The hate for Nomura is amazing, seen it here and no Neogaf as well. Mind telling me what he has done so wrong? I am seriously confused on this one, is it the gender confused characters he makes?


It`s mostly for his character designs. Amano, as we all know, rules.

Amano...? FF IX Amano or am I wrong..?

 

That`s the one.

I'm more of a Nomura fan, to be honest. FF IX character designs were pretty average, but the envirioments were superb.

I'm sorry. You brought this on yourself.

More seriously, though, Amano has done at least preliminary character designs for most Final Fantasy games up through 9 (yes, including 7, and I liked his Sephiroth a lot more). Difference between him and Nomura is that Nomura's style is more like a mangaka and Amano is something more akin to a master painter.

Do you have an image of Amano's Sephiroth? I'm interested. Though I prefer Nomura to Amano, Nomura's style suits me better. I love a lot of his character designs: Vincent, Reno, Auron, Sora, Neku, Joshua, etc.
