Ethan Vs Renvolt japanese poster

[Ayame_pso]

I bought this promocional japanese poster ,I love it !!


http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b67486118

[kazuma56]

it doesnt look that bad, but the animation IMO looks different in a way.

[Jife_Jifremok]

Not too shabby. It allowed for a closer look at Renvolt that had me confirm some suspicion about him.

Too bad I couldn't find a better pic. Damn google. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

It's Hustler One, in Nineball Seraph form, and it's out for revenge! Old Armored Core veterans will know what I'm talking about.

(Alright, I'm going to try this again, seeing as how my reply got mysteriously deleted the first time)

I think the poster is cool. In fact, I like it better than this:

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i100/isahn80/ps2-phantasy-star-universe-jap.jpg

where it looks like that ship is flying out of Magashi's crotch.

I suppose that could potentially be used for a great pick-up line, though.

Reminds me of Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker with the Death Star in back Dx

I saw that post before it got deleted. While it's probably that certain word you used (not even that vulgar), maybe that box art was just so obscene... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Carlo210]

Renvolt looks like he's not even trying (not as cool as it sounds) and he's holding his sword in a weird way.

Erm. You know what they say about evil robots with big ...spaceships? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/cat.gif

[PJ]

About PSU's box art, yeah?

"Oh, look where the ship is coming from! Oh hahahahaha that's so funny!"

Grow up.

[Pure-chan]

About not laughing at PSU's box art, yeah?

"ZOMG, I can assert my maturity by criticizing people over the interweb!"

Lighten up. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[NightHour13]

lol Really, PJ, lighten up.

XD Now i see why Renvolt looks the way he does on the box art. I know i'd look much worse if a space ship was flying out of my crotch.

[PJ]

I'm not trying to assert my maturity. I'm just saying how retarded everyone else is being.

No one can seem to appreciate the awesome PSU box art because, "LOL PENIS!" Either the boxart is, "Funny," because of it, or it's terrible because of it. Can't even look at any other damn thing.

Don't be stupid.

[Mewn]

PJ is right.

I didn't even notice the damn thing when I looked at the box art (which I like), but everyone just seems to be like 'lol omg' over something which frankly, relies more on the imagination than anything else.

Then because it's all most people have to say about it it overshadows the rest of the art.

Just clicked on it. Works just fine. If you see a lot of question marks, it's because you don't have the Japanese language pack installed.

No one can seem to appreciate the awesome PSU box art... Can't even look at any other damn thing. First of all, thanks for telling us what to think and look at. If I'm reading this right, unless the board gets all dewey eyed over the box art, they're immature, stupid, retarded, rah rah rah. Honestly, there are 3 comments laughing at it, including the one by the original poster, isahn80. I checked it out again, I still think it's funny, since a) it's unexpected, b) IMO, in lieu of the many previous foibles involving phallic imagery on media packaging (ex. disney), Sega should have caught this and c) it pretty much does look like he's resting a giant phallus on Alfort Tylor's head. You don't find that funny, good for you. You like imposing your views on others, double good for you. I'm sure your PSU piety points are stacking up right now in ST heaven.

I'm sorry to see that humor or criticism relating to PSU by people on a message board sends you into tailspin. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif As far as the awesome-ness of the box art, I don't actually like it all that much. My personal favorite is still PSO v1 on DC. Same goes for the new poster, which to me seems somewhat uninspired. BTW, don't let me wreck it for anyone - if you like it, buy one - it's just not my cup of tea. My personal indifference for the cover art/promo poster aside, I'm still insanely excited for PSU to finally drop.

Overreact much? Seriously, did all of you somehow manage to collectively wake up on the wrong side of the same bed this morning? I'd consider jumping into the middle of a joke and calling everyone retarded closer to trolling - but hey, your opinion. Nuke away.

[isahn80]

Pure-chan's absolutely right. I mean, what's wrong with finding humor in an unintentional mistake that just happens to look hilarious? If you don't think it funny that's fine, but don't call the rest of us stupid just because we find it amusing. I'll accept immature, though. Seriously, I'd rather be "immature" (it gives me more things to laugh at and enjoy) than some stuck-up prick.

