The man definitely had a distinctive style that brought a lot of life to the Seiken Densetsu franchise, and really had a huge influence on the visual aspect of JRPGs as a whole. He and his work will be greatly missed.
I remember how inspirational the Secret of Mana artwork was. Just turning on the game and being greeted with a graphical representation of the print material's painting, complete with birds flying across the screen was one of my first console RPG "wow" moments. Such a beautiful game. It was so breathtaking.
That picture. As a kid, I wanted to be there. It was such a cool piece of art.

Guess there won't be another completely new Mana game ......
There could be, just with a new illustrator...hopefully someone deeply influenced by Isono.Originally Posted by Tsukoblue
i loved Legend of Mana's artwork, it had some of the most beautiful and original art in a JRPG i have seen..........unlike these days where most JRPGs seem to recycle art styles.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, but LoM had a different artist than the earlier Mana games.
