Is This Tales of Vesperia's Boxart?

In what appears to be the second entry into today's "Is This (insert game here)'s Boxart?" mini-series, I give you a possible North American boxart sample for Tales of Vesperia, courtesy of Walmart.com.

Even though the game is hitting Japanese 360s next week, and follows up on our shores in less than a month, Namco Bandai North America is extremely tight-lipped on the game. Even their official website shows basically nothing.

We currently have no way of knowing if the above truly is the final draft of the North American box or not, but our guess is that it is. Why Walmart.com has a picture of it and no other online retailer? No idea. But I just don't believe that there is someone over at Walmart.com with enough talent in photoshop and interest in this game to whip something like this up just for kicks and giggles.

After Soul Calibur IV releases worldwide this week, perhaps we will finally get those Namdai peoples talking. Until then, gaze at the above picture and dream of what could be.

Me? I don't mind it (it's much better than ToA's abomination), but I'd still prefer the Japanese box on this one. What about you?

Pretty slick, I actually prefer it to the Japanese art. Not that I'll be playing this one-- not a fan of the Tales series.

That's a shame. They're good games. Tales of the Abyss was especially good (minus the horrendous load times).
