I recently started playing FF7 again and when i was just removing the game to put it back in its case, i noticed soemthing. on the back of the case, where square has a description of the game, the i in "masterpiece" is floating above the middle of the word, like this:

i
masterp ece

is this mistake on all the games, or is this a potentially rare screwup?
(btw this is the first release non-GH us version of the game)

thanks for the help

Mine's the same way. Weird. Better call Scully.

Ok.

I bought mine the day it came out, and it looks normal, no mistakes at all.

I also got mine when it came out (FF VII was the reason why i pot a psx) and there are no problems on it.

hmmm seems like a random mistake. ill have ot look more into this.

Same here. Mine looks fine.

mine has the screwy I in masterpeice. i was wondering the same thing. just a screwup that is random.

also, mine is way down in the paragraph on the back.


its like:

masterpe ce


I

I've seen it screwed up on Greatest Hits versions, but never originals.

Probably just a typo, it happens all the time. Don't expect people to pay extra for a mispelled word :wink:

My greatest hits version doesnt have the mistkae

My first realease edition has the mistake. Good cAll.

Haha, just checked my games. My original has the mistake but my GH is fine.

I have the one when it first came out and there's no typo on mine.

I have the PC version and the word "masterpiece" is nowhere on the box.

If you REALLY want to have fun, look at the back of your GBA SP....there's a misspelled word on there.....PM me and I'll tell you what word it is for those who can't wait to get home (or get out of the chair to go get it)..

To clear things up:
The very first release of FF7 does not have the error. You can also tell that you have the first release because the ESRB rating is simply "realistic violence".
The game had another print run at some point before going Greatest Hits. This is the release that has the "masterpiece" mistake along with the updated ESRB rating (comic mischief, etc).

However, all of the GH editions should have the incorrect jewel case insert directly inside the front cover, behind disc 1. Instead of the usual airship image, it is the same Sephiroth image as the insert inside the rear cover.

I still have my day one copy of FFVII without the weird 'i' and the more descriptive esrb warning.

I sold my wifes copy that did have the 'i' and the extra ratings descriptors on feebay during the 'Great FFVII overvaluation of 06'

Yeah, I was sad because I had spent 2004/2005 buying every local copy of FF7 and reselling them for like $5 profit. They were going for $15-20 on ebay at the time. I guess I should have kept them.
