KH1 was good because it wasn't bogged down with constant "OH but then..." moments with terms and words thrown at you which have no meaning in wider context. FF7R was not a good story or well written, ever other line was anime 'sigh' noise, plus the end is just jibberish. By name, Kojima is more widely known, for sure which is good overall but outside the gaming world, how many creators are really known? Sid Meier? John Romero? List isn't long. Not like movie directors or book writers. |
Absolutely agreed. I certainly did not want to say that outside gaming Kojima is better known than Nomura. Both are more or less unknown as far as I can tell.
And it is quite disappointing to hear FF7s shortcommings like that. Did you play the original? And was that different from the remake concerning the anime-esque stuff and jibberish ending? No spoilers please.
And for what it is worth, I think Kojima is a far better director and writer than Nomura, who seems like an infinitely weirder dude with far less acomplishments to look back on. But Nomura also would not get a special E3-Moment, descending floating light-tiles to announce his new game. Their status and clout within the gaming community seems defferent to me, insofar as Kojima's is more inflated.
