I also don't like the expressions she poses in some of the screens, too dramatic for my tastes.

And as for this game... well,

Guess FFX-2 is a no no for you then?

IGN's Description

Baten Kaitos
Developer: Monolith Soft / Namco
Publisher: Namco
Release Date: TBA 2003 US / December Japan
Exclusive: Yes
Baten Kaitos is a traditional RPG developed by Monolith Soft. The game takes players to an original planet in which entire countries float atop clouds and humans have magical wings. Gamers assume the role of an orphan named Karasu, who has only one wing, as he embarks upon an epic quest to find his lost family. Along the way, the character will meet friends and foes, do battle with a massive military, and advance. The title, which features traditional turn-based battles, pre-rendered 2D graphics and 3D characters, will sift players through large, cloud-themed worlds and will also boast some Middle Eastern art inspirations.

In the poster Karasu is the focus character too. In the magazine spread they merely had a little bio on Shela and that funky frog creature Miimai of hers. From the scan you can see Karasu got cut off a bit. His little bio thing is partially there but most of his body isn't. That's why BreakABone only has info on just Shela and Miimai, making Shela appear as the main character. I'm a regular Sherlock Holmes...
