Lol, I forgot about that. Square leadership seems like a real mess. 

If you read the actual interview that quote comes from, Nomura was always part of the FF7 remake team. He just assumed Kitase was the director while Kitase wanted him to be the director. Part of this is because Nomura was the one who wanted to make an FF7 remake years before. That said, Nomura doesn't direct anything by himself anyways. So I wouldnt say that is proof that work is being thrust upon him.

Ya he knew he always wanted to be a part of the game, but probably thought he'd just give some points here and there because he was already busy dealing with KH3 and FFXV so he would have never thought he'd be directing FFVII remake.  But then to just suddenly give him the role of director unknowingly is a huge difference. 

Probably that's why ultimately they had him drop FFXV and gave it to Tabitha because doing 3 huge games at once was going to be too much workload.  And again, they shifted his position around from one game to another.

I do a lot of project managing in my field and it's horrible juggling between projects only to get taken off one to start a new one out of the blue.  So trying to put myself in his position would be really stressful and im sure his position is a million times harder than mine.
