>>389186282
That is the PS4 box art
>>389187934
Nah, Sakuai should do more boxarts.
Certainly better than the other games.

Would you rather have the snes one? They are the same so what difference does it make being the original or the remake?

>>389187695
a bunch of characters in the cover, why are these considered good?
>>389188101
What the fuck are you talking about look at 90% of the cover posted and look back the amateurish mess that is the smash cover. You're either trolling or can't separate your presumed love for the game with the quality of the cover like a good smash autist.
>>389188836
Smash box is perfect illustration for the content inside.
I'd figure a hater like yourself could agree with that.
>>389188778
What's inherently wrong with having multiple character on the box art vs 1 or 2?
You can have a good or shit boxart regardless of character numbers.
>>389188672
Hi everybody, let me introduce myself.
I'm a huge faggot, please let's be friends.
>>389189467
i know,but still they all look generic,simply nothing in special
>>389185846
Wow so they changed the title just due to the localized american title? Originally it was just Legend of the Holy Sword 2. I suppose it's fine as long as they keep that part, it only adds to the game's mystique to its Japanese players to see the alternate US title too.
West is getting beaten in this thread
>>389190036
The series became "Mana" internationally after Legend. Ports of the old games have their localized title alongside them to keep the unifying "Mana" name.
I always preferred the localized box art for this game.
>>389190220
Simple box art. But what more do you need?
>>389190348
Looks like an illustration out of a 1970's magazine.
>>389190467

>>389190979
That's shit m8.
>>389190878
Forgot the artist's name, but using any box art she drew is basically cheating.
Art>stylized logo>80's movie poster style>picture of rendered characters from the game
>>389190947
Ma boi.
I'm noticing PS1 has a lower average of good boxarts.
>>389191541
Oh PS1 has loads of good box arts. Just most of them are Japanese. N64 had better US-region box art though.
>>389185846

Excuse me, make way for the best.

Altered Beast's box art is the most rad image on any game's box ever, prove me wrong.

Why the fuck are they wasting money trying to fix something that isn't broken
It looks like a great deal of effort went into it too, but the artstyle is so fucking SHIT
Regardless, Seiken Densetsu 3 is vastly superior
Just cuz americucs haven't played it

Also i have so many questions about this game nobody wants to answer.

No extras?
Then why the fuck its $60.

Must suck, I think in LatAm we get the same edition as the U.S. but I am currently in Canada, it's odd, some games have the French label, some don't, it's too fucking big.
At least the ESRB rating is easier to implement to already existing art since it's kind of plain looking.

>Jap box """""art"""""
>>389203539
I read one time here that the cover art was supposed to be something else, an independent piece of art done by some skilled artist and that one of the devs saw it and liked it so much that he bought it and the rights in order to use it for the cover of the game, look at the characters too, they look quite a bit different than the rest of the cover.
I have no info about this other than this rumor, but if anyone knows the story or has a link to it, it would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I knew the answers but I don't. I can only say that I vaguely remember seeing someone comment about it only being two player for the 3rd game. The person who said that could be wrong, though.
I just want the game. I'll probably end up getting the Japanese version eventually. I don't have much hope for a localization.

>>389204963
Actually, it's not just implied. One of the dwarves uses the word "his" when talking about him.
>>389195286
Unironically this
>>389197249
They really are
Many may disagree, it's just something about the colour composition and thick white japanese text that really does something for me.
>>389205553
They didn't even try with the US box art.
Actually, it does take some effort to remove the back ground art.
>>389195286
Can't find a good resolution for the full thing
>>389203993

This one fits better the game because it looks way more depressing than the western cover
>>389203993
it is art though
>>389185846
>>389206525
I wish more games used this kind of aesthetic. I don't even know how to describe it, its just nostalgiac I guess

>>389206525
I particularly like how accurate this is to the game experience. I guess it helps that the devs went to incredible lengths to characterize and differentiate the races, especially with the armor textures.
This was a massive incentive to play more oddball characters like a High Elf paladin, Dark Elf rogue, etc. They had so much flair. The aesthetics of some races are still unmatched by any fantasy game. Have any other RPGs gone for the classic D&D manual look in-game?

Is SH2 one of the rare cases where the NA boxart is the best?
>>389211583
something about the composition of that always felt a bit off balance.
Then they made this. They made more clutter but at least it's more even.
>>389210161
Shame they ruined it when they introduced Luclin models.
>>389211958
It's the Wii logo me thinks I can't stand the clutter, but at least it's good clutter.

