Best Final Fantasy Cover Art?

[Lirael]

Which Final Fantasy has the best title art?

What do you like about the design?

Do you like several examples?

Final Fantasy X is my personal favourite, not only aesthetically, but in how it relates to the plot. Yuna's dance is one of the most poignant scenes in the game and in this scene a number of FFX's main themes congregate; the spiral of life, loss, the summoner's role as a pillar of hope, destruction, even love.

I'm also very fond of XIII's logo. The final scene with Vanille and Fang is the one scene in XIII which had a real effect of me.

Spoiler

Their strength against the final boss and their sacrifice for the good of Cocoon is simply beautiful.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I also love VI (it's RED and vibrant), II for the PSP (I love the art style and this image is so detailed), IV (the D.S. version) and the art for the PSP version of Tactics.

My two favorites are FFIX and Tactics, IX was very simple and I like the simple Title covers.
Tactics again was very simple yet very flashy at the same time.

The few I didn't like were XIII (all of them), X, and VII DOC mainly because they are too flashy and try to do too much.

Fina Fantasy XII cover is just amazing.

Please tell us more why it is amazing. Just saying so isn't quite enough, and the post may be considered as spam. Thanks.

I absolutely love X's logo, the colours are beautiful, it's beautiful, and it has a meaningfull connection to the sotry, much like XIII's. Another one I really like is X-2's because of the colour, but I don't really like the art, just love the colour lol. The 'other' option I chose because of the Advent Children logo, which is brilliant. The way it makes you think it's a take on meteor from VII' logo but when you look closer it's actually Midgar, really cool and interesting and it stands out from the others.

X has my favorite logo in the series, it really catches the eye the best, and had a wonderful blend of colors.

Final fantasy x and xii are my personal favorites

FFX's logo is honestly the prettiest/most appealing of them all. FFXII's looks cool, and I like the simplicity of the Crystal for FFIX. But I voted for X's design.

I have to agree with what everyone else has said. The FFX and FFXII logos stand out the most, plus they are brilliantly colored~ :3

FFXIII's logo is pretty darn awesome too, though. I think it's neat how the main image is oriented to the right, meanwhile previous logos were traditionally oriented to the left and/or center. ^^
I think that's FFXIII's way of saying, "Yeah, I'm not like the rest. So what?" haha xD;

The worst-looking one is probably Crisis Core's logo honestly. They really could've added much more detail. >_>;

c
Most of compilation of ffvii arent that great. Most likely because they werent done by yoshitaka amano which is upsetting. Wouldve been great to see them done by him.

I personally like Crystal Chronicles' logo the most. When you see any of those trees that are in the logo in the game itself, you always feel relief that you've done a great job and they always provide a bit of excitement about which stats you'll be able to upgrade better than your co-op mates. All of this in one simple logo makes it my favourite.
Oh, it's also green and the 2 huge Cs makes it really stand out

My favourite Logos are the Final Fantasy XII and IV ones.. I guess it is just because if I had never played a Final Fantasy game before and I looked at the covers I would be intrigued by the amazing display of the images. For a very ignorant person about Final Fantasy the covers would seem that they portrait the final bosses of the game and they look really badass.

VII - It reminds me of the nike (swish) logo & the design looks solid. One of the few FF logos I actually like.

VIII - The love story in the game failed to deliver. The symmetry and uniqueness of the logo and that it 'tells a story' makes it 2nd best.

not exactly just some have that in common. (VII, XII and XIII) its more they portray the ending but even then they dont.

What?? Im sorry I just didnt understand what you meant with your post. Coud you enlighten me?

Not all of them portray the ending. Some just illustrate characters.

 

[Omegadruid]

It seems you didnt understand what I meant. I said that for a completely ignorant person about the franchise the logos of the FF4 and 12 would seem like the final bosses. And that the images look pretty badass.

 

[Razberry Knight]

Ah ok my bad. Btw is that cloud of darkness in the opening post of the fanmade ff13 logo?

 

[.Mosh]

I am tied between FFXIII,FFXII, FFX and FFVII:AC because each of them are designed wonderfully and are just well coloured and represent something meaningful to each game

 

[Artemisia]

FFII - have always loved this logo, especially the pose of the Emperor.
FFVIII - my all-time favourite. I think it's Rinoa's nails...or the moment when they finally fall into the logo's embrace and you just go "aaaahhh"
FFX - definitely one of the most well-thought out logos, representing Yuna's battle against Sin and mirroring the sending dance.

 

[Hayate]

I guess I am a follower and tend to go for FFX's and FFVIII's logo design. I cannot believe so many like FFXII's logo though. I feel lke it was so...boring. Lol. Something about it is just not "FF" feeling.

X's logo is just all around gorgeous and represents the story well as does VIII's. The way Rinoa and Squall are connected and how the are in the story does the title well.
