Forums - Gaming - Game creator Tetsuya Nomura (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Square)

 

I've seen Tetsuya Nomura's name get thrown around a lot in arguments lately, he's a great mind in gaming, he's created a lot of games on a lot of different consoles.  The biggest thing that's been getting on my nerves is how people throw around their opinion that he's a Sony fanboy, claiming he loves Sony so much he want's all of his games as Sony exclusives, etc. It's just not true and the people that claim this have no idea what they're talking about and know nothing of the man, and probably just say those things to be a troll but not get banned for it cause their imaginary version of Tetsuya Nomura has only made Sony games, and that backs up their trollish claims.

I love the man and his work, he's helped create great games spanning sixteen years now, starting on SNES and now on the PS3 and 360.  He helped create three of my favorite Square games, FFVI, FFVII, and KH(series).  To say the man is a fanboy is an injustice, what he is, is a truly creative guy, he has lots of imagination, and should be seen as that.  He creates games on the consoles he sees suitable for his vision of that game.

Just a list of things he's worked on.

Yes much of his work is on Sony platforms but at the time those games went into the development S-E was supporting Sony a lot more then they are now, as you see the newer games start to get diverse again.  So really for those of you that think he's so hardcore for Sony get over it. I love that he's working on so many games on so many consoles, everyone deserves some of his work.  PS3 deserves some of his games just as much as 360, DS, PSP, and Wii does =)

Thanks.

Ehm.. He is first a character designer.. did that with all the FF until Xiii Versus.. the first game he directed was KH.. so great game creator: NO.. because he hasn't directed many games.. Great character designer... yes.. well most of the time... :)

I know but I love KH, and I read he did some things with the early Final Fantasy game like like non character design, I think it was story or QA wise... though thats been a while back =\ but I like him, he's a great artist.

Edit: you forgot about Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.
