Why did Nomura's designs go to absolute shit as soon as Yoshitaka Amano stopped doing the character concepts for Final Fantasy?

Blame the moe and bishonen culture that japanese suits have been pushing and pandering for years.
Kingdom hearts character designs and even the story is disney fault, they have to be approved by them and this explain the very long delays too.
The recent Xenoblade 2 characters Metsu and Shin were designed by Nomura.

Fact:
lauren Faust, yes even the pony designer, is a better designer than Nomura.
Simply because she adheres to simple and clean rather than overdesigned with 12 belts.

Because it's free money since all of his competent superiors fled the company, if Nomura actually gave a shit about his position he would have left a while back instead of showing up piss drunk showing off Sora with a chainsaw sword to Yidsney about a good decade and a half ago.

Son let me let you on a tip of old weeb wisdom. In Japan folks can stay in positions to the highest of their Peter Principles because if you are that one guy associated with that one giant fucking hit, and the old higher ups are still running the company? You get free reign, and nobody, I mean nobody will topple you or fire you in the process because you had those series of hits back in the day.

Tetsuya Nomura is a hack fraud who could never amount to anything without being kept in check by his peers and higher-ups.
He wanted to turn FFXV into a musical after seeing the mediocre Les Miserables adaptation, SIX YEARS INTO DEVELOPMENT. That was the turning point where he was kicked-off FFXV as lead director, and it's rumored that something similar will happen with Kingdom Hearts III soon if it doesn't release in 2018.

He a Human or Hume/Guado or Tree-Person mongrel hybrid. You can find FF fans who defend his ridiculous stupid hair with dumb shit excuses like that, Nomura is just a hack after Squaresoft and Enix merger without his mentor Sakaguchi reigning in the retardation.

Amano's more of a true artist than a video game character designer, his shit isn't always the most adequate or eye pleasing at first, i also think he wanted to be more of a fashion designer.

first Nomura wanted to make a game starring Mickey but Disney said no. Then he pitched Sora

Then he got a key
Then he was made human

Amano pretty much single-handedly revitalized the art of Ukiyo-e (woodcut prints, which had been outlawed a few centuries prior due to being used to mass produce pornography)
design-wise, he brings western visual elements into his decidedly eastern art process, resulting in something that feels unique and alien
not bad for a guy who got his start on Speed Racer.

I still don't think he's that big of a hack.
The Bouncer characters looked cool, and amano had nothing to do with that shit.
FFVIII is one of the best games Square put out if you go by aesthetics alone. I don't believe that one had Amano concepts either, and The Bouncer looks a shitload like it. He should have just stayed "there"
FFXV is almost a call back to that era, but everything else is fucked beyond repair.

You do know different artists work on different aspects. Nomura had nothing to do with the aesthetic of environment design. It was all Yusuke Naora and his underlings.
Also FF VIIs characters (i know you were talking about viii), were never conceptualized by Amano. Nomura came up with it with direction by the writers. Amano FF VII art was based on Nomuras design.
