This seems about the best place I could possibly ask something like this, so I'm hopeful. I'm familiar with identifying Final Fantasy bootlegs rather quickly via their boxes, but I'm trying to help someone determine the authenticity of a Sebastian Michaelis. (It's a "friend of a friend got it from Japan" sort of deal, and we're trying to dis/prove the friend's friend's credibility. *snort*) Am I looking for anything other than silver, indented text and blurry/discolored text and pictures, as with FF Play Arts boxes? Also, is the box more of a matte finish? The only actual legitimate pictures I've been able to find are extremely small, not as well-lit as I'd like, and I'm worried that I won't be able to tell for certain. I mean, I'm assuming the face alone will be enough even through the plastic, but I've been surprised at the quality of some bootlegs lately.

Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to help me out. (And probably a mountain of thanks after the fact, too.)
