So, I've nearly finished my first custom cover. Unfortunately I can't find a translated blurb for the back of Tales of Phantasia's box. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

There's lots or Tales of Phantasia repos on the market, but I'm not sure if they use translations from the SNES box or just use the text from the back of the US GBA version. Here's a couple examples I found on eBay:

And my Japanese, is far from perfect, but here is my rough translation of the text of the SFC box found here:
http://fantasyanime.com/legacy/top_boxback.jpg
"For the first time on the SFC, Namco presents a new fantasy role playing game featuring the character design of Mr. Kousuke Fujishima. The game's beautiful graphics make full use of the 48 Mega capacity, and also includes fully voiced AI. There is also an entirely new type of battle system - the LMB system makes super realistic battle scenes a reality, just like the best action games. A story of magnificent love and courage awaits you!"
The yellow text at the top just repeats the title in Kanji, "Tales of Phantasia"

My Japanese is far from perfect. but, let me fix that for you.

Thanks, The acronyms aren't spelled out on the box, so I left them as initials in my translation. I guess if NeroReaper is replacing all the Super Famicom iconography with Super Nintendo logos and labels, than SFC should be transliterated to SNES or Super NES. I wasn't sure what LMB stood for so thanks for the assistance there. Good to know there's another Japanese translator on the site, and that my translation was accurate. If you can, soundwave925 was trying to translate some other boxes here: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=22388.0 Perhaps you can be of some assistance? There were a few key characters I couldn't understand.
