Here's Your Final Fantasy XIII Box Art

" The UK/European box Art always looks cooler then the North American versions. Always keeping the same theme on each iteration of FF. Hopefully this is just the US version. As a student of 3D however, thats a really nice render and has been my desktop BG for a while. "The EU version was shown first, and it's identical to this, as anyone who read the forums would know. "
Well thats a tad daft, changing the style for the PAL version after all these years.

It seems to take up more space and not make it empty. Also don't really like the gradient. =/" Isn't the PS3 branding normally on the side, and not on the top like the 360? I find this weird for me. "They changed it recently, thanks to the heavy(and rightly placed) criticism that stated it looked way too much like the Spiderman logo. "
Meh.
I think maybe I should clarify." @strangeling said:

I'm not commenting on the art / design itself, just the placement of the rating in relation to the main figure. If the rating _always_ has to appear in the lower left corner, that should be taken into consideration when designing a cover.

Also, I started thinking about what it'd look like if they flipped the cover art, so the rating wasn't right between her legs. I thought about how I hate when people do that, especially in cases like this, as it'd make her "wrong-handed." Which prompted me to rewatch some of the videos. Apparently, _this_ cover has been flipped. The cover art shows her left handed, but the videos I watched show her right-handed.
They both look awful and uncreative; can't they create some new art for the box? The background looks completely lifeless...
Well, if we're going to get technical. If the image was flipped then her hair would also be flipped, however its not. Her shoulder armour would be on her right instead of her left, but its not. Obviously she was made to hold her weapon in her left hand specifically for the cover.Apparently, _this_ cover has been flipped.

They probably don't really care about staying true to what hand the character uses. It's probably more along the lines of, "this pose is cool, but we need to show her holding her weapon too."
I'm not even sure why I care enough to bring this stuff up. I've given up on FF games. They always look pretty, but I can't stand to play them.
" @jakob187 said:That's much better, it follows the tradition of just showing the logo that ALL twelve other games have followed." Bland as fuck! "If you think that's bad check out the European box art:
Same as always... "
Besides, that's not our box art. The first image released on the new one with Lightning had the PEGI logo.

sigh, can't they just divide all the combat numbers by a 1000 and stop with the number thorwups all over the screen? mixed feelings about the whole series for ages now. loved the beginning, but skipped the last half dozen or so, not really into the metrosexual anime gymnast thing that japan seems to can't get enough of.
