I didn't say draw them on the computer, I meant that if he was a final fantasy maker, that when he finishes drawing them, he makes it into a character in final fantasy.

as I understand it, Amano just draws the characters, and then they are interpreted by a pixel artist (in the case of the games where he seems to have had a lot of influence - the Nintendo era games. He doesn't seem to have anything past "image illustration" in lots of the credits.). You'll notice that in lots of Amano illustrations, people are blonde, whereas in the actual game they have different coloured hair (like Terra from 6)...

Thats probably an indication of where his input ends... (though his art is of course very, very good!)
