In this case, I can.

Team Symphonia members never disappoint ^_^

 

 Tales of Symphonia was a mediorce RPG and you know it.

Also not all members of Team Symphonia are working on this.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I don't understand why NA gets this box art when Japan gets much cooler box art. This game won't sell as much in NA with this box art.

Nope, it's an amazing RPG :D You just know nothing.

The director and scenario writer are from Team Symhponia :P There's also members from Chrono Trigger and Xenosaga plus Bahamut Lagoon and imageepoch.

All in all, a pretty good team.

@thechalk

I actually think it'd sell worse with the other boxart since it's more anime-y =/

 

 I hope you're right...

Also this NA boxart screams "Generic JRPG" to be honest.

@Soriku

I think if the cover focused more on the main character like in the Japanese box art it would be more appealing.

Now that I think about it, my main complaint is that the main character is being covered by the girl with purple hair. It just looks kind of sloppy to me.

All JRPG NA boxarts scream "generic JRPG"...well except KH and TWEWY I guess :P

How exactly is KH and TWEWY any different?

The box art looks bad enough that if I was planning on purchasing it before I wouldn't now.

Hate Nomuras designs but gotta admit KH1-II have good boxart.
TWEWY not so much or the rest of his shit.

I didn't say it was bad, but how it wasn't generic.

Well can't say it is great but it's not bad either. Not to mention, I find it funny everyone in here acting like they are some professional artist and able to critique and find what's wrong with every box art ever posted. Seriously guys, you have no idea what is or isn't wrong and simply going off your own personal perception fueled by society's stereotypes. Basically, worthless. But everyone has to have an opinion I suppose.

Personally I can't tell ya if it was the right direction but I'm sure it gives enough of a generic RPG box art appeal to the people that will probably buy it.
