Era is definitely going to pretend that this quote doesn't exist when criticizing nomura in other threads
The truth revealed

Thank God for Nomura and Hamaguchi.
People on this forum will still complain about Nomura anyway.

Nomura's apparently the reason this isn't an action game, too. Like the RPG elements and ATB stuff is something he had to push for.
let's also not forget, that it was Hamaguchi that pushed for a stronger Sepiroth Presence in the Remake and
the Boss Fight with him

As always, the lesson here is to stop making up narratives regarding video game developers. This trend that turns these people into one note cartoon characters is pretty tiring.
I'm pretty sure Kitase & Nojima also wanted in the OG FFVII to have everyone but Cloud & two chosen party members die when you parachute back into Midgar. As many problems as I have with Nomura irt KH, he's been a very good influence on both OG FVII & Remake.
I really appreciate what he's seemingly done for Remake, but man, those two things are among my most disliked ones in this game.
Nomura has always had a great respect for what has come before, hell even in Dissidia during it's development one of the big things he pushed was the use of Amano stylings for the majority of the cast despite Nomura's own versions being the most recognizable/known for many of the cast.
So it's not all that shocking he tried to keep it faithful.

This wont stop the majority of the forum from making the two jokes they have about nomura and kojima though, some people think after years of it being repeated its still a needed a post lol

I think I'm part of the silent majority that really enjoyed the changes that were made, but I'm indeed glad they didn't go further with it. Thought it struck a solid balance between old and new.
I wouldn't mind it if the jokes were still funny and fresh but yeah, it's been recycled to death through drive-by pots, etc.
Basically all of the "Nomura redeemed!" folks. The hot take is that Nomura is responsible for all of the bad stuff--or it was the hot take--and this doesn't really say anything either way. All it says is that Kitase wanted to make more sweeping changes, not what kind.
fwiw I don't think Nomura is a particularly good writer but he's respectful towards source material and that's rad.
But it wasn't
If NoRmUa had his way
there would have been no Sephiroth fight at the end
Y'all gotta stop demonizing devs
I don't believe him. maybe he is telling the truth, maybe he is not.
Kitase was never very honest about Final Fantasy development, do you remember Versus XIII progressing well??
I think Japanese developers in general are not very honest when talking to media. they will just tell you what you want to hear. Nomura is the game's director and will probably direct the sequels too, so it is not good for SE if negativity started to surround him.

Based on what? They never said the ending wasn't Nomura's idea. You guys are jumping to conclusions.
Kitase wanting major changes to Midgar does NOT mean that Kitase is responsible for every change the fanbase hates. Of course, it doesn't mean Nomura is necessarily responsible for the bad changes either. Even though it seems likely.
Negativity?
the game scored very well and even the ending while it does have its detractors was met by a lot of praise and fan love as well.
This comment even if he said Nomura wanted to change more wouldn't be negative. There is literally zero reason to think he is lying or covering for Nomura.
Uhm, I'm not actually demonizing no-one, my post has a valid point and I wasn't even talking about the final boss encounter (which I personally liked and thought it was well inserted).
I understand it has been a pretty heated debate discussing the Remake choices since it released, but maybe if you guys didn't see every Final Fantasy thread as a battleground to throw stuff at individual professionals we might start getting discussions that don't turn into black or white stances.
You do you, Nomura and Kitase. Don't listen to the fans. They will still probably buy your game.
I don't really have an opinion on this until I learn about what changes he wanted compared to what Nomura wanted and whatever. The problem with the story wasn't the inherent notion of there being changes but rather what those changes were.
