They don't really display what is unique about the Sword Coast outside of the HUMANOID FR species and the background is so generic it could be anywhere. It's just 4 people "aurafarming".To compare with PaThFiNdEr:[ATTACH=full]412305[/ATTACH]Tian Xia Character Guide highlights East Asian (in this case Japanese) Architecture, suggests a place of tradition filled with colorful beings and species. Fun.[ATTACH=full]412306[/ATTACH]The "default" Character Guide highlights capable, yet not overpowered looking heroes (Typical Edgelord Martial maybe Cleric, Caster, Non-Human with a chainsaw blade) braving the Wilds of Golarion. Danger and Peril is suggested by the wild terrain and huge ass naughty word Monster they're fighting. The monster evokes Grimm-dark eurofantasy but the Lizard man suggests that the setting is also open to stranger things. Which yeah, is Golarion.So all in all, I don't like the new covers because I think it lacks content and communication of concepts and they could have done a lot better. The Sword Coast is a perilous place with a lot of named locations and iconic monsters so 4 heroes standing around in a group shot just feels lackluster.Maybe show an enraged Owlbear or a Tarrasque in the distance godzilla-ing Baldur's Gate? Something to connect the characters to the world. Hope they do a lot better with the Alt Cover.</blockquote>
