Somebody photoshop this into a PS3 boxart. I'm gonna print that and put it in my BRD cover. Hate that crappy blank white background in the official boxart.

I'll try it out.

I would ask what the resolution should be for that but I kind of only have that one image to work with.

It looks more like inside cover material to me, the image that spans both sides of the case, rather than on the outside

One thousand deaths are not enough for you -.-

Though I imagine you did it on purpose >.<

Common seriously? That looks way too amateur.

Theme park ride.

The think in London is the Millennium Eye. Unless there's some hidden London monument I don't know about....

The Bishopsgate Tower, still in construction. Also called The Helter Skelter. It almost looks like it'd be at home among those other buildings.
 
Then the one ZeroRay posted is fake?

Okay.... still gonna get some kind of custom boxart.

Thanks for trying Brandon.
 
Nice mockup.

Lightning's weapon looks complicated. What is it anyway? Gunblade type thing? Wonder if it'll end up as iconic as other weapons in the series (Buster Sword, Lionheart).

It is a gun blade. Extremely silly weapon if you ask me.

Worst FF theme song since "Eyes on Me". *spits*
I want to take a second to respond to this without going too far off topic:

Supposing that Eyes on Me were the second-to-worst song ever written, then Melodies of Life would be the worst. Faye Wong may sing in Engrish, but the lyrics to Melodies of Life are literally gibberish. The melody is sixty times less inventive than anything Hamauzu will ever write.

Definately not. It's not simple enough and looks like a hair dryer.

The gun blade is a real weapon, though.

Yes, and even in the forms that it existed historically, it was very limited and did not survive very long, not to mention that they were more gun knives than swords.

You are better of packing a gun AND a sword.

This is not even seriously addressing the fact that there is no way that that monstrosity can function efficiently as a sword(especially for someone as thin and lacking in muscle mass as Lightning)

But then again, it is a fantasy game...

Is it just me or does that sword look more like a giant swiss army knife than in any other shot? Probably just me imagination.
Would fit right in with the transformery theme this game's got going.

You have no idea how right you are.

Supposedly, all the weapons transform. So far, only the females have revealed themselves able to transform their weapons.

You know how we all assumed Cloud's Buster Sword was made from lightweight alloy?

Well, I think that applies to Lightning's sword, too.

That's gonna look weird as hell for Snow. I can at least picture it with everyone else.

Well, there is also the fact that it is shaped in a way that renders it impractical, weight or no.

I mean seriously, i am perfectly cappable of suspending belief, but it would be nice if a JPN dev outside of Matsuno used common sense.
 
Leaked scans confirmed that Hope's eidolon is indeed Alexander, h\is gestalt mode was predictable. And you do traverse around with the fucking chocobos, wtf; though I think I might just be getting ahead of myself. They look more like Roosters now.:lol

Edit: I just read some more, looks like they've combined the best traits from previous FF Chocobos into one. You can dig and travel through secrets paths. Okay, maybe not the overworld map traits.
 
I don't mind some ridiculousocity in my FF games. Cloud's Buster Sword, for all intents and purposes, is not half as ridiculous as most of the stuff in FF7, 8, 9, etc etc etc.

The games are fantasy. I like Matsuno's style too, but in FF12 Basche punches so hard that the TV screen shatters. That's fourth wall breaking right there.

Sazh "transformation" is going from two pistols to a machine gun. And I think Snow's "transformation" is apparently related to his coat.




But the chocobo is... weird? There's a fire in his head? ... ... ... Not sure I like it.

And Alexander... What is that? I'm not sure of what I'm seeing.
 
I just took time to read the scan. It says Alexander's driving mode is a "fort".

I still can't see shit, though.