Nips don't do watercolors (they were already rare by the 90s anyway) for anime anymore so you'll never see this sort of thing again.
>>389194913
is this real?
>>389203641
Hell the game isn't bad at all. People only shit on it because they think all grid-based Bomberman games are just like the phone clones.
I was born in 99' but this makes me feel early 90's nostalgia.
One of my all-time favorites.
>>389215149
The game is really good.Composer and Writer died last year
>>389188135
Best game for dates.
>>389214662
How new can you be? There is a very popular edit of that box where they remove some letters that gets posted all the time
>>389194913
so the game is called "10 out of 10"?
>>389215206
Jesus, that sucks. I always listen to the Crysta track when I want to get comfortable.
>>389215149
I was born in '87, but I too feel retroactive nostalgia for a decade I wasn't aware of. You probably experienced some of the old media and music through older folk and feel like you were there.

Well it doesn't exist, so it really doesn't matter. Even if it did, it would be the Nintendo PlayStation and not exactly be Sony's anyway.
>>389216305
who knows, we might actually get the yellow font for the PS4 remake, assuming it gets localized.
>>389193606
Man the marketing for this game was huge. I remember seeing the commercial so fucking much. The power of disney money I guess
>>389216440
what would even be better is if they made it gold shiny lettering instead.
>>389215791
>>389216092
Eh, I honestly think the SNES one looks better. You can see the characters more easily, and the contrast is better than the PS4 boxart. It looks all washed out.
But does it really matter? Why are people arguing about which console has the better boxart? It's kind of silly.
Still my personal best
>>389216602
Say what you will about Awakening, but that boxart is amazing.
Here is the full original. I can't find the version without the characters tacked on though, they always looked like they were out of place.

Fix some of the atrociously written text on the back, remove all the fake VHS logo baloney and this would actually be a damn good cover
>>389211221
That still takes the cake for the dumbest box art ever, at least the first Mega Man cover was at least trying for something.
>>389218045

>>389218179
>all the bugs and shit coming out of the woodworks

I doubt they kept all their old data. You'd be surprised at how many game companies lost their source code for old games, Sonic 1 is a prime example.
>>389218392
i want more than anything to be wrong on this one, believe me.
SoM was my first JRPG, and one of my all-time favourites. The cut content would make it easier to stomach the new artstyle at leastand a Switch version
aw shit
Move aside
>>389207871
I'd still play a PC version.
>>389218583
There is a Switch version, which includes Final Fantasy Adventure and SD3. It's just ROMs of the originals though, and I'd be very surprised if they ever bother to translate SD3.
>>389217575

>game boy game that noone cares about
everyone and their mom that had a gameboy cares tho
>Surely the remake will eventually come to Switch, right? Like Setsuna did?
i really can't see the reason why they wont, the switch is capable of running it since it uses the engine from their Adventures of Mana remake, which is an android mobile game.
>>389191076
But that one in particular is no frills, just artwork at its best.
Other FF games might have a still of a character on it from in game
>>389218894
Japanese name for Dawn of Mana on PS2.
>>389219001
If the graphics on the remake are final I can't see why they couldn't. And yeah, that Switch collection kinda makes me worry about any future VC feature on Switch, if that's ever even coming.

This is what convinced me to pre-order, before I knew much about the game itself.
I had been wanting a good JRPG for the handheld and Pokemon games dont really have much in the way of story
Fates is good too but it just doesn't have the kinesthetic energy of this one, it lacks the feeling of a great adventure within.
On the other hand, that game is some weird familial-war/illuminati game so I suppose it fits

>What's inherently wrong with having multiple character on the box art vs 1 or 2?
It's not about having loads of characters on the front, it's that so many box arts are just characters in an action pose or looking sternly towards the front. It's as generic as having man walking towards the front with gun in his hand.

Part of it has to do with how digital artwork can't fully replicate the complexity of how traditional painting can blend and mix the colors together organically, the other part is the shift in overall art direction. Notice how the old artwork is a lot more grounded in reality in terms of how the characters look or pose, even their attire and gear conform naturally to their bodies' size and shape.

If I remember from those old ass interviews the artists wanted to convey how Sonic would become a new pop icon in the gaming world, so for the boxart of Sonic 1 they went with an actual pop art motif based on then trending shapes and motions of the early 90's. It's why the Zone/Act title cards were changed into the recognizable color cutouts once 2 rolled out, and why Genesis era Sonic is associated with that type of 90's pop aesthetic. Even Mania's various artworks follow the stylings, though it trends towards rigid inorganic shapes more.I'm a 3D designer I can't help but explain it like this
