    In reply to Final Fantasy XIII Box Art, Now With More Xbox 360
    Damn... Why couldn't they keep it in theme with the other PAL versions were it was strictly the logo of each game on the cover with a plain white background, it was nice and clean that way D:

    One thing is wierd though, in the 360 cover, because the boxes are taller, you see more of Lightning than in the PS3 cover, I wonder why they didn't have each box show the same amount, but just proportion her smaller on the PS3 box to fit in.

    Finger-picking? SO acoustic. Tooth-picking? Too Hendrix. TRUE metal lies in the ancient art of BEARD-PICKING.

    Seriously? This looks like mockup art.

    I'm guessing they'll tweak that for the US market at least...

    I have PQ1 on DS and never experienced bad load times. Never picked up Galatrix though. Another commenter said it wasn't worth it but I liked the demo. Not as good as the first because I was a bit confused, but it's acceptable I suppose.

    I disliked the FFXII Boxart in the US because it didn't have the logo design like it did in all previous releases.

    It should be more like FFX!

    Lightning's can opener looks super hot. Still, I think I'd rather have the ol' plain white with the logo trend all Euro covers have had.

    What I'd like to have even *more* than that is some sexy metal case included in a special edition. I'm thinking "limited edition hardback cover for FFXII's official guide" kinda thing.

    I almost lit my eyes on fire, but you included the PS3 box art and all was right with the world... I kid I kid. At one time I felt like Square Enix betrayed me by making it (FFXIII) multiplatform, but then I figured that now they can reach a bigger audience and consequently give me more people to gush about Final Fantasy with...And I'm all about gushing about Final Fantasy. All about it...

    Oh and I like the simple, clean box art. Hope it stays that way for the US as well.

    @RPGmaniac05: Nice to see some PS3 fans actually warming up to the idea that 360 is getting to share the great experience of FF. Atleast square didn't make it 360, exclusive imagine that!

    @Danopolis: A 360 exclusive!?!?!?!?!?! Then I'd have to destroy them...My only true concern about making it multi platform was that it would make development time longer so I was all cursing Microsoft's name for making me wait longer for FFXIII, but since that wasn't the case I was able to let it go because at the end of the day, I was still getting my FFXIII...And I'm still going to be able to disappear off the face of the Earth from March to possible June...You know depending on how many times I play through it and do all the side quest...and stop drooling and actually play...

    @RPGmaniac05: Haha I know what you mean, I did the same for FFXII even though everyone outside the critics seemed to think it was a "bad" game. It was up to the other ones but I still thoroughly enjoyed 100+ hours into it.

    I'm still trying to decide whether to get this on 360 or PS3. And I honestly to don't care that "it should be played on the PS3 cuz FF is PS3." I wanna look at it from a technical standpoint and seeing how they say it will be the same on both consoles. AH the predicament.

    @Danopolis: The thing with FFXII is that it was a good idea on paper, but they didn't execute as well as they could of. I liked the license board idea, but the set up and the fact that you had to still buy the tech and what not after learning them was kind of messy. The battle system was a nice departure, but there was a lot of waiting going on since it was still kind of turn based in real time so it made it kind of awkward. Now I don't think FFXII was a bad game, but I do think it was a bad Final Fantasy game if you get what I'm saying.

    I'm getting it on the PS3 to get around the disc swap because I don't want anything...ANYTHING...pausing my experience, you know except for me saving to go to sleep. I mean it is the first Final Fantasy in the main series of the "new" generation after all.

    Love it.

    Although, is this box art international? Traditionally we Europeans have always had boxart that is just the Final Fantasy Logo, whilst you yankeedoodles have something less plain.

    @Ursus-Veritas: Call me a traditionalist, but I hope they continue that trend. I've always liked that it's just a logo on a white background. Some might say it lacks any artistic merit, but I've always found it striking. It's what drew me to the series many years ago.

    @Chronixal: I don't mind this boxart (Due to my epic Lightning crush) - but I agree with you entirely. A lot of games have these big, vibrant covers jam packed with images and things, and they're nice - sometimes - but Final Fantasy always stood out because as you said, the design is so striking. They're easily some of my favorite boxarts of all time.
