Why do you think the time jannies were a thing in that? Ever since he was booted out, Nomura has been pretty angry at the franchise and has been acting his revenge by his own admission:
>mentions in interviews that he's channeling his anger into his work with no elaboration
>keeps finding excuses to not finish in time artwork for Dissidia NT and skips its streams, painting an aura of doom that won't help the game's popularity
>doesn't include FF characters in KHIII at launch and makes up poor excuses to justify that, has to capitulate for the DLC
>possibly suggested the canning of the DLCs for XV so the Luminous studio could work on something else (which we know turned out of to be Forespoken, which killed the team and had its members being absorbed into the VIIR ones), Tabata quitting being a response to that
>makes the narrative in VII Remake overly convoluted with implications and makes a caricature of entitled fans of the original game that need to be defeated for the characters to experience freedom
>personally suggests the character of Kubo for NEO TWEWY and makes him a caricature of Tabata with a story arc that parallels what happened to VXIII/XV and how Nomura percieved it happened
>creates Stranger of Paradise, a story that behind the fun insanity of Jack is meant to erode the mythos of the franchise in almost all its aspects
>raises no objection to give carte blanche to YoshiP in turning the next mainline chapter, XVI, into a Snoy cinematic actionfest with very little RPG elements

I am dead convinced Nomura hates Final Fantasy deeply at this point and his statement of retiring is because he wants the ship to sink badly.
