The cover art (it’s not clear about the actual content) for the Japanese console versions of X-Blades, which happen to be getting voice work by famed seiyuu Rie Kugimiya, differs rather less than subtly between versions.
Why all these differences are felt necessary is perhaps best left for you to consider…
Via Chirashi no Ura.
In case you were wondering, and perhaps mocking the PS3, the version for western markets is even less stimulating:

Alas, the console wars have ended. This settles everything.
i sense many mods coming for this game... though it honestly doesn't look all that great to begin with... meh...
Sony should STFU and let the game-makers do WHAT THEY KNOW HOW TO FUCKING DO. Ain't gonna sell shit if it's itty-bitty-titty-committee type shit.
Man the western version covers are ugly.
Agreed.
Agreed 2nd
Just buy the western version, and buy a Japanese version, and swap cases :3
Content is going to be screwed up to pass censorship laws in the US.
Ummmm... it's a US-developed game.
So why is content developed for the US first and foremast going to get screwed up by international release?
That's an especially odd stance to take in an article about one of the JAPANESE releases getting (mildly) censored.
Besides, most of the censorship lately has been on Japan's releases, not our's.
In related news, the NES has recently fallen from it's dominating 95% market share.
Well, shit's obviously fucked, I say we get some quality developers, scripters, artists, y'know, make a game SO FUCKING AWESOME that removing any damn bit of would fuck the thing up entirely. Show those muthafuckas who's boss.
This is getting seriously annoying.
How far is MS ready to go in japan, eroge on 360?
And what is Sony doing to counterattack?
Kutaragi was nuts but at least Playstation meant something back then.
Now with all these exclusives and better treatment for multiplatform games, ms is grabbing market shares slowly but surely *pukes*.
Can anyone tell me what the fuck happened to Japanese protectionism btw?
I seriously can't wait for square to launch their hardware and screw the yankees very deep; it'll come eventually. (with some help from nintendo or sony i guess..).
In the meantime it's a freaking pain to see the current neverending attacks by MS on the japanese market :cries:
The day the 360 goes eroge is the day I'll buy a 360. Otherwise, I stick to my PC
It's just fucking pantsu, you ignorant douchebag.
JUST a pantsu...!? Those words cant be togheter except for "You cant see just one pantsu".
Caution, racist fanboy fallout approaching. Flee from the wheabo!
Plus, Sony shot themselves in the foot by not advertising the first realy great game, Valkyria Chronicles. Don't blame M$(gotta keep up with the duesch baggyness), blame Sony.
Sony hogs all the fucking good games and dumbs it down. *snickers* The Developers made KHII so that you can upskirt Kairi near the end-of-game with the camera.
Wow! Fanboy much?
Unless you're an investor, I don't see why you'd need to care about any of the companies. qq moar fanboy
Also, the game doesn't even look that good. Try some AAA titles, raise your standards. There are plenty on both systems, both exclusive and multiplatform.
So the consensus is i'm a fanboy.
I expected more from peeps on this site; oh well.
Like what? You posted a rant about how Western companies shouldn't move into Japan's market. I guess Japan shouldn't move in on ours either? Goodbye Nintendo, Sony, etc.
If you want to blame anyone, then blame the consumers. If they cared as much as you do about preserving their GLORIOUS NIPPON VIDEO GAME MARKET then they wouldn't buy Microsoft's products.
Dunno, I expected comprehension, support.
What western companies? we're talking about MS and their endless funds here, it's not like ubisoft or any other developer is in a position to pose any threat to jpn developers, in JAPAN.
My rant is about Japan buying those western products due to the lack of reaction on Sony's end.
I do blame Sony more than anything here.
For starters, every game from the major jpn 3rd parties should have AT LEAST been multiplatform, if not exclusives for PS3.(thinking about vesperia, so4, IU, LR & Dead Rising that started it all)
Then you've got Atlus that keeps releasing their flagship series on PS2, that certainly doesn't help.
What does Sony do about it, absolutely nothing. (except securing versus 13, if there's any truth to that at all)
But in the end, what can Sony do against an opponent with endless funds?
