Dear Square Enix,
In an earlier thread, the official North American boxart for Final Fantasy XIII was posted. It was met with criticisms towards its over-simplicity and bland design.
Ugly and plain.
I commend the asymmetry, but that alone isn't enough to keep this cover from being one of the most boring ones I've ever seen in my life, and that's not an exaggeration.

Boring and uncreative. Plus the rating should be moved away from all the "action".Pneumonia-Hawk
In my opinion, it is boring and lacking in both creativity and imagination. Most any of us could have done better. A lot better.
Oh well...

Since simplicity is no longer cool, it appears that your North American and PAL marketting teams have screwed up big-time. Americans don't want to stare at white; they need explosions and things that move fast.
I come to you today to offer you a better alternative. I'm certain that this new boxart better suits the ever-changing demographic of gamers you wish to supply, and will most likely push sales further than your previous estimations. Please take a good, hard look at your fanbase for next time, since they obviously trump any professional media designers you house at your company.
Simplicity is out, craziness is in:
To compare the above (badass) redesign to your recently announced, boring one, see enclosed the standard boxart below:
