near the bottom of this page is the FF7 concept art. Look at the ones labeld "Amano sketch". They show how a few characters would have looked if the character designer for the other 6 ffs had been on ff7 instead of nomura.

Actually, Amano is the one who does the concept sketches for Nomura the way I have understood this. Amano has also made concept sketches for games further than FFVII. His FFX ones are beautiful, and if you notice on the FFX logo, Amano's concept Yuna is on there as well. I don't think Amano was ever the soul artist for FF. He just does the concept sketches.

Yes, i knew he did the logos and a few things in FFX, but FFVII clearly has a much more anime style to the concept art, save those few

yes i think you would know lady aerith, what with all the sketching you have done... especially since they are quite good, so i guess this is a compliment as well as a reply

Exactly. Took those damn words outta my mouth. 'Cept make mine a thousand times complementary. (And as for you as well, seeing is how you mean it, right, Fantasy X?)

Save those SOOOOO hard, people, and make 10 copies of each drawing.

(Maybe I'm over-exciting the quality of the Amano sketches, but I'll be damned if I go lower than 1000 for Lady Aerith.)
