Let me just say; HORRIBLE. Too crowded, too ugly, and they turned the Lotus Blossom into some amazon whore. Looks like the cover for some cheap novel.

Jesus the dude on the left sure is cheesy (as is the zombie with his icy breath)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this game be good. The premise is so good and untouched.


*edit LUCK DRAGON? :lol
 
Since I don't play boxart(but rather games) I don't give two shits.

The game, however, will be the best thing since sex on sliced bread. Or KOTOR 2. Anyhow, buy it or I'm gonna punch you in the genitals.

It would be a great box art if they would get rid of the characters at the bottom.

Agreed

I am looking forward to this game though. Just started KOTOR yesterday and I am now officially on the Bioware bandwagon!
 
For some reason I actually like the boxart, I suppose the style is just to my liking. And those screens are very yummy. I'm off to research this game right now.
 
Boxart = /shrug. Coulda done better.

Screens = Damnit, I just got to work. Now I have to go back home and change my shorts. :D
 
yeah, i also noted a resemblance to the shenmue 2 boxart. VERY TAN PEOPLE GRIMACING! GRRR! :lol

Honestly I thought that's the look they were going for all along in the game too.

As for me:

Like the box art.
Love the screens.
Love all the info I've heard about this game so far.

It'll probably be my xbox GOTY 2005.
Can't wait.
 
The reaction of too many people:
"oh no, they don't look like my familiar FFX-2 Japanese pop star half-japanese half-white teens, what am I to do"
 
I'm far from being a JRPG whore, and I think that boxart is butt-ugly. It looks like something Ubisoft's regular cover artist would come up with.

Note to publishers: Why don't you get one of the artists on the developer team to produce the boxart?? At least you'll get something that is a decent representation of the underlying game.
 
Eh, the box art is actually pretty good for a Bioware game, or a game made by a former PC developer in general actually. Who gives a damn if the box looks hot though? All I care about is that the game inside needs to be rockin', and Jade Empire looks to fit that bill to a T. :)

Prone to being presumptuous are we?

It's even more laughable to say 'half-japanese half-white' considering how caucasian-esque these supposedly chinese characters are. Hell the main female could easily pass for Latino and also is almost interchangeable with Farah from PoPSoT.

Game will stick kick arse but it still got some rolleye worthy elements, the pointing out of which doesn't make you some J-pop shemale lover.
 
Ah, the inevitable "we know nothing about the game, so we'll trash it by harping on insignificant flaws!" posts. GAF never disappoints

And that comes from you? :P
 
Nice boxart. Don't see the problem...although they could lose the monsters and the guy...and hust have Lotus...it worked for DOA. :P

Bioware kinda suck tho....it's not even 2005 and yet it's almost if GOTY has been decided with Jade Empire. Boring.
 
My issue is that they've got this great mythical Chinese universe to draw from, and all they do is put a bunch of screaming people (or a person, a ghost, and a monster) on the box.

And Lotus does indeed look different, even if it's just the way they've presented her. The stupid pose + the wild hair makes her look like an amazon woman.
 
Don't let the kids change your opinion. This boxart looks like a generic fantasy setting novel, and my fear is that the game will probably be not as good as KOTOR (which is great but overrated when cited as one of the best RPGs of all time). The screens are ok, but I don't think the in-game art is really that good. It better have an incredibly original story, because the setting won't bring everyone looking like KOTOR did.
 
Jade Empire just reminds me of Shen Mue. Semi-realistic characters (discounting the magic and stuff), and yet the most immersive world imaginable.
 
The box art looks good like some said above" Like a movie poster"

they turned the Lotus Blossom into some amazon whore

What is a "Amazon whore" ? If they give a female character huge breast she's a skank and if she has skimpy close she's a skank whore. So now if she has normal sized breast, decent clothes and she fights she's a "Amazon whore" ? :lol
 
Bah... everyone complains about box art. Like someone said, I suppose that no game has EVER had decent box art according to some people...

Jade Empire > * in 2005.
