Amano vs Nomura vs Yoshida
Amano and Nomura have been the two longest lasting and most recognizable character designers for the Final Fantasy series. Yoshida is the main character artist for Ivalice one of the biggest sub series in the franchise.
So who do you think was the best character designer for the series and don't forget to explain why, its always interesting to see how other people feel.
Crap I messed up Amano's name on the poll, and I can't figure out how to fix it

Ahhh, I guess I'll go old school with Amano. Scratch that, Namura did VII, I'll go with him. =p
>>> I dont know who is the best, but I know who is the most important for the series and that is Amano.

I really liked all of them tbh.
Amano, then Yoshida.
I've never been able to stand Nomura to be honest.
"This character looks kind of boring...what to do...ehh, let's give him a really girly top and cute little jacket...or should I go with the zip-up jumpsuit this time..? maybe slice up his pants a bit...and...and...belts! More belts! MOARRRR BELTS!!! There, now he looks just faaaabulous!"
Yeah.

Nomura is too generic for me.
Amano definitely has the most original style of the lot of them if you ask me, and the one I enjoy the most. Yoshida is awesome as well though.
Amano! He has the most original stile. Yoshida is a very good artist, while Nomura's sketches are somehow trite.

Nothing beats Amano's classic character designs.
Really? I'd say he has the least generic character designs out of the three. At least back when he first started designing characters. Now his style is copied quite a bit so it has lost a lot of its identity. All that said, I think Nomura's designs are bad for the most part with the odd exception here and there.
I won't deny that Nooj is the ugliest thing ever to exist ever.
He's always had a pretty generic anime styling if you ask me. Now he's not only got the typical anime styling, but his designs are even highly derivative of his prior work now. So yeah, I'd say they're generic in that sense.Really? I'd say he has the least generic character designs out of the three. At least back when he first started designing characters.

Who designed Zidane,, NEVER had anything to do with Nooj and remembers that people typically have noses? That's the guy what won it for me.
plus he's cool enough to have his name censored. Yoaka haha.
>>> hehe, looks like some fans are giving their backs to Nomura these days, Im not going to defend Nomura but I have lot of respect for his work in the ff series, if im not wrong every ff/ff related game he has worked on as a character designer are the best selling ones, coincidence? I dont think so..
>> The black orb glitters ominously... but nothing happens..
They're all cool, but Amano is my favorite.
Amano. mainly because he's actually an artist, a painter, not just a character designer... Yoshida comes close, some of his arts for FFXII were simply amazing.
I'm gonna go with the crowd here
