Turned out nice, but you should DEFINITELY make the presentation 3D. It makes the box a lot more appealing.

I think this design would look great as a GOTY edition, with the DLC in those bars, but this looks cool as well.

I like the general layout, but on a technical level I think a bit of fine tuning is needed for this to reach it's fullest potential. You have a variety of ideas in place, but at the moment they don't flow together to form a cohesive design. Some consistency is needed.

Stylistically speaking, the FFXIII games are, in a word, sleek. The color scheme should reflect that. Vibrancy is fine of course, but there should be a consistency to it. At the moment, the color scheme is a bit all over the place. With the upper half primarily red, the character borders stroked in blue, the colored gradients, and multi-colored drop shadows respective to each character, it's something akin to what I'd expect from the quirky Persona 4.

A few other suggestions that stem more from personal opinion than anything: 1) Maybe try centering Noel and Serah, with the character borders stretching from the left to right edges? 2) Maybe use a logo without Amano's illustrations, to lessen the crowd of imagery and increase the cleanliness of the design?

Just rambling off a couple of ideas, really. The coloring and stylistic inconsistency is the only thing I think should be addressed.

As for the back, I'm fine with the emphasis on text and feature listing. Very "Game of the Year"-like. There are only two issues that stick out to me: 1) Again, the coloring could be toned back. The rainbow tagline, specifically. 2) I'd try cleaning up the feature listing in the lower half. A larger space between the item and it's description, for example.

Hopefully these suggestions help. I'd only like to see this design grow and develop further.
