Another painting, this one is famous for being the front cover art of Phantasy Star III's Japan release. This version on the Saturn collection is much darker than most renditions of the piece, but still shows a nice contrast of Rhys standing before the dark clouds that are coming. I always found it interesting that his sword has a finger guard similar to the trigger guard on a gun. I wonder why that is there?
Is it just me, or do Japanese versions of games frequently have better cover art?
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl Last finished Pokémon game: Shield Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4) Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation
Wonderful box artwork! Good pic of Rhys, but I agree, it is a little dark but that also sets it off better too, I think. Interesting point about the finger guard on the sword.
