Damn, your right, he ruined zidane.

Its just like you said, he did the original designs and then the other guy redrew them for the final game since they are more appealing to the masses than Amano's. Amano does not have a different style, but if you see his work that is not for final fantasy, it looks different. I really like all his other work but I do not like most of the work he does for final fantasy, his other paintings look better in my opinion.

Amano is horribly overrated.

I don't know if I would say that, I never met someone who preached Amano but just people that preffered him to Nomura.

I don't care for either. Amano's style has never been my thing and Nomura's gotten progressively worse over the years. But I do think VIII has the best designs in the series, and even though X's more of a mixed bag that game has some good designs too...
