>Nomura: I ended up with more Final Fantasy characters than I thought. At first I planned that there would be less. Well, as I kept making the story, I thought about which characters to put in each role, and there were many places where Disney characters would not fit in. For example, I couldn’t think of any Disney characters to put in as the Destiny Island children. When I thought about which character would guide Sora in Traverse Town, nothing struck me. Then I thought I should just make new characters, but they would just show up once in awhile and they would not be as appealing as the Disney characters around them. Since that was the case, I came upon the idea of using Final Fantasy characters to choose which characters that would fit the roles. When it came to choosing who would be the swordsman who guides Sora, I believed that Squall fit the role the best.

Nomura doesn't want to put in Final Fantasy characters anymore because his passion project Versus was redone from his vision so he has disowned the entire franchise from KH.

well are you going to post a link to the interview or what?

fucking lmao how the fuck can people so incompetent get so far in this shitty industry

He's talking about the elevator story, which has been diluted through the years
>The initial idea for Kingdom Hearts began with a discussion between Shinji Hashimoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi about Super Mario 64.[113] They were planning to make a game with freedom of movement in three dimensions like Super Mario 64 but lamented that only characters as popular as Disney's could rival a Mario game. Tetsuya Nomura, overhearing their conversation, volunteered to lead the project and the two producers agreed to let him direct.[113] A chance meeting between Hashimoto and a Disney executive in an elevator (Square and Disney had previously worked in the same building in Japan) allowed Hashimoto to pitch the idea directly to Disney.

anti nomura fags are really something. they make up retarded shit and then believe it lmfao

Nomura isn't shitty though. He is a top notch character designer who consistently puts out amazing work. Unfortunately Japanese company structure ascended him into a role he is not suited for. At least he is legitimately god tier at one important skill. I will always defend Nomura's talent compared to total talentless hacks like Kojima.

You're a pathetic bootlicker, and the reason KH has gone down the shithole

>the OCs are why we're getting less Final Fantasy
We need an OC genocide.
Kill off every Organization member to start.

Noruma's autistm after having versus taken from him. He is throwing his toys out if the cot
Final Fantasy characters impacted Sora's story as much as Disney characters, no cope will change this

>Final Fantasy characters impacted Sora's story as much as Disney characters
He threw them in because he was lazy

>second sentence
Very true. FF characters were extremely important to Roxas, too. Seifer is literally Roxas' playful nemesis/bully.

>Nomura wasn't allowed to put Laguna in Birth by Sleep because he had already appeared in Dissidia Duodecim
I feel like there must be some stupid restrictions to using FF characters in KH and Nomura doesn't want to bother anymore

>Nomura wasn't allowed
He said that was his own choice.

>It was a weird dream between Kh3 and 4
Wow, so fucking hard, Noruma

I feel like he may be more leaning on the "is Sora, essentially a disney character, really fitting for a purely non licensed gaming ip crossover, fitting?"

Well guess I'm never playing a kingdom sharts ever againz thanks for warning me nomura

Doesn't matter. They are in the story and they mattered. If they didn't matter, he wouldn't have attached them to one of the most important worlds in the series (Radiant Garden)

> Fortnite shovels soulless versions of every character under the sun.
Any Forums: More daddy more! Make Ryu do the funny dance! Naruto do the gun-no-jutsu! hue hue hue hue
> Nomura very carefully considers if Smash is the right place for Sora, is careful to ensure Nintendo treats KH well. End result is the perfect crossover, soul exploding from every corner
Any Forums: lel what a butthurt autismo fag jap

I will never understand you people.

whut? that's the whole appeal of the game. seeing FF character's alongside goofy disney ones. someone please get rid of this fat emo gook

>worlds in the series (Radiant Garden)
it was important because of the OC that lived there, not that the FF characters being there made it the sole reason it was important.

I mean, I get where he's coming from saying this. The original cast was built off Final Fantasy but indeed evolved into its own thing at this point. His excuse for not having more cameos in recent titles is BS, however. With the series taking a new direction, I'd actually hope that means there's more room for appearances in IV. I'd even just take Noctis fucking around.

Nomura accidentally made even just weird dreams be important plot points with gigantic repercussions since even before DDD

Hey, now that they've at least established how Sora can appear in the series, this means his chances of sticking around are actually feasible with this information in mind.
