My big brother played a animated clip on our computer. The clip is 'Final fantasy X-2' opening sequence.

I am a young teenager back then with no knowledge of 3d but when i saw that, i was memorised by the look, the style and the animation. It doesn't look kiddish at all but cool. And the realistic style of the characters is what i admired the most.
Afterwards, i bought my first Playstation 2 and along with FFX and FFX-2. I played them all day and night during my holidays. It was the best games i played.
I think they affected me in the way my art direction approach is which is more stylish realism.
