>In the interview with French gaming site Jeux Video, the interviewer asked the Final Fantasy VII composer whether he was going to be working on the Final Fantasy VII remake. The composer simply replied, “Not at all.”
>>315741250
>never did any proper arrangements
>hasn't done a full-fledged mainline FF OST in more than a decade
>his last attempt was forgettable and shitty
Good to hear.
Yoko Shimimura is doing it.
Hopefully.
>>315741638
>more than a decade
Uematsu scored the original release of FFXIV in 2010. While the game may have been forgettable and shitty, the soundtrack was anything but.
>>315741689
It'll likely be Hamauzu, just like FFX HD.
How hard is Squeenix going to fuck this up?
>>315741689
Don't get my hopes up, anon. She's too busy with FFXV
>>315742075
Ain't gonna be no fuckin' up with Lord Nomura-san at the helm
>>315741250
>>315742006
If that's true then it's going to be a disaster.
AC had some pretty amazing music but FFX HD showed that they really had no grasp on the material. I can live with them fucking up the combat system but if they ruin the music there is no coming back from that.
>>315742006
FFX HD was done mainly by Hamauzu and Nakano. Just like the original.
>>315741638
What was his last attempt in a mainline FF?
It was FFX, wasn't it? I thought that was some of his best work, frankly.
>>315741250
Maybe Takeharu Ishimoto will do it. Because there has yet to be a song in final fantasy that tops this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIiT0keG5iQ
>>315742145
FFX HD was done by the same composers who composed the original tracks, dummy. Servants of the Mountain of example (one of the tracks that everybody got so butthurt about) was tweaked by the same guy who had composed that track in the first place.
i'm starting to wonder if this remake is going to be decent.
>>315742446
And they made it pretty clear they had no idea what they were doing.
this shit is going to ruin the original ff7, but oh well sony needs dem shekels.
>>315742191
FF14. In FFX he did like four themes and called it a day. The most memorable songs (Wandering Flame, Mt. Gagazet, Challenge, Assault, A Contest Of Aeons, etc.) were either done by other people or arranged by them.
>no ATB combat
>no uematsu music
>forced compilation shit
"remake"
>>315741250
There's no point to it anyways.
He composed the original songs, this will just be all remixes.
>>315742764
Remake doesn't mean remaster
>>315741250
Who cares
FF7 music is gay and it sucks dick
>>315742764
>no ATB combat
Who the fuck wants it anyways? Go play it on Steam
>>315742565
its not like any remakes/reboots of old vidya in the past decade have been worth a shit so i don't know why people are expecting anything different.
why are people still pushing so hard for a FF7 remake?
It won't live up to their nostalgia hype and they are destined to hate it.
FF7 wasn't even that good, you were just 8 years old and too stupid to know any better. Move on with your lives, you're worse than WoW players.
>>315742596
The only track that was legitimately worse was Challenge. The rest were either somewhat different or improved. Just compare the original (rather dull) theme of Guadosalam and the rearrangement.
https://youtu.be/nmcCd1eCJq4
https://youtu.be/e1jB2x5r6Zs
>>315743071
what did he mean by this
>>315742270
The Price of Freedom is one of my favorite vidya songs of all time.
>>315743161
Probably because they just got done announcing that a FF7 remake is actually happening and people are preparing themselves for the worst.
>>315741958
Wait he did FF14? And they just threw it all away? Because I played it recently and I know that shit was no Uematsu, except maybe some of the FATE songs.
>>315743161
Except FF7 WAS good, and you edgy bandwagon sheep only hate it because it's insanely popular
implying anyone has yet been hired for this project that'll never see the light of day
>>315741250
I don't mind if they use his original score but re-record/rearrange it.
>>315744851
Well yes, it WAS good, and then it all went down the shitter the minute advent children came out and took a steaming shit all over it.
>>315744512
They tucked a lot of his songs into cutscenes to remind people that Soken's a hack. A good chunk of the battle themes are left unused to this day.

