I finally checked out the FF16 artbook and honestly felt a bit underwhelmed — was hoping for more of Kazuya Takahashi’s work to be showcased. What did you think of FF16 overall? I thought it was cool, but it doesn’t really have that replay pull like some of the older FFs. Artbooks you might like: FF16 Artbook: amzn.to/45cYUqh Final fantasy 14 art books: amzn.to/3Zbl0GW

Kazuya Takahashi is one of Square Enix’s most distinctive visual minds, known for his work on Final Fantasy XIV and XVI. His painterly style blends rough brush strokes, realistic anatomy, and strong world-building, making his characters feel alive rather than idealized. While influenced by Akihiko Yoshida's style, Takahashi brings his own subtle touch with layered colors, earthy palettes, and sharp contrasts that guide the viewer’s eye.
