ok, i have some few suggestions for you. ;)
1- Cloud on the front looks like fan-art. fan art is a big no, unless it looks really similar to the original.
2-Cloud is touching the FF7 logo, distracting the attention from both the logo and cloud, making the box look a bit fuller than it is.
3-the reflection is really big, try going into gradient mask, than just make a line with the gradient tool, switch back to normal mode, and delete..
4-lower the opacity of the reflection. it's too visible.
5-stick to a color scheme, you've picked white on the front, and black for the back,whereas both white or both black would look better.

You have some nice skills, keep it up.

it's hard to keep a black box simple...
may i suggest adding a background on the front?

not bad. not bad at all. toning down the outer glow would make this look better. sony logo seems squished. otherwise...very nice for a first :)

The back is nice, but the front is too plain.

Wow Silva Graphix! This is great! The back is fine, but I'm not so sure about the front. It's a bit too plain for my tastes. Maybe if you added a background, it would look less bland. Good box, especially for a first. Welcome to the site. 4/5
