Because I felt like looking at covers that would be more pleasing to the eyes.

Eventhough this doesn't really apply for me some gamers might make judgements on games in the video game stores just from the cover and there are numerous titles with box art out there that will catch your eye for good reasons.

Here are some that I favor and nope they're not all FF

from these examples it is easy to tell that “great” is subjective

And of course the FF covers. My favourites are a tie between FFX and XII (the ones with the logo and the white background).

don't remember those last two examples. Are they for other countries? I especially love that Infamous one.

The MGS4 cover is the standard european cover, the inFamous one is the special edition.

Overall Earthbound's box is okay but I think is put up on level because that was one of the first games you noticed when you walked into a game store back in the day.

Fine sorry. Congratulations you're all morons except Shlup who is, of course, not at all a moron.

Is that better?

I see neither your nor Shlup providing an example as to what is good boxart.

Well those last two are eye-catching and I might have been convinced to go on boxart alone for that shattered memories game. Who knows if I would've been dissapointed or not.