>bandwagon
The only bandwagon in this setting are people who's first console was the PSX and who's first RPG was VII when they were a kid. The game was never good. You flocked to it because of a bunch of shiny FMVs in the commercials; you were no different from someone today who talks about how they're a big gamer, when all they've ever played is Candy Crush.
>>315741250
Shame, since Uematsu is currently on form.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtuwltmTp9I
Then again, you don't really need Uematsu to re-compose his own OST. Square has plenty of other musical talent in their employ to remaster it.
>>315741689
It will most likely be takeharu ishimoto
>>315742270
That one good theme in the game and the rest is all buttrock
I hope he doesn't get too carried away if he does the soundtrack
>>315745737
>The game was never goo
Seriously, son, that is some silly "it's popular so it's shit" logic right there.
>>315745384
I can't believe they replaced all that with a generic WoW-clone OST.
What a waste.
>>315743385
What did you mean when you said what did he mean by this?
>>315745354

they cant just reuse the music he made for 14 on ARR since technically its a complete different game.
They have to go back to him and ask if they are allowed to use it and write new licenses and shit.
Shit takes work and time.
Over time they will have all of the original 14 songs in the new version.
On a side note Uematsus music was the only reason i could keep playing original 14
>>315746134
Now post the rest of the soundtrack
>>315746152
I'm sure it'd cost less to ask Uematsu to relicense his shit than for Soken to pump out yet-another-ear-busting piece.
>>315742809
Remake also doesn't mean completely change.
>>315745960
>WoW-clone OST
You're trying too hard.
>>315746256
they are doing both since there are limited songs from original 14.
Some of Sokens music isnt bad and you are just exaggerating

>>315746994
Yes please do
>>315746554
>if its too loud, there is a music volume option for a reason.
It's not the volume, it's the fact anything Soken makes with a guitar/drum track has a completely fucked amplitude which results in the song sounding like it's running 11khz.
i want my FF5 HD Remake
fuck the iOS/3D(S)/RPG Maker shit
>>315747020
Who the hell considers ARR above XI?And most of XI's memorable shit besides Ronfaure isn't from Uematsu either.
Some recent'ish mood-setting zone music from it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOBOusfUJcA
>>315742565
It won't be, it's fucking Squeenix they will fuck it up somehow just like the rest of the compilation.

Only ones worth a shit are Metroid Zero Mission and the Resident Evil one on Gamecube.
>>315745384

At least ripping music in XIV and slapping it in Audacity to split up the channels is easy.
>>315746554
>Through the Gloom is undeniably the best track from the FFXIV OST
>they replaced it in Pharos Sirius and are taking all the videos down off Youtube
It's like they're trying to erase all memory of its existence, just like the original XIV. Why?
>>315741689
Oh boy I can't wait for more piano melodies backed by dull strings completely missing the cyberpunk and oppressive atmosphere of the original
>>315742145
>Ruin the music.
You know they will. The music will be ruined, trust me. Anything that isn't the original music, with the original software/instruments to create them, will ruin it. Newcomers will probably like it, but it can never be a good remake, because the music, the scenery, the pre-rendered grafx, and the atmosphere will be reduced to a pile of ashes. And of course they are going to remove shit from the game too, and I once spent an entire 4 hours brainstorming, trying to come up with anything at all, that I thought would not affect my opnion of it very negatively if they removed it, and I can't come up with a damn thing.
THE WHOLE FUCKING GAME IS GOING TO BE TERRIBLE, JUST ACCEPT IT.
>>315742665
Wat, Challenge was a good idea but it felt unfinished to be frank. It is like they didn't know where to take it originally, and it's not hard to imagine why. Amazingly, the remix version is even shittier because they thought that being experimental means nothing more than making a fucking garbage mess. The others you listed are not that memorable I would say - it especially perplexes me that you picked Contest of Aeons over Decisive Battle. Usually I remember tracks like Besaid Isle, the battle theme, and Sprouting.
>>315743312
Other than challenge, they generally added more instruments and made everything sound higher quality. However, they made the original instruments so weak and sometimes sound midi-like, it is nearly criminal what they did to the bass. I think it is also important to note that high quality can diminish the coherence of a track, and I really felt it with FFX in particular. There is a reason that some people like their shitty lo-fi music with tape saturation and whatnot and why it lends itself to making mixtapes. Overall, I do think FFX probably had one of the best FF OSTs, FF14 doesn't really count to me since a lot of it is remixing, though I think maybe FFTactics deserves some recognition.

