By the way...are there any cat/tiger Pokemon that's water type? Might check Pokedex to make sure...

I think would be the closest.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

To be fair, MCU didn't really get a lot of attention until Avengers. That's when MCU really became a cult following here.

And they never stopped moving forward

Also...

Spoiler: ...after watching and enjoying Captain Marvel...

The Nick Fury eye thing was ridiculous, funny...but still ridiculous. And there definitely were some problems (especially breaking the “awesome villians/antagonists” stress Phase 3 was having), but none big enough to not rank it a 7/10 at the best and worst

Some people are still willing to die on the "Nintendo connection" hill.

Or an attempt to separate themselves from the usual Soras and Erdricks you see in leaks.

Marine? John space marine?

You know him as Doomguy.

It’s impossible to ride or die with either paths...unless Shantae and John Cena were involved

I'm surprised no one has brought this up yet, but the box art for Fire Emblem: Three Houses has been revealed, and it looks great!

The cover art is designed by Chinatsu Kurahana, and he is also revealed to be the character designer for this game! I'm not sure what other art for other games he has done, but I think someone here might now.

They also revealed some music from the game.

Here's the main theme:

And here's one of the battle themes. You'll recognize it because it played during the recent Direct:

Last but certainly not least, we got a whole lot of information about the limited edition, complete with pictures!

Something looks off about it but I don't know what.

All I can say is it looks like a step down from Awakening and Fates.

 

[---]

It's nice to see some color in a Fire Emblem game, so I have no complaints if that's used as the international boxart.

I'm still not a fan of the artstyle overall, non-sprite in-game portraits in general really, but I am glad to see it being confirmed that it's a new artist so the 3DS era can be further put to rest within the fandom. Also am pretty sure Chinatsu Kurahana is a woman.

It can't be Yu-Gi-Oh though, everyone's hair has to be three different colors at once and qualify as a modern art piece in order for it to be that.

She's indeed a lady.

I think she's mostly known for being the designer for Uta no Prince-sama, a really popular Otome series of games.

 

[Mythra]

If you grab the Edelgard image from the cover and slap it on the "Everyone is Here" mural it would fit perfectly.

It kinda looks like one of those "slap the stock art together to make boxart" mock-ups you'd see on Deviantart to me. The way the main trio are positioned reminds me too much of the Shrek 2 movie poster. The colors are kind of garish. The way the weapons collide, the point of focus is different on each of them. The head of Edelgard's axe, the...top portion of Claude's bow, and...the...hilt(?) of Dimitri's lance? It brings weird focus to each of the weapons. And then the Byleth's are just kinda standing around. It communicates nothing about the game itself.

Meanwhile, let's look at what I think is the best boxart in the series, SoV.

A cohesive, warm color pallet and distinctive artstyle. The two main protagonists, front and center, have everything that needs to be communicated about them conveyed through the art. Celica, a magical priestess who cares for her people above all else, but is going through turbulent emotional trauma, eyes closed and hands clasped in prayer, and Alm, the warrior, eyes alert, but somber, staring into his blade, knowing full well he needs to topple an empire despite the odds. Both protagonists' backs are to each other, showing their physical separation, but also the closeness between them. The looming castle in the background gives a sense of scope, that the war is much bigger than they are.

But like...the Three Houses boxart doesn't really say anything. That's one of my biggest issues with it. You can't glean anything out of it beyond "hey here are three characters representative of their houses. Byleth is in the middle because he and she are you." Nothing about the teaching aspect, nothing about the church of Seiros. If anything, the fact that the monastery is so tucked away in the background makes it seem like the church isn't the overarching focal point, despite the fact that from everything we know, it is.

Thanks for the mental image of Edelgard doing the Dreamworks face.

There's way too much going on at once, I think. Especially Claude being upside down. Looks really silly and forced.

 

[Erureido]

Also am pretty sure Chinatsu Kurahana is a woman.

Yeah, you're right on the Chinatsu Kurahana part. SF goofed up putting "Mr." in front of her name. I fixed the error in my original post.

[Arcanir]

I kind of get what they're going for with the focus on the three main characters from the houses, but I agree that it fails in conveying the importance of why they're there while also (as Opossum said) failing to highlight other important elements. To kind of steal a bit of Opossum and use another FE example that I feel does a better job of conveying multiple factions, I'll use Fates. The game has two different boxarts for Birthright and Conquest, the former shows the main characters from the Hoshido faction with the background having a lighter, friendlier color scheme while the latter shows the main characters from the Nohr faction while also having a darker color scheme, and if you get the full artwork you get Azura in the middle holding up a lance with a light at the end. Thus through the full artwork you get the gist of the themes, you have two factions that you can side with depending on the game you choose, while Azura is a major player in the events and also hints at the third path due to her being in the center of it all.

Three Houses shows the three together, but the theme is not conveyed and the lack of the church serving as the 'Azura' in the middle really downplays the importance of that plot element. Thus it fails to bring everything together and highlight what the game will be about, and doesn't give you a good impression of the game.

Agreed on all fronts. I thought I'd have more to add but I kind of don't.

Really, if I were making a poster for a sale at our store, the Three Houses boxart is what my boss would try to get me to make (put as much of everything as you can and make it loud) before I ultimately ignore him, make something visually cohesive and professional, and show him, "oh yeah that's actually way better".
