1 > 4 > 3 > 2

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I have to remember to save some money to cover my pre-order

 

[ajim]

I wish there was a Xenoblade Chronicles comprehensive art book or something

 

[Kinvara]

My personal fave is 3 but 1 is pretty good as well.

2 is just terrible though. :/

 

[HiroProtagonist]

I thought we were voting for both sides, so I voted for one and four (skimmed OP). I'll go back and unlike 4 if it starts to pull ahead.

 

[cj_iwakura]

They're all gorgeous.

But I'd say #1.

 

[cheststrongwell]

So you need a FB account to vote? 1 is the best.

 

[fernoca]

So you need a FB account to vote? 1 is the best.

Yep. Log-in, vote.

 

[cheststrongwell]

Yep. Log-in, vote.

I deleted mine a month ago. Felt so good. I think 1 will win, so I don't feel to bad.

 

[Firefox]

I like 3 best.

The game should show the main character.

 

[papersleeves]

1 > 3 > 4 > 2

I like them all though.

 

[Teknoman]

I picked 1 because it reminds me of an SNES era (japanese version) rpg cover. Like Treasures of the Rudra.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Don't understand why 1 is getting all the love. It takes second place in my book, but 4 is soooo sexy.

 

[Omzz]

Have to go with 1

 

[Myriadis]

I like them all, but #1 is my favorite. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't vote. But good thing that NoA does this too. They look even better than the NoE ones.

 

[Cheska]

I voted for #1. I know we've seen this picture before, but it never gets old. It's so beautiful.

 

[LiK]

#1 would be better as a normal cover and #4 as the reverse side.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Kind of wish this one was an option.

Would be nice if the NOA press kit for the game has a good resolution version of this image (or at least better than the one you linked which is the best I've seen). The NOE press kit I found doesn't.

I hope Nintendo makes the 3 losing ones Club Nintendo posters.

If they don't you might be able to make good prints off the artwork from the press kit (Wichu posted the images from the covers here; the kit has some more but has spoilers with character artwork of both playable and non-playable) and I think there are a few eBay sellers who make such things on bulk. To be honest given its a good will gesture the game even coming out I wouldn't hope for NOA making any Club Nintendo posters for this.

Because I have #1 open. A couple of avatar freebies, (I've gone for making them small file size so 8-bit png rather than higher bit so there is some minor colour depth compression issues etc...):

In hindsight, didn't work too well (a lot of the ones I experimented with you lost too much detail fitting them in or were a pain to get lined up so gave up) also, should have waited until March or something and prehaps stick the logo on (vertical at the sides)...maybe for the OT (though don't expect many as I really don't want to go down the route of obvious characters, NPCs etc) not really got time to experiment now.

 

[Octorockin']

#1 would get my vote.

They're all beautiful though.

 

[B.K.]

Would be nice if the NOA press kit for the game has a good resolution version of this image (or at least better than the one you linked which is the best I've seen). The NOE press kit I found doesn't.

I found a 3000x5500 scan of the poster from the book, but it's got some gray lines through it. I thought I could take it into Photoshop and do some work on it to take them out, but it's not going to work.

Edit: There's another one. It's not as high res as the first one, but better than the small one.

 

[Htown]

5. All of the Above

Anyone have a the PAL one in a higher resolution?

In PAL territory, we had this.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

#1 is obviously the best

 

[AniHawk]

i want:

-the sense of scale from 2
-the hand-drawn look of 1
-the colors of 4
-the amount of greenery from 3

so i guess i'll have to settle for 1. i really like 2 though.

 

[Wichu]

Anyone have a the PAL one in a higher resolution?

This big enough?

 

[Dicer]

Not logging into fucking Facebook to vote, Nintendo and other companies learn to put your own websites to good use.

#1 all the way though

*sorry for the random Facebook rant, lol

 

[Pinko Marx]

2>1>4>3

 

[Eric C]

This big enough?

Yes, Thanks.

 

[Zakkath]

1 by far.

Agreed.

 

[Zekes!]

Totally voted for 1 the other day. Also I finally slapped down my pre-order at EBGames. Fucking AMPED for this game, man.

 

[Femmeworth]

None of these are an apology letter from NoA for being incompetent. Boo.

 

[Seik]

This big enough?

*Set As Desktop Background...*

Thanks!

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Never had nor do I ever plan on having a facebook account, so screw you Nintendo!

Please let #1 be the winner

 

[thinktnk]

1 > 4 > 2 > 3

#3 is just so terrible.

 

[chaosblade]

This big enough?

Where are you getting these? Saved all five.

 

[Wichu]

Where are you getting these? Saved all five.

IIRC they were in the high-res artwork thread.

 

[ConradCervantes]

4 > 1 > 2 > 3. Four is da hotness, wrap it up.

This game had better live up to the hype, you sons of bitches!

 

[Ananaz]

3 and 4 (and the one that got voted as the PAL alternative as well) look really terrible and cheaply made to me. :/ They're pretty much just touched up screenshots with a rather poorly done Shulk art slapped over them.

1 is nice. I wish we had gotten that one for the PAL release.

 

[TheBanditKing]

Def. #1 4 is nice too but i like to color scheme for 1 better. They should put this game is a clear DVD case so you can see both (or I will put it in one)

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I like the first one.

 

[Zero148]

The first and fourth one are amazing, happy Americans (although getting the game pretty late). It is an outstanding RPG and deserves beautiful Cover Art like that.

luckily my PAL one is also a beautiful cover art. I would be really jealous if it wasn't the case.

 

[ghibli99]

Voted for 1, although I'd be happy with any of them. Thanks for doing this!

 

[zashga]

Nice! I voted for option #1 because I'm a boring person who picks default options.

Spoiler

Also it's better than the other three.

 

[fernoca]

I can finally vote! XD (voted for #1)

So, updated the OP with:

-Number of votes of each image; at the moment of this post.
-Individual links for each image's Facebook post

 

[Warrior_Keoni]

Voted for 1 and 4...couldn't decide between the two.

 

[Bisnic]

4 is nice, but it wouldnt look good at all as a back cover. The character is going to be put in the corner of the box and you will only see half of the huge tower in the distance.

#1 is the best just because it works better as a cover.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

The Facebook page says there are only 2 days left. They seem to be reposting links to the image on the Wii page on the Nintendo wall (well #1 and #2 so far). Which is just confusing.

If it was clearer I was meant to be looking at the Wii page Xenoblade Chronicles - Box Art Images for Fan Voting gallery rather than the Homs, Mechons & The Monado Blade gallery over at the Nintendo page I'd have been fine.

 

[Diffense]

I think the first image is from that area that is not accessible in the final game. Bionis' Shoulder, I think it's called. I'd go with that.

 

[Man God]

Everyone thought one would win last time, it didn't.

So many covers in the minimalistic redesign thread do that kind of thing too.
