regardless (Which is like, 3 people..).
 
Glad i imported Disgaea 3. Took them long enough to release it here, and it'll cost £15 more than i paid for it originally.

I have to disagree, IMO It is much classier to simply have the subtitle it says "This is a different story" and in general invokes a storylike feeling from the title. It always feels very awkward to say things like "Final Fantasy XII". very nice IMO. I really wish more publishers would do this.
 
I wonder if Persona 4 will be translated in French.
Disgaea DS, 3 and Rhapsody are translated and they are published (co-published by NISE also ? Dunno) by SE in Europe.

It's strange that SE translated games of other companies and not their own games (Star Ocean 1 & 2, for example...) !

This is a good idea horribly executed. The black area looks jarring, and there is no sense of balance or harmony between positive/negative spaces.

Its a great idea executed well. Would you rather have the africa content in black with red words on it and the colour surronding it to be red.
