I thought it was going to be white for some reason. I guess black is more suited thematically. I'm going to get Pal version anyways, It might get a different boxart.

Remember that ugly cover though?

Bad. I don't like the random composition. It's too cluttered and has no focus. No clear offset from the edge where things randomly just about touch the edge or not. It would also have been stronger if the emphasis was on those cloud monster things, and I don't get why the title is so small and lacks the classic trademark Final Fantasy style logo. The Japanese one is a lot better.

Something tells me (based on FF13's over emotional 20 somethings) the black is because they are all emo.

Looks OK but the Japanese cover and the reversed side is better I think.

DAAAAAAAAAMN. Now that is gorgeous. Why not use this for the American release as well? 

looks kind of cool, maybe the character poses slightly cheesy but whatever haha

Even the cover is bad, way to go SE.

Id like if the picture was smaller and had the FFXV logo on it. Mising that artwork is a let down.

After negative feedback, SE has decided to change the cover art

Here's the new official one

Now that's what I'd call best boxart ever!
