Nomura Quotes; 2 old quotes by Nomura

To touch the light I see in your eyes...
Okay, we've been trying to locate the source for two quotes from Nomura.

The first is that OLD quote where Nomura said that he refused to choose for Cloud - meaning that he didn't want to choose who Cloud loved.

We've mentioned that quote a number of times on this forum, and those of us who were around at the release of AC remember it. IIRC, Nomura said this in an interview sometime around the release of KH1.

It seems that Cloti's are questioning whether this quote actually exists, so we're wanting the actual source for it and the whole quote if anyone has it. We haven't been able to locate it on Google.

The second quote is from Nomura on Geostigma:

Geostigma is unlike Mako poisoning because it's an illness that breaks out from inside the body. People affected by Geostigma experience pain and may fall unconscious, depending on the severity. There have also been deaths from the illness. Both children and adults can be affected by Geostigma.

I know that's from an interview in Playstation 2, but I don't have the month or year. Does anyone have it? :unsure:

And thanks! ^_^

I believe the quote you are looking for is this one from the Kingdom Hearts Ultimania:

Question: Okay then, so the person who Cloud is searching for is Aeris, right?

Nomura: Well, what do you think? If indeed it was Aeris, then the bit in the ending was the answer. You might say it was made so that you can take it that way. Cloud is a popular character, and I don't really want to decide myself, yes he is like this. Because players make strong conclusions by themselves, I want to leave room for everyone's line of thought.

Nope. Thanks, FFG, but it's not that one. There's another one where Nomura actually says, "I won't choose for Cloud".

Really? I guess I don't remember that one. :ermm: Do you remember what it was associated with (AC/C, DoC, CC...)?

It was many years ago - I *think* it was around the time of KH1, but I don't remember for sure. We've mentioned it many times on the forum.

Speaking of Tifa, there's an event where she talked to Cloud after beating Sephiroth.
In Nojima-san's scenario, it explained Cloud and Tifa's connection more in-depth but I deleted it away. I thought it would be more interesting to let the gamers think about it. For example, "If Cloud's darkness is Sephiroth, then Tifa is light"; in that sense you can take it that Tifa isn't really human. The reason Tifa doesn't talk to anyone else besides Sora and co. may be because she doesn't exist as a human. Of course, I also presented her in a way that she could also be a resident of Hollow Bastion, so I think you can freely think for yourself about her.


that's the first time I saw the full quote...

Princess is right - that's not the one we're talking about. The one I'm talking about came out *years* before that one.

But it is another example of Nomura talking about leaving things up to the gamer's point of view.

"I'd say, [who Cloud likes] is all how you perceive the game. Cloud, as you know, is a very popular character, so I don't want to confirm the answer either way. Since the players have affection towards him, I want to leave it up to the players to decide who Cloud likes." -2002 interview with Tetsuya Nomura

What you should have done was created a page saying that was from a RECENT interview since everyone forgot about it and watch everyone's reaction :lol:

It's good you found that though, I too, have been looking for it. :P

EDIT:
okay it's not on that page though, where did you find it? I'm only asking because people are going to want a source :unsure:

EDIT2

Oh it's on THIS page:

Whoa! Good one, Princess! :yes:

That's still not the one I was looking for, though. He actually says, "I won't choose for Cloud" in the quote I'm looking for.

But still - that's another example of Nomura leaving things up to the player. Thanks very much - that's a great one! :pro:

You deserve a whole package of cookies! :lol:

No. But it's translated by someone with the name of "Yam"

I'll try to find more.

Just FYI, a little update, this quote:

Doesn't exist. It was that Kingdom Hearts quote. whoever made that Tifa page apparently sorta... put their own spin on it or something O_o
I contacted that Yam person that did the translation and he (she?) showed me the quote that he translated and it was the Kingdom Hearts one.
