>Nomura unironically did nothing wrong.
Nomura did the most wrong of any SE director.
Nomura started as a character designer, and that is where he excels and I have no real qualms with Nomura as a character designer. The issue is that he was given Kingdom Hearts, and that's when everything went downhill. Soon, the story of Kingdom Hearts began to make no fucking sense whatsoever, because Nomura mistakenly believes that "convolution" is the same as "deep". Kingdom Hearts is now so convoluted that even he can't keep track of everything and he literally watches YouTube essays about Kingdom Hearts to remind himself of what he has written.
Then there is the fatal misstep of giving him Versus XIII, which inadvertently spawned Barry. Nomura wasn't good enough to actually deliver Versus XIII, so Tabata had to take the scraps of Nomura's abortion and tape it together into the Frankenstein that we currently know as Final Fantasy XV. In the meantime, while Nomura was pretending to be a director and failing to deliver on the Versus XIII hype, we got nearly a fucking decade of Toriyama's waifu, Lightning, whom NO ONE liked. This was the real beginning of the end of Final Fantasy, and it was indirectly caused by Nomura's failure, which also spawned Barry. They shitted out 3 Lightning games because Nomura couldn't shit out Versus XIII. Then they gave it to Tabata, who shitted out XV.
AND THEN, as if Nomura didn't do enough damage already, they gave him Final Fantasy VII. I fucking know they thought "here Nomura, this is such a slam dunk layup that you could not POSSIBLY fuck it up", and do you know what Nomura did? He took that as a challenge. He said "[laughs] ...watch me" and he added Whispers to the mix and ruined the entire spirit of Final Fantasy VII by conflating the original Final Fantasy VII with the shit he had written since then like Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts.
Tetsuya Nomura has been killing Final Fantasy for the past nearly 20 years.

>How did Square Enix destroy Final Fantasy so thoroughly and what can be done to undo the damage?
It all goes back to Nomura.
Nomura failed to deliver Versus XIII. As a result, we were forced to suffer through a Lightning wank trilogy. Then, because Nomura is incompetent, they gave Versus XIII (now XV) to Tabata, which spawned Barry. When XV released, it was an incomplete and god awful piece of shit, which lost all the oldfag fans who had been waiting a decade to play Versus XIII, which XV no longer was. Then, for some reason, after Nomura already ruined Final Fantasy once, they gave him the Final Fantasy VII Remake. They probably though something like "here, Nomura, even (You) couldn't fuck this up". He was insulted, but he took it as a defiant challenge. He said "(laughs) I assure you, I can most certainly fuck up the Final Fantasy VII Remake"
And so, that's what he did.