>>315749778
Then you shouldn't be saying such stupid things son, if you've played it twice you obviously know how diverse the OST is.
>>315749841
Sorry but no, whenever I think of CC soundtrack all I can hear in my head are guitar riffs

You mean the guy who gave us Kingdom Hearts and FFVII compilation? I mean, sure, I loved TWEWY but lets face it, Nomura is a hack and most of its games are shit.
>>315750516
It's okay, he'll be kicked off the project when he mishandles it in 2019 and it enters development hell
>>315750516
He wasn't behind everything in the compilation, he was just one of the directors of AC.

He was the main designer for every entry.

Best part of every update is new music.

In a series with nothing but top tier music, ARR is probably the very best. Certainly the most varied.
>>315741250
Nobuo Uematsu is kinda overrated. I like the guy but yeah. VI & X are his best works.
>>315752401
That's funny because I consider both of those to be his worst soundtracks by a mile. IV and VIII were clearly his best.
>>315741250
>tfw I never played FFVII
>this will be my original experience of it
Im gonna love every second of it
Good.
It's a remake, not an HD remaster. What's the point of a remake if you just try to make it the exact same shit again?
>>315741250
Why does that matter?
Uematsu isn't an arranger, he's a composer
FF7 is already composed by him and they will get someone to arrange the tracks with live orchestral and instruments
Even FFs that Uematsu already worked on had other artists doing the arrangements for his compositions
This is literally a non issues, even the other FF remakes had other artists arranging them
And by the way Uematsu oversaw the whole FFX HD OST and yet people still complained about that
Just look at Distant Worlds for amazing arrangements of his compositions that were arranged by other artists, same as the piano collection and also the OST in 7CC that used a lot of Uematsu compositions with new orchestral arrangements
He never needed to work on 7r because his compositions already exists for FF7
>>315742764
Except it is uematsu music you retard
Do you not know the difference between a composition and an arrangement?
All the tracks in 7R will have been composed by Uematsu
>>315745384
Nail of the Heavens was in the game at one point though right?

I love his work but Hamauzu is so fucking good, especially when piano work and string compositions are involved. I've loved him ever since SF2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loW11_8mzuc
>>315749493
The 7R trailer already had the atmosphere, tone and music perfect
>>315752484
I don't remember anything of IV and VIII has some stand-out tracks (Liberi Fatali is possibly the best FF track) but overall it lacked cohesion and impact.
>>315754024
>I don't remember anything of IV
I have no idea how. It has one of the most memorable soundtracks in the series and I can't even chalk it up to nostalgia because it was one of the last FFs I played.

They'll use the same buttrock shit they did in AC and CC.
>>315742075
It'll probably be a reskinned Final Fantasy XV with similar gameplay.
wtf is buttrock?
>>315754265
I'm happier with the FFX-2 we got
Probably they don't even have a composer for it
Also Uematsu is senile like Miyamoto, he can't create good stuff anymore
>>315754309
There was no "buttrock", FF7 already had rock orchestral music to begin with for many of the tracks
Uematsu oversaw AC too and did the new compositions for that and they had plenty of orchestral music
https://youtu.be/0mJeyz7E6hQ
https://youtu.be/_IVFWFjc51U
>>315754470
No it won't because they are nothing alike on the foundation, the only reason XV plays the way it does is because of XV lore and how magic works in that world being specific to XV with the phantom swords and the like, and not even the same dev team or engine
>>315754953
You're saying it will be turned based? I can't believe that.
>>315754860
Uematsu is the composer, the FF7 music was composed by him and the remake is using his compositions, they are just going to have new orchestral and live instrument arrangements of his compositions, Uematsu isn't an arranger to begin with anyway, they'll get a real arranger like they did for distant worlds to arrange his music
>2015
>people STILL think Uematsu is anything more than an overrated hack
Sure is reddit in here.
>>315755272
No, I'm saying it's not going to be anything like XV because it's a completely different dev team and engine and they have a completely different foundation.
There is more chance of 7R being made in the vein of FF12 style combat than anything else, that has ATB menu and commands like FF7 but also movement in battles to keep things more active and involving
>>315741250
I hate this sacred cow behavior around Uematsu.
Masashi Hamauzu, ItoKen, the Falcom Sound Team (any formation except maybe the most recent), all infinitely better composers.

