Cita:While speaking with Yoshitaka Amano, the legendary designer who created art for almost every game in the Final Fantasy series, I asked him about his dream project. Would he want to work on a direct sequel to Final Fantasy VI? Maybe a Dragon Quest game? Some sort of crazy Chrono Trigger spinoff?

"Something with cute girls," Amano said. "Where it's maybe not so dark and weird. A really cute, pretty fun world."

Cual sería su proyecto de ensueño, ¿Trabajar en una secuela directa de Final Fantasy VI? ¿Puede que un Dragon Quest? ¿Un spinoff de Chrono Trigger?

Amano: "Algo con chicas monas. Tal vez, algo no tan oscuro y extraño. Un mundo bonito y divertido."

Cita:Jovial, friendly, and full of energy even at age 60, Amano spoke to me through a translator in a private room during Comic Con in Manhattan last weekend. We talked for 20 minutes, during which he told me all about his work process, how his techniques have (or haven't) changed with the advance of graphical technology in gaming over the past two decades, and even his favorite Final Fantasy characters. The veteran designer is partial to Moogles, and one certain green-haired heroine.

"I like all of them, but I think of some more fondly than others," Amano said. "One is Tina." (Better known in the U.S. as Final Fantasy VI's Terra.)

"And Kain in Final Fantasy IVÔÇöhe and Tina really stick around to me because I feel like they were actually actors, like they're actually coming to life for me," he said. "I spent a lot of time putting my heart into them, and it feels like they're almost like people acting in roles rather than just characters I created. I like drawing good-looking guys and really cute girlsÔÇöif you had to project a stereotype of what each one of these ones is to me, that's Kain and Tina."

Le gustan todos sus personajes, pero algunos son más especiales para él. Una de ellas es Terra y el otro es Kain. Cree que estos dos personajes no son simples personajes que creó, sino que son como actores, actores que vinieron a la vida por él.

Le gusta dibujar personajes guapos y chicas monas.

Cita:Maybe that's why Amano wants to stick to more lighthearted fare. He's currently doing art for a project called Candy Girls, which he says is full of cute girls he likes drawing. He's also working on at least one new video game, but he wouldn't tell me anything about it.

"Anything you can hint at?" I asked.

Amano chuckled. "It's not a tennis or baseball game."

Esta trabajando en otro juego, Kotaku le pregunta, Amano le responde: "No es un juego de tenis o de baseball".

Cita:Okay. Is he still working on the much-delayed Final Fantasy Versus XIII? And what sort of art did he create for that game?

"I don't remember much about that anymore," he said. "You know, when you work on one specific project, a lot of time passes from when you first start talking about it to when you're done... As Final Fantasy goes on, I've just done so much that I'm notÔÇöyou know, it could've been five years that I'd worked on that project and I only did it every 13 days or something like that."

¿Sigue trabajando en Final Fantasy Versus XIII?

Amano: "No recuerdo mucho del juego. Sabes, cuando trabajas en un proyecto específico, pasa un montón de tiempo desde que empiezas a hablar de él hasta que se termina. Yo trabajé con el juego hace cinco años, estuve unos 13 días y ya.

Cita:"No," he said. Back when he was first working on the original Final Fantasy, some 25 years ago, Square would send him games to play, but his kids would just grab them off the counter. Amano's kids, now 35 and 33, grew up with the games that he drew art for.

"The kids would just take the controllers and start playing," Amano said, laughing. "I wanted to play, I just never had the opportunity."

¿Alguna vez has jugado a videojuegos?

Amano: "No. Quería jugar, pero nunca tuve la oportunidad."

Cita:Amano might not have played any of the Final Fantasy games, but it's hard not to disagree with his personal favorite. When I asked if he was particularly proud of his work on any of the Final Fantasy games, he said yes: Final Fantasy VI.

"It kind of included this industrial Mecca," he said, "and it was kind of the first time that Final Fantasy did that. So it was kind of a change of pace, but it really worked well in my opinion. So Final Fantasy VI would probably be my answer."

Cuando le pregunté si estaba particularmente orgulloso de su trabajo con algún juego de la saga Final Fantasy, el dijo: Final Fantasy VI.

Menudo LOL, estuvo hace 5 años 13 días.

Lo que diga Amano va a misa. Final Fantasy VI es el mejor.

Pero Sakaguchi dice que el mejor es FFIX, y tiene razón.

Alguien conoce Versus XIII en Square Enix, aparte de Nomura y Shimomura ??... : XD

Ahora le preguntan a Shinomura si recuerda el juego y dice que trabajó en el un par de dias para hacer temas para los trailers y ya.

Un saludo.

XD XD :

Esta claro que Yoshitaka Amano tiene buen gusto

Me ha sorprendido por cierto que su creacion favorita sea Terra porque veo algunos como Rosa, Faris o Rydia que estan a un buen nivel (hablando de diseño y no como personaje).


Lo de Final Fantasy XIII Versus es un chiste ya ¬¬
