Everything you know about Square-Enix is a lie. The common held view is that Nomura, master of belts, is responsible for the shitty writing in late Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
This is not the case, and has never been the case. Every Nomura project (bar Dirge of Cerberus) is actually the work of the hippy in pic related, Kazushige Nojima.
(1/?)
Who wrote the shitty FF7 sequels?
Not Nomura, Nojima.

Who wrote the main series Kingdom Hearts?
Not Nomura, Nojima.

Who made the time ghosts?
Nojima.
Who cucked Byuu?
Nojima.
Nomura is blameless.
>Tetsuya Nomura: “It wasn’t just for Toy Box (Toy Story world) but I ended up writing everything as far as the scenario goes, including dialogue. This was never made public, but that’s generally how it’s been after Kingdom Hearts II, especially so starting with Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.”
Nomura cultists will turn a blind eye on everything that makes their idol looks like an idiot, lol. Go on, tell me how KH3D, KH3 and KH mobage written by Nomura don't have the worst narrative design ever.
Also, if Nomura thought that Nojima sucks like your crackpot theory says, why did he pick him to author Versus XIII you shitters deify?
I don't KH3D was mostly alright, I liked all that inception shit. Your right about KH3 and the mobage though.
I thought this was common knowledge, especially after the horrid post X-2 FFX stuff.
Dude just lost it after the PS2 era.
He wrote Dragon's Dogma though.
My mistake - he wrote Dragon's Dogma Online
Dragon dogma is not a well written game either?
Its the gameplay, and sense of adventure that makes that game great not its completely generic forgettable plot that only works because multiple characters are moronic
>Dragon dogma is not a well written game either?
It actually is at least the main plot, but it was a mistake, he only wrote Dragon's Dogma Online.
>not a well written game
learn to read dumbass, yes it is well written. the fact that you think nojima was anywhere near the original plot of DD proves you shouldn't even have opinions on the quality of RPG narratives. have a nice day, or at least
>statement ending with question mark, like a passive aggressive zoomie?
sad
The horrid post x-2 stuff was Nojima's revenge for the horrid x-2 stuff he was forced to take part in, he didn't want a happy ending
You dumb fricking moron go look what the difference between a story and a scenario writer is
Nomura isn't credited for story design for any of the projects listed above. You lose.
It foes both ways. Nomura gets credited with the "good" games, like FF7.
You guys are idiots.
Realize that people can use their name as a BRAND.
"Stephen King" is a brand name. You think Stephen King writes everything himself? He doesn't it.
You think Neil Gaiman does everything himself? WHEN? He's all over the place.
You think "Schizokun" is really 1 person? Posting back to back nonstop for weeks? About every Square Enix game ever. Just. How?
It's the same thing with Nojima. When they credit Nojima, they're really crediting his writing company Stellavista Ltd.
Japan is notorious for ghostwriting. Not to mention it's hard to gauge writing team contributions. Imagine the credits:
The MC's eye color - Intern #1
Marketing - The bawd that works for a magazine publisher (paid in sex)
In loving memory of the guy who died 10 years ago before the project began. Please don't haunt us as we rehash your work as "legacy".
This guy's pretty much spot-on. Squeenix is very much about the brand, just like Konami used to be with Kojimbo. Nomura got top billing on a lot of products because he was one of the only guys to emerge unscathed after the Spirits Within backlash, boosting his relevance thanks to being one of the 15 leads working on FFVII and thus becoming the de facto heir of that IP and the gameplan to milk it to save the company.
>because he was one of the only guys to emerge unscathed after the Spirits Within backlash,
Not really, others who were involved in those decisions continued fine after gooch left and Kitase/Hashimoto ascended to the tippy top and retained a cancerous vice grip on the series.
The real truth is that once they lost gooch they started to utterly bleed talent, Matsuno had his breakdown and left, Ito took over Matsuno's XII and got locked in a basement for a decade as punishment for making TWO MEGAFLOPS COMPARED TO KUSOGE KITASE PUMPED OUT. They lost a lot of art & their sound team over that period too. The talent vacuum was so dire that we saw people like Toriyama head up four games.
Externally, their partners they were working with kept closing down like we saw with Cavia and while some would eventually make it back over the years when a studio shutters it's talent still spreads out.
They're not doing bad now, they have some new talent, retained some and we've seen more partnerships form with good games like 4wol, bravely, octopath etc work out and even though Cavia disappeared into the mist and became AQ & Marvelous and it's devs splintered off to Toylogic they still managed to wrangle Saito & Taro, pump out a Nier sequel, contract a remaster and cash in w/ gacha.
Nojima's just one of those shitters who was involved in all the cancer Kitase/Hashimoto projects that stuck around, just like Toriyama & Tabata, almost every writer he's worked with on those kusoge is just as bad and has helmed or worked on a solid flop too.
People who have been reading the credits over the years and lived through the push to more creator focused works saw his name as a red flag tho and see Nomura as seifu.
>You think "Schizokun" is really 1 person?
It is 1 person, and he has no life and no schizo pills. It's been ongoing since 2020, and on Ganker since before that.
Fact check: I've been called Schizo-kun and I never post on Ganker
Source: I'm me.
