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.
>>> Nomura did some traditional fantasy designs with Dissidia, but yeah Amano is better..:luca:
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.
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.
