Or maybe they're definively going after that fujoshi audience and things get weird between the bros

I really like the new cover. Better than any recent Final Fantasy cover since Final Fantasy X. Such beautiful lore implications, such grand feelings of hope and despair. I'm also glad they allowed us the option of having the Amano artwork instead.
This (however I chose to learn its story), Brotherhood, and I'll even have Kingsglaive on DVD among my shelves. XV's gonna be great, I can feel it!

I'm gonna use this as an example. The link in question, not the poster, so please take no offense.
This is basically everything wrong with this fanbase and internet "journalism" all rolled into one. First, it should be known that the poster that came up with this clickbait title (in GFaqs) is also the same guy that thought there was an Active, Wait and Default mode, jumped to the conclusion that active meant that you have to tap instead of hold and presented this theory as fact, causing a shitstorm of misinformation that I'm still correcting on occasion. So it should come as no surprise that the title is a bit misleading. They mention the MS demo, they say it wasn't a very good demonstration but that they hope the game is ok anyway, all buried in there like a footnote. That's all there is to it.
Second, they link to GameSpot, which is fine enough for anyone looking for video game anticipation-porn, which is to say, pretty pretty pictures of something you're looking forward to, but they are at the core a clickbait-driven organization. They know FF fans are oversensitive to this crap, so they mention it, some fan takes it too seriously and in spreading their intended outrage, they link back to the article. It's pure and simple clickbait. That is ALL this is.
Like I've said a thousand times, the only people that give a shit about the MS demo know damn well that there's nothing to see there. And any mention of it by the media will do nothing more than hype that up even more. They're taking advantage of that over-sensitivity to get clicks. They will do this about anything the fans get riled up about. Because controversy is clicks is money.

The post you quoted for one 
They all are to some degree. All of the gamin-related websites are by their nature tabloids, not new organizations. It doesn't mean there isn't good information in there if you're good at sifting through the bullshit, but all of them are there to get clicks. If any one of them is bringing up a controversial point, you can bet that's why.

Western (final) box art: https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/286810/final-fantasy-xv-day-one-edition-ps4
To me it's also far better than any placeholder box art that was previously shown.
