Random: We're In Awe of Metaphor: ReFantazio's Box Art | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

There's nothing quite like video game box art that makes you stop and say «wow». Admittedly, it's been a while since such a cover caught our eye, but we simply can't gawk at the newly revealed box art for Metaphor: ReFantazio and not write an article about it.

The upcoming RPG looks to be a stunner in terms of art direction, and the cover gives you a taste of that before you even get started. It features gorgeous character-focused art, and although we still think the name 'Metaphor: ReFantazio' is a bit… overwrought, we can't argue with the logo, which is striking.

NieR: Automata's Kazuma Koda is credited as Metaphor's concept artist, so we're assuming it's his work that's decorating this box, but it's also worth noting that longtime Persona character designer Shigenori Soejima is running the show.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

It's very nice. As ever Atlus is on point with their graphic design. But saying you are in «awe» of it seems like typical internet hyperbole.

Not «Metaphwoar»?

I'm in awe over everything about this game! Keeping tabs on it. Never really saw P5's UI as extra stylish but this right here is the real deal, everything looks stunning!

I like it. One of the best game art I've ever seen imo is the mural from fire emblem engage, which is odd because the rest of the game looks like cheap anime with toothpaste stains.

@Shaunholio I've missed an absolute sitter here.

Average soulless Disney/ Marvel cover.
This looks almost tongue in cheek though

Not a Jrpg fan since the PS1 days but P5R got me hooked and this
