Tetsuya Nomura makes sure his protagonists look attractive because people don’t want to look ugly in the game world too.

In the interview, Nomura gives insight into his character design philosophy, the eccentric cast of Final Fantasy VII, and why he always makes sure the main character looks cool.

“When I was in high school, a classmate was playing a game where the main character wasn’t good looking.

They said, “Why do I have to be ugly in the game world too?”

Nomura goes onto explain that his current policy of making the main character attractive yet conventional and the antagonists eccentric didn’t apply to Final Fantasy VII.

However, Nomura concludes that the fact that Final Fantasy VII characters all stand out from each other in their individuality also makes them appealing.

Nomura also notes that Tifa and Aerith both had their hair tied back due to technological limitations of the time. »

Authored by theguardian.com

Russia was left badly isolated at a high-profile UN summit in New York when it made a surprise move to derail an ambitious pact designed to revive the UN – and failed.

The Russian move, at the outset of the two-day “summit for the future”, looked diplomatically clumsy, if perhaps designed for domestic consumption.

A major sticking point was western opposition to the UN playing a role in making international financial institutions more representative. »
