FFVI GBA

[Dark Jaguar]

We posted at the same time... don't skip my post because of it. :)

I didn't skip it, I read it, just not much I had to comment on. Well, there's Terra's hair color. Yeah, Amano's artwork had her blonde but they changed it to green. Not sure if it was to make her stand out from Celes or not, but one other possibility is they wanted her to seem not quite human right from the start. That's what I thought, but then anime came along and I realized that purple, green, pink, blue, and so on are considered NORMAL hair color in Japan. At any rate, the ending FMV with her in Narche makes her hair look green, though that might just be lighting.

For that matter, the magitech armor in amano's artwork, which is what these FMVs (and the game's logo in the title in fact, which was cruelly cut from the US SNES release) are based off of don't have arms, but they have big ol' hunkin' arms in the game itself. And to go on from that, the enemy sprites show multiple models, some with arms and later ones without, more resembling the artwork. Also, Sabin doesn't have a shirt, but I suppose there are multiple reasons why they would do that aside from artwork, or there would be if his chest didn't happen to look the least well done of the CG in that video.

They would repeat this artwork vs in-game stuff with Ayla in Chrono Trigger, who in the FMVs (and the artwork) used a club, but could never use a club nor even had one at any point in the actual game.
