To be fair to Amano though, you really couldn't do his artwork completely for the characters in the 2D game due to technology limitations. Though his monster designs were pretty faithful, even going back to FFI, the Four Fiends and Chaos are pretty gorgeous even as enemy sprites.

Though they really don't have an argument for that now. I would be really interested to see them transcribe his art into a game with little corner cutting. I mean the FMVs for FFV and VI on the Anthology set were pretty breathtaking.
