SE has released pictures of the boxart for the new expansion and 360 version. These are the Japanese versions, but I doubt they'll change much (since CoP was the same other than some of the logos).

Looks pretty awesome. Pictures came from 1up.com's article here. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3148523
 
Yeah. SE said that even though Sony was full of shit for their HDD plans, they don't plan on stopping support for it anytime soon. May be a little harder to find it in stores, but they're still releasing expansions for PS2.
 
I can't wait until they get a better artist :)
 
xbox cover pic looks much better than the 1 on ps2 .

no <3 for PS2 with that gay colored picture.
 
I can't see the images...I blame school computers -.-
 
Well from what I gather about the boxart, 360 boxart is representing the mirror of blighted gloom, and the ps2/pc boxart is representing the mirror of blessed radiance, two of Aht Urhgan's "treasures", since the NPC quests have a lot of story with ToAU.

I agree. I wouldnt let my friends see the cover of that if i owned it. Theyd probably think it was Brokeback Mountain...

Very interesting, I hadn't thought of that. The PS2 one still looks a little bright though - and my computers brightness is...dark (if you know what i mean).
 
Yea, it looks "radiant" alright, but that's the way it is, but they may change it for NA release, doubtful though, mind you the ps2 boxart is also gonna be the pc boxart :P, and I'm gonna guess the person on PS2/PC boxart is the Empress of ToAU, but who knows. From what else I gather about ToAU, the empress is a bad person, so taking her out for one of the ToAU missions? Would be fun, would be one helluva storyline too.

Meh actually I like it, it just gives a sense of the Aht Urhgan empire, 360 version just shows the impending doom coming with the 360 players :P Anyways, it's just boxart from Amano, and they're both very his style. Also, would be great being able to duo ToAU missions with your npc, but people would actually have to level them heh.

Amano has a “fashion designers” look about his art. It’s not for everyone but I kinda like the creative edge it gives his anime drawings.

One this that’s always bugged me is that it looks like art of someone who was given information on the game… and not someone who has played it. It would be neat to see what Amano’s art would look like if he was an addict on FF11
 
We all know bad boxart = shitty expansion fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Seriously, you'll care about the boxart for the 30 seconds or so it'll take to unpack the CD/DVD and install it.

well CoP had a crappy box art and it sucks ass <3 missions sucked ass (story might have been good but missions sucked ass). The CoP wyrms are fun to fight but their drops are toys really and not that great (compared to the three land kings). Sea has fun fights (atleast as far as I can tell) but no 100% drop for pop items? fail... Limbus seems to be the only real winner. there for.. crappy boxart = shitty expansion. (I think Zilart had a bit better box art if I remember correctly).

Edit: oh wait.. the last BCNM, Promathia/Ultima, Tenzen, Apocalypse Nigh, and Bahamut were fun. But overall..CoP still sucked.

Yea, but even with the ToAU boxart you think is crappy, do you think 2 new jobs(thus far), new types of battle(assault), new storylines, amazing new areas(from what I've seen), among the various other objectives is crappy? I think you're just overgeneralizing the boxart that in your opinion you don't like. And again that's your opinion that CoP=crappy.

While I do agree since PS2's hardware is holding some things back, it better come out on PS3.

I don't like playing games on my PC and I don't want an X-Box 360.

assault is just expeditionary forces v.2.0 :P but ya.. ToAU looks promising in my opinion.. I was just having fun with what cubswoo said.
