Why are Americans so disgusted by the games he makes? Is it just his style?
Why are Americans so disgusted by the games he makes? Is it just his style?
>sales
seems americans are his second largest market, eurotrash-kun
But that's why his newest games flopped and Square Enix is afraid of marketing games to that region now unless they're Marvel or Luminous. I'm sure Europe has a slightly larger tolerance for this stuff but then again I might be wrong.
It's one thing to watch a short cringy video on the internet, another to pay 70 dollars to play a 60 hour cringe game
Just what is up with this country and its obsession with cringe and irony?
but europe has a much much smaller installbase and buy rate
so they kind of dont factor in when talking about large games, since the region isnt going to save any title, especially when offset by the cost of the PAL 5 language localization required for a market even smaller than SA which needs only 2
he's like Synder, he values flash/style over substance
Are you here to talk about flop games or just compare your flop country to its liege?
Like at least come up with a barb, or have the OP be about something that doesn't highlight how your region doesn't matter to anyone in the world.
too sincere. he needs to have a ryan renoylds voiced character say "ermm so that just happened" to break tense moments.
He's always one or two terrible design decisions away from making something cool. Needs someone to tell him when he's doing something fucking dumb.
That actually makes a lot of sense user thank you, like there's FIGS vs two types of Spanish.
Maybe I'm thinking of Pitchford and Howard popped off with all the white kids in my neighborhood and Square Enix found massive success tailoring FF15 to that market.
>Like at least come up with a barb
Sometimes I actually consider leaving but there are way too many people I care about to get out of my even state
I dont know who this is or what OP is referring to
He just needs someone to write a proper bri'ish dialogue and change his name to something like, Ishikawa. Then XIV niggers will jump up and down hyping him up.
How old are you? I'm surprised you don't know who Nomura Tetsuya is.
>of my even state
* of even just my state
I will consider sewerside. Consider, not commit.
if the game is voiced, its actually a loss to publish in europe
thats why the us version localization was always bundled with pal release unless there was a censorship hiccup, been that way since ps1
39
i know who he is, never seen him. his last relevant work was 20 years ago, like anyone else associated with square
If for some reason you didn't enjoy 12 user I think you might now, a lot of its fans are in their late 20s to your age. Went over my head when I first played it 10 years ago I'm 27 now
JOMON
>if you didn't enjoy this bad game when it came out you might now
what? lol
square is just bad/irrelevant after ff8 man. company ended with ff8. ff12 is an insult to the name, like every other post 8 ff
Isn't Nomura himself Yayoi?
>if you didn't enjoy this bad game when it came out you might now
That's exactly what happened to me
i went back to 12 when it came back on steam for 10 dollhairs
probably my favorite one now
i like how vaan is a wannabe hero, in the party with the main characters of other parties
nails that sort of arabian nights/treasure island feel
like of course he comes into his own, but the amount of care that went into everyones plot sold the "kid in the shadow of the greats" vibe
the steam revision is a little easy for my taste due to being able to use all job boards for free stats
but i really like the combat, gambits are a tard filter and the ATB hybrid feels good
I dunno man, I'm a gameplay guy. Story also must've been nothing to write home about because basically nobody has talked about it in history. I hear the main character barely exists.
Most Americans do not like dark/edgy anime, the topics seem uncomfortable to them. The mannerisms of anime characters are also not viewed positively. Edginess is allowed in small doses and with layers of irony
You might like the Gambit system. It involves you a bit more than you think, because you make most of the automating choices yourself and also die a lot of the time because yes, using Gambits are a skill to master.
There was this one guy I think it was that Stellafag namefag who says that the best thing to do is to use Gambits on your party members but disable them on your active party member. I guess it helped me since Technicks and Gambits always failed on me whenever I tried them out.
It will sell well at a lower price.
im not gonna play ff12 bro. thanks for the attempt though
>americans
Not even nips like his games lmao
why do you euros think you know anything about america?
death note dtb gantz ajin narutaru and the like perform better over here than over there
in fact, all anime does
why is it always some backwater deep one acting like he's an expert?
One day user...
one day...
*sheds a tear*
Stranger of Paradise is clearly trying really hard to appeal to Americans in a very Japanese way.
Are you sure? I keep thinking it's Nomura clearly trying really hard to appeal to adults in a very Nomurish chuuni child way not that i'm complaining
Only because fujos got him recognized in Japan first. Without them FF8 would have flopped in total sales.
Don't think so at all. It's squarely for japanese/weebs.