She probably finished working on FF15 a while ago since she clearly had time to do Paper Jam.
Her current project is most likely KH3.
Remember, music can be done separate of all other development. They just need to give her a list of what to make and she makes it. So once all the game events are planned out, theres really nothing stopping a musician from getting everything done.
>>315757532
Paper Jam is small time and not very taxing to her on the amount of work she needs to do
And she actually is still doing XV music, like the FFXV dawn trailer music was recorded just a few weeks before the trailer was released
Same with the Jump Festa 2015 trailer
Her compositions are most likely mostly complete, but the actual recording of the OST in the studio and orchestra is still being done with her overseeing everything too, same with KH3 which we haven't actually heard any new tracks for yet.
>>315754470
I...be fine with that?
I enjoy Kingdom Hearts combat, and 15 looks pretty good from what Ive seenIm trying to avoid looking at it as best I can so I dont hype myself like I did with 13
And If I can choose which character I'd play as then that would be awesome
I'd kinda expect certain characters to only learn specific Materia if they did it like 15, Yuffie would be the dedicated mage right?
>>315757779
Yuffie is a ninja
>>315747621
>Only ones worth a shit are Metroid Zero Mission and the Resident Evil one on Gamecube.
Before the mobileshit FF has historically had good remakes.
And unlike the mobileshit, 7 is being done in-house instead of outsourced to some sketchy chinese company.
Some more worthwhile remakes are the pokemon remakes (not sure about ORAS), all of the Dragon Quest remakes, Mario 64 DS and the aforementioned Non-Mobile FF remakes.

That's true, I never considered that. It does take time to get the orchestra together, while with Paper Jam she can put together midis herself.

Cloud was upbeat and chipper in CC because he got to become a Shinra soldier, then he underwent mako poisoning and his mind fucked up, and despite that he overpowered Seph through sheer will and both he and Zack made it out, and he later assumed a false identity mix of his own ideals of what a hero is, elements of zack and that took over his actual self after Zacks death
Then in 7 we see him with his false identity for 90% of the game which was a distant and standoffish person who only cares about himself and getting paid, he was like this for most of the game, then his mind cracked and identity crisis happened and his true self emerged with heavy baggage, but we didn't see much of this because he had to put on a gameface and took on Seph because he world was at stake and overpowered Seph through sheer will
Then in AC 2 years later he was infected with Jenova cancer because of Sephiroth corrupting the lifestream after Cloud beat him, this fucked up his mind and countless people through the disease and made him distance himself from others because he was slowly dying, then later he overcame it through sheer will and charges head first into battle while smirking and being hyped as fuck to be fighting again and then he takes on all his enemies with determination and beats them all through his regained will, and then the movie literally ends with Cloud smiling after curing the kids of their jenova cancer and the song playing is literally called Cloud smiles
This "cloud is le emo" meme needs to stop.

It'll be nothing like AC since the tone and feel of the FF7 remake trailer already feels more like FF7 than anything in AC, the colors in FF7 remake teaser also already more colorful than AC was, Tifa has massive tits in the 2014 artwork Nomura did of her infact they are the biggest he's ever drawn them, Aeris looks exactly the same in all her appearances, Cloud always had faghair, all the humour is already confirmed being in including the honey bee inn and more, the gameplay will be better than the trash that was the shitty ATB system FF7 used, Materia would work the same regardless of the combat, the music in AC was done by Uematsu and it only had a few tracks from FF7 itself, FF7R will be using FF7 music that Uematsu did just with new arrangmetns and live instrument recordings instead of midi shit
It will be a faithful remake with an improved battle system and vastly better visuals and live orchestral and instrument music of Uematsu's original compositions.

The most memorable songs were the battle theme, Seymour's battle theme, the Jecht battle theme, and To Zanarkand. Guess who those were composed by?

Uematsu peaked with 8 anyway, he's been on a steady decline ever since. His most recent works outside of Squeenix have been mediocre if not outright bad.
>>315759218
Here's the picture again, without the red bits.
This picture is showing the volume of the song, in case you didn't realize.
Anyways, notice how most of it's so fucking loud that it's just a big blue block? That's called a brickwall. Brickwalling is done when an audio engineer or producer or what the fuck ever decides "Hey, this song is great, but if we made it way fucking louder it would so fucking cool, dude!"
The red parts in the last picture are highlighting what's called "clipping", which is when the sound gets so loud it gets all distorted, and because of that, the dynamic range is gone.
What does that mean? Well...
Eh, fuck it. This video will explain it better than I could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQ
Also, try this comparison of the retail version of a Metallica song with the version that was in Guitar Hero 3, for an example of how brickwalling effects even loud music like heavy metal.

