'cries' how can you laugh at me at a time like this?! 
I'm hurt, and it's sad about the FF13 Box Art!  
I can't play the game now! 
(What I'm basically saying is, that I liked the old EU boxart for the FF games. But I doubt it's gonna be a horrible game because of the change :P)

Everyone loved the Borderlands boxart when it was announced, so it's not always hate.

Because the boxart is supposed to show you what the game is about. It sets the tone of the game, so to speak. 
And of course, your probably going to look at your game case once or twice. For 60-70 dollars they might as well make it look good. 
There's good boxart, and then there is not-so-good boxart
First impressions are truly lasting impressions.

Because the people who like it move on with their lives, and those who don't want to draw people to their cause.

Because the quickest way to tell if a book is any good is to judge it by its cover. Its what all the smart people do who totally don't still live with their mother and live to troll the internet.

Well, good box art is a rare thing. People should post their favorite box covers, i'd be surprised to see what they think is good.

A more convincing argument I have yet to hear.
 
Also, because box-art is generally terrible art.

Because the box art may not be what you would imagine it be to like. The hype for the game is to blame.
