FF games have always bothered me a bit this way... the faces seem so very young, but the bodies and attire much older. It seems somehow awkward to me.

This cover is more simple than at least the last 5 Final Fantasy games that was released in the US. To me it seems more like throw up "BS headline" to get more readers technique than the "sex sells" technique going on here. I don’t see where this resembles the “sex sells” marketing technique.

You think so? Sure, in Japan, they're usually just white walls with just the logo, but in the West, they've remained fairly lavish, since the US release of VII. Just look at XII's lush movie-poster-esque design, or VIII and IX's wide character line-up covers. I'd hardly say they've always been "simple." I also find criticizing the box art as a "sex sells" gimmick to be fantastically over-sensitive. Final Fantasy box art, “simple”? You think so?
