I'm not a big Final Fantasy fans by any means, but I try to at least be vaguely aware of the series. It seems to me that whenever I see talk about Nomura's work, it's usually mentioned that his character design is terrible and also belts. Going by the people I know, I get the sense that people don't like his art as much since the PS1, except maybe for his more anime-styled stuff (e.g. The World Ends With You). I'm not sure if that's the common opinion though.
Nomura's undeniably had some hits. Cloud and Sephiroth are enduring popular. What I'm wondering is what the actual opinion of his entire body of work is. Do people think he's hit-or-miss? If you know he's handling the art on a game, are you confident that it'll be good?
