Man, we really should have a thread that holds SE people's interviews. ^^;;
Anyways, my 12 year old cousin bought this magazine targeted for children here in the Philippines. And while I disagree on their opinion on FFXII, it has a short interview with Tetsuya Nomura. And will add it here. Hope you guys like it.
K-Zone p.74 Jan 2007 issue
Were there problems working with the pre-existing Disney characters of KH2?
Nomura: When you deal with characters with many constraints and rules it is quite tough, but it's challenging because you can try to combine to create a great game.
You've designed many characters' costumes. How do you feel when people cosplay them?
Nomura: Well, I'd never wear them myself [laughs] but when I see people wearing the newly designed outfits I'm happy. When I design for characters I try to be as realistic as possible. When I see people wearing the costumes of my characters I often notice that even those designs are not really realistic.
Did you grow up playing games?
Nomura: Actually, as a kid I had no ambition to work in video games. My family didn't have a computer.
What are you looking to achieve in Final Fantasy XIII?
Nomura: We need to meet the expectations of fans but bring something new to the Final Fantasy series. That is why I want to revolutianize Final Fantasy with the next game.

That surprised me a bit. But then again, a lot of things surprise me.

Oh Nomura, you're so awesome.
Short n sweet for the interview. I lol'ed at his point about seeing his designs in a real life costume lol.

I'm amused he made a disclaimer that he never gave thought of wearing said clothes.

Hmmm, how reliable is that interview?How did they get a hold of Nomura?
Not that i think they would lie about the interview...I'm just curious how they contacted him.
(And this is kind of biased,but I hate K-Zone XD I hate they're juvenile view on things...they probably said that Tifa and Cloud are girlfriend and boyfriend :rolleyes:)

It was kind of short.
