Meh. At this point, SE wants to get game development for both FFXV and KH3 going forward, because FFXV has turned into a Duke Nukem Forever scenario. Nomura needs to be focused on one project or the other, because their resources being spread too thin is part of why these games get delayed.

To be fair, that doesn't really mean much of anything in software development. % are just ways of making people feel good about it. :P

I like Nomura but he deserves this. Honestly what has he been doing since the announcement of FF Versus XIII or all of last gen in fact?

Nomura has never been unable to deliver critically acclaimed games with a reasonable amount of time. Versus / XV problem were / are much more than a single person, it is a problem of a company and the obvious  mismanagement. People with comments like "good decision" has no idea what they are talking about :)

The simplest answer is not necessary the right one.

Well that's quite the list.  Then at least next time he should've stayed focus on FF Versus XIII, alot of those games probably didnt even start til after the "start" of FF Versus XIII.  But im going to guess it was the higher ups that pushed him away from Versus?

Awww, poor guy. :(

We don't know the circumstances though. Versus full production began in September 2011, and then SE announced the company will use its resources to finish XIV: a Realm Reborn . Why Versus production didn't begin before 2011 ? we simply don't know. but SE made A LOT of bad decisions in the period. Also, finishing XIII saga was clearly A priority over Versus / XV. So...

Well i hope SE is making the right decision by taking Nomura off FFXV.  Good to see that SE is starting to show promises of an actual release of KH3 and FFXV.  Lets hope they're worth the wait.

I respect Nomura, but it's been 8 years. Something needed to happen.
