Sony's first party titles would like a word. FF even had the whole "console warrior" aspect going for it but didn't seem to move people enough.

I did buy a PS1 mostly for FF7 tho. The FF brand doesn't carry that weight anymore sadly.

As for main subject of the thread, with so many criticisms I can level at Nomura, at least I can tell from a mile away he's involved in something.
Can't say the same for Yoshi, beyond "tell Soken to go wild". He seems more of a project management kind of guy rather than a creative with a distinct signature.
