Firstly, there is no wrong way to think. Secondly, look at the cover again. The person is facing AWAY. You can tell by the legs and how one is bent. Lastly, no armor pieces in the game look like the ones seen on the cover. The hotly debated Elite Knight set doesn't have the fringe of cloth over the shoulders nor the waist. No armor save for Artorias' does. And the shield has grooves, not decorations like the Balder, nor is it as tapered. There are also portions of the shield missing, like they would be on the Greatshield of Artorias. Yes, it looks significantly smaller, but Artie is significantly larger than you. As for the light, meaning it couldn't possibly be him ENTERING the Abyss, what about EXITING?

Yes, it's unlikely to be him and there are signs that show it may not be him, but there's many pointing towards it being him. There has been no proof that it's him, but there is no proof that it is not. That's the beauty of Dark Souls, the whole game is so vague that everyone can interpret it differently. And it just so happens a large portion of the community, perhaps even the majority, believes that the figure on the PAL cover is Artorias. Until such time as I am proven to be wrong, do not tell me I am 'thinking wrong'.

I await your rebuttal, should you have one.
