I haven't seen those, but I vaguely remember seeing FFVII's Amano art, and the characters looked like nothing they are in the game. I also like Amano's art, it's just that sometimes (like in these FFV pics) the characters look so much different in the game compared to his artwork. FFIV characters were quite recognisable for me, though, and so were FFVI characters.
