If you look at the art designs of older Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games they don't look too different from that of the Anime of the time. Though I guess they became more dependent on Anime as technology progressed enabling video games to have cut scenes and such. Today, I would say it is based on the game and the developer. There are tons of DS rpgs that are like Anime but in game form, while there are tons that focus on gameplay. It seems like all genres are going toward this dependence on other forms of media. |
Older FF's art doesn't look so much like anime.
Especially the first one who are Yoshitaka amano:
Looks like Berserk though but that manga is known for his Western look.
Anyway a lot of Manga/anime artists are also working in the game world.
For an example Akira Toriyama.
