I still can't get what's up with this guy; he's so vague, comes up with extremely odd character names, and loves to break original Final Fantasy traditions.
"You're so vague, you probably think this song's not about you; you're so vague, you probably think this song's not about you, don't you, don't you, don't you now?"

Oh god, I was talking to a non-RPG gamer once and said I was a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, and the first thing thing he said was, "What's with all the belts?"

If we didn't break traditions now and then we'd still be having children with our cousins.

I like Nomura because I like fashion. =/
Okay, I like things non-nerdy people like. IS THAT SO WRONG? :'(

Just because we don't agree with what he's done doesn't mean it wasn't worth a shot

I quite like the character design in recent games, I have to say. X was possibly the closest I got to "what?" with the character design (not that I didn't like it, just that I found some of them really weird - specifically, Tidus' pants), but I liked it in VII, VIII, haven't played IX yet, liked it in XII and liked it in XIII. I guess it's not a big issue for me, mind you. :p

Nomura didn't do character designs for IX or XII. I'm growing tired of him myself.

They renamed him Bartz internationally, but Nomura's names are even weirder.
And he's always very mysterious. He should AT LEAST give us HALF the answer to give us a starting foundation for our fan-made theories...

I like the artistic style that Nomura uses over the artistic style that Amano uses.
I thought that the character designs that he have done as of late have been lacking, but I really liked the character designs in Final Fantasy XIII, so I guess this can go either way. I think that a lot of the character designs vary greatly depending on the setting and the environment that the game takes place in.

I think it depends on the setting.
Traditional fantasy, let Amano do it.
Sci-Fi, Nomura's your man.

That's right; Nomura's the oddball in the group because his Final Fantasy games are sci-fi, whereas Amano, Yoshida, Itahana, and everybody else are medieval-style fantasies.
>>> Nomura did some traditional fantasy designs with Dissidia, but yeah Amano is better..:luca:
That's because he was told to draw the characters in an Amano-like style. But seeing medieval-dressed Amano-created characters alongside modern/sci-fi-dressed Nomura-created characters at first seemed rather weird.

I don't really know much at all about the people behind the Square Enix games, but this Normura names come up a lot, and he seems to get a lot of hate.
The characters in Final Fantasy XIII looked fine, except for maybe Hope. Fang, Serah, Vanille, and, to a lesser extent, Lightning, were good looking. All of them seem to have weird clothing choices, though.
And I can definitely tell that someone else worked on the characters for XII. They look a lot different from XIII and X.

The characters in XII were designed by Akihiko Yoshida.
