As much as I love Amano’s illustrations I do not think they would transfer well into a video game like you say. There’s a somewhat disturbing and depressing quality to his art that I feel would struggle to convey some of the more light hearted moments in the games and be a huge mismatch with some of the cuter creatures like chocobos and moogles. I really don’t think things like Sabin suplexing a train or cute interactions between Locke and Celes would translate well at all, either. If they were to do a less chibi version then I think they’d have to make entirely new art (and not the awful thing they did with the mobile version of ff6)
