I remember every action movie, commercial whatever in the early 80s/90s people would be drenched in sweat. Nowadays everyone stays preserved in beauty filters but for a while it was soaking pores and greasy hair dripping with sweat like in this box art

Classic box art; good, bad, ugly? You decide. Pretty hilarious that the game was some random space shootemup and THIS was the cover lmao. Personally, I'm a fan.

Japanese box art vs. the U.S. release. What the fuck were they thinking? Did they really find us to be that stupid?

I was born around 1 year after FFVI was released, so when I saw FFVI on magazines and whatnot, it had the original Japanese cover. How do you go from girl riding on a badass mecha to... Mog. Whenever I see those fuck ups, make me think that the cover designers were jealous of the cool original covers
