    Oh. . . . ummm . . . That too. Actually, I've noticed quite a bit in newer games (as far as VII and VIII go, maybe even the newer ones) as a take-off of things from FFVI.

    That's because FFVI is the best. :chef:

    I think the WEAPONS kinda had the similarities in design since FF VII







    They both have a "secondary" bodies....

    No it's not. I mean, it didn’t even have a Deus Ex Machina “Where the f@#$ did you come from?!” Final boss Battle!

    We know where FF 7 and FF 10 WEAPONS came from. As for FF VIII, I did make some..ahhh...deductions. Feel free to read it for references.


    Plot Theories.

    For your own sake, I advise you to immediately pick up a copy of FFVIII.
    That's what Kishi says and he got me quite convinced. Altough I think Edea also looks a lot like this Amano illustration.

    Please never come to the idea to play this or you'll have a horrible FF-experience! Stay to good ol VI

    I laughed hysterically at this to be honest.

    Anyway, on topic. This wouldn't be the first time FF monsters have had similarities across different games.

    As for a statement earlier by KoShiatar talking about Nomura and others borrowing from Amano's designs, I could have sworn he didn't design the monsters in FF6, and was just the character designer. The best I can find is the credits listing the monster graphic designer as one Hitoshi Sasaki. If I'm wrong someone feel free to correct me.

    Yeah, but I think Sasaki was the one who turned the monster designs into actual sprites or re-designed them so they could be turned more easily into CG. Some monsters are just too definitely Amano-esque. Think about the Goddesses for instance, or Ultros, or most bosses.

    Could simply mean they were made to be Amono-esque, or he could have perhaps done some of the designs. I believe there is an Amano picture of Ultros in the old SNES instruction manual come to think of it. I could just swear I read that someone else did the monster designs somewhere, but if I did it was a long time ago. It's always possible I'm thinking of another game in the series too. A lot of monsters just don't remind me of his art style at all though. It's always possible someone else did a lot of the random enemies and he mainly worked on bosses and characters.

    Meh, it's not a big deal either way; just my usual nitpicking self.

    So... did everyone just completely forget that Ultima Weapon is actually IN FFVI?