I also noticed Renvolt appears to be smiling in that pic as well. He's obviously quite happy!

[Tystys]

I'm sorry, but the poster that the topic starter posted looks a lot cooler than the box art in my opinion. Not because of the crotch thing(I didn't even know Magashi was in the back XD), but because it's just so plain. The poster actually makes me want to buy PSU more than the box art O_O

[Carlo210]

If anything, I'd say the poster is plain. Anywho, if the poster makes you want to buy the game, then the marketers have done their job.

[Authenticate]

They both look uninteresting to me. Put that one blonde newman girl on the front and it'll sell way better. Bewbs > Two guys going "IM TUFFER DEN U!"

Do I even need to say I'm joking arround, or will someone take what I say seriously yet again?

[Tystys]

Actually you're right.
Boobs sell!

I agree. To me, the effects, artwork style and coloring on the promo poster seem dated, evoking a feeling of viewing advertising from a gamepro from the early 90's. Like for a new game coming out for the SNES or Genesis. Perhaps it's intentional; meant to engage fans of earlier Phantasy Star games?

That logic is fucking retarded. If I made a racist joke in front of all sorts of ethnicities, do you think I could say "Oh haha, it was unintentinal, sorry guys. But it was still funny how I offended all you guys, right?"

Oh wow, a ship coming out of someones waist area, or thats what it looks like, or...thats what it looks like if you use your immagination. Kids these days.

And I'm 100% sure they were using layers with the boxart. The ship isn't even supposed to be on the same layer as him. People just...have a fascination with penis', I guess.

It's also possible to jump into a conversation where everyone was pretty much in agreement about a topic and start flamebating, a fact that you are willfully ignoring because your ego would rather keep a dead arguement going. Oh, and speaking of offensive, how about watching your language? Once again, your reaction is disproportionate in relation to the post you're responding to. It seems like your parents failed to properly convey this to you, but maturity is about more than just using the big boy words. Listening to the two of you cry over a post that you think is offensive, while at the same time attacking posters with insults and offensive language is the height of hypocricy.

"People just...have a fascination with penis', I guess." Now that's a funny statement coming from someone who's key example of how our posting was offensive mentions dropping a 'racist joke in front of all sorts of ethnicities'. Not funny, like 'ha ha' funny, more funny along the lines of '...following your statement to it's natural conclusion seems to give a slight tinge of homophobic inuendo'.

For the recorld let's keep in mind that the first poster to say the word "penis" in the topic was PJ. Isahn80 just said that the ship appeared to be shooting out if Renvolt's groin in a suggestive manner. Oh and wow look:

What's the matter guys? Door doesn't swing both ways? That's your cue to get all hollier-than-thou. Two boob comments and no pissy reaction from PJ and Saiffy, PSU Thought Police. Can I assume that the two of you are both sexist, as well? I'm not offended, Authenticate. Anyone with two brain cells can clearly tell that you are joking. As far as I'm concerned, you should be able to keep talking without fear of insults/flaming/cursing.

"Kids these days." I'm not a kid, I'm not stupid and I couldn't care less what you think of my sense of humor. If you don't like it, that's fair enough, how about handling it with some maturity by saying so directly, instead of posting reactionary, passive-aggressive insults and veiled accusations at the board? Not only would we have stopped, but I'm pretty sure that most of us would have apologized, since the original purpose of post was to point out a potential flaw in the artwork (followed by some very light teasing). Some people thought it was funny. Some didn't. I think it's very telling of your maturity level that you have yet to create a post that doesn't insult us.

It was spontaneous. People laughed at it. The entire dialogue lasted 3 posts. Get over it, or grab a mod or whatever you need to do to feel better about your precious game, ok? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif

Ha, I was called a sexist

Good times

I haven't even said anything in awhile and I was brought back into it.

EDIT: Ok, I'm gonna clear some things up for you very innappropriate name that can't be said.

I made a point, if you could read, that said you could even think bad about the box art. I said nothing where you HAD to think it was awesome. But if it's bad because of your imagination of a penis, then well, you're dumb. If you think it's good because of your imagination of a penis, then well, you're dumb. I was saying having an opinion on the box based off the spaceship because it looks like a penis is dumb.

