Amano at the time was in Europe when FF7 was in production iirc. Mostly stopped doing Final Fantasy after X. After 6 was also the separation point for JRPG, mainly involving Final Fantasy.
Takahashi(Graphics Director) left to go make Xenogears, Sakaguchi(Director/Producer) went to go make Parasite Eve after helping Takahashi produce Xenogears. Final Fantasy would then on get a new core team hence the overall changes to the game series image (where 1-6 were more fantasy, with 6 being slightly more industrialized, and 7 being more of the opposite much more urban with elements of fantasy)
