Nomura's style has been defined by the vibrant colors in which he uses as well as the unique amalgamation of eastern as well as western influences. His work has become very well known in a large part due to Final Fantasy, and his style of artwork has been loved and criticized by many, mostly by fans of Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy VI, due to the big departure from the traditional Japanese style of Yoshitaka Amano, who was responsible for the earlier Final Fantasy titles. | Nomura's style has been defined by the vibrant colors in which he uses as well as the unique amalgamation of eastern as well as western influences.
