Just wanted to point out that Amano's art isn't completely traditional Japanese style. It's actually his own style of blending different art styles together. IMO I think it's more styled around "Art Nouveau" more than anything else.
As for comparing the art... I really can't say because this guy's potential as an artist isn't being tested seeing as all he's doing is pretty much imitating the concept art that Amano did long ago for Final Fantasy IV.