The schizo moron went hard for 2+ weeks at a time for 6 months before he even became a known entity here. It's funny seeing "people" now pretend otherwise. newbies or schizo attempting to save face and change the narrative. You be the judge. Schizo thread, by the way. The Nomura, Nojima and Stellavista topic is something he enjoys. Now enjoy a week of schizoposting.
Tell me more about Stellavista, schizokun.
Is schizokun what they call ff15kun now?
If so then he's been at it for much longer than 2020, the stench of him single handedly killed final fantasy threads for nearly half a decade
The REAL schizokun is the anon that refuses to talk about games and just likes to throw names around, posting screenshots of every thread he's posted in but never contributed to and "didn't read"
Posts like these show the inner workings of a criminal.
>N-No, YOU'RE the shitposter. Not ME!
better take a screenshot for evidence.
No, /vrpg/ has FF8 schizo/FF schizo/lore schizo/schizo-kun. Barry doesn't use this board.
Ghostwriting is just old-school ChatGPT.
What successful writers had were human resources. Teachers, Editors, Beta-readers.
Not everyone has access to that. Then ChatGPT came along and suddenly publishers are flooded with submissions. They're banning like 500+ people a month.
They tried using AI to scan for AI-involved work - which they say isn't reliable because it detects "verified and known" authors as bots.
>You think "Schizokun" is really 1 person?
>schizo attempts to gaslight /vrpg/ again
haha.... nice try.
"Schizokun" is just their shitty marketing team trying to astroturf Xeno tier continuity into otherwise unrelated Square franchises.
DC did the same thing with the "Hypercrisis" years back, which directly caused GamerGate and therefor Trump.
>Realize that people can use their name as a BRAND.
That doesn't seem to be the case anymore, especially not in light of the differentiation of Mitsuda and Procyon. Granted he might just be doing that because of the sweet Mariam Abounnasr pussy.
It's true.
>t. Writer for games for 15 years.
*Cracks knuckles*
Here we go. Rpg Maker Project #304
Prologue:
In the beginning there were 3 goddess. Think Legends of Zelda. Don't think I'm copying them.
One of them created the ocean.
From that ocean the main character washed ashore. She or he or them or Zor had amnesia and couldn't remember anything except their personal pronouns. But they're definitely male because there are only 2 genders. The MC had corrective surgery resulting in 1 or 2 penis. With 2, the player would be sorted into house Hemipene. With only 1, they'd be sorted into house turtle neck or house toadstool depending on if they were circumcised.
Oh, that gives me a new idea
*pops neck*
Rpg Maker Project #305
In the land of Memeopolis, everyone lived rent free...until ChatGPT eclipsed the sky and threatened their heck'n valid way of life.
The real schizo was posting crap about greek mythology, tarot cards, and alchemy.
Wasn't it Nomura who had the idea that FFXV should be a musical? Also, since he's Nojima's boss, he signs off on everything Nojima does.
Really, it's frustrating to me that Square killed the Deus Ex HR team because that game didn't sell as much as Call of Duty did, but give Nomura basically everything he wants to create more moronic shit that bombs. FFXIV is the only thing keeping Square-Enix alive at this point.
>since he's Nojima's boss,
He isn't, you fricking idiot.
He is in the context of some games, kingdom hearts and ff7R come to mind where he was a director, specifically a director focused on story with 7R
>Everything you know about Square-Enix is a lie
You mean they have actually released something good since they became squeenix? Damn, I feel so lied to! What was it?
>actually released something good since they became squeenix?
Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria.
Nomura introduces moronic story concepts and nojima writes moronicly around them, they are both an issue
Nomura has signed off on every single homosexual, cuckold thing Nojima has ever written. He could have stopped it all at any time. He didn't.
>signed off on
No, the executive producer did, which is usually Kitase.
I hate Square and the cults of personality surrounding its big names.
"Character Assassination" are something you do to fictional characters.
It doesn't matter who's doing what. What matters is the fricking suits have their own vision of each game, and everyone else has to find a way to make the pieces fit. After all at the end of the day they're just employees. And the problem with Squeenix suits is they want to pander to west, the Japanese market can go to hell, kawaii Final Fantasy is deader than dead, and every game has to look like Skyrim on LSD.
>KH3 is 4 years old
>Yozora game is nowhere to be seen
We are eating good... Right, Nomura bros?
Kingdom Hearts 3 was good. I'm excited for Verum Rex. I think 7R has some very interesting ideas. I don't want FFX-3 to be made, but if it is, I hope the team is given creative freedom and makes something with passion.
<3
Do any KH fans remember when the trailer for KH3 came out and teased aqua being possessed nomura was like "i thought people would be more exited about frozen and shit"? Like wtf? I didn't play kingdom hearts for fricking olaf.
I jizzed my pants.jpg
So much porn potential with possessed Aqua too.
And it lasts like 5 minutes.
>And it lasts like 5 minutes.
One of KH3's biggest failings was the contractual obligation with Disney to simply recreate famous scenes from their movies and then move on.
No room to change shit or Didney lawyers would be all over Nomura's ass.
Nomura is the King of KINO. FF will be dead until it is given fully to him.
Who's in charge Nomura or Nojima? Nojima is one of the many employees of Nomura, everything Nojima does has to be approved by Nomura.
Just as the boss takes credit for the work of his employees, so does he take the blame.
Yes. Nojima is based as frick. KH has always been mess of a story.
Yeah but its Nomura's job is to wrangle in this moron. Like Nomura's superiors in the past
