Ok people, I need your help as part of my FFXI packaging project: Which is the better style of Final Fantasy packaging?

For those of you who don't know, there are Regional differences between the Covers, please have a look before saying which you prefer ^_^
Japan (http://hosted.barrysworld.net/theartist/images/FFIXJAPF.jpg) - (Sorry about the quality, but you get the idea)
US (http://hosted.barrysworld.net/theartist/images/FFIXUS.jpg)
Europe (http://hosted.barrysworld.net/theartist/images/FFIXEUR.jpg)
and for the sake of arguement, heres an example of the PC style packaging (Not from the same game sadly) :

So please, which do you prefer? :happy:

I prefer the simple, elegant styling of the Japanese versions. They seem more classy I guess.

The US versions would be better as Booklet covers, or perhaps under the CD holder.

I hate the big black Playstation bar on UK covers. When it comes to covers the UK always seem to get the worst.

If you compare the cover spine on US and UK PS2 games, you'll see that where we get boring black writing, the US usually get the game logo - much cooler!

I like the European package, but the Japanese one is a good one too.

I liked the Japanese version of the packaging much more than the rest. It had a very unique look, the whole blank screen w/the logo just seems interesting to me

The PC! The PCCCCCCCC! Just look at whose on the cover :love:! *falls over*
Nah but seriously, The Japan Package is cool because it's just plain and simple. I also like the US one because it displays the characters and it makes it more -enjoyable to look at- so to speak. So, I think I'd go with either the Japan or US packaging.

PS: If you have a scroll with Squalls cutie face, I'll buy it off ya!
:laugh:

That was kind of unavoidable, as I can't find the Jap packaging for FFVIII and the way that FFIX doesn't actually exist...

Anyways I voted for the Japanese Packaging, and at school the PC packaging was the most popular (the US, then Jap, with no score for the European packaging ^_^)
