Nomura empathizes more with Xehanort than Sora and has difficulty keeping track of the many characters, but is confident that Kingdom Hearts III "is a good game"

It sounds like they are going down the route of multiple endings this time.  That's probably a good choice.

Nomura's always liked the edgy characters, he made Riku in Kain Highwind's image after all...

please no

I agree, please HELL no.

In all honesty, I think if the game does have multiple endings, there will be a set, hard canon ending so that the main series can continue (As KH4 is practically confirmed, or at the very least, and sequel). So I don't think there's anything to worry about. Although, I would prefer if they focused on having one actual ending, since this is a pretty big project already, and placing resources in joke/out of cannon endings would be largely redundant lols.

I'm not all that suprised. I mean he did say one time that he was more on the dark side with Ansem and the others (I guess when some KH book came out. And it has his message in there.). And he did say once that Ansem (or was it Xehanort) was his favorite character, back in E3 2013 was it? 

There was one time he said, Sora is like a son to him. Now he's saying that Sora is his enemy.

Like, dang Nomura! Lol 

Honestly it makes sense. People say that Sora is a blander sort of protagonist because we're supposed to project ourselves onto him. But how can you relate to a character that basically is immune to hardship? 

Okay:

“I do have a general storyline in my head. What is the most confusing is that, because there are so many characters in this storyline now, it’s hard to keep track of who actually met who already. I’m always like, 'Okay, so who knows who in this situation, and who’s meeting this person for the first time?’ And that always gets really confusing."

"What is the most confusing is that, because there are so many characters in this storyline now"

I dont want to say Anything but, i have my own Story/Book going on and there are now +80 Characters build up over 5-6 Years.

If I can handle this, he has to be able to do it above all.

I mean, i handle this Really f****** Well, and i am just some Random person. And my Stuff reaches the Complexity of KH. 

Dont believe him when he says: "Its Hard to keep Track"

But how can you relate to a character that basically is immune to hardship? 

Yeah, how can you relate to a character (Xehanort) that basically is immune (via so many "It was me all along!" retcons) to hardship?

You can relate to Xehanort solely because of his role. He's the villain, which adds some sort of dynamic to the whole series. It isn't as necessary to have a relatable villain than as the hero. 

You're right though. Xehanort is a op bland piece of cardboard

It sounds like they are going down the route of multiple endings this time.  That's probably a good choice.

as long as they don't go full shadow the hedgehog, which is really hard not to do (especially because this is nomura we're talking about here)

"I actually don’t sympathize or empathize with Sora at all. I think I’m closer to those characters [like Xehanort, Ansem, etc.], so Sora is like my enemy. How I always think of him is I would unleash my attacks on him, and then I draw him in a way that I think he will be able to make a comeback at me. In that sense, I really think that Sora is just like an opposite personality character to who I am."

nomura, circa. 2002: wow look at sora my beautiful baby boy

nomura after putting up with 16 years of sora's shit: BITCH I WILL UNLEASH MY ATTACK ON YOU
