to add. this is an example of what creative freedom results in. you can see SFC covers used both vertical and horizontal formats. there was a lot of different styles too. cartoon, anime, SD, watercolor, Frazetta-style, sometimes pre-rendered 3D. some used standard BGs, Square notoriously used white BGs, and some covers were just unorthodox like that wooden look Kirby Super Star cover. or you could remember other cool ones, like Seiken Densetsu 2 with that huge painting of a forest.
in the West, most of it would be heavily cropped or redrawn as samey paintbrush art.
