That's not actually the cover on any version of the game, just a flyer. Don't know what you don't like about it though, it's beautiful artwork but not really fit for a square canvas.

How is it not good? Cover art is here to introduce the game before you play it. If a character plays a big role in it there's nothing wrong about putting him in the spotlight.

A lot of the best covers are relegated for OSTs since they're not gimped for mass-market appeal

Vahn is a an extreme case of vanilla protagonist. Heard a rumor he wasnt even supposed to be in the game originally

We get it that you are trying to edgy or whatever but the japs did have some very impressive artwork around 1980s-1990s

He wasn't. He was a focus tested character put into the game to relate to most players based on their results from focus testing. (Or something like that, I don't remember the exact details).

I find VIII to be the worst. At least everyone in IV served some sort of purpose in the character development. VIII had our main lovers, Zell who actually got a bit more of a spine, and the other three who were the exact same character from start to finish.

See, I see no issue with Vaan because he works in a 'point of view' type concept. We learn about hatred towards Basch through Vaan. We learn about how helpless the political world feels through someone as impoverished as Vaan.

And Vaan serves as part of the group's dynamic:
-Two lower class citizens suffering from stomps of higher politics.
-Two high class political figures suffering from the corruption of new politics.
-Two almost completely free spirits dragging themselves down to help the other four.

Yeah, but the characters are more basic than 4, and it being earlier in the series doesn't excuse it when deciding which is objectively better.

It's an aesthetic thing. I'm struggling to think of a franchise that could get away with just "it's the logo" without being written off as pretentious.

Also, I fucking miss playing a long RPG and getting to the point where you have to swap discs.

Zoomers will never know that feel

I feel you on disc switching, it always felt like you had reached a major milestone.
Anyway, I think that you can get away with enigmatic covers as long as you have gameplay screenshots on the back to show people what the game actually is.
Having just a logo, for me at least, draws me in. It makes me think that there is a mystery to be solved, or at least a narrative that can't be condensed to a single image.
It makes me think that there will actually be some depth and artistry to the game.
