That guy seems to just Babelfish his translations; I haven't seen the blog mention any exclusive art for the overseas versions. And it's not called Jack English Edition, that's a Babelfish goof. The real name of the actor who recorded it is Jack, that's why the name Jack is there.
Honestly, what the heck is the point? Anyone can go to Babelfish and type in a URL. Anyway, they're totally unreadable! I tried going through just one entry and it made no sense whatsoever. My two cents.

I'm officially disappointed by Existence.
I was very much looking forward to it, and it somehow didn't match my expectations. To be more precise, it's kinda funny how all the sequences are strictly non-interactive (you can't zoom them unlike demo theater), but the disc managed to remain a dvd-rom instead of a dvd-video.
As a dvd-rom, it lacks several features (like, you can skip "tracks" but you cannot fastforward them) - and it still requires a PS2 to be seen, which kinda hamper the original intention imho. Had it been on a dvd-video I could have screened it to my parents, for example.
Oh, and the additional footage (battle with bosses etc) wasn't really filmed in a cinematic way so it didn't feel integrated with the rest. Also, the whole Existence is extremely long, but they did skip at least one major scene (snake and Eva on top of the mountain). Since it was that long, they may as well kept that too.
OK, end of my rant. The rest of the Subsistence package is pure gold!
