Don't stay within the dark.
>"The most amazing thing about [Nomura], I think, is his power to imagine. It's so detailed. He can tell if there's something off in just a fraction of a pixel. We'll be looking at an image we output and his instructions will be like adjust this part of the character's eye by 98-point-something percent and then move it to the left by x number of dots. It's unbelievable... I don't know I can do it."

>"[Nomura] has this strange power to take CG characters and make them so convincing as people. He produces characters as a complete package. Visuals are just the start. He's thinking about their animation, the whole way they carry themselves. Their attitude, how they express themselves -- a lot of little details. That's what makes Tetsuya Nomura such a talented creator."
Bahamut Lagoon scenario writer, FFX and VII Remake event director, X-2, XIII, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns director Motomu Toriyama
>"This exposes one of our shortcomings at Monolith, but for this project, Saito-san (Masatsugu Saito – Main Character Design) and Tek-kun (Tetsuya Nomura – Torna Character Design) covered for and supported us on the character design front, and I’m truly thankful to them for their efforts."
>"During my time at Square, I met very talented designers such as Nomura-kun, and it would be a dream-come-true to have someone as talented (Although we did get Nomura-kun for Xenoblade 2). If only we had someone like that at Monolith Soft..."
FFIV and V graphic designer, VI graphic director and mechanical designer, VII pitchman, and Xeno co-creator Tetsuya Takahashi
Without Nomura, kino is doomed to descend into CHAOS. Nomura and his fellow heir to Square (including Final Fantasy) Hiroshi Takai, bring that kino.
Yes, you /will/ kneel.
