Wouldn't it be cool if Amano did the next Final Fantasy's art direction?

I'd really want to see more of his work in this generation.

 

Here's an illustration of FFXIII characters from Amano

I would have far prefer FFXIII like that

But you  think that a appropiate Cell-Shading can replicate this artwork in graphics of the game?

This picture may be cool, but IMO it's only a picture, and the dark and deformed style would not fit the game very well. And more importanly, how is possible to make a game like this? CGI is very different from hand-drawn.

Amano's style worked in the past because we were supossed to use our imagination to believe that their shit 2d icons are people.

FFXIII began development as a cell shaded game on PS2
