The character designer from "Final Fantasy X" and "Final Fantasy X-2" is Tetsuya Nomura. Since art director Yusuke Naora convinced the Square staff to make "Final Fantasy X" an Asian-themed game, Nomura designed the characters to give them an Asian look. Nomura first illustrated the characters' faces and started adding details upon receiving information from the staff. Since the PlayStation 2's capabilities allowed to feature multiple details, Nomura did so with characters and asked the staff to make them consistent. The hardest part from his work involved making the characters' clothes identical between full motion scenes and in-game parts.
