Title: ***Done***PS1 - Final Fantasy 7-9 20th Style
Post by: Cabal on October 16, 2008, 03:27:59 PM
Hey, I was wondering if anyone could create custom covers for Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 like that of 20th Anniversary of Final Fantasy I and II, it would be much appreciated.

like this:

I tried doing this a while back with little success.  The problem is the "logo art" used for those games are better suited for a horizantal canvas and the DVD is a vertical canvas.

shenske, I've seen you Dreamcast FF cases in this styles, is there anyway you can make the 4, 5, and 6 for the PS1, if not much trouble?

ooh, FF7 looks nice. I can't help but feel a tad annoyed that it's not the original "meteor" logo image, but I imagine there's a good reason for it not being so. Can't wait to see FF9.

It's too bad FF10's logo is so friggin' huge, because it'd look great in that. (a thinly veiled request I know.)

I didn't use the original meteor because it was too hard to extract from the "entire logo" (meteor + FF text). 
Same w/ the FF8 logo too.  You probably don't even notice that, it uses a slightly different pose.
The Advent children meteor has a lot more going on too, the original meteor when blown up you can't even tell what it is. 
(just a huge chunk of color every once and while some black too)


Final Fantasy IX

I think they look fantastic! Are you still going to try and convert the 1-6 dreamcast covers into PS1? Any chance of the PS2 titles getting this treatment?

I know it's probably a lot to ask of you but this is pretty fantastic looking

Those cases are simply beautiful, could I get the links to the full covers so I can print these off?

one small mistake: Final Fantasy VII says "3 discs" on the front, underneath an icon for 4 discs.

I would've loved to use these, except that they wouldn't look right to me in horizontal format. They're still good, though.

I know, that's what I mean. The icon on the front shows 4 discs though.

I personally don't like the vertical format and i have no plans to convert them

come on guys ... i wrote that was something i need to fix on the sentence below the preview picture.  I just didn't feel it was necessary to make a new preview pic  ::)

I apologize, I didn't notice that.

Which is why I won't use them. I would convert them myself if I could, but I can't. If someone else could, that'd be great.

The artwork doesn't seem like it'd work too well with the vertical format. I could try converting it for you once Shenske posts the hi-res versions.

ehh ... no worries i accidently skip over stuff i read all the time.

about the vertical versions ... when i up the FF covers i respectfully don't want anyone to "alter them" and reupload them to the site.
I understand that is quite a dissappointment to some and i aploogize for that.  Maybe w/ time i'll convert them but if anyone converts them it will be me.

Okay then, I won't do that. I respect your position on that.

Man shenske, I love you and hate you so much right now :D :P
Love the covers (and like others would love to see more for the rest of the series), but hate the fact that I'm now torn on the decision to replace my current ones that I made (based on Lumberjack42's backs but different front and spines, thus never reloaded) or use these new ones you've created.

I almost want to remove my Ps1 Final Fantasy games from their original cases to use these.
 They look beautiful.  Why the hell couldn't Squaresoft make their cases nice and matching like this?

although I agree with liking the horizontal ones better, I have to say that it does, in fact, look quite nice in the vertical format.

These are some of the best custom covers I have ever seen.  All that is missing from this fantastic lineup are the Origins (since it has both FF and FF II on one disc >.<), FF IV and V covers. If someone could make those covers, the whole collection would be complete.

I hope Shenske does FF/FF2, IV, V, X, X-2, and XII.  I might just use these instead of the ones I made myself.
