I'd just like to add that a lot of CG artists have an extensive history in fine arts. I think it's quite ignorant to believe and preach that just because one guy still studies and practices a physical form of art, that he does not appreciate computer graphics.They both come hand in hand in the industry.
I doubt you actually know Amano personally to be able to tell us that he "doesn't give a smurgs arse about CGI".
By the way, I love Amano. But the reason I said Nomura, was because he had directed a few games, where as Amano just stuck with character designs.
