I would actually be pretty mad if they just use this whole plot to a "hey gotchA!!" moment(s). Like, seriously. Turn up the heat and bring it.
for everything Cloud says, remember: he is 16 in his head. He was written that way, with care by Nojima. He is 16 and trying to put on a front,
What? Cloud has always been aware of his true age. Just because he was in a mako tube for 4-or-so years doesn't mean he didn't mature mentally. Or is this some confirmed info that Cloud acts as 16?
^tbh I think they've already went there :/
anyways I am just popping in here because I really like SuperEyePatchWolf, he makes some great content on YouTube. He has a podcast he does with 2 friends, and goes on a great rant that hits... on every feeling of frustration from when he starts on the spoilers.
It was cathartic for me
Niamh's more critical , as she didn't like it at all, and that starts at 1:15. The whole thing lasts about 30-40 minutes.
I mean, he's the director of the game, and his tropes can be felt in most of his titles.Can I have like, "Remake Frustration Frustration?" I know why people are doing it, but I'm getting so sick of listening to people talk about the game and hearing "It's all Kingdom Hearts Bullshit" or "Nomura's a fucking hack who ruined everything" Like this wasn't a big collaborative effort that involved hundreds of people. I understand not liking the ending, it is the absolute pinnacle of Square Enix divisiveness, but stop dog piling Nomura about everything.
going by the Ultimania, it's implied he had the most influence over the plot, now obviously others suggested things and I'm sure many ideas got rejected till the final product, and others didn't.If he were directing a bunch of relative nobodies that'd be one thing, but Kitase, Nojima and Toriyama and more have all been his associates and co-collaborators for over 20 years now. I'm sure they had their own weight to push around when it came to the direction of certain things, and I'm almost certain some of the most infamous parts of Remake were their ideas and not his. Did he have to approve of them? Yes. But when you've worked with people for so long, there's an implicit level of trust there. He's not going to second guess everything his colleagues wanted to do.
Well yes but actually noI just wonder how far that goes, then. Do we praise him for all of the game's high points, as well as ridicule him for the low points? He's the director, so most everything had to go through him. Does he get all the credit for all the music, all the graphics, all the writing? Is every last line of code given unto us by the great and terrible Tetsua Nomura? Is Nomura the sole person this project lives and dies on, the rest of the team be damned? He had to approve all the parts people liked too, after all.
I'm just not a fan of people putting all the weight onto one person; frankly, Nomura doesn't deserve all the "credit." This is a problem in the game industry at large, really. People treat Hideo Kojima like a God, failing to talk about anyone else who made the metal gear series what it was. People sure did think Keiji Inafune was Megaman's bread and butter until Mighty No. 9 turned into a total train wreck. These things are not made by one person.
I think the Kojima-Nomura comparison is a very fair one to make, and maybe it's just my take, but I think it extends to the reaction to their work as well. Nomura catches a lot of the criticism for his games, while Kojima catches most of the praise. And just like Nomura doesn't deserve all of the criticism, I don't think Kojima deserves all the praise. There's a middle ground that often gets lost in people's response to these creators as individuals rather than as leaders of a team.Speaking of video game auteurs, I've made the Kojima-Nomura comparison before. They share a similar flavour of absolute ridiculousness, so I don't really take issue when people describe things as "Kojima-bullshit" either. The level of Kingdom Hearts fuckery is only rivaled by Metal Gear Solid. I like Kojima though - I think he has a very honed cinematic eye, and some really interesting quality of ideas that Nomura lacks.
He is best known for writing several installments of Square Enix's Final Fantasy franchise—namely Final Fantasy VII and its spin-offs Advent Children and Crisis Core, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy X and X-2—in addition to the Kingdom Hearts series[1] and Glory of Heracles series.
