Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 75993, member: 767"] That's because they had different artists working on the concept art and the pixel art. They probably didn't sync up that well. Plus I imagine Amano was available on a limited time basis, would drop his concept art and leave to work on his other projects. If I had to guess why that happened, it is because they had already a blonde character and it made her too similar looking to Celes. Or it could be that they thought she would stand out more with green hair. Or maybe it was a homage to Rydia from FF4. There's also color palette limitations for sprites in the SNES hardware. That's something I learned from my romhacking days. The way the hardware works, you only get 16 colors to work with per character (I might be misremembering the exact number). Some characters share color schemes to work around memory limitations. The main point is, sometimes color choices are dictated by hardware limitations. [/QUOTE]
