Phantasy Star Complete Collection: Non-Japan Cover Art

Postby Thoul » Fri Jul 15, '11, 12:01 am

This full version of the Phantasy Star II box artwork, for releases outside of Japan, is included in the Phantasy Star Complete Collection gallery for the game. On the actual game cover, the art was obscured by various logos and the black and white grid packaging design used by early Genesis games. With those removed, we can see the art much more clearly. One can debate if that is good or not, given the vast variation from the standard character designs used. Even Mother Brain, visible at the top, bears almost no resemblance to her in-game look.

Bumping up this other former Image Of The Day showcasing Mother Brain on Mother's Day today, May 14, 2017.

Another, and different, look at Mother Brain!

I've always thought that this picture was a bit awful, but after a better look, maybe it's not really the case if it's not tied to PS ! :)

To the best of my knowledge, the artist for this piece was never credited anywhere. Their name might be given in one of the art books or some rare interview I suppose, but if so I can't remember it.

Unfortunately...maybe I'll try to take a look at different artbooks but with little luck to find this useful information...:(

I haven't been able to find out yet either.

Nothing listed on the PS 2 Game Credits page here:

http://www.psalgo.com/phantasy-star-ii/credits.html

I will keep looking.
