This is a recreation of the NTSC (USA) Phantasy Star 2 box art, using the original artwork as seen on the Japanese release. Lots of care was taken to recreate the box in hi resolution -- all the fonts are identical to the original, the screenshots have been recreated, and even the barcode is the real deal. Essentially this is a merging of the two covers; what Sega might have done with the cover had they not westernized the art.
**Apparently there are some of you who don't understand the concept here, so I'll try to dumb it down a bit: This is a US Genesis style box using the JAPANESE artwork originally created for the game. This is --not a simple 'recreation' of the box.--

Comment on The Snake's Phantasy Star 2 w/ Japanese art Box Art / Cover.
It's a nice recreation, but the main purpose of this site isn't recreating boxes. It's making covers to enhance the boxes they came from.

I don't think you understand what I did, then. Have you not seen the US box?

Here is the box that the US version received: link
As you can see, I wanted to keep the basic US Genesis box design but use the Japanese artwork. Rather than simply scanning the US box and changing it, I recreated it. Please, read the description more carefully next time.

@The Snake He said that Vgboxart's main purpose is to have people to make custom box arts and not recreations. But this doesn't mean that you did something wrong posting this recreation here
