While I did enjoy the original cover, the Azure Rathalos looks REALLY nice. I feel the change was to appeal to more people unfamilar with Monster Hunter by showing off a full body shot of the armor and weapon along with a more familar monster type design (I swear I'm going to have to correct alot of people that Rathalos is not a Dragon).
