box art question (Suikoden I)

when printing out the covers, what should the dimensions be? Like what sizes should I put before printing out the pictures?

hmm from the looks of them i would say print them as a 812x544 pixels,the same dimensions as the s2 cover.that looks to be the same size as the ps2 covers.

what is 812x544 pixels in the sense of inches/cm/mm? Cause thats all that the printer seems to be able to handle.

width:11.278 inches
height:7.556 inches

Thank you sooooo much!

EDIT: It does not seem to want to go to those dimensions. I tried to change it to that but it automatically changes it to be 8.5x7

Oppenheimer: Does anyone know what all those Chinese (or Japanese?) characters are on the back of the box?

Well the chinese symbols on the back of the box are the kanji for Gensosuikoden written from top to bottom in the tradtional japanese writing style.

Also there are so many kanji as they have just repeated it like, SUIKODENSUIKODENSUIKODEN, that is the closest way of putting it into english.

Ps, sorry if someone already cleared this up,

I agree with all that suikoden one has the worst box art. Almost looks like a really bad SNES box art of a very non popular RPG. In fact it was suikodens box cover that almost made me pass up the whole suikoden series all together thank god i bought it when i did -.-.

Give them some slack, it was '95. What did you espect? A Final Fantasy 10 cover..... And they were just trying to give people the whole "aincent chinease lore" effect.

RPG's havent always been notorious for their box art, like they are now.

Most people(who play RPG's) can tell if its a good game anyway, by just seeing it

Ya that is true. but i always look at the front of a game before i buy it then the back. Its just some habbit i have probably passed up some good games for all i know. If you want to know the honest truth to me it looks like a really bad rated "R" movie box -.-. And i do understand back then they didnt have that many good rpg box arts i agree but using real looking humans just doesnt cut it with me lol.

The problem is, the cover artwork used for JP and PAL releases were perfectly naturally Suikoden. The game being published in '95 isn't a good enough excuse for the abomination that is NA version of the cover artwork, for me.

yah

I do that too....I read every inch of the game for about.....5 minutes,then I buy it(which most people should do)

I just feel sorry for those that bought Dark Cloud....BAD GAME GOOD ART

I thought it looked cool.... And plus, most old school RPG's had real looking people for fictional characters, on the box art.
