TH12 Cover Art: Any Ideas?
« on: August 13, 2009, 02:30:38 AM »


So ZUN has updated the site with this shot. It'd help to know what he says.

Though for some reason this looks somewhat familiar. Just me?

Doesn't look like Yumemi

Knowing ZUN, she's probably the final boss, whoever she is. Also, is that a scroll she's holding?

It'll be like the previous cover art. Everyone thought it was Mima at first, until she got owned.

It'll probably be the same for Yumemi.

This one looks like it has legs. Zun seems to be focusing on them in UFO.

Nah, the average skirt-length is just shorter, I think.

You know what? I'm not even going to say it, because I know what I'm going to say and it'll get my hopes up only to have them blown out the fucking window. So I'll just say the final boss is...

Sure, but if another one comes in, then I could respect her.

I wonder if she's going to throw that Rune Sword and make an annoying path just like Elly. And write "verboten" in the air.

By the way, looks like another girl will join the hatless group of poor people.

looking at UFO's HUD, these themes are visible: clouds, dodecahedron, lotus, red cross; I can't try to guess who the new character is, without having any idea of what artifacts are she wielding.

Following the pattern of MoF and SA, the character is probably a final stage boss..
neku: now for something important.
Translations.
How much time do you guys think it will take for HM to be translated? Besides everyone's story modes and the whole menus, there's also the fact that the way HM's programmed is different from all other games. I bet it'll take two months.

lusvik: I don't mind about playing HM in japanese. The language of punching other people is international.

the runes over her head could possibly well just be alien-style scribbles like stuff you see in fields etc, which would fit the UFO theme

honestly i think anyone who hopes for pc98 bosses are desesperate and shouldnt hope for much.. ever : P

She writes runes in the air.

Should've known; the way those signs appear at that angle makes me think of a scroll for some reason.

And, she's only, what? one of the (approximately) four 'new' characters? Then there's still chance

... Screw it, I'm giving up

IT'S MIMA OMG.

Also, if it's the final boss, scratch Yumemi off the list for a number of reasons.

Most likely to be Ichirin's sister.

Realize that the thing resembling an arm with the glyphs is far too short and high up to be from the left side.
Actually, it's too disfigured to be an arm at all.

Which is why I never do~

Yeah it's probably Ichirin's sister or whatever, now that I think of it, that's the most obvious choice there is at the moment.

The first thing that came to mind is that the game's spine might match SA's and thus look good sitting next to it on the shelf.

As for the cover, the girl's outline is pretty unremarkable, especially when compared to Utsuho's on SA's cover, but it does sort of look like she's wearing a Yumemi-style cape. Meh..

I also think that the dark blue cloud in the upper-left looks like a UFO.

This cover just might become my 2nd favorite cover. EosD being the first.
I'm a sucker for bright things I guess.

Unless Yumemi got a big outfit change (which wouldn't be unlikely considering how both Alice and Yuka's outfits changed), that's not Yumemi; both the cape and the skirt are too short for her. Also, there's so many reasons that logically can't be Yumemi if that's the final boss I don't even know where to begin. Still, I wouldn't say no~

Well, I suppose we'll find out who she is soon enough...

There is a chance that it's not Yumemi, I know, but... I can always dream~
