There's literally nothing wrong with modifying a foreign product to increase sales.

You know Rowling didn't invent the Philosopher's Stone, right? it's an old term, and in Germanic countries it was "the wise one's stone", same here, it's not about marketability like in USA.

Really? In spanish is "Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal".

Jade Cocoon got the same treatment. The American cover is hideous while the japanese cover is beautiful.

The best one is the Ico cover

Yep, that's what I meant. Also, the "stone" was more used as a metaphor for the purification of the soul and "grand work", a lot of the all transmutating metals business was just to fool the religious authorities.

Absolutely based, you're all just jealous you don't have our marketing know-how
Nicholas Gutierrez
I've never seen that cover.

But we do.
The philosophers have only tried to explain the world; the important thing is to change it!
