Rest in peace, Isono-san.

This is quite a loss...this guy's art is absolutely beautiful Smilie. Didn't he also do the art for Terra Nigma & Secret of Evermore?

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422
