Talk about rediscovering your roots.

Lead artist Yoshitaka Amano has actually been with Square since WAY back in 1987, as he helped design some of the game's original characters and monster designs. Amano remained with Square and has had input on every Final Fantasy since - helping design the various games' logos you'd recognise a mile away.

For FF XV - and thanks to Youtuber The Leaderboard for this - a ton of Amano's original monster designs were repurposed and brought into the modern generation, including the Behemoth and elephantine Catoblepas, the latter of which was seen in the original Episode Duscae demo.
