Just from covers? I tend to prefer action stories, so PQ2 having Gun's and Explosion's would sell me. I am a simple man.

I like the composition of the PQ 2 box the best, especially the way the slanted red 2 draws the eye to the drama below.

I think the score is 9-8 in favor of PQ2 right now, huge surprise imo, 1 and half day of voting still remain

Then let’s make it a bit more exciting, I’ll cast my vote for KQ6 - mainly because it’s a much more iconic box that I remember well.
This is actually the first time I’ve even seen the PQ2 cover art. I find it quite cool, actually! A bit bland but still cool.

That’s kind of what I thought about the PQ cover—bland. It looks like more than half of all movie posters, Netflix thumbnails, book covers to a lesser extent, etc., with some kind of lineup of characters arrayed in front of an atmospheric background.

Damn, voting for match 1 closes 12 pm EST tomorrow and we're tied!

PQ2 is my favorite game ever, but I never considered whether I liked the box art. My opinion mirrors a lot of people here. It's not great, but it does capture that Saturday Matinee poster feel. KQ6 seems very reductive.
PQ2 vote.

And the winner of match 1 is PQ2!!

Oh geez, can't say I really like either of these two! Haha! xD
Okay, for LSL3 I really don't vibe at all with the art style. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it per say, though.
For KQ5 it seems like something more up my alley, but there's just something about it I don't like... I'm not saying that's what it actually is, but it feels like a bad photoshop collage! Why does the castle in the background have higher detail level than everything in the foreground? Why is the gargoyle dude flying towards the camera and not Rosella? Why is she looking in fear at something not in the picture when there are things to be scared of in the picture?
You know what? I dislike both. I considered just abstaining from voting, but I actually think I'm going to give this one to LSL3, if for no other reason than that I think it's funny that it's designed to look like a magazine cover.

These are both ugly. I’ll go with KQ4 because it’s less garish and no boobs out front.
Rubacava, your new pic still has the titles from the last round.
