Itahana says Lani's design is actually based on Pele (the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes) because Minaba wanted to include a nod to Hawaii, where the game was developed. So Itahana designed her as a character who erupts when she gets angry, and her weapon is red because of lava.

Although they are not mentioned in the interview, I think we can surmise that Itahana also designed Beatrix, Doctor Tot, Terra's other genomes and Stiltzkin, among others. This is also based on the similarity in their artworks, so I could be wrong.

Among the NPCs designed by Itahana are Fratley, Lani, Mikoto and Alexandria's inhabitants, according to Famitsu's interview. He also worked on a number of other tasks, such as designing props (like Vivi's ticket), overseeing weapon designs and fixing background graphics.

How to make that FFIX anime good:
-Go full pastel Itahana style
-Use original soundtrack
-Don’t make it 3D “because it’s a game”
-Don’t mess up Beatrix
-DON’T. MESS. UP. MY. BOY.

Let's take a moment to remind ourselves how on point was the art direction in the series. Together with Final Fantasy IX, this was Final Fantasy at its best and genuinely honest self.

As with many others "Final Fantasy-spin-offs" that came before it, was also a pretty experimental title in concept and game design. Also Layle was seriously a cool lad!😎👍

Looking at through the pencils of two different artists (Yoshitaka Amano,Toshiyuki Itahana) it's almost as looking at a different character altogether.

23. I love TWEWY's striking, yet simple style, of course, but Toshiyuki Itahana's art for FFIX will always have my fantasy-loving heart. I'm also gonna toss in Okami, though, too. Visually, it's one of the most beautiful games out there. I would highly recommend it!
