This will also serve as the European version's cover.
What do you think about it? I find it rather...uninteresting. I think past FFs have had prettier fronts! :D
I think they're relying on the name of Final Fantasy to attract buyers and they aren't as worried about the box art.
Kind of awkward almost compared to other titles, except for maybe XII. I know with Metal Gear 4 they showed his face to let you know how detailed the game was and how, well, old he was (still with attitude) but I don't really get that from this.
I'm really jealous of the Japanese. Just a white cover with the logo, I really like that.

Ah, yeah. The composition is really awkward. :x Japanese one is so much nicer.
I don't even understand caring about box art. I mean, I guess really good ones are nice to look at, but the other 95% of them just don't matter.
It's not something I particularly care about, per se. Like, I'm not going to choose whether to play a game or not based on the box art. But there are some that are really cool and some that are really bad. :DQuote:

It looks AWESOME!!! :D
But I agree, it's just not that great. It's one of those pieces of art that just doesn't strike any emotion inside of me. Just "OMG! FFXIII!!"
Japanese box art certainly looks more dignified. Ultimately that is the style I like the most, but the NA one doesn't look bad by any means.
Are you sure that's going to be the European style? All our numbered FF games so far have been like the ones Bolivar posted, with just the logo on a white background.
Don't mind the North American one too much, but yeah, I prefer the Japanese one, too.
I usually prefer the Japanese Box Art but this one is by know means terrible, I usually hate when they just slap most of the cast in their official artwork on a cover a la' FFVIII, IX, and non-special edition XII.
I usually prefer minimalist/ Amano art over flashy group photos. The cover pretty much works for me. ;)
QFT. European box arts are usually identical to the Japanese ones. Why would this one be different?Quote:

Don't Start All That Again...
Anyway, Yeah, All The FF Games Ive Owned In The UK Has The Minimilist Brilliance Of The Japanese Version.
Poor America... Why Must They Put A Massive Picture Of Lightning On There... You Don't Have To Do That. Just The Logo Nicely Planted Would Be Just As Effective And Less In Your Face.
