Western, it's a lot more dramatic and interesting. The one time Japan ever tried to imitate it created the most iconic boxart known to man.

P5 doesn't have the best designed cover know to man, but it gives you a good impression of what the game's going to be like. On the other hand, ME:A's cover shows a space marine, a barren moon and a downed space ship, giving you the impression it's about a dude surviving on a hostile planet, when the game's about exploring an uncharted galaxy.

The other cover is much better, I reversed mine as soon as I got it.

>>385992614
If it's done right, it relays a powerful image about the pictured protagonist heading out on this epic journey into the great unknown, full of mystery and fantastic worlds, all while applying the design principle of minimalism. Imagine the Breath of the Wild cover where link is on top of the mountain. Ideally it would be that same type image, but scaled much further back, as to portray the size and scope of what lies ahead.

Pictures such as the P5 cover look crowded and overwhelming, from a design standpoint, and don't really relay any of those subtextual concepts I mentioned. it's a much more practical design that basically tries to say "wow, look at me! big shiny colors in your face! here's all the characters of the game you're about to play! They're probably interesting, so play the game to find out!" It's extremely practical and to-the-point. Not a fault, just a culture difference.

However, games that make covers like ME:A miss the entire point of the potential it has and go for the "people look badass and mysterious when their back is turned to an explosion" route.

>>385994914

>money all around, clearly shows the game's theme of wealth and opulence

Kinda this. Jap coverarts often display what the game is about much better than western ones, as it's entirely the point of 'mistery'. No demos, fake screenshots, no gameplay videos, cinematic trailers only, disfunctional coverarts and all that shit, always trying to make the game seem much more than it actually is, leading to hype but no long-lasting appeal whatsoever.
Unlike Japan that has a bigger focus on steadily reaching it's target audience and relying on that, even if that audience might be shit.

Eruca's redesign hairstyle is what one of the devs wanted before it changed and more in line with the game. But /v/ won't tell you this since it's the only good redesign in the port, fits their agenda and there are actually really bads one

Most boxart is shit because companies are too lazy and cheap to pay out real talented and creative artists to hand draw and paint something grand to be the forefront of their game cover. Back in the day companies put real effort and money into their product from the cover to the color multi page instructions booklet. There's so many fantastical handrawn gem covers on oldschool NES and SNES/GENESIS games. Nowadays it's take one character and slap him on the box with the most minimal of colors (usually just black and white with red text cuz you gotta save money on color ink yo) and it's not even drawn just reused assets of the game like a cg cutout. Why hire someone and pay them good money for their skills when you can just ask one of the programmers to boot up his super xnalara renderer and take a quick pose and use that!

No clue. It's her in the picture.

But they made the original art DLC

MGS2 for sure. We missed out on MGS1 though. I liked the minimalistic design, but I would have preferred this had I known

Left is the original done by Ayima Kojima who has been the primary artist for the series since the 90s and the right is the one for the sequel to Aria of Sorrow which she did not work on.

She has a very distinct and good art style but she's been on record saying it's not as marketable, something along the lines of 'people aren't interested in my kind of art'. I can try and dig up the source if you want me to.

>>385998135
It's some of the best game art I've seen. If that character is supposed to be a vampire, she conveyed it much better than the other piece of art.

>I can try and dig up the source if you want me to.
Sure thing.

the right when compared to the left is an atrocious downgrade. looks like a shitty saturday morning anime that only 7 year olds would prefer.

Left is far better for sure but sometimes I kinda want to go into a JRPG not knowing who exactly will be joining my party from the front cover, makes it more exciting meeting new characters rather than going "oh I recognize you from the box art, guess you will be joining me soon".

>>385997073
No if you want to know about a game that's what the internet is for, but we're talking about box covers retard.

Exactly, that's why the box cover doesn't need to tell you anything about the game and just need to look nice.

Witcher 3 box art is probably the most boring and generic i have ever seen.
Not really surprising though. CDPR has fucking awful artists that can't make proper UI or any distinctive style for their games.

>>386009316
The point is it does the job of box art well.
Its the first thing people see, it has to have only few main features people will remember.
