    I find it funny that people actually expected quality:

    To the box -. it was pretty obvious that only the JAPANESE version has the beautiful box that was first presented. EU and US images always displayed the cardboard square.
    To the statue - You could see that the statue was tiny from the videos. The one they presented on the Unboxing was bigger and better quality, I am very sure it is only being included in Japan.

    I had considered the physical CE when I first saw the unboxing. When I sae the price that changed and when the first images about the EU version, I was sure. EU/US got shafted on the quality and I highly doubt it will be replaced for anyone.

    I don't find it the slightest bit funny. I did not purchase this, but it's absolutely reasonable for people to expect to receive the item they were shown as incentive to plunk down that kind of money, and for it to be of decent quality.

    False advertising, plain and simple, and people shouldn't tolerate it.

    I did not really mean that it is funny. Quite the contrary but I did see this coming:

    The box on the preorder page was obviously not the fancy one that was at the unboxing
    The size of the statue was never mentioned
    EU/US prices were artificially raised and we never received an explanation.

    You have to imagine that the Japanese community received something equal to the PREMIUM CE. We just got the STANDARD CE in lower quality.

    Why do you think Live Letters are only in Japanese unless Yoshi is on a convention outside of the country? Because they target the JAPANESE community. Square is a Japanese company so this is not at all surprising if you know a bit about the culture there. What really counts is their opinion, US and Eu are nothing but wallets to them.

    I encourage people to complain but I don't think it will move anything unless the Japanese community actually complains about this. I am not blaming it on the players in Japan though, they do not make these decisions.

    Why do you think so little changes from the EU/US suggestions are being implemented? It's the sad reality. We were sold the CE for almost double the Money (in case of UK) while as much as possible was saved when making the EU/US versions
