Europe stays winning, keeping that tradition alive. I forgive ARR because XIV was originally going to have the white background until the reboot. XIII and Lightning Returns, well... At least XIII-2 did it properly. That trilogy is a mess anyway.

Spoiler

I'll be buying this digitally.

All of those look a lot better than the FFXV cover. The color scheme in the logo isn't doing it for me. It's all just too dark.

 

[sublimit]

Lol, this discussion is reminding me of this super offensive PSP poster:

I still can't believe that this got approved and went public....

 

[JeffZero]

Thank goodness. It's exactly what I'd hoped for. Give me that clean logo-on-black North American festivus.

I hate american focus testers.

 

[GavinUK86]

Disappointed that it's not a pinup of Cidney.

Me too.

Preorder cancelled.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

The logo honestly works better on a darker background. The colors feel too muted on the white one.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

Usually prefer the white BG, but for XV, I think the black looks better.

NA wins.

 

[Seven Force]

Fuck, I kinda wanted the logo on a white background over here.

 

[silva1991]

Both are good.

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

I edited. After looking again it's white all the way.

Yup. especially with that white peeking out in the black one. looks like a bad shop.

 

[Eccocid]

There is something off with that Amano art and type. Not that art is wrong or anything. It looks like they put some photoshop effects on it like bevel and it looks ugly.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Skyrim already proved that you don't need busy ass artwork.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Skyrim already proved that you don't need busy ass artwork.

Yup.

How they present the game is far more important. Does anyone really blind buy a game anymore based on a cover? It's so easy now to find out what a game is about.

 

[The Last One]

Why did they delete their tweet?

 

[wmlk]

Why did they delete their tweet?

Mat thought it was good news.

 

[wvnative]

I dig it all, the regular cover, and both the reversible covers. Come on September 30th!

 

[Ydelnae]

Why did they delete their tweet?

It was getting good reception and they are coming with a way to get negative comments again.

Square Enix PR always doing their job!

 

[Astral Dog]

The black backdrop goes better with the game imo.

 

[Despera]

The black backdrop goes better with the game imo.

While this is true... the white background works better with the logo.

I think white background is better overall.

btw, I haven't been following this game that closely, but who is the character in the logo? I presume it's the blonde girl, Luna I think was her name?

 

[Undead Fantasy]

I can cover up that stupid day one banner?

Sign me up.

 

[hichanbis]

I would have prefered the Japanese one with the band on the road.

Better sense of an epic journey incoming.

It's Etro. The dumb goddess who made the FFXIII sequels happen.

Spoiler

I love the sequels, so she done good,

 

[NoctisVsStar]

NA wins about to cancel my deluxe

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So they've deleted the tweet and FB post of this.

If this is some kind of marketing blunder and we don't actually get these reversible covers... then oh my.....

 

[Salty Rice]

Europe wins once again with the cover.

 

[_woLf]

Yeah, this is honestly the best cover of any available for the standard game. Even better than the plain backgrounds with the logo.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

So they've deleted the tweet and FB post of this.

Probably went up ahead of time.

 

[ZeroX03]

The logo blends into the background of the Japanese cover the best, but mostly because it's pretty poor logo for a Final Fantasy. Thicker strokes and outlining. Doesn't fit in.

Plain white still the champ.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Someone in the MGS community (Shagg) did custom covers and mailed them to the people who paid him. So it can be done.

 

[Cyrano]

Guess all I can do is hope someone makes an printable Amano cover.

 

[Ran rp]

it's pretty poor logo for a Final Fantasy.

Nope.

Plain white still the champ

and nope

 

[wmlk]

Nope.

and nope

FFXV logo is better. The darker colours turning into red lines is too good.

 

[Daft Punk]

LMFAO. Hilarious.

No.

It's not a matter of opinions, or preferences.

EU got the classic FF cover.

NA didn't. So NA didn't win anything.

EU won with that ugly ass PEGI label in the corner? Nah. EU takes the L on this one.

 

[Muffdraul]

FFXV logo is better. The darker colours turning into red lines is too good.

IMO this particular logo does look much better on a black background.

 

[LiK]

Yes, so much better

 

[Despera]

It's Etro. The dumb goddess who made the FFXIII sequels happen.

Spoiler

I love the sequels, so she done good,

Aha thanks.

Somehow I have a feeling her in-game model will resemble a certain character we must not forget.

 

[Philippo]

Admit that the logo works better with the black background (after all it was inteded this way), but i think it would be thematically wrong to have it like that: the black background worked well when Versus was meant to be a darker, opposed to the mainline FF game. Now that it is XV, it would stand out in a weird way, considering they actually toned down some elements of the game to make it more fitting for the mainline saga.

So they've deleted the tweet and FB post of this.

If this is some kind of marketing blunder and we don't actually get these reversible covers... then oh my.....

Maybe it's because the back ones aren't finalized yet? The US one looks like a WIP.

 

[-Horizon-]

Nice.

 

[ZeroX03]

Nope.

and nope

I mean, other than it looking worse than I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2 XI, XII, XIII, XIII-2 and XIV it's passable? Kudos on beating this I guess:

I prefer the logo on black, great to have this as an option (don't mind the normal cover either).

They just took white away from Europe. Get fucked.

Still buying digital, still doesn't affect me lol

[KarasuEXE]

I think this logo wasn't designed with the white background in mind at all. Anyway, it's a cool tradition.

 

[ZeroX03]

lol

sure

You just posted up three amazing fucking logos?

At least post up V if you want to try and make a point, even if it still better than XV.

That's pretty good actually, the logo looks pretty bad on white this time around. Now let's hope they delete their tweet again and repost it an hour later saying the logo on black cover is the default one, and the CGI one is reversible.
