I dig it.

The PS3 version looks slightly cooler though, with the black border. Wink

Is this the first time they've had the main character on the cover? I haven't bought a FF game since 9 on the PS1!

I hate the new black border on PS3 games. Nowhere near as good as the old Playstation 3 banner on the left. Crying or Very sad

Final Fantasy covers are supposed to be all white with just the logo on it aren't they?, just seems wrong having anything extra on it.

All the FF games I can remember have a cutscene near the beginning, which then fades and just leaves the logo with a white background. So from my knowledge of the series yes tou are right.

The PAL regions all have a plain white background with the logo in the foreground. The american ones differ. Just have a look at the FFXII American cover. I still gag: Click Here

I find the white-'n-green/grey combination of the Xbox 360 cover more striking. Wink I strongly suspect I would still be of that opinion even if I owned a PS3 instead of an Xbox 360. I like the colour combination.

Also, I rather like the cover image of what one presumes is a major character in the game. I certainly prefer it to some ubiquitous symbol. Sadly (IMO,) it appears that the usual whirly-twirly random symbol/shape will grace the European covers of this game, at least if one is to believe the cover images on Amazon and ShopTo.

I think the PS3 box looked to be more "zoomed" in the 360 but both are good. I too admit that I prefered the old Playstaion 3 Logo to the new PS3 one. It looks like it was made by and intended for
pre-schooler's Rolling Eyes Just my opinion though before anyone gets upset Cool

personally i prefer the plain white background. Not that putting the main character on the front cover is a bad idea either.

Come to think of it Square could of gotten a three year old with a box of crayons to design it. It's still going to sell in the millions.

I was joking, guys. My favourite colour is (even though I am a UTD fan) blue. Therefore, I hate both covers.

Thats so elitist of you if you support Manchester Utd to put that you are a Utd fan. There are obviously many other football teams with Utd in there name

I really don't like having a chick as the main controllable character...

I'll get it eventually. But I'll be too busy with Bad Company 2, coming out just a week prior to this.

I demand the classic cover style! No superfluous images, just the logo.

Also, I've just noticed that the new PS3 logo is made to look like a slightly curvier version of the PS2 one (but with a 3, obviously).

I've found with time that it can be quite pleasant having a good looking pixel female form to look at when playing for hours on end. Still, there's certainly something to be said for a badass looking dude, which is why I like having the choice of deciding what gender the main character will be.

new ps3 logo is better. dont even think there was one before at all. but the slim doesnt look very good i think. pure cheap beady wee LEDs on it.

im getting one for BC2 and GT5, but wish a different version would come out.

they look tasty in white, no chance of that over here...

and wheres the stand for it? looks crap sitting on the floor horizontally. but would probably look crap vertically due the non rotating ps3 badge.

good old cost cutting.

i dont like it...i prefer just the logo on a white background. it makes the logo so much smaller this way as well, which won't make it stand out as a 'final fantasy' title either. i think it's a bad idea =( jes like the leona lewis song in it. square enix are screwing up =(

Almost all FF games starting from PS1 have always had the logo and a white background - for the japanese and european versions that is.

I think breaking this cycle is just unholy. People don't need to see who's in the game. looking at just the logo just tells ppl of grandeur and top quality game. Reputation sells for itself u know.

Could care less about the cover. It's all about the game.
Still undecided on what format to get it for.
Multiple discs don't bother me, I prefer achievements over trophies, but it all depends on which runs best. Will PS3 have longer load times due to the Blu-ray drive or will 360 suffer due to being a port?
Time will tell I guess...
