Pathfinder 2E Paizo Shares Color Covers Of Pathfinder Remaster

At Paizocon today, Paizo revealed the final color covers of two of the upcoming remastered core rulebooks.

What is the big difference between this and the older version and is this better than the other, just wondering.

I have disliked nearly all of Paizo's covers for their second edition. I greatly prefer these to their 2e Core Rulebook, though. Thank God, they're getting rid of the brown on brown spines. So ugly.

They talked about that in a blog post last month.

They're incorporating errata and reorganizing the books somewhat. It's also incorporating ORC licensing.

The player core cover is great, I'm not knocked out by the GM core cover.

I prefer the GM Core cover for some reason. Maybe because it's a little different than the same reddish dragon on a crumbling staircase we've been seeing for 15 years.

These are filled with seeds, or possibly iron and magma.

I was just thinking the same thing. The colour choices on the GM core are very nice.

True, does have a "seen before" feel. The GM one just looks a bit boring in comparison.

I prefer these covers and will be happy to fork out for them, seeing as I only got the un-remastered originals in PDF.

 

[Jolly Ruby]

The colours in these covers looks better than previous covers, I feel the muddied tones from 1e and original 2e didn't stand the test of time. By the way, the Wayne Reynolds' style that I always liked is sleek in these covers, I love it.

Green & white is an improvement but who is the axe wielding lizardman on the cover of players core 1?

 

[fluffybunbunkittens]

The GM book's color scheme really is pleasant and relaxing.

I hope they explain that everyone but the rogue bunching up in front of a red dragon is not-great tactics.

That would be a player favorite I call cone formation.

I actually loathe that "red dragon" head. The horns look weird to me, and I am not thrilled by how its mouth opens either. Most of the other things about it, other than maybe Harsk's face, look good though.

Agreed. The original 2nd ed cover had very odd drawings for the dwarf ranger and elf rogue as well.

Apparently it's a non OGL dragon - "diabolical" I think they call it.

Ah yes, I forgot PF2 is remaking their dragons to shed that element of the OGL. The classic chromatic and metallics are being replaced with two each for each of the four source of magic (arcane, divine, occult, and primal) for a total of eight new dragons. (This is assuming I read this somewhere and didn’t just dream it.)

No indication on the trade dress that these are different versions than og 2nd ed?
