Sweet...Love the 10th anniversary logo in top left.

Hurry up and release in America damnit!

For some reason it seems a bit different than previous box arts, although it is somewhat reminiscent of RE: COM and BBS. I really like it. Sora as usual appears ridiculously thin... and Mickey has made more cover art appearances than both Donald and Goofy =/

Tis what happens when you sleep for an entire game, become ghostly thin. Mickey is trying to make up for the tiny appearance in the first game. As for the cover it does look really nice, although perhaps cramped..and I just noticed that if Sora was stretched out he'd be the same height as Riku in this cover art.
wat.

Very good cover. I liked it.

It makes me wonder what will happen in the game...

I will pre-order the bundle and I'll make a video! Be prepared to my super brazilian english!!

hnnng that is terrific. Might be my new favorite box art. Definitely reminiscent of Re:CoM. I think it's interesting that Sora is the one that seems to be falling and Riku is rising, but I might be reading too much into it haha.

For the ghostly thin comments though, I think that's just the way Nomura draws. Like it or not, all of the KH art is like that, haha.

Geh, I am very tempted to just copy and paste my post from axel91's thread here, but I have a strange feeling that will be against the rules somehow. Screw the rules I have an opinion! I guess I'll just reword it.

So yeah I'm loving that box art, it's a big improvement over what was done in Birth by Sleep and Re:Coded (except for Europe's Special Edition BBS that was awesome). Don't want to be accused of plagiarizing so I'll credit Cecily from Khinsider for the insight on how this cover visually shows a quote from one of the first trailers to be released for the game: "Darkness becomes Light, Light falls into Darkness." Looks like that whole Sora becoming evil theory isn't so far-fetched huh? XD

Anyway the art itself seems to be different from Nomura's style somehow, the sky blue background may be the reason why I'm thinking that. And I agree with what everyone is saying that it is very reminiscent of Re:COM's cover. However, my favorite cover is still KH1. I still remember walking into the store not knowing anything about Final Fantasy or Square Soft and seeing the cover for the first time. It just gave off a feeling of an epic story that was at the time so different from the games I was playing then, plus the keyblade looked weird yet felt right, not to mention Donald and Goofy plastered there. So I bought it, totally based on the cover, 10 years later never regretted that decision! XD

That is the awesomest thing I have ever seen. I love it!

Now that I think about it, there may be quite a bit more evidence--at the end of Kingdom Hearts II, Sora said "maybe the darkness is getting to me too" when on the beach with Riku. The line always puzzled me a bit, Sora did grow a little as a character in KHII but it was nothing I felt was terribly marked or intentional. Perhaps Sora will finally get some character development and struggle with his light. =]

Unf, that's a sexy looking cover. Agh, the art for Kingdom Hearts is always so sexy.

Usually the American boxart is always similar to the Japanese, so hopefully, the NA release will get something similar looking to this.​

Omg I really like this cover! It's different from the other ones in that, like what some others have said, Sora is the one falling and Riku is rising....I SMELL PLOT TWIST!

Lol

the box art is pretty! it reminds me of Chain of Memories one for some reason.

I'm a bit worried. Mickey seems concerned with Sora as he is falling and Riku is rising. It does seem like there might be a un-expected twist. I wonder if it has anything to with Sora meeting Vanitas?

Sh-t, my jaw just drop when I looked at this. This does give a reference to Chain of Memories because you can play as both Sora and Riku in that game too. The 10th logo is a very nice touch. I hope there will be a official wallpaper of this soon. This box art is way more impressive then Birth By Sleep in my opinion. I dont really think Micky is really necessary in the box art this time around though.
