These roles aren't as fixed as credits say they were. IIRC Nomura had a big role in writing some scenarios for characters like Shadow in FF6 and other important ideas for FF7 even though he wasn't credited as the main writer/scenario writer and ultimately the one who did the final version of the stories we got wasn't him.
tl;dr he had a big creative input other than just chara design since the 90s

I sincerely hope FF7 Remake Part Three and Kingdom Hearts 4 sell like shit. I want these games to be expensive failures so Square Enix dies.

They have to die. Shit not even Konami radically messed the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 the way Square Enix fucked up FF7 Remake. And that's not even mentioning SE trying to sell the FF7 Remake into THREE separate parts at full price each. When you make Konami seem not greedy? Come on!

They must pay him pretty good to keep having him come out to say >"nah guys, it's ok, this game has THE SPIRIT OF FF™"
every time. Good on Sakaguchi to go for it desu.

in japanese game companies the higherups are expected to act as "flex roles" more often than not. look at yoshi p. he is producer, director, department manger, pr guy, musician, programmer, etc.

it won't kill them because they'll always be able to sell shitty FF merch forever to fanboys, but when those games sell poorly it will be another embarrassment that we all find very funny.

And they probably gonna have to cut out a bunch of stuff because no way they can fit everything that's left of the og FF7 and the new shit they introduced in one game
