that picture of yuffie that somebody posted in another thread has convinced me that nomura has actually gotten better at drawing these last ten years. i loathe his j-rock androgynes, but yuffie looks like something an idiot drew on his binder in school.not just yuffie.
No They're just angsty bitches who run around slashing shit while casting magic until they learn the powerful feeling of friendship and love.i never said they were good either, if that's what you're implying.
haze, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, etc. have the PS3 bald marine demographic covered.yeah, there are too many shooters this gen on both systems.
P.s. Nothing to say that the flamboyant hair doo's aren't wigs , and Cloud was a marine wasn't he?
these games look less appealing the more I see.
So basically...
FF13 Versus = FF7 Turks (Before Crisis/Crisis Core)?

THAT NOMURA SURE IS ORIGINAL
wow groo. i'm a huge 360 fanboy but if that happened to be realtime (LOLOLOL) then it would effin blow LO away.shrug
edit: I should learn to read
I'm still excited about FFXIII.
If it ever comes out. :-\
look at his FF7 art in general (not the characters, only his drawings) they all look horrible today, his drawings got much better in FF8.
here:
Remember when that pic was all we knew? That got me more excited than anything to this point for FF13.
Nomura is pretty good at monster designing.

Nomura gets a lot of undue hate I think (and a lot of due hate). I don't like a lot of his KH stuff, but his overall portfolio shows a lot of range and a great eye for individual characterization. People point to Tidus and say "lol androgynous" but ignore Auron, who, aside from being fucking kickass, is an awesome design. I think that Nomura's designs for the lead character are unfortunately affected by marketing.
It's true in a lot of Japanese games too. Vaan is a textbook example, as are Ashe and Basch. Both were made more palatable to the average Japanese consumer from Yoshida's original designs.
His monster designs are great, and his FFVII and VIII designs are part of the reason Final Fantasy became huge in America. I like his X designs-- I think they fit the world that the game takes place in. I think Tidus' design fits his character, too-- like him or hate him.
While playing, I never did either. But then I hit the net and saw the Meg Ryan photoshops (and the EGM Hsu and Chan comic).

Did Nomura design Kefka's final boss design? Judging by those boss pics on the last page, it looks as though he did.
QuoteThe new Famitsu article/interview supposedly mentions they're shooting for a late '08/early '09 release,
wow - we are looking at Xmas 2009 for FF13 in the west.

s-e's next step: showing us ff13 is a step above the cluster fuck that was ff12!
well if you're talking about development, they started working on FF13 in spring 2004 so the late 2008 release they're hoping for already means a longer dev period than FF12's 4 1/4 years. Disaster confirmed!meh, we know they scrapped the ps2 version and we know they moved it to the whoo-white engine sometime after e3 2k5. i mean after that. otherwise too human is like a total asssludge soup.

bad ass dudes?
where?
seems to me they are aiming to release Versus before 13, makes sense if true since it doesn't look like a big project to me, well not bigger than 13 anyway.
