If it will make them money Nintendo will do it. If Earthbound's Virtual Console version makes them money, they will probably want to milk it, Ito or not.

Yeah and being Japan this will probably stick with them nearly forever and probably ruin their life...........that's just how Japan is.

I know. I LOVE almost every FF.......I'm a fan boy.........but I am really tired of how no one can make a post about on of my favorite game series without everyone either hopping on to Bash 7, praise, 9, and cry about either 12 or 13....

I got the FFIX artbook. I think most of these were in there. This was one of my favorite FFs back in the day. I wish they would go back to making something in this style and setting.....just for one game.

Was there an attached picture or link to that comment?

Oh please lets not get anyone started on THAT issue again.

What is sad is it seems there is a trend now to make the characters as realistic and gritty ugly as possible......especially the men...now all guys seem to have to be overly muscular with shaved heads......

Your comment poses too much of a threat to the senseless soapbox preaching mind of this Jason douche. How dare you not actually make any sense and bitch along with him.

Oh I guess you missed the Elf who has barely any tits at all! And as far as I can tell she is just as freaking bad ass.

SHAME? WTF did he do to Jason? Jason called him a 14 year old boy and acted as if he was super sexist. So he jokingly replies with some artwork showing other characters in just as sexual of poses....artist do this all the time. Kotaku people cry like pussies and then the artist is made to apologize. Lame! Also I…

Which is a good thing. If he changed his opinion and style based off the input from morons like the writers on this site then we will never have something awesome like Odin's Sphere or Muramasa again.

Yeah I know. I'm just not like them. I couldn't take a big shit all over journalism and or someones work without at least seeming a bit apologetic. In case you are wondering a big shit is exactly what these articles from Jason are.

MACHINE HEAD! sorry you made me think of that song.

Close minded. Persona' only exists because of the SMT series......also Persona is in the SMT series. While I love the games....their stories are quit a bit less horrific / hardcore as the SMT games. Also companies have to make money between hit titles. If you don't want P5 to suck then you had better hope this game…

When I first saw SMT III I wanted to be the anti-christ soo bad if It made me look that cool.

This is one of my favorite artist of all time. I have a hard time imagining any god or mythical creature without thinking of their designs.

Nier was one of the best stories in gaming ever IMO.

Unfortunately that is the only thing that is a set back on this project. Though I like the artstyle, Neptunia is something rather of the trash of JRPGs. Something old school JRPG fans are more ashamed of than anything.

Hell to the yeah. All I needed to see was Amano's name. Sold instantly. I have never been disappointed in any of his works.

Funny, I have had plenty of Asian / Korean friends who were girls...........and they all looked much different than each other than these pageant girl.......
