back to the mini art desiger argument...
Amano is the illustrator for the FF series. He takes the FF desgins and makes them to fit his style of art, which is associated with the early art designs of the final fantasy... So far to my awareness, amano never designs what is to be found in the game. He simply takes from the game sprites and original sketches and makes them into 'art' form. He's taken alot of FF characters and altered them to appear more artistic. See the attached Vivi pic. All the ingame designs are based on the original sketches. So ingame Setzer would have Nomura's Setzer in sprite form.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
