Nothing's as bad as when they go full 3D with it.

>Amano to in-game portraits
You know this has been a thing since like, 1988 right?

Will we ever get a game that brings Amano's work to life?

I don't think so. His use of color and pose is really top notch but there are so many things that just don't translate to in-game assets

he did Front Mission 1 and the directly ripped portraits ended up looking like this

At this point we easily could even in 3d, they even have the shaders already. But Square are lazy fucks

No, he's super autistic about doing things traditionally.

You're a bad person who hurts good people is why

>>389552959
I don't want a game made by Amano, I want a LN to get a full Amano art compliment. Just a FFIV novelization with periodic scenes drawn by Amano. That would be good enough.

I wish developers under the namco had a shot at the art to 3D. They constantly improve these stylistic effects.
