Despite his involvement in these games, he did not write the story for the games himself. You're speaking as though he's a writer. "As you see it" he's the main offender. I.E. you were biased against him in the first place. Of course you're going to blame anything that you think is wrong with the game on him whether it be with art direction or gameplay or story.

And not everyone hates Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, and KH. You think all these games fail. A lot of other people enjoy them.

Let me guess, you've hated Nomura since FFVII came out, right? Nevermind that he's been working on FF since FFV, which seems to be one of your favorites.

You presume much, anon. Check out some of the interview info on [livejournal.com profile] ff_compilations to see where he comments on Dissidia's characters and story. He's not credited as a writer, no, but he had a lot of say in what characters were involved and how they were portrayed.

Also, Nomura was the monster / job outfit designer in FFV. He had nothing to do with the story there. |: My low opinion of Nomura came when he started getting heavily involved in the story of the games. Others may enjoy them; I don't.

So in other words, you're not happy with the new direction that Square Enix is going in. Which I will admit a lot of long time fans including myself aren't, either.

I still don't think he's solely the one to blame for Terra's characterization in Dissidia. What about other people working on Dissidia? You're just singling him out because you already have something against him.

I just think it's stupid when people single out Tetsuya Nomura as though he's the only one on the development team capable of making mistakes. That is what I can't stand about Nomura bashers. Anything bad is automatically his fault. That's the same kind of argument I come across when people bash him.

Amusingly enough, I know a lot more people that enjoyed Crisis Core than Revenant Wings. Not that personal experience is much of a measure, but your assumption that any game Nomura plays a part in development sucks is most likely based on data gathered in a similar matter. In other words, things you've heard from similar-minded friends.

I was hardly impressed by Terra's characterization in Dissidia, either. Interestingly enough, the first thought that crossed my mind wasn't, "Damn you, Nomuraaaaaaaaa!"

To be honest, I don't think any of us can really know who was responsible for writing the story's script and plot. Thus, blaming Tetsuya Nomura is essentially an accusation without sound evidence based on bias.
