What is Nomura's endgame (Multistudio-Link)?
>There's that one rumor going around where it says Nomura is trying to gain more power in Square so he can shepherd younger creators like Sakaguchi and Takahashi did for him. (Koichi Ishii told him to when he left after Dawn of Mana.) It's also related to how he's waiting for changes in the market to justify the viability of a Versus reboot.
>NEO TWEWY and SoP were used to test out hunger for Nomura products which might explain why they were marketed badly (Square was anti Nomura when Matsuda was president) and 16 even proved that there is an appetite for dark, politically heavy action RPGs. Verum Rex will be the final phase of Nomura's 'market research and testing phase' since it looks like Versus (and there's the other rumor saying Nomura will use Yozora as a stand-in to talk about how his life was ruined in Shinjuku/Insomnia by Yoichi Wada, who is Luxord).
>The game pegged by many to be a pseud Versu is Reynatis. Published by FuRyu, directed by Takumi Isobe, a self-professed Nomura fanboy who set his game in Shibuya at night, touches on lots of political commentary and convinced Square to let him collaborate with NEO TWEWY. He urged Nomura to make Versus and outright said "I wanted to play your game."
>What makes this interesting is that FuRyu published Legend of Legacy, made by SaGa battle programmer Kyoji Koizumi, considered the catalyst that brought SaGa Scarlet Grace and a revival of the SaGa franchise westward. Perhaps something similar can be said for Nomura...
