    No wonder Versus is going so slowly; they probably haven't worked on it in months because of these new projects.

    Also didn't realize Nomura looked like such a fruitloop...

      What did you expect coming from the guy who directed Kingdom Hearts?

        I'm surprised at his lack of fruitloopiness, tbh.

        Where's the outlandish hair, the multiple belts and zippers, and the ridiculous amount of leather.

        I am disappointed at your blandness, Nomura.

          Just because people design their characters in certain ways, doesn't mean they actually dress like them, that's like saying Akira Kirosawa walks around with an orange gii and metal boots..... although that would be a funny sight.

          Oh that's ok then. I thought you genuinely thought that I thought Nomura dressed like that

          ...though I wouldn't be surprised if he did

      He may look like a "fruitloop" but he's made some damn impressive games. He can look as fruity as he wants.

        Thing is those impressive games where very lucky to ever see the light of day. He's someone like me, who loses interest way to quickly. He work's on a game, get's really emotional then a new idea pops in his head and he really wants to do that now without finishing the previous title.

        He needs to stick to one game at a time.

          I agree, 'cause at this rate, none of these games are going to see the light of day until the next generation. He needs to focus on Versus, because it was already announced like four years ago, and most games usually get finished in that time, yet they're barely past conceptual gameplay.

      I thought he was a woman at first. :S

      I think I see where they get their androgynous FF characters from.

    That's Nomura? I could have swore he had black hair, did he dye it?

      He's obviously a natural blonde.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's also a PS3 fan. So I take it these titles will be PS platform exclusive as well.

    This may very well decide my debate about buying my mates Xbox360 for xmas.

      One person does not equal a whole team, just because he likes the PS3 and wants to develop the games for it does not mean it will end up being developed on the PS3. There is a high chance because he is the director (I think, something along those lines), but it's not definite.

      Though Versus is (and probably will continue to be) a PS3 exclusive. And as for Kingdom Hearts, I think that'll stay PlayStation-bound too.

        It all depends how much Sony is willing to cash out to keep it exclusive.
        Square most likely wouldn't keep it an exclusive if M$ was inserting $50,000 bills down their pants.

        In the case of HIS team then yes. He gets the final call on what HIS games gets released on. When he makes the games he owns the characters, gameplay patents, title, engine designs, staff, EVERYTHING.

          Then let us hope he is not easily swayed by money if you want to keep it a PS3 exclusive.

          I quite frankly don't care, I really want this game, but have a 360 and so deep down I hope his heart is fickle and weak, but alas, it most probably is strong and truly wants this to be a PS3 exclusive.

          Damn you Nomura. Why can't you be weak like 99% of the human population?

      Only thing that Im wagerig on this is to buy a 360 or not so either one is win for me.

    He's good but hes not the best. Kitase would be as good imo. Kingdom Hearts & Versus are most likely PS3 exclusive but im more interesting in the other unannounced titles. Likely a nintendo game in there.
