Left is the original French cover, right is the English localization.
We’ve talked before about how the only people who really understand localization decisions are the people who make them, but this one does make me genuinely curious if someone told them “If you have a sexy lady on the cover, you need a dude with no shirt or else they’ll say its sexist”.
I know it wasn’t they realized the outfit was ridiculous, because six months later they released this cover.
