Reminder that if it wasn’t for Nomura, Sakaguchi and the others would have done this to FFVII:
Tetsuya Nomura
“But if I hadn’t stopped you, in the second half of the game, you were planning to kill everyone off but the final three characters the player chooses!
Yoshinori Kitase
No way! I wrote that? Where?
Tetsuya Nomura
In the scene where they parachute into Midgar. You wanted everyone to die there!
Yoshinori Kitase
Really? Wait, I’m starting to remember …
Tetsuya Nomura
Yeah, remember? You and [writer] Nojima-san were all excited about this. I was the one who said “No way!” and stopped you guys. You wanted to kill everyone except the final three characters the player chose for the endgame.”
Yet people still bash on this guy and worship Sakaguchi.

tl;dr
frick Nomura and frick SE though
OK boomers, did you even read the quote above?
not anons but yes, and it confirmed nomura is a hack
kh3 was mediocre just like any game made by bootlegkojima-san
>kh3 was mediocre just like any game made by bootlegkojima-san
It’s not Nomura’s fault that the company he works for announced it too early and rushed him, why don’t you look at the real source of the problem: Capitalism, instead of using Nomura as a scapegoat or boogieman.
Swing and a miss
This. Shitty employment environment. Current S-E projects have no direction and have chased off all their talent.
Nomura has tons of talent.
Also you do realize that Square is in the state it’s in is because of Sakaguchi and the Spirits Within movie right?
>Thinking Sakaguchi caused the mess and not Hollywood
Reminded the plot of the film was supposed to take place in Washington DC.
Nomura is and always has been a shitstain on Square's track record. It's just that after the merger the rest of Square got as shitty as him.
People bash Nomura because he's responsible for the disgusting autistic mass that is Kingdom Hearts.
Kingdom Hearts is great with lot’s of build up and foreshadowing.
All of that and it can’t make the writing good outside of CoM and Days
1/2
“* The Kingdom Hearts series and first game in particular suffers from some of this, perversely not due to bad or uncreative translation—indeed, it's actually really good—but due to Woolseyism. The translation team worked to preserve tone and meaning in a lot of dialogue, rather than literalism, and successfully turned "conversations with friends in Japanese" into "conversations with friends in English." Good! Except for the fact that the Japanese dialogue, unbeknownst to the localization team, contained Arc Words and very subtle bits and pieces from Chekhov's Armoury that wouldn't come to full fruition until later games in the series. As a result, some of the Foreshadowing was gone, and the Kingdom Hearts series' growing a massively intertwined and complex plot came much more unexpectedly to Anglophones. It's an excellent translation for a stand-alone game, but unfortunately—it wasn't a stand-alone game.
* A lot of this revolves around the word "hearts". The word in Japanese translates to the effect of "What makes you, you." Which an English speaker might translate as "souls". However Heart is valid enough translation and with the various heart symbols it was kept. Which was well and good... until the Nobodies came. Who "Lacked Hearts". But were not the Heartless, who lacked bodies. And there is consistent questions in the English fanbase if Nobodies had cardiological hearts. A question that is unlikely to come up in Japanese.
* Sora's Awakening in the beginning of the first game is guided by a mysterious voice. In Japanese, it was obvious that this voice belonged to Mickey Mouse — nobody else talks the way the voice talks. In English, there's a lot less room for identifying features in a speaking pattern, and the English-speaking side of the fanbase was left wondering when it'd get explained until Ultimania confirmed what Japanese fans had known all along.”
2/2
“The symbolism of Xion's name in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days was unfortunately lost in translation. In Japan, "shion" (the Japanese pronunciation of Xion) is also the name of a plant that is commonly associated with memories.
* The Kingdom Hearts translation team is usually rather good at catching Arc Words, but in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance they seemed to have missed Young Xehanort saying "We'll go together.", translating it as "Come with me." instead.
* The first game created a What Happened to the Mouse? situation due to an awkward translation. When Donald is leaving on his mission to find Sora and King Mickey, he says to Daisy "Can you take care of the-?" and she replies "Of course". Take care of the what, exactly? Whatever it is, it's never mentioned or brought up again. This is because in Japanese, he starts to say "We'll find the king", which in Japanese word order would be "The king, we will find". Donald starts "The king-" and Daisy cuts him off with "Of course (you will)". However, this would be impossible to translate into English while preserving the meaning, since the only way you could preserve the word order would be to have it as "The king will be found by us", which sounds nothing like the way Donald (or most English speakers, for that matter) usually talks, and having him start with "We'll find-" wouldn't make it obvious that he was talking about finding the king, so the line had to be changed.”
I won't bother discoursing with you anymore since you're very uninformed and base your opinions on the crappy translations.
Look at the way this homosexual dresses whenever he makes an appearance. No wonder his character designs suck ass.
Do people actually like the idea of killing everyone but those three you chose, just to be contrarian?
Yes. That’s all this place is. People who disagree and refuse to post in actual informative threads.
I like the idea of characters dying on you but I don't quite like killing massive amount of characters in one fell swoop when you could use their deaths as catalyst or a good beat for the story.
>NOOOOOOOO
>CHOICES IN MY RPGS
>HOW CAN THIS BE
Give me a single reason why it's a bad idea.
In the case of FFVII, it would be cheap bs.
Explain how.
What else would you have to choose in an event where you literally choose who lives and who doesn't you fricking dingus
Because you can only choose to kill them off.
It’s a stupid idea with no impact.
considering death is a major theme of 7 it wouldn't exactly be out of place. if the rest of the game is anything to go by they would have done an excellent job with it so I don't think there's any reason to dismiss it outright.
>considering death is a major theme of 7
So was X but you don’t see it pulling that bs.
It would be moronic because it kills the entire meaning of death, just kill everyone amirite
Now, killing the character you use the most outside Cloud, that would be great.
Remember when Nomura was kino?
Remember when you didn’t use Nomura as a boogieman.
Goddamn, he's so pathetic.
Cry more.
The only one crying here is Nomura though, given how he can't manage to finish a single game and is also coping with not being able to dress like a teenager at 50 years without getting laughed at.
Who hurt you?
>worship Sakaguchi.
People still do this? All he does these days is mobile shit.
That would actually have been pretty ballsy. Too bad they didn't go there.
Also no Sakaguchi, no FF. It's that simple.
