The DS remakes had just the logo. FFIII had the logo just on white, while FFIV had the logo on black. Funny that the Japanese covers were the busy ones that time around.

Wow, way to slap a logo on a render guys. Glad to see you thought about marketing. I hope they find out they're not as invincible as they seem to think.

Not since Final Fantasy “II” on the SNES, with just the logo (albeit with a shiny sword replacing the T in Fantasy) on a red background. And that was a long time ago.

Apparently the Japanese boxart for the version of the game that comes with the hardware bundle is similar to this cover, just cropped differently. It's less zoomed in.

Maann FFXIII has a boring cover, I think if anything Crystal Bearers has at least 1up'd FFXIII in that sense.

I like it too, but for the Jpn covers, I don't think they're ready to break away from the traditional white background w/ Amano logo yet, and that is elegant in its own way. But yeah, the horse one is cool. Doesn't seem like there's any LE for the US game though, unless Gamestop announces something later.. metal case are so damn hard to take out the disc anyway.

Whao, so the cover with Sleiphnir isn't the official JPN cover? Gamefaqs is usually pretty accurate with their box art so I assumed it was official.

Still, what a badass cover! Why wouldn't they use this? At least for a special edition… I mean, if XII got an awesome special edition I don't see why they wouldn't make one for XIII.

I guess you're right, the ESRB Teen box right underneath Lightning's thigh does look unnatural, my initial reaction was “skin!” :). Yeah, they always do that w/ the US cover arts, I really like the one for FFX though like someone else said. Tidus in the ocean against a very cool background, that one looked really good.

It's just the logo on a white background.

From an artistic standpoint, the PS3 art has a better composition anyway. But really, I was hoping they would have gone with something a lot more interesting than basically a copy/paste of the Lightning render being used on a lot of the Japanese promotional items.
