Who's the artist for this GBA game? I really liked the designs for it, and I was wondering. And where can I find some art of it (besides the three main characters, I have that) in good quality? I really want Remedi's, and the ones on the official site are small and too compressed.

The designer is Ryoma Ito.
No luck finding his webpage though, if any.

Oh, thanks, there's a nice closeup of her face in there. Has this artist done anything before?

And you're posting your links MMCafe-style! :)

What about her? is she evil or good? I'm intrigued. (I don't mind some spoilers, just remember to use the spoiler feature).

Well, let's see if I can figure out how to use this spoiler thing.
Uhm...well, this isn't a spoiler (you can find this anywhere)...but...Remedi is Mewt's mother, who died in the real world. I believe the teddy bear Mewt always carries around is from her. His father, Cid fell into a sort of drunken depression after losing her. In Ivalice (the other world), however, she's alive...and the queen. Cid is the Judgemaster, which is a highly respected/feared position in that world...but...if you really wanna knowwww...

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -

Because Remedi is alive in Ivalice, Mewt wants to hold onto that world in a sort of...childish/mentally troubled fit. Remedi is mothering to the point of being creepy to him and sort of manipulative as well. Eventually Cid turns against her and...yeah, I won't blow all the details, but she's the last boss of the game. I would KILL for artwork of her battle costume.

End of Spoiler

Remedi's reallly cool...I wanna make her costume, but I didn't have enough time this year...maybe some other time.

Sounds like a very interesting character, now I want to see that costume :P

Thanks ^^

I just used the image in Holiday's link for my site front page, by the way (just updated, btw), I wish I could get a full-body pic in that quality.

Anybody somewhere bothered to make sprite rips? just asking, I know that probably nobody did, but I had to ask ^^

Will it top Narikiri Dungeon 2 for my favorite GBA game? we'll see.

The sprites are so...mediocre. I wish someone had a face set, though. I took screencaps of most everyone.
Is there a decent FFTA artbook out!? The ones I've seen don't have anything! They don't have Remedi's other costume, the last boss design, any of the townspeople and half the classes! I can't find a picture of the Red Mage class, which is sooooo~ cute.

Noticed how Square isn't too artbook-friendly sometimes? Hopefully they'll make a decent one for FFTA someday. Not Square-related, but why isn't Dhaos-sama official pic in the Tales of Phantasia Illustrations one! Ah, can you send a couple of Remedi screencaps to me? I'm intrigued by that other costume specially, it would be great. Thanks.

What bugs me about most Square books I've seen is the complete lack of concept art from Nomura. I refuse to believe that he just sits down and draws one picture and that's it. I'm sure this guy has tons of sketches and all you see are the very few final products.
Anyway, my computer with the Remedi screencaps is busted right now, but with any luck, it'll be back up within 3 days, so I'll try and send you the files then, assuming that things go well.
FFTA is one of the few, if not the only, game that I own, but decided to play on emulator. I got it when it first came out in Japan, but the battles became tiresome after about 25 hours or so, and it was nice to speed them up on emulator.

Many thanks. And yes, the lack of concept art is annoying. That's what I like the most on some artbooks, the tons of design sketches (like in the Sakura Taisen ones). Who's on your avatar anyway? looks like the style of the Puppet Princess games illustrator, games that I haven't played besides the first one (but I really want to play La Pucelle).

I read in some article that the original FF Tactics artist is currently working on concept art for FF XII.

...unnecessary suffer is masochist rather than heroic.

Uhm...my picture is by the Puppet Princes/La Pucelle/Disgaea guy. It's Prier, the main character to La Pucelle, as a demon. He drew the picture after Disgaea came out and he had Prier and Marjoly as demons. Prier is actually a nun, though.Heh..
I don't know that the FFTA artist is working on FFXII...I believe that it's the FFT/Vagrant Story guy, actually. Either is fine with me.

This page have some sprite rips, as well as being the only FFT-A page in english that I know. However, it's true that the sprites of this game are only so-so, specially the Moogles. They're totally different to the art.

isn't the character designer different from La Pucelle to Disgaea?

Those two characters are in Disgaea though, looking the same way as in the picture, and they join you too. But damn it that they're classified as monsters!

Uhmmm...well, on the guy's webpage, I believe it says that he worked on Disgaea. His art certainly looks different if it's him, but even if he isn't the head character artist, I know he worked on the game in some form. (in terms of artwork)
Wahhhh...I can't wait to play Disgaea! I've gotten snared by so many other RPGs lately, though! First it was ToD2, then Shin Megaten 3, and now Super Robot Wars Impact and FFX-2.
