So Dragon Quest VI just came out and I snagged my copy today. I had seen pictures of the new boxart online and I was hoping it was some kind of placeholder image. It wasn't. The game's predecessors, Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest V, followed a certain theme to their covers. The three games are a part of a trilogy so it makes sense that they all have a common style. Unfortunately, Dragon Quest VI's cover design was completely modified to match the more recent Dragon Quest IX. This frustrates me because the T is just a T and not a sword and the spine art is a stark contrast to the other two games'.
Is anyone else frustrated by this and can anyone give me some tips on creating a new cover design to match the other two? I hate it when this sort of thing happens with games.