Btw Japan wouldn't have needed to move in on the western market, since it created it in the first place.
Thank god Nintendo is on top, though, that's mildly reassuring.
You act as though Microsoft/Xbox360 never does anything decent. I guess you've never played Fable 2. Oh wait, you're a weaboo, you probably shun western RPG's like the fucking plague.
God damn, do I wish people would learn to spell weeaboo.
Do you go around telling people to "fuque" themselves? No. You don't.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO INSULT SOMEONE, SPELL IT RIGHT!
Fucking 4Chan DROPOUTS only know what GTFO means.
I've said elsewhere that a Sony which is not in a position to launch a competitive PS4 would leave the (gamer) console market without any competition for MS, which is hardly likely to encourage competitive pricing and innovation.
Who else would step in to challenge them?
You couldn't have said it any better.
This is what PC gamers have enjoyed, competitive pricing on hardwares. ATI and nVidia have been one-upping one another that prices of cards have fallen so good that I could actually afford a HD 4850 now.
I'll wait a few years of one-upping from Sony and M$ before I get one of the next-gen consoles. Till then, I'll wait for PC ports.
At least, when I get my console, I'll have a great library of games to choose from, like I did with the PS2.
with the ps3 and its advanced hardware all i can think of is the dreamcast and how everybody said it was ahead of the times. im having the same arguements with ps3 fanboys as i did with sega fanboys some of them are even the same people. if sony ends up like them then the gaming market is doomed. microsoft would take over and just start producing shitty games and everyone would buy them because theyre sheep its pretty sad when you think about it. it will be the gaming market crash of the 80s all over again.
Yeah who indeed will challenge M$ for high graphic+hardcore games? Not to mention graphic/adult content. So far Nintendo seems content with family friendly titles, which is all well and good I suppose, but...even if they step up in the next gen...would they be taken seriously?
Or, more to the heart of the matter, is Nintendo even capable of such a feat?
Only secretly, as so far no worthy developer with the balls to change things wants to make a Wii Game.
I think the more important quality of this game is the fugly character art.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to think that. The first time I heard about this game was kotaku going on about how awesome and hot it looked... it looks AWFUL. It's like a westerner 13 year old's attempt at an anime character. (I say westerner because Japanese 13 year olds often actually have talent)
Damn right, fucking Westerners only copy; can't draw worht a shit, save for a few who rose up from the flock. Stan Lee, not sure, but I give a 8.2.
Damn, misspelled "worth".
WAY TO GOS PS3
show to those microsoft who's the real ugly
F*ck it. I like the 360 cover. I don't see how more coverage is better in this case.
Hmmm... I don't know about you guys. Sure the other cover shows more skin but still it doesn't change the fact that all of those cover arts suck. =/
My thoughts exactly...
Better than looking at nude Goku pics.
Gwahahaha! 360 wins again!
And who said they wouldn't?
Console wars are over, Wii wins them all. 360 has the moral victory due to high quality games
PS3 won the Blu Ray thing but no one cars cause they came in dead last in sales and games.
Well clearly somebody cares or they'd have sold no units. I have a Wii and PS3. The Wii is awesome for the kids and the PS3 is awesome because of the shear amount of things it can do as opposed to the Wii/360 which are just game machines.
but i have all three and my library for the 360 is much larger than i have for the the ps3. as the much more it can do? you mean like the video rentals? the one that the 360 has much more in? but honestly why pay for netflix when you can just torrent for free? and home is boring as fuck and filled with a bunch 12yos. or did you mean little big planet? the wii beats it in kids games sorry.

PS3 is a sinking orb and the 360 is the Earth Alliance (or something like that) either way im sticking to the PC, it can never go wrong lol
i want TEH RIE on my EU version too...(and the 360 cover)
M$ buys everything...Sony will really fall this way...
All covers look pretty shitty actually.
Better than the new Pokemon Rescue Team crap. Little children can hardly stand it.
the jap covers has a loli, the american cover has something that looks it was from ps1 and the pc version is the only one that has a decent cover
