July 18, 201411 yr looks kind of fan-made. but the overall layout is nice. For some reason, Aqua, Mickey, KH1 Sora, Ansem, and Xemnas are the only ones that retain to Nomura's original art style. Has his style changed as of late? Because Xehanort looks extremely deformed and creepy (fits him as a character though), KH 2 Sora and everyone else look like they're only 10 years old! ESPECIALLY ROXAS. and i don't like that. at all. at ALL. but its better than anything i could draw. lol. Edited July 18, 201411 yr by khdayskh1314
July 18, 201411 yr For some reason, it seems less well designed to me than I.5's cover. I could ramble as to what that reason is, but I don't want to… well, ramble x_x Also, I agree with khdayskh1314—everybody (sans Xehanort) looks really, really young for some reason. Especially that Re:coded Riku. He looks like he's eight!
July 18, 201411 yr FREAKIN' GORGEOUS. The best part? All of the various Keyblade's surrounding the group. They even put Kairi's up there! But Xehanort's face......he looks like hes about to sacrifice somebody.
July 18, 201411 yr Ya but no Kairi and Riku for KH2FM ... and also dat Master Xehanort... just imagine seeing that face outside your window when you're sleeping 2 in the morning...
July 18, 201411 yr Didn't Like: Roxas looks too young, Xehanort looks... weird, no Kairi, Vanitas or Eraqus Did like: Xemnas, Terra Ven and Aqua look badass, art style is cool Liked it overall but the 1.5 cover had Xion on it so 1.5 wins
July 18, 201411 yr I think it made better use and at the same time worse use of it's space than 1.5's. Unlike 1.5 there aren't any huge gaps at the side, but there is still space for characters that are notably absent like Kairi and Namine.
July 18, 201411 yr Like i said in another post, its just box art. You get the game to play the game, not stare at the case. I understand some people are annoyed by the cover art but im OK with it since i dont really care that much
July 18, 201411 yr The only problem is no KHIIFM Kairi and Riku. That said, THIS COVER IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Xehanort is the best part )
July 18, 201411 yr I think it's okay. That's to say the coverart won't stop me picking it up, BBS is my favourite game and I'm hyping myself up to play it more I think about it, and KH2FM will be amazing as it always is, but the coverart seems like a good idea that was executed poorly and could be vastly improved with a few minor tweaks in my opinion.
July 18, 201411 yr It's not awful but I do feel that there is too much happening on it. I think a far cleaner design more akin to 1.5 would have been better. My main gripes with it is Master Xehanort, Roxas and both Re:coded Sora and Riku. The designs aren't particularly appealing to me and I think it would have been far better if Riku and Kairi had been on the box in their KH2 designs, while adding Namine to the box for Re:coded. Again it's not awful but it's just not what I expected from a Nomura drawing. Luckily both Kingdom Hearts II and Birth by Sleep are great games so what is on the box doesn't not matter in the slightest. It's what's in the box that matters.
What did you think about HD 2.5 ReMIX's cover artwork?