9 was easily his best work, you could tell he enjoyed bringing in elements from every other game in the series.
He did a few songs in FF11 and really knocked it out of the park too, but it was literally three or four songs out of a couple hundred in the OST.
Based Nobuo not taking part in the HD remake jewery
>>315759916
Brickwalling happens a lot in videogame music because videogame music is garbage.
>>315759916
By the way, the "CD" version in that second video's volume is adjusted for actual comparison. In the real song, the volume looks a big block, like my picture.

>>315741250
Maybe that just means that they'll leave the music completely alone and just use the original FF7 OST.
>>315760340
>Im worrying that they are putting more effort into 15 than 7
Why would you worry that they put more effort into their next flagship mainline title than a remake? That's how it should be, and in any case this is the first FF remake that will be done with the scale and budget of a brand new mainline entry.
FF7R went into development sometime in 2014.
>>315759916
I honest to god can't hear the difference in that comparison
>>315760340
>Im worrying that they are putting more effort into 15 than 7
What? I mean they kind of should be putting maximum effort into their new main big name game.
>>315741638

>>315759916

Fucking idiots. That's triggering my radio training like mad.
>>315760472
A properly done FF7 remake would dwarf any potential amount of FF15 sales, heck if they put the time and effort into the project I see no way it doesn't outsell 12, 13, and 15 combined.
There probably isn't a bigger deal in the gaming world, maybe Half Life 3 but even so FF7 has a much bigger fanbase both from those that played it and those that played the spinoffs.
>>315750936

That shit takes me back.
I don't play the game nowadays, I played ARR for like the first free month and then never came back. Not that it was 'worse' it just wasn't the same game anymore and I was kinda liking it towards the end there.
>>315760472
>>315760569
Lets be honest
7 is going to sell better than 15
7 was my first RPG and my childhood, I can accept if FF15 is mediocre, but if 7 is mediocre then Final Fantasy will be dead to me
Unless 15 is somehow godlike
>>315760485
I couldn't at first either, but believe me, excessive dynamic range compression is a big problem. The GC version of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is a great example, as a lot of the music is way too fucking loud and/or squashed and the music is cranked so high in the cutscenes you can't even hear the characters talking half the time.
>>315761092
At this point I'd be willing to bet a shoddy FF7 remake will sell better than an amazingly done FF15.
>>315761203
Oh yeah, Cult Classics with word of mouth will make shit sell like crazy

My picture? I believe that is the fault of Juan Urteaga, who produced Heathen's third album and made it sound like garbo. Inaudible bass guitar, no breathing room, no reverb at all, all fucking midrange, and mercilessly brickwalled to the point that most of the fucking album is just clipping.
>>315760715
The only reason it could sell more than XV is because it would come out after XV which already will contribute to increasing PS4 installbase, so the install base would be bigger, and it would also likely come out after both DQ11 and KH3 are out too which would increase the installbase substantially, especially for Japan, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will do more than XV but it is likely.
Mind you FF7 sold 10 million across the PS1 and PC release, but that is collective sales over 18+ years since it's release and not the initial sales.
FF13 has sold 7 million across PS3 and 360, FF13 was the first FF on Xbox so that was already limited reach and the PS3 wasn't really doing that as good as the PS4 is right now or as good as the PS1 or PS2 did either when FF13 came out
12 sold 6 million but that came out right at the end of PS2s life cycle and the switch from 6th to 7th gen
PS4 is right now doing much better than PS3 was doing and this trend will increase because a number of big games are coming to PS4 over the next year
FF7s demo on PS1 mind you sold around 700k with the game it came with, FFXVs demo sold over 1 million with the game it came with
XV is already poised to sell more than FF12 and FF13 did, simply because of how well PS4 is doing and how much bigger the install base will be by XVs 2016 release, XV would sell 5 million ww at a minimum, minimum.
FF7s sales also depend on it's marketing, FF7 sold so much because it had a massive marketing campaign that Sony conducted for it, the fanbase for FF7 is collectively bigger than any other single FF game too so that also does add to FF7Rs potential sales
>>315760715
But many of the people that played FF7 back then are probably grown ass men with families by now. Do they even care about video games anymore to buy it?
>FFVII will get some generic orchestra soundtrack, AAA shooter style

This is what you idiots deserve for begging so much for remakes of games that absolutely don't need one.