The people that hate Nomura are fucking morons who know little or nothing of his work, art, and contributions to Final Fantasy and Square Enix itself over the years, and know even less about the respect he commands in the business over there
Where's the quippy snarky Whedon/MCU style writing you found like the banter in XV and Forspoken? The toning down of sensitive topics because American kids hate edge? Those things seem absolutely necessary to be successful in the US or at least overly influential American ecelebs
you realize what a stupid and preposterous cope that is right?
>a minuscule amount of economically destitute social recluses spurred on tens of millions of sales pre-social media
it was the fact that the company and series was legendary stateside after ff4/6 CT and Mana and they rode that out to the ps1 where they one tapped a hit that cemented them as a titan
had nothing to do with this bizarre fanfiction youve spun up in your head to attempt to salvage a bafflingly retarded demonstrable falsehood
square was already a platinum dev in the US long before nine fat shutins drew terrible art on a site that wouldnt exist for a decade after the game's release
all of this cope you weave to try to circumvent the point, the european market doesnt matter to anyone but the hypersmall indies and the gofundme scammers
>The toning down of sensitive topics because American kids hate edge?
*because the Chinese will not give you money if your game concerns death as a central theme, and drawing power from the dead
wheres the european Yea Forums?
americans love edge, dipshit
Incidentally NEO and 7R were not released in China.
But I'm also sure white Christian kids would've hated the whole thing with Etro. Death Note was only popular in coastal America and it's already less popular than most battle shounens and people said it was too dark when I was in high school so I was the only one that liked it back then in my local weeb circle back then
Then why do mass market MCU moviegoers (especially Amerisharts) complain about The Batman being too serious and edgy?
had Versus XIII launched in 2011, it might've been a profitable game, not a smash hit by any means.
>im sure (retarded nonsense)
bit of a fanfiction writer yourself arent you?
i dont know why you specified white (i do, shitskin)
but yeah the games those kids play are far more violent and edgy than their contemporaries
GTA, manhunt, sof, castlevania
these things were and are staples
the american zeitgeist IS edge, but again im talking to someone whos watching us from the other side of the glass, across town
who did? why do you keep coping about being irelevent? you come from a shithole where opinions can be illegal, so you log onto an edgelord american site to bitch about how americans arent "Edgy enough"
are you even for real
So it would've been the NEO of that decade.
To think people are already avoiding NEO and calling jt cringe and pretentious. How do you imagine Versus 13 would've been received in white America user?
Why does the guy second from the left look like a born again Christian that either did gay porn or absolutely killed someone even though he denies it.
>It sold because brand recognition
>FF9
Now THAT's cope. Multiple interviews by Nomura saying they wanted a more accessible romance and characters to attract women and trannies. That was the whole point of 8's style change and why X is still Japan's favorite.
> watching capeshit
Found your problem
If that was the case Attack on Titan wouldn't have blown up like it did.
>trannies
You were a wriggling sperm when FFX released.
ff7 retard
ff7
holy shit there is lead in the water in europe
FFXIII, Versus XIII, and Agito XIII were announced too early and the engine wasn't usable until 2007. The absolute state of S-E's upper management
>"series was legendary stateside after ff4/6 CT and Mana and they rode that out to the ps1 where they one tapped a hit that cemented them as a titan"
Hey turkish rapebaby, what comes after 6?
Little advanced for you huh?
Him directing the cutscenes and story is the only redeeming quality of these games actually. All other aspects of modern Final Fantasy have just been… not good.
I thought Nomura had no influence in the narrative design of X. Almost like Toriyama snapped up his position after Nomura left the FF8 team.
your argument is ff8 sold because ff7 succeeded. ff8 is also critically acclaimed, hence ff9 should have sold well by the same retarded logic you're spewing. it did not.
British localization is so fucking gay
Chad Regis
This is also cope
No, but every final fantasy title after 7, for each unit that was sold, was sold because of 7. 8 sold as much as it did because of 7. 9 also only sold as much as it did, but to a lesser degree. It’s an effect that diminishes over time, you see. So they had to make FFX to restart the cycle.
political rivalry with grim reaper worship? not a surprise as to why one of these elements were scrapped in the final release
samefagging doesn't strengthen your bad argument
ff7 mogs ff8 in every metric
from critical reception to sales (BTFOS 8 in sales)
>wow 6 was the biggest ff hit to date, and then 7 was a worldwide phenomena that made the series a household name for 3 decades!
