I like how Nomura created names for all his character designs.
Hume female with blonde/black hair in a ponytail is called Morgana, black haired hume is Alexio etc
This is a cool find!
I mean, it was obvious from the designs (especially the hairdos) that Nomura was the artist (For the Humes at least. We used to designate them FF names e.g. Wynne is Yuna, Geraud is Tidus, Rafale is Zell, etc), but it's still cool to see the conecept art.
Alexio and Wynne were the box art characters lmao
Alerio* The font is indeed small, but アレリオ (Arerio) is written next to the character. I find it interesting that, on the ffxiclopedia character creation page, Alerio and Rafale have their names swapped.
It's also interesting to see the small descriptions next to some of the face e.g. Alerio has "normal hero" written next to him (that's why he's on the box art & intro cutscene I guess), Erhart is "cool longhair", Enkei (the Tenzen-looking guy) is "Asia". Bertram is just "beard" lol
Different artist I presume.
