Here is the Japanese cover for Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity in Japan). We get a low angle shot of the three playable character looking up at a tower of amazing scale. It's beautiful, yet mysterious and haunting. I like it.
Now let's look closely at the North American cover art. Now this shit is rad. It appears the church shoot-out of all church shoot-outs is exploding right out of the box. I can't imagine how many badguys they must be fighting in this church, but with all the guns and gun posing going on here, my guess is it must at least be a dozen. Wait, actually I think I can figure this out. The dude in the back is clearly focused on taking out a propane tank sitting in the corner, as only this could be possible given the intensity of his gaze and the ferocity of his grip -- the explosion should take out at least four dudes. Now, you might think the girl in the front is only killing the badguy sneaking in via a rope hanging from the ceiling (while red jacket kid confirms the kill), but really this photo was taken just seconds after she released a grenade toss aimed at three baddies to her left. Red jacket kid of course finishes everything off as he shoots the grenade tossed by girl in mid air. Eight dudes dead in seconds -- amazing.
So there you have it. You may have initially thought this cover was just an uninspired mess of anime characters, guns, and gun dancing; but really it's Action Movie: The Cover.
You win this time Sega of America.

End Fo Eternity looks rad. So does Resonance Of Fate.

I just realized that this is posted under humour, so yeah this is probably sarcastic.

I'm amazed at the amount of people that didn't know this was sarcasm.
Needless to say, I lol'd.

I will admit, the Japanese cover does convey more that this game is going to be more of an RPG, while the American one makes it look like this is going to be some kind of shooter.
Even so, the cover isn't too bad. It could be a lot better, but still not the worse I've seen. I think everyone could agree that this is no where near the atrocity that is the "Yakuza 3" cover.

Even though Brad is probably being sarcastic, the way he describes the second cover art makes it seem a hell lot cooler then it looks.

SEGA will never win, or "get it" for that matter, if sonic 4 doesn't do MW2 style sales i see sega in some real trouble. and always remember STUPID WEST LIKE GUNS! THEY UNDERSTAND NOTHING ELSE!

I actually like the second cover, it's kind of stupid and cheesy in an awesome way.
I'm so on the fence with this damn game. I can't tell if it will be a monstrous wreck (a la Enchanted Arms) or if it will be some bizarre epic.

I hope this game turns out to be good, been awhile since I played a good JRPG.

If this were Facebook I would "like" this, but sadly it's not. Which leaves me no other choice than to do it manually.
I like this.

There is so much snark in this post. It feels like there's a real Brad ranting right in my ear.
I'm guessing that's a bad thing.

The crappy cover art doesn't matter. They under shipped this so much I doubt you'll see a copy on any shelves. Unless it's used. Sega had no faith in this game.
Too bad. A friend tells me it's good.

I love the creativity Brad put into that.

Thought it said 'End Fo Eternity' at a first glance. lol

The japanese cover is far far better, but I wouldn't called the NA cover bad its just not my kind of thing. Although it could definately do without the girl in the foreground who looks as though shes a sticker thats be put onto the case.

The biggest problem with the NA cover is that everything seems to be packed into the centre of the screen, which is an artistical no-no. The japanese cover's focal has several focal points which are arranged around the centre, making the image far more interesting to look at, as well as making the image seem less clutered
