Alright! Now that he's putting aside FFXV, KH3 will come out sometime during this lifetime and I won't have to be frozen and re-awoken in a century or two.


(for those of you who don't get what I'm saying, I'm making fun of the fact that Square Enix is EXTREMELY slow at releasing games)

I am both overjoyed and... shocked. I always saw FFXV and KHIII as a kind of set, mostly between being advertised alongside eachother, both taking notoriously long to be developed and, the fact that Nomura was working on both (Even saying what didn't make it into KH3 was planned to be added to FFXV). Now that Nomura has left XV, I find myself wondering how that image will hold up. They might not be released as close to each other anymore, heck XV might wind up extremely different in certain aspects. True, it's late in development for XV and they would be a little hard pressed to make any changes that are too extreme, but... well you people know how development can be (probably better than I do actually).

This is...unexpected. But I'm not complaining. While I am looking forward to FFXV, I'm looking forward to KHIII WAAAY more, so this is extremely good news imo if it means quicker development of the game.

While kinda sad to see Nomura leave, I felt like it was the best for them to "move things along", as a lack for better term. Glad the Type-0 guy is in charge though, especially hearing very decent feedback from the game a few years back. Sensing it will also tie in more with the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos thing they've been kind of hinting at since it was announced almost a decade ago (yikes...).

But I wouldn't blame Nomura if he felt overwhelmed with these two big titles, especially with one of them being in a sort of development hell. I hope this Square-Enix waiting game will reach closer to a satisfying conclusion.

Let's just hope Final Fantasy XV is still a great game after this change. Been looking forward to that since its first appearance.

I think Nomura made the right choice. Kingdom Hearts has not had as much focus as Final Fantasy has had in recent years, and the Final Fantasy team can manage without him. Kingdom Hearts needs him.

hoping that doesn't effect ff15 to much really looking forward to it

Thank God.

Consider me hype for this. I haven't liked a Nomura directed game in ages. MEANWHILE... This guy made Crisis Core. You have my sale, FFXV[DOUBLEPOST=1411332800][/DOUBLEPOST]

Square just hates success. It's the only reason I can imagine keeping him and Kitase out of the director's chair

...

Weird, I did not know about his coded legacy. Still, Crisis Core. He is forgiven.

That said, I know, and I didn't like KHII personally *HEATHEN*. Just found it too simple, and I didn't like the narrative much. Love KH1 and CoM, but KHII and I don't mesh well.

Wait, vanilla Coded or Re:Coded, lol? If it's the latter I'm a little more forgiving since Re:coded was pretty fun gameplay wise (and also let you change difficulty level whenever you felt like it~).

Crisis Core was a masterpiece; he definitely has a solid resume to be the directer then.
