After a worrying lack of communication from Atlus, the company recently confirmed that\u00a0Persona 5\u00a0<\/em>spin-off\/sequel\u00a0Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is finally releasing in Western regions under the abridged name of\u00a0Persona 5 Strikers<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

While a name change isn’t too surprising (though there are some fans who prefer the original title), that’s not the only thing that’s different between the Japanese and Western versions of the game. For some reason, Atlus has also made a rather curious change to the\u00a0Persona 5 Strikers<\/a><\/em> box-art, albeit a very minor one.<\/p>\n

In Japan, the box-art depicts the Phantom Thieves (the main characters of\u00a0Persona 5<\/em><\/a>) all striking dramatic poses as their throw themselves into the action, with the exception of Ryuji (aka Skull). Unlike his fellow thieves, poor Ryuji is seen being smacked in the face by an enemy in a comical fashion. On the Western box-art, however, the enemy’s arm has been repositioned and Ryuji is now readying an attack, with his iron pipe raised.<\/p>\n
