Nomura is SE last hope, Yoshida is ok too. Also Nomura is designing new bosses for upcoming FFXIV raids. SE really have the guy working overtime.

lol, absolutely not. No one can deny his talents, especially as a character designer but all of his recent projects have been convoluted mess from a story perspective & his gameplay ideas haven't really evolved with the times. 

Personally I would love to see Hiroyuki Ito direct another game, without stakeholders trying to force JRPG tropes into his narrative. But ultimately the idea that Square has to cling to one of these guys is probably part of the problem. 

that is an interesting backhanded compliment for the guys work. I never expected that from you.
