Why no IX characters?

[DJZen]

I'll take the same approach to this that I've always taken with game sequels, we'll wait and see. Meanwhile, yeah, Amano DID do some drawrings of Nomura's characters, and as much as I like Amano and his work, I just thought they looked terrible. It was like he was rushed or not at all interested in the project. One thing's for sure though, Moogles ARE an Amano creation, and the character design for the Disney characters was DEFINITELY not by Nomura, unless you count the designs for Donald and Goofy. These are an example of how Characters can be adapted to fit a particular character designer's style. And btw, check out your game credits more, 'cause there's often several different designers for a game's characters. Usually, you'll find credits for Character Design, Enemy Design, Boss Design and Object Design. Now, it's possible that the original concepts were designed by someone different, but when you go to make the game, you have to turn a 2D illustration into a sprite or a 3D model. I honestly doubt Nomura or Amano have ever done this, but if they have I'll gladly retract that statement.

Sure, moogles are an Amano creation, but even so, they're in nearly every Final Fantasy, and they just had to have them in there. I'm talking about Zidane, Terra, Cecil, and such. It's not going to happen for the next game. I'd stake my life on it. And like I said Tetsuya Nomura is DIRECTING it. It's his vision so I don't think he'll be using any Amano characters other than moogles and possibly chocobos.

actually as far as i know no one from ffix has ever been on a spin off game anyway, but it goes without saying i woulda liked to have seen zidane and kuja in it
btw, the kh versions of many of the chars look different from there original styles so does that really come into it?

Because IX characters are not normally built. They're 'SD', big-headed and small-bodied. VII, VIII, and X had characters built to normal scale, hence where the design issue comes in. They changed the designs and art style slightly, made some characters younger, but they didnt change their dimensions.

its because they're going to be in khII...i should know...i gave them the idea...my father works with squaresoft...but i still think its sad that he made me get married at 13...*sigh*

[eternalshiva]

really? that sucks :/ at 13? that sounds almost illegal but you live in Japan so the rules are probably different xD

What Characters are they using? do you know?

[MateriaBladeVII]

Oh geez, "wussybehemoth" (lol- I keep wanting to call you eternalshiva. why the hell did you change it?)- you actually believe this guy? lol. Even if his dad did work with Squaresoft, do you really think they'd reveal the information to all of its employees? And even if he was one of the few employees to know the facts, do you think he'd really tell his son? I mean, revealing these facts without the permission of the head of the project could lose a guy his job. I doubt he's telling the truth. He's bluffing to get attention.

Crazy Canadians... *dies* j/p- lol.

xD I changed it for the Gender Swap Day thing xD I got to act like an over testosteron-like guy and scream LESBIANS ARE HOT all day :P now I have to wait to get my name back.

xD I gave her/him the benefit of the doubt :\ Whether it is true or not, well we'll find out evantually!

wussybehemoth is a funny name! xD

EDIT: see it just got changed! *huggles crono*
