Just had a thought of the possibility that one of Tetsuya Nomura’s final drawings being an actual adult Sora saying goodbye to us. 😭

[csfwatson]

As much as I want Nomura to decide when he's done and is ready to retire and not burn himself out and receive his much deserved flowers, there is the part of me that wants to see him reach the end of Kingdom Hearts as he envisioned it. This has been the one series that Nomura has gotten to cultivate himself along with the rest of the team, and while I do agree Yasue and co are more than capable of continuing Kingdom Hearts, I would like to see Nomura put the final bow on the series he helped create himself as a sort of final goodbye. He finishes the story he began all those years ago his way.

[noahdean]

He has done so much for us hopefully they'll be someone else who will take his place and follow his footsteps!

[KiraLawliet]

I really hope that Nomura sees this story through to the end. I don't want to see this series end and I don't want Papa Nomura to leave us, but over my adult life I've seen far too many stories that I loved get dragged through the dirt by studios that just didn't know when to stop exploiting it. Kingdom Hearts is one of those rare stories that is inseparable from the person who created it, and I don't want it to be taken up by anybody else. Nobody could do this story like Nomura can. Not to mention, as I've gotten older and Disney has changed a lot in recent years, I'm not as excited for Disney stuff as I was when I was younger. I wouldn't be pulled in by the crossover aspect anymore, and the worst thing I could imagine is watching this series get to the point where I just don't care about it. Nomura has an ending in mind for this series—I want him to reach it, I want it to be what he wants, and then I want this series to end for good. Please, let this one glorious story from my childhood ride off into the sunset with grace and dignity. I can't bear to see it run into the ground.

[ayaanman]

I saw his retirement and my eyes widened I had too read it twice too make sure I wasn’t reading it wrong 😭

[warrior.]

What a title, I don't want him to leave Kingdom Hearts

[retroman]

I don't think I'm ever ready for Nomura's eventual retirement to come. 😭

[ecentral]

Don't be mad dont be sad what a journey you and I have had

[irenroberson]

He has done so much. Thank you, tetsuya nomura, for the amazing childhood memories one of my favorite videogames all time.

[lionscave]

The signs were obvious in the games, but it was still surreal that he just came out and said it. Crazy to think that we might be in the final stretch of Kingdom Hearts, at least Nomura's story, but at the same time, I do hope he gets the chance to see the rest of the story through to the end on his own terms. Wishing him and his team the best of luck 🙏

[thevault]

If nomura does retire, i hope he is able to fully realize the KH series and can see his story through to completion. I've gotten so comfortable having kingdom hearts always being around that it makes me sad to hear about the definitive end for the series, but i think Nomura deserves to end it when he wants to. I just hope when he does it can conclude in the way he always wanted.

[blackbeltgamerfire-spitt]

So, Nomura wants each saga to feel distinct from each other? I like this idea, it frees up space to experiment with these games.

I hope that, when he does retire, he enjoys his retirement.

[kuricosmos]

This is bittersweet news but I'm glad we learned what little we did from this interview! Tetsuya Nomura has always been my professional inspiration, a mentor without even knowing I exist.

[Rainos]

it would not surprise me if kingdom hearts will be done in the next decade and the last game tetsuya nomura works on is kingdom hearts 6.

[dannymerfeld]

Nomura absolutely deserves to have his retirement and 100% deserves to enjoy it. I just hope he finishes Kingdom Hearts first. So many series have been exploited as cash cows be companies that inevitably run them into the ground, and I would hate to see that happen to Kingdom Hearts.

[malikmiller]

It’s been a fun ride nomura, you did amazing for this series. May your heart be your guiding key. I hope someone takes his place.

[N-isLive]

Honestly, I prior to him saying this, I never even came to the idea of Kingdom hearts truly ending. Just something that will forever continue. But now thinking about it, I think within the next few titles, it would be perfect to receive a true ending. A finished and completed story. End it with his retirement. I think it will be a beautiful thing

[xxGhostfreak]

Ok before he retires we need that versus xiii remake asap. No but all seriousness he made my childhood with to me imo the greatest game KH2 and hours I’ve played that really special.

[zeroknight]

Nomura deserves his retirement. Since he had been working for so many years to bring us countless games.

[redlox]

That do for covering this HMK! This video was great to watch!
