Are you asking why Amano draws everyone looking andro or why they would re-do his art?
huehuehuehuehuehuehue
Nomura > Amano. Just sayian.
Always hated that. This version much better
>>3325518
get out
>>3325527
A lot better than any other version. OPs pic straight up has boobs.
>>3325518
Generic. *yawn*

>have a massive adolescent crush on Cecil
>they give him this weird lipstick in the current depictions
>kinda ruining him in the process
why
>>3325508
Amano is better when he really tries, but often he doesn't. Nomura can be really good as well, but when he goes overboard with the belts and zippers his designs look stupid.

>Amano is better when he really tries
This. He is fantastic at conveying this feeling of fantasy and dreams. Just look at picrelated or cover of FF6.
>>3327194
Exactly. When he's good, he's amazing...
>>3327212
...but other times he just poops something out in 5 minutes and it really shows.

Creating atmosphere, theme and mood, world and location designs.
But Square just says "whip us a game logo and some character designs", and he kind of sucks with the latter, let's admit it.
>>3327247
I was actually going to mention this and agree. I think Amano is a better actual artist, but Nomura is a better game artist. His designs translate better into games than Amano's do, and like in FFIX especially his designs and the actual characters look almost nothing alike.
But I the few times when they do actually base the in game graphics heavily on his work the results were amazing. At least I still think VI and it's art is pretty amazing.
I dream that with the processing power we have now we might someday get a game that's an Okami style 3D that looks like an Amano painting in motion.

I just wished he stopped putting lipstick on everybody, everything looks better without it.
>Amano
Classic fantasy like
>Yoshida
Fairy tale like
>Nomura
Anime like

Nomura=awful
Final Fantasy art general ?
>>3327292
>>3327296
Perfect.
>>3326236
R u gay?
There is pretty good evidence Japs like dashing good looks for their guy characters. Or even overly feminine dudes. Probably what they wish they themselves looked like?
>>3324765
god amano's drawings really don't fit, especially in FFV where most of the game's lighthearted
>>3325508
Fuck off.
Commencing Amano dump.
>>3328316
I think the only game that fit his artstyle was FFVI desu
Ending Amano dump.
Amano can do some nice "normal" faces when he wants to.
>>3326236
>always imagine Cecil as some cool purple haired guy with a yellow cape
>suddenly he's white haired and everything is he wears is blue/white
>the fighting gives him a spear when they coulda given him an Axe if they wanted him to use a non-sword weapon as he can actually equip those
Its not a bad design, but holy shit that was weird to get used to
They sometimes acknowledge his ingame colors which is cool.
>>3329776
same with bartz
his sprite has a blue tunic and green boots with brown anime hair completely different from his concept design
>>3329789
bartz just looks like Firion on the left
Speaking of him, I don't mind his newer design. He used to be a Warrior sprite edit but now he has a cool bandana.
>>3329789
as weird as this sounds, FFV really needed a more generic anime style for the art, the amano art is just too weird for that game
>>3327194
if only square enix makes a final fantasy game and the graphics is based on the artworks of amano.
>>3329506
hugely appreciated the dump
