This seems like a pretty cool idea, op. I'll contribute some later after I'm done fappan

Call me crazy but I think that concept art is communicated effectively in the final game. Lizalfos were pretty scary when I was a kid.

>>3853387
"He needs long white hair"
"*opens up MS paint*"

>>3853460
I see no difference

>>3853387
Except that's not concept art.

>>3853357

Im not going to call you crazy. Why would I when pussy works so much better.

>>3853387
The right is an improvement. He doesn't look like a faggot.

>>3853387
I thought the guy was a bunny first time playing it

>>3853460
Isn't that promotional art? That is a bit different.

>>3853497
The artwork is pretty condensed but all things considered it's pretty loyal to the end result.

>>3853894
But >>3853497 isn't right. The concept art posted is very clearly Ark reviving the continent of Eurasia atop one of the towers. You can see the Italian peninsula and Britain quite clearly in the red continent in the middle of that picture.

This is that event in-game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYJ4-r0zCXY

For some reason Eurasia isn't red but rather green in the end game (Africa ends up as the "red" continent).

The background of that concept art is probably meant to convey the "gaia stone" sun effect of the underworld, and that is pretty loyal, but yeah, it definitely isn't showing Ark just walking around the overworld.

>>3853527

Why not?

>>3853664
Half of the things people on the internet call "concept art" are actually promotional art. Like all the Kinu and Bengus Street Fighter art, for example.

>>3853948
Square Enix does this for literally all their FF characters in this art-style, even in modern times. It's not concept art.

for the first 6 games and xi it actually is concept art.
VII, VIII, and everything after xi is when they used amano after they already designed everything

>>3853481
What is the game

>>3854324

Panzer Dragoon on Sega Saturn, PC and PlayStation2.

>>3854330
Thank you

>>3854314
Pretty sure that's wrong going by what I read in an interview with the sprite artist for the first few games. Not sure about 5 and 6, but up until 4 the sprites came first, I'm pretty sure.

>>3854314
I remember an interview when he mentionned his first work with them.

When asked to draw characters, he came up with pixelized stuff, and they told him that no, what they want from him, are images players can use as a base for their imagination when playing the game.

So it's not concept art. I think a lot of people seem to have trouble with the notion too. Because it's 'official art' doesn't mean it's concept art.

>>3854618

Could you link that? That sounds interesting to read.

technical limitations considered, really captured the feel of the artists' vision. Hard to believe the director was a first-timer 23 year old and made such an ambitious game in the launch period of the system.

>>3853460
I absolutely love how old prerendered 3D looked. I now know that this was supposed to be the top of a tower of sorts rather than some abstract platform floating in the middle of nothing and those floating yellow balls that never made any sense are in fact supposed to be pillars

Do you understand what the "concept" of concept art is? You just defined it in your own comment

>images players can use as a base for their imagination when playing the game.

That goes for the game designers too, they would look at his drawing and use them as a basis to try and capture the same kind of feel and mood to recreate the same reaction in players.

from what i hear, they were thinking of a male protag instead of terra.
the older lady is strago's wife lara, who was cut.

>>3855045
well she says herself that it's concept art.

>>3854314
In this case most of Zelda Ocarina of Time isn't concept art too, as most of the images were produced after the models.

>>3855052
>images players can use as a base for their imagination when playing the game.

That's not at all what concept art is though. It could be used by players in that way, but that's not why it's made in the first place. Concept art is for internal development to give a concept of what the final look of a project is going for.

>>3855121
I hope Steve-O is happy somewhere.

>>3853527
It's promotional art technically. It's made after the fact.

I always used to think that gogo was related to relms and strago in some way. It was in an island next to Thasma and has power replication abilities like Strago/Relm.

>>3855052
According to Amano, what was the "canonical" party? I can recognise the warrior and white mage there.

I love how these look straight out of Fist of the North Star.

If I'm guessing, it's fighter/thief/monk/white mage.

That's because the most reposted online version (with all the color swaps) sloppily edited out her third eye.

Well then Magical Drop might be right for you! It's not all that great as a series, but it's got plenty of fanservice to distract from that.

It's not exactly a huge name in the west, and puzzlers are a niche genre to begin with. I can understand someone not having heard of it.

High Priestess is best character by the way.

But I just bought the Saturn port on ebay.
Oh baby.

There are sometimes some other old D&D fags around here, I guess just not in this thread. It's the stuff from the DMG that Square based their monsters on. >>3857635 is an Amano drawing of a Mind Flayer "inspired" by >>3857403

People on /tg/ even call the first Final Fantasy "The Temple of Elemental Evil game we SHOULD have gotten."

All I've learned from this thread is that there's no such thing as concept art/we've never seen concept art ever released for video games.

Holy moly, the old man looks a like a dog in-game.
