url don't work ;)
Does anyone know what all those Chinese (or Japanese?) characters are on the back of the box?
i have no clue.i found that to be dumb since it wasn't explained.i say it's most likely to do with the characters in the game for some odd reason.

That's strange, it loads up fine for me. However, that just shows the US version, and I'm sure many of you are familiar with that already. If not, then just click the other link I provided.

Well, Suikoden I had a PS2 style box and cover when I first rented it. It was just like the one up there, except with a black background, but the back is/was the same as it was on the more commonly known ps1 cases. Don't forget, when the Sony Playstation first came out the cases where much like they are now, only a bit bigger.
I hope everything is going delicious.

I think I will print them out, then I can put my Suikoden and Suikoden II games next to my III-IV and Tactics ones ^^ then it will look all nice together, of course I'm keeping the jewel cases though.

My mother is an artist. She has the paper that feels like the paper in the ps2 covers. I mean, its not the EXACT same material, but it is close enough for me. I saved the pics that Buff so kindly gave to my comp and printed them out with the material. I took some crappy dvds i hated and removed the cover, disc, and little sheet thing inside! Voila! Suikoden I and II in boss new cases! I really owe ya one Buff. Thanks again!

:shock: Wow, I've been putting off getting a printer for a long while. But thanks to you, Buff, I'm getting one my next paycheck. Those covers are awesome! :mrgreen:

If it helps (like, if it ever comes up in the future) there's one very easy way to tell if a game is NTSC or PAL. We don't have the same rating system as you. So, if you ever see a box with the T in the corner (or whatever the other symbols are) then you'll know it's American. We use an age rating (3, 7, 12, 15 and 18).
