Horrible cover art?

Post by Orange_Ribbon »

Click on me!!

Okay maybe I can look past it to the point I don't see the cover art, but I didn't think it was that bad. Infact it made me think the game was even cooler when I was in the stores.

I found this because I am going to a wedding at ottacon this Augest, and I am trying to find good pics to give a friend so she can help me make a costume. That has all ready been acomplished.

well the skies box art ain't attractive to action gamers and neither is the name I think Eternal Skies is better more attractive and all the uk box art and jap box art are better then the ntsc/u one it looks like some japanese anime Dating sim or someshit to 3 kids (2 girls and a guy) what else can I say no action feeling into it...

well I think we have reached the conclusion of this thread some say the box art is good and some say the game would've sold better if they had a descent box art

I swear the box art is like a dating sim

(Sky's is quite romantic yeah know)

The coverart wasn't bad. It wasn't the best, but it got the job done. As for best coverart for an rpg, I am a bit more partial to Valkyrie Profile or the Lunar games. Grandia also gets good scores...less is more sometimes does the trick...like Langrisser...
