Man, am I glad I didn't buy any of the digital versions. (besides ff7 ps4)
Heck, I'm kinda gun shy on grabbing the UK FF8 PS4 physical, knowing if SE will do an USA version soon after.

I lowkey wish they went for the same cover style than the FFVIII Remaster PS4 and did the same for FFVII. Also, the Twin pack cover plain sucks so this is... fine, I guess?
Lmao what a horrendous box art. Amarant being lower down than the others is killing me gjfjfkfkffk

Hmm that's weird. Here's a screenshot I got earlier.What's the source on this? The link doesn't work for me and I'm not seeing it on their Facebook.

Checked just now and it's the second post in Square Enix Asia in FB.
I wish they used the original JP box art instead. Nice, concise, elegant. This version's box art...oof.
That is a dreadful box art, that's for sure. Hopefully it's changed when this releases outside of Asia in a year.
I'm not a FF player and don't know much about FFIX, but 2 decades ago I saw a black and white screenshot of one of the characters (searched now and its name is Quina Quen) and always thought that tongue is a very long nose! lol Something like those Japanese masks with long noses:
That tongue is obvious in big colorful screenshots, but it wasn't that obvious in a small screenshot like this:

Was surprised that people here seem to hate the box art when people in Facebook seem to love it. It's okay but Amarant got the short end of the stick there.
Box art is fantastic and everyone dissing it needs to lose their JRPG enthusiast card S.T.A.T.
Day one for best girl Freya

Yes. I believe it will have English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
The big thing for me is that they actually tried to mimic it, even if standardized box mandates got in the way. And Amarant did get it rough, but I'm happy they chose to push him down so his face can be seen, rather than being covered up by the switch logo.
Even with its shortcomings its still far and away better than the original ps1 release in US. I know people love the plane Jane logo only box arts but 9's character design deserves to be shown off.
Vivi is exactly where he needs to be to attract attention.
Oh nice. Guess I'll have to dust off my play Asia account lol
So did they announce early & then delete it or something? Can't find a source to this anywhere now.
Hideous box art, but I'm definitely in for a copy. VII, VIII, and now IX... physical... and on a Nintendo console. What times we live in!
Yeah, it's...bad...
Seriously they couldn't use some of Amano's artwork for the cover? Here are some in here
Or just use the PSOne cover art

I still see it on the Square Enix Asia page. Not sure if it's region based though. I'm in SEA.
This really throws me. Why not just release the PSX trilogy in one box at a higher price? Weird to divorce this one from the other two, especially since VIII got the more distinctive remaster treatment and would be the one you'd expect them to sell separately, if any of them
Reminds me of the Romancing Saga 3 Switch boxart
At least Romancing Saga 3 was originally a SFC game and therefore came in a landscape oriented box, so the Switch boxart makes at least some sense. But with Final Fantasy IX? Surely there was some better portrait artwork they could use - hell even the Final Fantasy standard "logon on a white background" seems more suitable!
