| Hiku said: What you're describing has more to do with the producer than the director. And Nomuras's role as director in the aformentioned games has been on and off. He is working on a lot of big games simultaneously so I'm not comnfortable putting much blame on him as that's not a normal working situation. |
In a sense yes, but realistically no. A producer's job is to be the link between the projec and higher ups - reporting milestones, having to report setbacks, asking for more time/staff/money ext. If you have pre modonna's like Nomura/Kojima/Ueda directing the development of a game and they are stubborn about ensuring (we dont want to show the game till its perfect! for years we got that answer) a vison, then its out of the producer hands. A big part ogf XV development was Nomura's insistence on perfecting his .... crazy visions . That ment holding the development back for ages.
