[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1810132, member: 5202"] Of course who are any of us to say "That is/is not fantasy"? Final Fantasy is basically steampunk in some of the games. FF8 was really futuristic/modern. X is far future, but its back to steam pretty much. Original FF is almost pure fantasy....minus Warmech if you ever manage to make him show up heh. Harry Potter is modern fantasy yes, but I still call anything with magic, faeries, boggins, etc fantasy, whether it has modern trappings or not. Many of us grew up on Elmore art with the DragonLance series, BROM in Dark Sun, etc. I always felt the firm entrenching of fantasy style in the mid 70s for the rest of eternity was a bit ridiculous myself. Someone else made the excellent point about piercings/body mod and such going back for ages and they're completely right. Fantasy art has definitely changed over the years and this is just the current style. Sorry if you don't like it. Wait for a new edition, it'll change again I'm sure. Hagen [/QUOTE]
