[How About No]

...well, I like it.

Meets their fantasy meets reality criteria. Everything below the horizon looks ordinary and earthly, then there's fantastical shit in the distance and sky

Alternatively, HD Remake of Dusty Dunes Desert from Earthbound

...now I'll be disappointed if there isn't a traffic jam that forces the crew to go off the beaten path

 

[Nerokis]

I love the standard cover. No explosions, no violence, no nonsense. Just a group of friends on an adventure. Beautiful.

 

[.JayZii]

I like the standard version, and as a fan of Amano's art, I think the deluxe looks straight up bad.

Final Fantasy XV: Ghost Ridin the Whip

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Lol it looks like a country music album.

 

[labx]

I've never seen so many threads about one game before.

10 years man, 10 years. Now wait for the Last Guardian CE edition.

 

[Balls]

I'm 95% sure that this won't be the NA box art. Not enough explosions, guns, scrunchy faces or action poses.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I've never seen so many threads about one game before.

bioshock back in 2007 or bloodborne last year?

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

I've never seen so many threads about one game before.

Do you not remember all the Witcher 3 threads last year? There was like 3 a week

 

[Seijuro]

The standard cover looks good, but the Deluxe cover looks great. Amano should be the default cover artwork for all FF related titles.

 

[Philippo]

Looks like the western versions will have a different art?
All the pre-order pages have a temporary box art after all.

 

[EhoaVash]

One is pretty generic, the other is ugly lol

 

[Harlock]

The PS4 boxart looks sharper than the Xbox One.

 

[Garlador]

I swear, that car reminds me of something.....

 

[MilesTeg]

In the Final fantasy logo does anyone, instead of seeing the woman with her head down, see a head with something covering its eyes?

 

[eXistor]

Amano's art is pretty hit and miss for me and I think the Deluxe cover is a miss, the car looks ridiculous and if I'm being really honest: just badly drawn. The standard cover is actually quite good, it's very atypical which I like and it really drives home (ahem) the road trip feel they're obviously going for.

I'm probably getting the Deluxe version, but I'd prefer the traditional cover (logo on white background).

 

[tiebreaker]

Deluxe cover is horrible. I think it looks way too busy. And the font color kills it.

 

[Twookie]

deluxe cover text needs some black outline or something, shit's hard to read

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

It's reversible.

This actually needs to be in the OP or thread title lol.

 

[Lucky Seven]

I love all the covers. Definitely buying physical this time around.

 

[cm osi]

edit:nevermind, it's fine. reversed.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

standard is ugly. can i just have the white cover with the logo?

Read the post I quoted above.

 

[Muffdraul]

I was about to throw all kinds of shade until I saw the posts saying there will be a reversible cover with the logo only on stark white. That shit has been an FF tradition since I first started importing them in 1997 and is non-negotiable!

 

[Brian_FETO]

Deluxe font is probably hard to read because the steelbook will have it in shiny metallic writing, the flat 2D image blends despite the gradient trying to show the shiny-ness

 

[iPaul93]

The standard one looks good.

 

[brad-t]

Standard looks great! That anyone could consider a cover like this "generic" is shocking. If anything, it's a surprisingly brave choice to have use such a serene and understated piece of artwork. (Also, I don't think it's CG? Looks more in the style of concept art we've seen.)

Deluxe will probably look better in person, but I'm a bit surprised by the fact that it doesn't do much for me.

 

[Astral Dog]

I think its ok, goes with the theme of the game, emphasis on the logo, and not overshadowing with only the main character on front.

Its a good boxart.

Hell it looks better than the deluxe for once, that one is messy and the logo looks all wrong.

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Standard japanese boxart that is way different from the traditional white background and logo seen on mainline Final Fantasy games? Interesting.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

What's the standard NA box art going to be? We have confirmation?

 

[ArcLyte]

WOAH that deluxe edition comes with Kingsglaive FFXV too? Sign me the f up.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

That's Amano's work on the deluxe cover, isn't it? Gonna grab that one for sure.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Hope the reversible cover is like this:

Got the deluxe edition for that amazing art but what are they thinking with the title colour.....you can't even see the words -___-

 

[SolidusDave]

Hope the reversible cover is like this:

nah, got to be a white background.


I need it for my collection. Although the version I have of FFXI isn't white either... damn it.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

People like to give Nomura shit, but man. Most of the time, I really can't stand Amano's art.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

i love the original and deluxe box art... just wish the font color on the deluxe was different.

 

[hohoXD123]

Pretty underwhelming, the deluxe one looks ok I guess if not for the utterly terrible colouring on the text, can barely see it.

Looks much better bigger but id prefer something like the kingsglaive thing

Agreed. More cool looking sword poses and less bros go on tour.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Man, the standart ediction looks nice.

I don't like the Deluxe though...

 

[Jawmuncher]

I prefer the standard.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

People like to give Nomura shit, but man. Most of the time, I really can't stand Amano's art.

The first time i saw it i didnt like it much either, but its really grown on me and i really appreciate the impact that his art has had on the series.

It's cool to see how developers translate his art into video games with the limitations they have.

Im pumped for the deluxe cover, it stands out, i dont have anything like that.

 

[Hero Prinny]

i actually like the standard one.

 

[wmlk]

I think Amano's piece is so awesome because it didn't half-ass in being so chaotic. It's got a lot going on and I love it.

That being said, I think it would serve better as a poster instead of a cover.

 

[Ydelnae]

The deluxe boxart text is white for the Europe version

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I agree it shouldnt be the main cover, but for a collectors edition i think its perfect.

 

[Squire]

The standard cover is great. Probably a little mundane for how they want this to sell in the west, in particular. Curious if they'll change it.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Boxart = "Guys come on... Please get back in the car"

Noctus: "No thanks"

Prompto: "lol get a load of that Guy"

 

[Spiritwalker]

The deluxe boxart text is white for the Europe version

Oh thank goodness. The one in the OP is barely readable.

Either way I'm not loving the Amano one tbh. Looks too busy.

 

[mrmickfran]

Me trying to read the Deluxe edition cover like:

 

[Philippo]

The only thing that bothers me of Amano's art is that it should have the party or at least Noctis on it.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

What a great box art. The chocobo crossing sign is a nice touch.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Deluxe is amazing.

The regular does the job I guess.
