Sakaguchi or Nomura?

[Rostum]

First of all, Amano has formed his own studio, and mainly works freelance for various anime and video game studios, while publishing graphic storybooks.

What difference does it make that he owns his own study and does freelance work? That wasn't the point of what I had said.

The man does quite fine without relying on CGI. I don't know him personally, but I do know a good deal of his history to know that video games have never really been his sole field, mainly a field he has dabbled in.

I never said he didn't do well without CG, just that he could very well appreciate it (there's more to CG than just video games and films, mind you). Also, a lot of anime is starting to be created with CG in mind.

The one time his art got turned into CGI, well as much as I love FFIX, I have to say that the in game and FMV character designs just did not do the line art justice.

Didn't he do a lot of other art for other Final Fantasy's too? Either way, just because it didn't turn out the way he liked it for one game, doesn't mean he "doesn't give a smurfs arse about CGI".

Hence why he's never really submitted his designs for another 3D make over

But he works for video game companies, like you said, right? :rolleyes2

Basically, take what you will of that, but I'm not going to argue it anymore. I'd rather get the thread back on track.
