Not by any means the most important feature of the game, but what do you guys think of it?
Personally, I was a bit thrown as Europe usually gets the classic logo on white background treatment, which to me looks a lot more sleek. I'm not really loving this version~

I saw it and automatically thought "Okay, that's the US version". Then I paid more attention and saw the big fat 16...now I am just sad. Really, really hope they go with the classic white and logo cover.

Still looks strange in a 360 format. More suited to the PS3 style for style, with the black header and whatnot.
I'm not keen on the logo as I feel it's far too small.
I guess I can easily get over it, but I too prefer the classic white background with logo.
I was expecting the classic white cover, truly is an end of an era...

Yea, I saw this earlier, over at CVG, but didn't make a post about it, as I was really let down by it.
It doesn't look that nice to me, at all.
All it is, is a 3d Render of Lightning, with the Final Fantasy XIII logo slapped on. For me, that's way too plain. At least the normal looking ones, with the logo's only, look a lot nicer with the layout and all.
It's alright, but really isn't that great in my opinion.
I like it. I found that the plain logo suited the PS1 game cases, because there wasn't too much space for proper case art. But then I look at FFX, X-2 and XII and it all feels a bit lazy.
So yeah, I like the wasted space being filled up with something better :D
Even the cover changes from the typical. Bad sign for me already.

That.
I'm still unsure whether I'll definatly get it or not. I'd like it but I think I'm over JRPGs...
Also did anyone else buy AC2 and it had the BBFC '15'? On the disc it had both BBFC and PEGI but the case had just the BBFC...(I bought the Black Edition)

i got the black edition, the box has the 15 in the red circle, the disc has an 18 sticker on it though. very strange

I'll get it regardless, as it looks pretty good. Just, the case isn't great. That's all. :p
