Yoshitaka Amano’s art, Nobuo Uematsu’s music and Hironobu Sakaguchi’s storytelling give Final Fantasy that flavour you can’t find anywhere else in any other game.

Amano's input makes even FF1 worthy of checking out. It may have dated gameplay, but arts of many monsters, bosses and locations is just great. <br>I also love how asymmetric Amano's works are

I love how every time you need to use a picture of Nomura, you use the same image of him sitting at the table with his silly little blonde hair.

Amano also made the covers of the japanese editions of the book of the new sun, his art style really fits strange and fantastical universes

I still wish they would make a FF with Amano's art in the game itself. That would be a dream!

Just imagine for a moment, how amazing it would be, if they actually did create a FF in the aesthetics of Amano (instead of simply rebooting all of their previous games).

Amano's art is so striking. I wish Square would make a game in his style since the tech is good enough to realize it. For Final Fantasy XV, Amano did a painting called "The Big Bang" and Square made the painting 3D in a YouTube video they uploaded. A game that looked like that would be amazing. I'd imagine it would be like Okami in that we'd be in a moving painting.

We need a mainline FF that goes back to the roots,and that use Amanos art exclusively directly as the aesthetic presentation and artstyle. If they used beautiful 2D sprites like the games Melty Blood Type Lumina,including abstract art like the game Gris,with it all animating in real time like the game Cuphead.OR 3D anime inspired art style like the game Guilty Gear Strive. Square has so much gold and potential they dont use with Amanos art like they should,they never take advantage of what they can do. If they can do justice to his art in game as the main artstyle, while creating a worthwhile FF game, it will sale like crazy. Heck they even used his art as a cover for FF15. If you want to see Amanos art recreated faithfully ingame in action in HD, look at Final Fantasy Dissidia NT. The older characters there (FF1 to FF6) are faithfully recreated in Amanos original style.