>yeah 8 didnt benefit from any of that
>yeah no one wants an ff8 remake either
>yeah ff8 is 2 points lower on aggregate
>yeah it sold a fraction of the copies 7 did before it
but EIGHT IS FROM A VACCUM RIGHT?!?
i can see what the inbreeding has done to you, and i see why trapped among your kin, youd fantasize about america all day long
you live in hell
>every final fantasy title after 7, for each unit that was sold, was sold because of 7
good luck proving that. have one last (You) out of pity Nomuragefag
Do you have all those quotes from Square devs past and present praising Nomura?
Or better yet user do you have the Stellafag writeups?
So much this
Come on man, just think about it. It makes sense.
>m*gs
Opinion discarded you faggy little pisscord twitch baby. You are cancer and you aren’t even a real, individual person.
LMAO the everdeepening cope
ran out of wheezy pivots, and now we are on to screaming at the wall people again
Anything this man touches turns to absolute shit. Every time, without fail. EVERY single time.
ESL opinions have 0 value, just a reminder
His games don't sell well and neither do they review well. KH3 and reee-make were his latest fuck ups.
>my point is nomura was never good
>prove it by sales and scores and company history
>you get your asshole ripped out so you claim im now claiming the opposite
>all because youre a fuckwit eurotrash retard who cannot hang in the big world
pottery
Nomura can only do art. not much else.
you people are sick
If they didn't sell they would have never let him touch a project again after his fiasco with XV. They obviously sell really well, which makes sense because he's had DECADES to indoctrinate whole demographics with his faggy shit.
>samefag is also a tranny frogposter
Not surprising at all.
People "hate" or dislike nomura because he's an incredible hack. a shocking incredible hack.
what a bunch of freaks
there it is,
desperate scattershot buzzwords in a vain attempt to make the exchange go away
you got so histrionic you brought 8 and 9 into it apropos of nothing, because you were drowning
>but if i say this, the gape goes away
the gape is eternal, muhmed
>"This exposes one of our shortcomings at Monolith, but for this project, Saito-san (Masatsugu Saito – Main Character Design) and Tek-kun (Tetsuya Nomura – Torna Character Design) covered for and supported us on the character design front, and I’m truly thankful to them for their efforts."
>"During my time at Square, I met very talented designers such as Nomura-kun, and it would be a dream-come-true to have someone as talented (Although we did get Nomura-kun for Xenoblade 2). If only we had someone like that at Monolith Soft..."
Xeno co-creator Tetsuya Takahashi
>"Our old friend Tetsuya Nomura was in the team for a short time at a very early stage of development (He said "Don't you guys think there should be an Asian, tactician type of a character in the game?" Takahashi came up with Citan from that remark.) It was fun working together with friends."
Xeno co-creator Soraya Saga
>"Nomura-san is crazy. [Laughs] His standards were extremely high. ... [he] was a great 2D artist, but his characters worked especially well in 3D."
Sprite Animation founder and FFVII, VIII, and The Spirits Within FMV director Motonori Sakakibara
>"Of those that remain at Square Enix that are committed to doing the work [of maintaining Square's craft] that we did, I feel that it's Takai and Tetsu (Final Fantasy VII series creative director Tetsuya Nomura)."
Chocobo, Moogle, and Mana creator Koichi Ishii (thank you Stellafag for this translation)
>"I’m quite sure he has the most titles with “FF” in their name under his belt. So at least among the veteran members, he’s recognized as the creative mind who embodies FF, and I believe that in a sense, Mr. Ishii has entrusted the future of the FF series to Tetsu."
FFXI producer, IV, V, XIV, and Chrono Trigger battle director Akihiko Matsui
This fucking guy. Square needs to let him make the games he wants to make and only the games he wants to make like NEO and yes, even that one.
Nomura-sama, I kneel.
*you people are based
You'll come around, user.
I couldn't imagine being so distraught from a random's opinion on a video game.
Tactics, VIII, IX and X are all better than VII in every regard besides materia
:') enjoy building your fortress response
I'll be gone
false idols and worshippers...
*what a bunch of patricians
You'll come around.
This lol. Sick of seeing literal redditors throw around their gay little soi slang on here.
said the
>muh america
eurocoper who is on his ninth desperate pivot to salvage his butthurt by starting another separate argument to lose
someone might have taken you seriously if you had ever refuted any of the half dozen points before you started going schizo and screeching
remember where this started?
me telling you europe doesnt matter, you've spiralled it into a string of lost arguments that even you chose to abandon because a whipped dog knows it's place
Why do these nomura threads always show up in the same hour every other evening? Does he need a ego boost?
Somewhere, somehow, Nomura, Stellafag, Yoshi-P, Soraya, her husband, Takai, Kawazu, Ishii, Matsuno, and Nobuaki Komoto are in a room, sharing mid-afternoon drinks over yakitori and laughing. Bless you user.