Cloud is sensitive and soft, everything he does could topple over into emo at any moment. And it does in AC, wow, what a shock.

But don't worry, this you'll have CoD soundtrack with super duper cool blue and brown filters and everyone wearing black leather.
Enjoy your favorite game getting butchered, beggars.
>>315763028
You think One-Winged Angel was MIDI?
>>315763028
>FFVII had midi soundtrack, dumbass.
That's what I just said you fucking retard, and despite that it used soundfonts for orchestral style music, rock orchestral music and synth style music.
Do you even fucking know anything about live orchestra? Do you even know what the fuck Distant Words is?
There is a difference between a live orchestra rendition of a song that was previously already orchestral style but rendered with midi, and a song made with generic Hollywood composition, get your head out of your ass you dumb cunt
>>315763217
OWA was Midi with the choir channel being recorded in a studio first then created into a sequenced soundfont while the rest of the track was the midi soundfont the rest of the game used
>>315763217
it was.

This, holy shit.
This.
Exactly this.
Hamauzu is amazing when taken off the leash, his work on FFX and SaGa Frontier 2 is amazing, as well as the arrangments he does. I didn't like FF13 soundtrack and some of his newer work, but it fit the tone of the story well.
People might shit on him for 'butchering' the FFX HD arrangements, but personally some of the tracks sound so good, better than I remember them being (then again I played the original FFX back in 2008, and a few months ago the remasters)
He has a recognizable style, that's for sure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygiHQ71hooU
He's the perfect mix between well-orchestrated and catchy music, able to convey a multitude of different emotions, even within the course of a shorter game, I can't really name anyone other than Akira Yamaoka and Uematsu that do that so well. Even Yoko Shimimura, as much as I love Legend of Mana (KH not so much, but I don't really like the basic game as it is, so I'm partial as to the soundtrack), I don't think she fits the bill the same way these 3 do.
Hamauzu gets the job done, period.
>>315745737
sadly, my first system was an NES, i played dragon warrior and FF. then got an SNES and played breath of fire, lufia and FF3. then got a PSX and played suikoden and FF7.

>>315768007
The movie was originally Nomura's idea because after making the secret ending fight scene in KH and KHFM he wanted to make a movie with
>tons of cool fight scenes
So we can assume the fight scenes were his at least and judging by the camera work in KH he like using big sweeping camera shots
>>315770645
You're probably right and don't mind me cause I'm just poking fun at nomura fanboys in general about how it's so creepy that he can do no wrong and can't be held accountable for anything
>>315770645
No it wasn't, the movie was Kitase and Nojima's creation, they were in production long before Nomura was even brought on board, they brought him on to direct the battle sequences to lengthen the movie from what they already had done, then Kitase slapped Nomura's name as one of the directors, despite Kitase being the one who started the films production
>>315771750
Maybe if you stop blaming Nomura for shit he didn't do people would stop calling you out for being a retard.

I had a theory with my friends, and they agreed. Nobody fucking played FF7. Pick ten people. Maybe, MAYBE, two of them actually left Midgar.Everything else was just pop culture osmosis.
Look at me, for Christ's sake. I got it back on release back in High School, started it maybe four times and quit after Aeris' death every time, and didn't actually beat it until like a year or so ago when I forced myself to do it.
>>315746994

It was Nomura's idea but the all the pre-production and writing was Kitase's and Nojima's with Nomura giving input once they came out and said "this was your idea, you should direct this."
Nomura's main issue is his REALLY convoluted plots, but seeing as Nojima's in charge of writing and FF7's plot is kind of pre-determined, I don't think it's goong to be an issue.
>>315773252
No it wasn't, it was entirely Kitase's idea, he started the production, him and Nojima had already a 20 minute worth of footage before Nomura was even brought on board after he suggested that he could do battle sequences, then Nomura was told to make the battle sequences which is why he was then credited as director, despite the actual story and story sequences being done before by Nojima and Kitase before Nomura was on the movie, Nomura only directed the battle sequences and the designs for 5 of the characters, Kitase was in charge of the actual movie and then just credited himself as producer instead despite it being his idea since it's inception because Nomura's name was more marketable
