Interesting (Destiny)

I can see both sides, and I initially came to the same conclusion you did about it being the player's story and not needing an iconic face.
But I can't deny that seeing the front of the characters was way more appealing, plus it added the armor as a visual element I immediately wanted to know more about. I think that the colors are a bit brighter, which was one of my gripes, also helped.
Yeah, I won't argue that the colors would certainly pop a bit more without the big gray cloak and the armor is certainly nice to look at. I think the point, though, is that Destiny is about looking however you want to look and not how the character on the box implies you should look. Or something... That, and it's about looking forward, beyond Day 1; even the name "Destiny" conveys that message, so it's obviously important.
