This piece of Final Fantasy VI fan art is so good it deserves its own thread
- Thread starter jett
- Start date
Actually its not a matter of realism. This is a very good piece of art, its just not my preference. With the FF art and a lot Eastern art in general I find there's a bit more appreciation for.. I'm not entirely sure how to explain it but the the strokes that aren't there as much as the ones that are. There's a certain flow between strokes that grabs me and generally seems more common with Eastern art and I guess I've come to associate the two, though of course there is crossover.
No issues with the realism at all or the characters being unrecognisable etc. Just not my preference over the original art.
Minimalism, or the zen concept of "Ma"
"Music is the silence between the notes." - Claude Debussy
The impact of the music has as much to do with how you use silence as it does with how you actually play the notes, this can apply to visual art as well.
Been following Dave Rapoza's work for a while now. Glad more people are getting exposed to it. He has done some other fantastic fanart of Square's stuff. Buff Strago is love, buff Strago is life.
Please look up his Garfield stuff tho.

They look like actually capable combatants, as opposed to skinny anime fashion models! Oh no.
Saw this as it was being made and absolutely loved it the entire way through. FANTASTIC reinterpretation of Amanos designs in a way that would look GREAT in 3D, the details and personality shine through plus its a really fantastic composition. His recent Chrono Trigger art was also masterful.
Mogs eyes should be flat though, that is my only gripe

Being very precise in reproducing Amano's costume designs but then making all the dudes superhero-level ripped strikes me as kinda missing the forest for the trees. It's not a bad change for some of them, granted, but it'd be nice to have a little more variety in body types.
Also why does Gau look 40
I am glad you commented on this, when I was playing through the game I was always concerned about the realism, as my characters were boarding a steampunk airship, casting magic and summoning deities to aid them in their quest, as well as saving a feral child who can actually learn monsters' moves such as self destruction and 1000 needles, yes. I was always worried if they were too skinny anime to be able to fight
I had to look up the Suikoden USA box art after so many posts brought it up.
What kinda disingenuous whack ass comparison.
Arguing this trash box art is similar at all to the art in the OP?

Don't you know? Realism is bad and ugly. Therefore they're both a lot alike!
/s
It's just anime fans angry that someone made art of their thing they like in a non-anime style.
Who said anything about realism? This is a matter of aesthetics.
How, pray tell, does Amano's art style qualify as "anime"? I swear some of you people are just ridiculous with your tired-ass thing I don't like = "anime" takes.
I think it'd be pretty cool to have all of that done by characters that look like humans like you and me and not always performed by cartoon characters. There's room in the gaming space for both and - what do you know - some people prefer one style to the other. Or even both!
Im sorry can people only do fan art of the game if it's done exactly in Amano's art style?
I wouldn't classify Amano's art as anime but anime fans are nearly always the ones who complain about realism.
Oh I love this. Mog aside who I think looks a little weird, and Strago having pecs like The Rock, still looks great.
Yeah, it doesn't feel like an FF artwork but it's pretty impressive on a technical level. That mog is weird af tho.
I read the title of this thread and thought "I've heard FFVI is good, but that seems like hyperbole". I was wrong. That thread title is maybe the most accurate thread title on this site. Holy shit!
I'm just now playing through FFIX for the first time. I love this!

It's technically impressive but I don't jive with it at all. Not a particular fan of the style.
Totally agree. I think some of them are mad that they aren't realistically Asian-looking characters and look more Western. It's FUCKIN' FANART!!! Fuckin' weebs are the WORST!
Why would someone who wants to do a fanart THEIR OWN WAY have to make it look super true-to-form with Amano's art? It's less griping on anime and more griping on, "Why does this look so WESTERN-looking?" or, "Why is the fan-artist not emulating the original artist MORE?!". WTF?!!! As I said, it's FANART. You don't HAVE to like it, but nothing is wrong with the style chosen.

Huh? Terra Branford, Celes Chère, Sabin René Figaro, Setzer Gabbiani, etc.
I always hated that, same for Lucas in Smash Brawl portrayed as a crybaby when he overcame that after the early game timeskip.
This is a wonderful piece. Very nice composition and it fills me with a sense of wonder.an excuse to post more fan art
i always liked this one
Dont care for the game but that art looks great. Even with my limited knowledge the characters are recognizable so I dont get those complaints at all. Are they not anime or child-like enough or something?
The latter surely. Even just the "what's the best FF" conversations are too frequent.
Why does Setzer look like a vampire?
Some of those are ok, some aren't my favorite. I'm still convinced FFVI would be ruined if it was remade. All pretty anime people and awful anime grunting and terrible anime voice acting. No thanks.

I saw this on my feed yesterday and was surprised by how good it is. Wish I could play FFVI on my Switch...

Trash box art?? That's as amazing as the original Megaman US box art. Iconic! In all honesty glad I still bought that game when it came out because the box art almost turned me off from doing so.
I wonder if they're just constantly gaining new fans and that's why those conversations pop up all the time. Because even as I sit here playing FFIX for the first time I can't help but compare it to the two other FF games I just finished (7R and X).
If I were a port beggar this would remind me to say "I would really love to play FF6 on Switch" but thankfully since I'm not a port beggar I would never say something so pathetic... pehh! (that's me spitting in outrage)
This artwork made me start up a playthrough of FFVI, and I've never played much of it or even completed it before, but I'm going for it hard now!
Is there an OT for this game, or a beginner tips thread anywhere around Era?
I love Locke so far, he seems really charming, or at least with the accent I'm using, calm and laidback relic adventurer. Edgar is a real shit womanizer though, he has a cool ass castle though.
