What? This is one hell of a fierce boxart and very fitting imo. Yeah the dude is upside dwon, so what? It's hard to convey a trio with equal standing in such a small, slender picture. They did the best and i love it.

Feel like they could have deleted the middle 2 characters and just made the yellow character straight up rather than upside down which kind of looks poor.

I love the box art, who gives a damn anyway - I look at the box art once when I buy the game then toss it into a shelf or wherever, it's not a big deal.

The special edition art makes me want a Fire emblem ARPG on PS5 haha

Yes, lol. We will just have to get over the incredible acrobatic talents of Upside-Down Claude.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. The position of all five characters makes it look crowded and the colour combinations are jarring. It seems a big step down, quality wise, from the boxart for the 3DS Fire Emblem games.

Really bad cover, no idea what they were thinking. FE has a history of great cover art.

I really hope there's a reversible cover that's either the Fodlan collection art or something less amateurish.

I'm in the minority that likes it.

If anyone dislikes it that strongly, I recommend buying the game and reversing the cover art so you wouldn't have to see it much haha.

It looks bad, all the 3DS games had gorgeous boxart, as well as PoR and the SNES games. But as the game is looking better every time we have new information, I'm not that worried. Also I bought the LE, that has a far better boxart (it's the same for Europe AFAIK):

I really dislike the boxart but I will buy it no matters what.

On this subject, any way to know the three houses differences without being spoiled all over? I just watch the last treehouse and the presenter spoiled a story bit smh.

I see what they were going for with the three leaders surrounding the two player avatars. It's not good, it's not even interesting, but it's not really something bad or poor quality, imo. Also, to the OPworried about having to see it on his shelf - how do you store your games? I only see the spines of my games.

As for the bow, a few folks explained this earlier and I think it was hard to describe in text so I doodled a dumb looking mock up that might be what's going on with that bow.

Three Houses has so much beautiful art, it's a shame the box art and icon are a bit weird. They're fine, but not... good.

If you don't want to know story details i guess the only difference between houses apart from that is the characters you get to play with in each house you can see them here:

While I don't like the boxart too much, the biggest problem this game is female Byleth's outfit. The idiot who approved that should be fired and forced to wear that abomination an entire week.

I don't mind knowing story details, not just plain story spoilers as in the Treehouse.
We really don't know many details yet apart from the big reveals at E3 which is what i imagine you got spoiled for you, apart from that we just know that every House will have a unique route at some point so there's going to be differences and replayabilty for each House.

I laughed at the serious looking anime boy hanging upside down. I don't know what a Fire Emblem is but I like it and think it should stay.

Everyone in this thread complaining about the boxart is just upset that they're not handsome enough to break the laws of gravity.

It's fine, I thought it was weird at first but it kind of grew on me. I'm way too excited for this game to let something like the boxart get me down.

Black Eagles represent the Adrestrian Empire, oldest kingdom, founded by the legendary Seiros after the War of the Heroes. It has a bigger focus on magic, but not every character is actually magic focused, that seems to be just a general description.

Blue Lions represent the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, a kingdom renown for its knight order that apparently split from the Adrestian Empire at some point in the past.

Golden Deer come from the Leicester Alliance, a league of minor kingdoms that didn't swear allegiance to either Faerghus or Adrestian Empire. Merchants seem to have more power here than in the other kingdoms, but the leader of the alliance is still the noble house of Riegan.

We really don't need to raise a stink over a silly boxart.

It's silly, but whatever. I find it kind of cute, myself.

If the OP has energy and drive to start a petition and raise a stink, there are about three million causes more worthwhile than the box art for Fire Emblem. It's fine, I like the colors.

The bottom of his bow doesn't appear to bend the same way if that is the case.
