Nomura did not have a director role back then, but he did have a word to say on the table of FFVII creation.

I don't think sakaguchi would as good now if he kept doing Final Fantasy games for 10 years. It seriously kills creativity.

And FFX was awesome. Without sakaguchi. 

And Scalable difficulty is always a solution, too, plus FFVII was kinda easy.

Kitase is getting old too.

Square really needs new heads. Yoshida is a good example. He did awesomely well on 2.0


I don't think that would kill his creativity, he has actually made a lot of other games outside of Final Fantasy, even then.  

This is every game he's worked on since Final Fantasy.  After the first 5 entries, Final Fantasy becomes almost scarce.  Even if all he made was Final Fantasy, then he'd still be far better than most.  Final Fantasy isn't as grounded to a set of rules as a lot of other franchises are.  There are recurring themes, but just about every game has new characters, new stories, etc.

He didn't have a lot of direct roles, but still.


I know about that. I'm just saying they need fresh blood on Final Fantasy serie. How can that be a bad thing ?

 

Edit : And always games made by the same people prevents (even more) original and innovative works.
