Final Fantasy XV Director Tetsuya Nomura Impressed by Titanfall, Watch_Dogs, Battlefield 4, MGS5

Legendary Director Tetsuya Nomura Inpressed many at E3 with Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III, but what games impressed Tetsuya Nomura himself? Quite a few, as he said during an interview for the Japanese gaming site Dengeki Online. Interestingly, none of the titles he mentioned was a RPG.

[Snookies12]

Lol, just because he makes RPGs doesn't mean he can't be impressed by other genres. :]

[Abriael]

I don't think anyone said he can't. Actually we know he loves shooters :D

[Godmars290]

Its when he tries to copy and implement features that he sees into his games that's the problem.

[Abriael]

If every time someone took inspiration from other games in this industry was a "problem", it would have already imploded.

[Gazondaily]

Well said Abriael.

He is free to do so and you never know, final fantasy could benefit from importing the better elements of other genres into it.

[_QQ_]

As long as his games don't become musicals.

[Abriael]

@lopez_josue: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was damn good though :P

@Abriael, @Septic

like FFXIII benefited from copying Call of Duty's linearity right?

[Qrphe]

@wishing

If CoD had influenced FFXIII in any way it would have had multiplayer. Its linearity had no effect on it.

[Need4Game]

Final Fantasy XV will be an Action-MMORPG

the Game Development is so expensive, it can no longer be a Single Player Game.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

I was impressed by everything Square-Enix had to offer at E3.

[Abriael]

Same here, they had the best E3 in ages.

[NovusTerminus]

If Type-0 would have been announced for US and EU release it would have been perfect!

[Abriael]

I'm starting to doubt we'll ever see that one.. :(

[Alexious]

There are some great games coming up, for sure.

[Belking]

I think Titan Fall impressed almost everyone who witnessed it.

[miyamoto]

as huge MS Gundam: Battle Operation on PS3 fan I agree.

Titanfall is like Killzone3 and Halo and Armored Core rolled into one.

Freaking Fantastic!

I am sure this game will be a huge hit in Japan. Is XBOne launching in Japan?

Anyways there is PC and the rumored PS4 version coming.

[FantasyStar]

I think Respawn would've done better if they got a hold on the Gundam license and ran with that. Why reinvent the wheel?

[rhap]

No wonder FF is crap now, even the game directors and producers are into action games.

[NihonjinChick]

Square has always been into action games. Play some of their earlier PS1 games.

Parasite Eve 1 and 2, Threads of Fate, Bushido Blade etc..

[-Gespenst-]

Don't forget both the Musashi games, also Nier and Dissidia.

[-Gespenst-]

MGSV = Good taste.

Watch Dogs = Impressive game, but good taste? Not sure.

The other two = bad taste.

[wishingW3L]

I find it funny that he was impressed by Battlefield 4 because the game looks like more of the same.

[Irishguy95]

You have terrible taste

[Elda]

Good for him,but I'm really digging on the newly revamped FFXV looking like a future masterpiece,can't wait to play this on the PS4!!!

"It’s impressive that it’s made by a Japanese developer." --- Ouch. Guess he thinks the West is whoopin' some ass lately.
