Nomura should have been allowed to do FFXV without distractions. Now we gotta see his vision through Disney themed lenses. The first few FFXV trailers were very different than the final product we ended up getting.

No thank you.

Nomura was literally the reason that vsXIII never finished, and languished in development hell for years until he was taken off the project and it was rebooted as XV under a new game director who had to salvage and reuse as much as he could from Nomura's assets and work and put out a game. This is not to trash Nomura, but vs. XIII was a concept of a game, with tech demos, it but never a game built on a solid foundation.

Nomura is talented in many ways, but he has let projects overwhelm him in the past, and seems best positioned as a producer or scenario and art lead rather than the game director.
