Hey everyone, as I have been reading articles on Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 15, one thought crossed my mind: think about how much pressure Nomura must be under. He is developing two of the biggest gaming titles in history at the same time. People keep asking him what worlds will be in KH, and how FF 15 will be different from the rest of the series. If he doesn't deliver the most that will please everyone, then these games will be deemed as failures by fans and critics alike. Look, I'm excited for these games just as much as you all, but we really should drop our high expectations for them. I mean we are finally getting KH3, Nomura could have left it just at Kingdom Hearts 2, but because he cares about the fans so much, he kept pushing forward. There's nothing wrong with being excited, but I don't think we should blame him for not putting out information, because I'm sure that he is working very hard on them.

Nomura's health is fine. If he deteriorates because he is rushing during crunch time then maybe him and his co-workers should have been more efficient these past 8-10 years. If his health was a concern they had multiple opportunities to cancel this game.

I'm kind of 50/50 on this.

 

I would rather wait a while and see a game in top form and condition then to see it rushed beyond belief and lose quality. However at the same time, this is a business and it is harsh. Especially anything dealing in entertainment industry. There is always a risk and pressure when it comes to trying to please somebody to by entertaining them. Anythime you're in that field, expectations are always going to go above and beyond because in the long run, people are paying their money to be entertained.

 

I don't really follow all that Nomura is busy with so I don't know the reasons or details for why the game has taken so long. But as far as I'm concerned, it's almost like wine that's being fermented and aged. Comes with the quality.

 

10 years is a long time though...