So, you go randomly call people sexist, put words(I ALMOST SAID STUFF, BUT ITS OBVIOUS SOMEONE MIGHT TAKE IT AS AN INNUENDO) into peoples mouthes, and just all around be retarded.

It's a body part, this is a spaceship, how was it confusing, eh?

And calling me homophobic....XD I find this hilarious, just hilarious. If you don't get it, I'm gay. So you learn something about someone everyday! Way to jump the gun.

I will refraining from commenting on any of the other "arguments" going on, but I felt these three sentences deserved my attention. This is a very weak and obvious argumentative tactic, whereby one person asserts that the other person has to not respond, or else they are obviously wrong/foolish/whatever. I shouldn't think I should have to elaborate on why that's incredibly, well, stupid.

Also, generalizing gay people as egotistical and full of themselves is hardly firm ground for an argument. I know plenty of straight people who are egotistical and full of themselves. However many gay people you know, does not really give you any valid evidence to say whether someone you don't know has to possess some quality just because they're gay.

As I stated earlier, I'm not overly impressed with the box art for PSU. This is predominantly due to the fact that I don't like what I've seen so far with the the characters avaialable offline. Again, my favorite cover art is from the DC v1 disc.

Glad to see that you got a good laugh out of that, and no, I didn't get it since I'm not the type to make assumptions about someone's orientation. Out of context, your statement sounded homophobic. In context, your statement is just garden-variety offensive. On a personal note, I find your insinuation that people who see the spaceship as phallic "just...have a fascination with penis', I guess" to be equally laughable, since I'm a girl.

Flip back to page 1 and tell me who said that the box art was good/bad based on Isahn80's observation. I'm indifferent on the box art, but thought that post made by Isahn80 was humorous. And for that, so far I've been insulted at least a half dozen times. I personally find your reaction to a joke to be equally stupid. The difference is that I'm not insulting you over your opinion.

I guess I'm done with the PSU Forum. I guess a forum talking about a game that's not even out and has worse spam than FKL (That gives a post count too) just isn't good news. I'll be back when the games out, and there'll be real things to discuss. For the other people here, be wary of the people with the Grade 2 reading ability, they miss important points.

Aaaaand once again I'm going on record as saying that I don't find the box art to be terrible, or funny as a result of the imagery. I find the boxart to be so-so. I thought that isahn80's observation about the imagery to be humorous. Hardly a reason to start calling people stupid.

On the subject of reading comprehension, instead of laughing at the "sexist" comment, how about reading it? My point was that all it took for you to begin inulting my intelligence was isahn maing a statement which alluded to male genitalia. By comparison; the two posts about how boobs helped sell games went unattacked, hence the comment about sexism.

My accusing you of being sexist was sarcasm, meant to poke fun of the reactionary BS tactic Saify pulled by likening the Renvolt/ship discussion to a racist joke. My point being that if your going to get all rage-aholic over an implied comment about a penis, logically two comments about breasts should at least garner your attention. So if you still can't figure it out, I wasn't serious about you being sexist. I was making fun of how serious the two of you got over the previous posts. Relax. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Firstly, this topic was to comment on the OP's poster, not to act how some of you have done, and make this a stupidly unnecessary flame-war.

The whole forum, or even better, the whole damn internet should be nuked when you see stupid arguments over the most minor of things.

I didn't notice the placement of the Landeel on the poster until it was pointed out, but the fact remains that it IS incredibly badly placed.

However, it is only the boxart, and in the end, how often do most people look at boxart? There have been much worse things in games (ever noticed where the cockpit is on Jehuty (or Neith for that matter too) in Zone of the Enders? I wonder if there were flame-wars over that too?)

Just browsing through the posts here shows how the smallest of details can spark people off flaming.

I won't say 'Grow Up' or anything like that, because some older people act just as bad anyway, but really, stop arguing over the most trivial of things.

On topic: Very nice poster, although I do agree it looks very 'inspired' from Star Wars http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif Nevertheless, it is a nice poster, some good art on it.
