I never quite get over how incredible Yoshitaka Amano's art is. I've sometimes found myself wishing I could play a Final Fantasy fully illustrated by him, rather than just enjoy his concept art. The new Final Fantasy IV boxart is no exception. If you aren't familiar with him, check out Biten, a splendid compendium of his art in vivid color. He recently wrote and illustrated his first graphic novel, Hero. Fantasy fans should love the story, self described by Amano as "a legend of the future." I myself am anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

Ohhhh, there it is, beautiful!
WHERE IS THIS GAME
This cover kind of sucks though. It just doesn't look right for some reason.
Yes. I always imagined the pixelated characters in the early games in his style as I was playing. I wish the remakes would use his art for everything...
I'm the exact same way. I wasn't really impressed when I first saw it for Final Fantasy VI, but by the time IX came out, I was a total fan. It's definitely a style that needs to grow on you. Now I too, want to see a full game featuring his artwork. I understand why they didn't during the PS1 days, but with the PS2 and especially now with the PS3, they have no excuse not to use his artwork in-game. When Mistwalker was announced, Sakaguchi said he was going to work with Amano on a game. Why hasn't anything happened yet?
