    It has been difficult to find much information, but Takahashi has done a lot of artwork for Final Fantasy XIV. It seems he has also been responsible for some of the Character Design in the expansions as well. From what I can find, he may have also worked on Final Fantasy X as a Visual Effects artist on the 3D maps (IMDB).
