How gay is the Phantasia box art?
« on: December 28, 2005, 07:06:43 PM »


And waht's with this Everybody rating? Is this to say that all Arche's sexual adventures and the swearing has been removed? This could be the weakest thing ever.  
So anyway I was in the shopping center demanding to know where they kept the western potatoes when Drive Safe came around with Simple Plan blaring out telling me that driving on the wrong side of the road is ok if the other guy is drunk while I immediately jumped on my dirt racer to zoom out of ther

Yeah seriously, they just destroyed any chance of sales with that boxart. The only people who will even look at it for long enough to read the title would be 11 year old girls, and then they'll realise its a weird RPG and put it back down.

And yes, the bloody horse has eight legs. Seriously what's going on? Even a picture of the mana tree would be less weak.

This game doesn't have the official Nintendo seal of approval, so nobody should bother anyway.

I dont see the gayness anywhere, not at least compared with every single rpg cover ever made. You people have weird standards for that.

Theres a horse in norse mythology that has eight legs, I think its name is Hagen and was the ride of Thor or Odin.

Well who the hell cares if the box art sucks or not there are plenty of good games with subpar and/or crappy box arts and did those box arts made you not buy the game......... I think not. Well most RPG's on the GBA get E or E10+ because the most you can do on it is fantasy voilence and alcohol references DUH, FFIV on GBA is E10+ and did that rating stop you from buying the game? geeze.

Have you played the ToP SNES rom? They can do a lot worse than gambling and alcohol.

See that's the thing, it's a hardcore game but it gets this soft, sissy boss that's going to make me feel like a total poof when I buy it.

Well if you look closely at the box, it says '3 Tales of Phantasia', so I think that's pretty good and will perhaps rival a Boy and His Blob Rescue of Princess Blob Slut on Game Boy for longest adventure game ever. 17 minutes! There is a spider on the wall. =(

I think they were trying to capture motion with drawing the horse with more legs.  Its in full stride.  And the cover isn't that bad.  I think its kinda cool.

Correction, its name is Sleipnir. Hagen is a warrior mentioned in the Nibelungenlied.

Holy crap you people are whiny.

I'd hate to think what everyone thought of the River City Ransom box art.

As for story changes, that would suck, but given that PG movies these days have lots of sexual innuendo in them, I doubt it will be a big deal.

God forbid you play the game first, the core motto of any Nintendo fan.
I must find a way to use "burninate" more in my daily speech.

you know, i never played the original mega man... i think i see why now.

as for tales, once i found out it was related to tales of symphonia, i was sold. the box could have had pink bunnies on it, and rainbow bright, who could kick laura croft's butt, btw.

if you've only played the snes rom you're in for a tricky surprise when you play this game. all of the swearing and sex stuff is 100% fake.

I'll get this if it ever gets a local release, I mean, I have this;



And that's about thirty times worse than ToP's boxart.

For the first time EVER we are getting Tales of Phantasia legally, and not having to resort to a rom, and so many of you people are complaining.  Not about the game, but about the damn box art.  Didn't your parents ever tell you not to judge a book by its cover, the same goes for a game.

I don't think anybody's said anything about the quality of the game, you can judge the cover by its cover.
