Special edition has that pretentious Lion King moment. Deluxe edition artwork is too busy and uneasy on the eyes even if what it represents in the larger picture is cool with all the summons hanging around. Meh.
Well, if this edition is exclusive to certain stores/territories then it would explain my confusion, since I contacted a retailer and they told me that the publisher in here still had to update the info but that this was pretty much the Day One edition.
To be fair you would have hated this regardless of what it was based on your post history.

It's almost as if the game isn't anywhere near being done.
The suspicious lack of English-voiced promotional material is a little concerning.

This is the type of art that wouldn't look out of place in the main game somewhere. Imagine returning to the Citadel and seeing this framed painting all damaged and ruined by the occupation. It's a great piece of art, but as a cover art it's awful and wouldn't entice people to pick up the box in a shop. I suppose Final Fantasy has earned the right to not bother about that though, with it being such a massive franchise.

Yep. I have the based Japanese box for XIII too
Disappointed if there's not a logo only version for XV.

I miss the white background boxarts tbh.

Why white? The theme of the game revolve around the color black. They even wanted to express that in the versus day to put a contrast between XIII which was white, and VersusXIII which was black
Was actually thinking I liked FF XIII's cover for that actually. Maybe they could have a reversible cover for it, though I think black would be the better choice.
I don't think it really needs to line with other box arts tbh, I think we're growing away from box arts like that really. Like Zelda has been growing away from the gold covers, I used to like them, but looking at the likes of Wind Waker, Majoras Mask, Twilight Princesses art without the gold, I think it's the better for it.
As for this cover art, not really sure of the "significance" of the scene depicted right now, so can't really say it's a good choice or not right now.
Because it matches almost all of the other mainline Final Fantasy PAL releases which had a plain white background with the logo. It's iconic and classy af.

I do have mixed opinions of this game true, but judging by the reactions here I'm not alone in not liking the boxart. Honestly would have prefer a simple white background with the game title and its trademark logo, and that's it. Either way, it's not a big deal, I'm still excited to see more of the game this E3, hopefully something that would blow us away in a good way.

At least the Special Edition had the classic look in Europe
Fake Edit:
FFXIII-2 as well
Personally I don't really care, but if I had the choice between the gaudy Amano or a white one, I'd take the white one. But eh, my collection already got disturbed by the fugly FFXII US steelbook.

Special Edition's box art is amazing. The Deluxe Edition's... Even though it's Amano, it's way too busy. Don't like it as much.

Ugh, awful suggestion.
I think artistically this really works, though the amano rainbow vomit illustration is awful, sorry.

Pretty much. Someone in marketing must have convinced the right people that this is the way to go. But hey, it's just box art for a game. We'll survive.

This artwork just looks busy and uninspired. It's a shame.

Very nice.Was expecting it to look terrible,pleasantly surprised
Awful suggestion? I just don't want to break the tradition that has been since the first game. It looks like ass to have a different game cover in all my other Final Fantasys.

I expected the 'standard edition' cover. This one has been up on Australian retailers for like 2 weeks now.

They just took a piece of concept art we've seen a hundred times before and slapped a really boring FF XV logo on it. And what's up with that font design? It's just white. It looks unfinished.
Really not a fan.
Also this. If you know nothing about the game, playing as a boy band might come as a shock
At least the main character is featured

That dream has been dead for a long time, Eidos killed the traditional covers when they were bought out and took over Square Enix Europe.
