Pelea de arte de caja: Duelo #101 – Fantasía final VI
Greetings fellow Earthlings, y bienvenidos a otra edición de Pelea de arte de caja!
En last week’s epic battle to commemorate our 100th Box Art Brawl post, we took a look at the phenomenal GameCube brawler, Super Smash Bros. Pelea confusa. It’s one of the most iconic Nintendo games of all time, sin duda, so naturally such a beloved title was the perfect fit for our Box Art Brawl milestone.
The results were honestly much closer than we’d anticipated, but nevertheless you lovely people decided that the box art for North America and Europe should take the crown, pulling in a respectable 61% del voto. Una vez dicho esto, many of you demonstrated a keen fondness for the Japanese box art, with its sepia tones and killer logo design winning over many fans.
Esta semana, we’re on a bit of a Final Fantasy alto, so we’ll going to be pitting the Japanese box art for Fantasía final VI against its US equivalent. Ahora, those among you who are “in the know” will be aware of course that Final Fantasy VI released in the US as Fantasía final III, owing to the fact that Final Fantasy II, tercero, and V had not previously been released in the region.
As a bonus, we’ll also take a peek at the box art for Final Fantasy VI Advance for the GBA and see how it stacks up, but keep in mind that this release won’t form part of the poll at the bottom; that’s reserved for the SNES games only!
So with that all said, let’s get cracking!
Asegúrese de emitir sus votos en la siguiente encuesta; pero primero, echemos un vistazo a los propios diseños de box art.
América del norte
Okay, así… Fantasía final III. Or Final Fantasy VI. Man, this is confusing! Actualmente, it’s not, ignore us. The box art here actually reminds us a bit of The Legend of Zelda, with the sword forming part of the game’s logo in place of the letter ‘T’. You see the comparison, derecho?
It’s a pretty nice, understated composition overall, and of course we can’t not mention the adorable Moogle just chilling out there near the bottom corner – too cute! It’s wildly different to the Japanese box art and doesn’t bastante fit in with the general visual theme that the series has gone for over the years, but we like it regardless!
Japan
Right, so the Japanese box art for Final Fantasy VI is very Final Fantasy, if you get what we mean. The series has maintained the same logo style to this very day for a good reason; it’s simply icónico. Similarly, the artwork by Yoshitaka Amano is beautiful – as it’s always been and always will be. It just screams Final Fantasy, derecho?
We’ve got a strong feeling the Japanese box art will come away with the win this week, pero quién sabe, a great deal of people seem to love the Moogles, so there’s every chance that North America could sneak in with the win!
Bonus – Final Fantasy VI Advance
Sí, we said we’d take a look at the box art for Final Fantasy VI Advance, and here it is! It’s got a lot more in common with Japan’s SNES box art and maintains the series’ consistent visual theme with both its logo and cover design. We love how understated this design is; you probably wouldn’t see anything like it in this day and age. En Efecto, Square Enix itself is moving further into more “La semana pasada vimos la revelación de la 9.ª generación de Pokémon.” cover designs with the likes of Final Remake Fantasy VII y Final Fantasy XV.
Así que ahí lo tienen! We had fun with this one simple due to the drastic differences between the NA and Japanese box arts. Ahora, if someone at Square Enix or Nintendo sees this… Please bring Final Fantasy VI to the Switch. M’kay, Gracias.
Asegúrese de sintonizar la próxima semana para conocer los resultados de esta pelea épica.!
Gracias por votar! Nos vemos la próxima vez para otra ronda de Box Art Brawl.
