Thread: Amano Art FMVs

  1. #1

    Default Amano Art FMVs

    So, in Dissidia, some DLC mod is supposed to let you play as white-haired Tifa. But I wonder, with how much altered footage there is out there on Youtube alone particularly of video games, has anyone ever tried altering the FMVs to make the characters look different? In particular, have they ever made the characters true to Amano's original versions? I'd truly like to see how Tifa's white hair would translate to the FMVs.

    I don't think I have seen any fan projects like that. How different do you think the characters in Final Fantasy VII would look if Amano had designed them rather than Nomura?
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Amano did his own version of FFVII characters. Can't remember if he did it for fun, or if Nomura decided to base his designs off of Amano's work.

    Amano did them after Nomura created most of the basic designs, though Sephiroth is apparently a collaboration between Amano and Nomura, which is not surprising since Sephy bares more than a little resemblance to Amano's version of Faris and Setzer.

    It would be interesting to see though Amano's versions of the VII crew isn't all that drastic from the original designs, mostly new accessories or minor changes like Tifa's white hair. His VIII designs are far more striking than Nomura's, or his IX designs compared to the other three character designers in IX.

    I don't think that matters much because Amano is not desginer for most part. He is simply an "image illustrator" for the games, which means that at some point they will be using some art he did either in the game, or as promotional pieces, or as cover art and logos.

    Yeah, I was having a hard time locating such a thing as well. Hence the question. I realize the characters wouldn't look very different and it wouldn't affect their personalities, I just have to wonder sometimes. I especially would like to see some FMV (even non-canon) of Amano's version of Tifa or Vincent.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
