I enjoy most of the music we've heard so far from FFXV, but I'm with you on the daytime battle theme.
And Nomura will be known as all vision, no execution.
Not by anybody that follows the games he's made.

Sadly but he seems to be having a similar role in KH3 and more of a creative director. I am curious though exactly how much of his original vision is there since there seems like a lot so far is still there. But as long as we get the game that's all i care about and it seems like Tabata is the man for the job.
True, but I think his reputation for execution will be tarnished a bit albeit unfairly since it seemed like a ton of other stuff was happening behind the scenes that we will probably never know about for the most part or if at all.
A company doesnt decide anything in this area. It's the game's director.

Yep, hope it sells well if the game is really good.
Like the game's going to sell well for it's quality (and not for the demo) lol

My eyes have been spoiled by Nvidia gameworks. I really don't know whay I expected the buffaloid hair to move like with hairworks and grass to move like with Turf Effects.
PS4 - #18

Wow, FF XV is really selling the game after all
I wonder what they will bundle with FF Type-1. Probably a demo for FF XV-2

Yeah, he said that his schedule was booked until 2019 though, so he's still working on something. It also seems like members of the Type-0 development team replaced other XV leadership that came from KH1/2, so I'm hoping Nomugang is working on something other than KH entirely.
Nah, I think Nomura will be leaving Square around the time KH3 wraps up.

I'm not convinced that will be the case, but I'd be fine with that too if he went somewhere he could get funding for projects while still maintaining creative control.
Lol we know where the fanbase is
Even when the 360 was dominating in the US sales of FF often held 60% or more on PS3.
Oh no doubt. I think this gen it's going to be even more skewed though.

Hard to say. He recently said that he was booked in term of his work schedule up till 2019. So KH 3 will probably release after 2019
j/k
not really

That work doesn't mean work with Square. I'm sure a person as prestigious as Nomura would have no trouble at all lining up projects.

Well since the works mentioned in that article aren't exclusively for Square, I guess that dosn't mean that schedule includes work for Square or inside Square.

I have a feeling he'll be doing a lot of outside, personal projects.
More Miku for everyone?

battle system looks slow and like it takes no skill.
Wish they could just go back to FF10s battle system or FF4-FF9 battle systems. These action RPGs always end up as mashing X

The hell. I've beaten FFVII and what in there took skill outside of the final boss and optional bosses? This already seems much more dynamic and has potential to be a lot more deep.

The idea of any FF battle system requiring "skill" is hilarious. FF has always been ridiculously easy and accessible. If anything, the emphasis on real time input will actually make the gameplay somewhat interesting.
Hey at least you're not only holding it down.
But seriously can't say that without trying it first hand, also there could be various difficulty levels. And, as every RPG, the real skills are put into display during pre-battles

So do menu based RPGs. And with the exception of V and maybe hardtype IV, all of the FF games you cited are pretty easy outside of optional content.
And if you think all action RPGs amount to are mashing a button, well... I'd have to assume you haven't played many good action RPGs.
You'd be salty too if you were removed from your dream project.
For clarification's sake: What concrete evidence do we have suggesting that was the case?

Agreed, it was just wrong they should've just left Kitase in charge of KH3 ( which is what he's doing atm )
Relaxed Muscle

The fact he's not working on it anymore?
:/
Parrying needs skill and with the short warps and need for MP management certainly means that it requires at least some sort of skill. But I feel people are looking at this incorrectly: Is not a pure action RPG.

That Nomura himself said that it was a company decision for him to leave the project, and that his role in KH3 still isn't any more involved than it was when he was working on XV.

I think VI is better but anyways my point wasn't necessarily the best RPG ever just a great game that is well received. If it turns out to be absolutely mindblowing and amazing than that would be awesome.
Oh, you mean like... well... every other FF 95% of the time? Outside of boss battles you could always just mash "Attack" and use a healing spell or item once in a while. The most "strategic" it got was on "Oh, it's an ice monster, I have to use Fire" level which only involves three more button clicks. Replaying FFX recently made me realize how boring and repetetive most turn-based JRPGs are. I don't have the patience and time for that. I'd rather have something dynamic, snappy with an immediate feedback while playing that can also be deep if you want.
Take off the rose-tinted glasses, give new things a chance.
And by that its implied Nomura didn't have any desire to leave the project? My point is that perhaps he didn't consider it his dream project after some time...
The whole notion that Nomura got slighted by Square with FFXV doesn't seem valid to me.

If he wanted to leave the project he could have done so without the upper management asking him to leave it.
Why don't you just pre order the standard edition and get the demo? Unless you want the book and case.

Don't know if anyone posted yet, but Guardian Soul recreated the night battle theme.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS80ONAuUws&feature=youtu.be
It's too good.

"It was the company's decision. I can't say anymore than that."
http://www.novacrystallis.com/2014/09/nomura-comments-on-his-departure-from-final-fantasy-xv/
Not really much room for your interpretation. He was removed from the project and isn't even allowed to openly talk about it. End of story.

I don't know how else you can interpret somebody saying they were removed from a project, and that it wasn't his decision, but okay.
Ah, thanks for sourcing that. So according to this report, it seems it was the company's decision and not Noruma's at all. In other words, it wasn't a joint decision between Nomura and Square. I thought possibly Nomura may have been on board with this (due to possible development problems, etc), but whos to say.
Nomura, but he can't, because he's said all he can. If any part of it was his decision, you'd think he and Square would say so and not leave the stench of enmity around the project lingering.

It's okay, he's using his anger to develop KH3 which hopefully means everyone dies in the end.
"Nomura, but he can't, because he's said all he can." Precisely. And as for the rest of it, we can only speculate.

Oh, I missed that one, thanks!
You're doing great work there GuardianSoul, these are pretty good recreations.
Your dedication to recreate this game's soundtrack is truly something else man.
