I think it's missing the point to act as though Tabata is getting all the blame for how FFXV turned out
I do think Tabata retains much of the blame because he was brought on to fix the game just like Yoshi-P was given FFXIV. Ultimately no one can really get blamed for the problems of FFXV and SE in general though besides the suits. So that's whatever.
In a post-FFXV world, my feelings about the two as directors is fairly unchanged. Nomura's games are habitually goofball affairs mixed with a dose of convolution and Edgelord 101, and in spite of that he has made action games that are very fun, but he has a tendency to overstretch his ambition. Tabata is an average handheld game director who seems to sacrifice narrative for gameplay fairly often, doesn't know how to deal with women and who also oversaw one of the greatest travesties in SE's catalog in the past decade.
Kingdom Hearts' greatest flaw will always be the platform hopping and platform exclusivity of various titles throughout the lifespan of the franchise. It made it nearly impossible for anyone but the most dedicated fan to play all of the games.

Type 0 PSP and Crisis Core are not garbage games, they were some of the best received FF games of the 2000's, its revisionist history to say they weren't well regarded
This isn't a strong argument. Games get reevaluated, and later revaluations of Type-0 have not been kind to it. The gameplay is pretty good, but parts of it are weak, particularly the narrative which is off-the-rails stupid in many spots.Since when did Type 0 and Crisis Core became garbage ?
This is an even less compelling argument. Japan voted beloved FFXIII protagonist, Lightning as their favorite character of the franchise. I'm not going to hold up that fanbase as emblematic of great tastes.With Type 0 I was talking the original PSP version which was well received critically in Japan. To the point it won most popular FF game among Japanese fans at the time. Which was a big reason there was such a push to bring it over and remaster in for the PS4in the first place.
As convoluted as the narrative is in those games, this is a needlessly and stupidly drawn chart just for the sake of going "hur Kingdom Hearts."
