FFXV reversible cover revealed
- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date
I don't dislike it as much as I think it's just really weak compared to a long line of great logos. And Lightning Returns.
Are we losing out on tradition if it was never a tradition here?

Black all the way. Sets the tone for the color scheme of the costumes you will acquire throughout the game

what the fuck square
They could really set the tone by adding a leather texture to it, for that extra pizzazz.
Seems like the right thing. I think it's a poignant change. Use the opposite colour and it's thematically strong.

Black looks good, thematically consistent with versus origin.

Our NA by a gawd damn mile.
Sep. Too far, and it had to be the 30th and not the 1st.

I won't be playing or displaying the cover, so I'm good with whatever.
Thinking about that too if all languages are included.

Black background even in the EU? What utter bollocks.
Honestly, it's like SE are going out of their way to make me have as little interest in this game as possible.

Are you really going to get upset about a boxart?

You should know how things go by now
Did anybody happen to save a copy of the white background? I'm sad they've changed their mind/ it was a mistake ;-;
I mean, it looks good on the black background too but with the rest of the EU logos on a white background (aside from XIV) I was excited for the white for a minute there. Nostalgia times etc.

Yeah, that's my one complaint about the steelbook boxart. It's hard to read the text.
I'm getting the Deluxe Edition, but only because I want a physical copy of Kingsglaive.

NA is superior because the logo is centered the right way. You're not supposed to center the text of the logo like they've done with the EU one. See:
.
Agreed, but IMO this is the superior example:
Damn
Well I got the Deluxe Edition anyway.
BTW Does anyone know if the Deluxe Edition has A King's Tale too?
Edit: nevermind just checked my country's GameStop page, it got updated and it says that the Deluxe Edition contains everything the DayOne Edition has so it will contain A King's Tale too.
Agreed, but IMO this is the superior example:
Always loved this, especially as the back cover is just the Squaresoft logo. "We just made one of the most expensive, state of the art games ever, but all you need to know is who made it."

Totally, one of the boldest and cockiest marketing moves in gaming history. But they couldn't have been more right to do it.
The text is not on the steelbook, that's a transparent slipcase.
Agreed, but IMO this is the superior example:
That's just exceptionally classy stuff.

I barely give a shit, but I would have liked the classic logo on white background, if only for nostalgia.
It'd be a small, insignificant detail, but one I'd have liked, which is more than I can say about most of the rest of the game I've seen so far.

So things are really changing since Eidos EU is doing the PR for all western Square Enix games? Someone here mentioned it.
I was always glad that previous EU titles were more similar to the japanese originals in terms of box art but it seems they will go full US for everything now. US box arts usually are the worst.

Is there a website where I can buy standalone boxart covers? That JP cover is the fairest in the land.
Welp, at least everyone else gets to enjoy the superior black background.
