I wouldn't be surprised if there is different parts of Quadratum that are model after different cities like London and New York

i wonder if people in japan and america get tired of it always being tokyo and new york the way i get tired of it alwyas being london

Could even be Disney related. Epcot tours the whole world.

Quadratum is really Nomura's version of Epcot😆

[ocean's rage 774]

@Ryuji_Shiryu I've seen your translation to Nomura's Famitsu article, other translations interpreted one of Nomura's answers as that Yozora wasn't well received when KH3 came out, did he really say that?

[Snakeskin94 13]

Low key a little glad if that's true.

[moon☁ 10]

there were a few people that weren’t happy because “that’s just noctis”. But I thought that overall people liked Yozora o.O

Unless he means the Japanese portion of the fan base.

He also said fans wanted Riku’s hair short again after KH2 so who knows

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

Well, he specifically used the kanji 海外

海外 means "overseas"

[pureandroid 0]

Overseas fans are excited for Verum Rex?

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

More accurately, he didn't expect people would expect it to get so much hype, as an alternate interpretations.

[pureandroid 0]

This definitely makes much more sense

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

That's something that's impossible to know, unless he uses the appropriate kanji

To refer to the Japanese people specifically, he would've have to use any kanji that would imply such

...I have a feeling he means the Japanese fanbase too, but again, that's very hard to just state as "the fact" because like I said, this man loves to be vague.

[pureandroid 0]

I don't think I've ever seen him say Japanese fans didn't like this thing etc.. in any of his previous interviews. If it's something positive maybe he would

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

As far as I can tell, there is NO sign of the "日本" kanji, which is what would've been used if he wanted to specifically mention

You can't write Japan in any other way other than 日本

And even if you add compounds after that, it still retains its form

[pureandroid 0]

So basically he was saying he was worried Yozora wouldn't be well received, but overseas fans seem to be excited about Yozora/Verum Rex?

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

...OK, I re-read it.

To be frank with you, I was worried that Yozora wouldn't be well received, given that [Japanese fans] didn't sound very welcoming to his appearance in Kingdom Hearts III, but I'm glad they've proved me wrong. The hype for Verum Rex is certainly high. (bitter laugh)

[Snakeskin94 13]

Dammit.

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

...does that make more sense?

[Snakeskin94 13]

Fanbase is really gonna let him push Yozora after all, huh?

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

...The train of thought must've been:

sees Japanese fans don't like him

Nomura: Oh, I guess he su-

Overseas fans: YOZORA YOZORA YOZORA-

Nomura: Well shit.

...or at least, that's my headcanon lol

[Snakeskin94 13]

You're probably right.

[Ryuji_Shiryu 4]

Statistically speaking, since 海外 is ANYTHING outside Japan...

You count SEA, Oceania, US, EU, UK...

I think some people were just confused about the Verum Rex ad, maybe Nomura expected most of the fans would recognize the similarities to his previous project and get hyped
