Nomura just needs to get laid

[Dream Machine]

I'm sorry. Versus looks REALLY GOOD, so don't get me wrong at all in this oncoming tangent, but seriously? Looking at this new information and Nomuras fondness for pretty-boys and such, who else gets the feeling Nomura is a bit repressed?

Versus so far is shaping up to be an all male party of close "friends" who seem to be waaaaay into each other. The only antagonist-type person we've seen so far is a horrible mean FEMALE with a cool sword and I've already seen two headlocks.

The last time I saw this much suppressed homosexuality I was at a frat party.

Nomuras always had this thing for under-the-surface man-on-man loving, from Squall and Seifers marking each other with thier gunblades (the two most phallic weapons ever created) to Crisis Core's four way man-love fest (seriously, what?) and Weiss and Nero's breathy love. I'm expecting yaoi fanpeoples to explode in lust over Versus. but Nomura is so obviously repressed as he won't ever make a gay/bisexual relationship in any of his games, just under currents of man loving.

Oh yeah and he's friends with Gackt.

I'm saying this whole thing mainly in jest, but my point does stand. Nomura just needs to have sex with a guy, get it out of his system and then stop pumping an endless supply of ridiculously pretty boys (who all have super-fun-close-times) into his games.

[Rade]

Oh good god. I stopped reading half-way because of how dumb this topic is. Just because you see gayness in every little thing doesn't mean shit. 'Oh noez there are 4 guys and they are good friends THEY MUST BE GAYZ' 'Oh noez they cut each other with their swords IT MUST MEAN THEY WANNA DO EACH OTHER'. Gimme a break.

Maybe you need to stop being a bit homophobic and a bit more open-minded.

[Dream Machine]

LMAO, I'm bisexual.

I didn't say it was bad, just that its obviously the signs of someone repressed. I'm a writer and if I constantly churned out breathy 'friendship' tales between good looking guys I think they'd be a problem there too.

[Rade]

This is the first time Nomura has ever done anything like this. We don't even know if this is the full cast-list. Believe it or not, guys can actually be good friends without having sex.

[Dream Machine]

Yes i do know that, I have plenty of male AND female friends I've never had sex with. I'm physically close with some too so its not that. I just see all the phallic imagery and the fact that almost all of them are so pretty and all the weird bonding they do as signs of repressed homosexuality. Maybe thats just me!

[Kätharina]

Nomura likes super happy fun. <3

[Naunen]

I don't find a thing wrong with the cast thus far. O_o

[Dark Vincent]

I have to say when I read the topic title I thought "ok this is going to be some bullshit immature person typing a lot of insults but let's see" and damn, I'M GLAD I READ IT ALL.

The best part is that I actually agree with all of your points lol

finalfantasy-xiii.net's first Epic thread in the making!

EDIT: Someone summon the Fangirls of the Round!
Btw I didn't mean I think you are immature or anything, I didn't read who wrote the thread when I saw the title 8D~

[Kurai Warrior]

Um... okay... so you saw headlocks.... that makes them homosexual...?
your basing this on like 4 screen shots....and come on Final Fantasy guys have always been pretty, from slightly pretty to very pretty, its not going to change. This is basically like saying Yuna Rikku and Pain are lesbos... stop over thinking obvious relationships...
Plus you don't even know Nomura.... how could you even begin to guess what he needs?

How do figure that? Not every guy likes being around women in their teens, y'know. :cookie:

I really don't see anything wrong with switching up the generic 3-4 female and male characters staple. Also, you have to take into mind that the entire cast of useable/main characters hasn't even been presented yet. It's a bit too early to start screaming homosexual at one of the characters just because he has a posse consisting of only males who like to pal around.

Nomura is so obviously repressed as he won't ever make a gay/bisexual relationship in any of his games, just under currents of man loving.

He looks like he should be the frontman for the latest hip pop-punk band only without tattoos or mascara. I second the bastard ugly motion.

The Prince would go for someone totally more better looking than him :rolleyes:

And for you people saying we need a new character designer, I'd like to see you churn out as many character designs as Nomura has to in a year and make them look even a little bit different. At least they all have original hair-styles and clothes; it's alot harder to make facial structures look different than you think.

[Dark Vincent]

Amano quit -__-Amano failed anyways.

And we don't need a new designer, we just need Nomura to get laid.

Maybe I'm using the 'arguement from personal experience!' too much, but most guys I/other people who I know who are male have messed around with, usually go around in all male groups. Homosocial cultures breed this sort of thing, lolz.

Some people are taking this too seriously, youz all just need to chillax.

Gay guys hand round weman, couse they feel more confertable round them, and so do weman, but last bisexual dude that end up next to my gf.. well i dont think he likes me very much.

he used his bisexual status to grab my gf ass, and tryed to kiss her in front of me... his xcuse was that he was drunk.. well my xcuse for his black eye and his pain on one of his nuts was.. "F off and dont touch up my gf ever again.. "

Iv met a few bisexual guys, that say they are Bi, so they can touch up weman, stupid enough it actualy works.

[The One Winged Angel]

This is absurd and it seems a lot of people understands nothing else than sexual relationships. The male characters does not mean gay. There are lot of men who are close friends and does not think of having sex with each other. And I believe Nomura deserves something better for his amazing work.

[Kitmitsu]

I don't think you should take this thread as seriously as you seem to be. The title may be about sex but the original poster is talking about a topic which a lot of people agree with. It just happened to incorporate sexuality. Just because he does "amazing work" doesn't mean we can't be critical of it.

[Desi]

Just because he does "amazing work" doesn't mean we can't be critical of it.You can't be critical because it is categorized as hate. Look at my post anything FF related, I must hate FF because of it!!

[AT23]

From what I've read so far, I don't think I found anyone to be "wrong" really, it's just a point of view or how each person interprets it for their own mind and values. I don't think there's anything gay about the characters in this game, nor the previous games, Nomura just likes to illustrate what my girl friends would call "bishy"(bishounen - pretty) boys, as that's his style. If you look at japanese or asian people anyways, some of them have feminine look, and the strive for "style" or "cool looks" just tend to be towards looking "pretty" in those cultures. Yes, it's at least partially culture.

But by all means, if Nomura has created fictional characters that make some people think there is some underlying messages about them being gay, he has everyone fooled and that's probably another accomplishment of his.

[Neal]

That's quite wrong, poorly written and irrelevant. kthx. :aldo:

[Reviarth]

I didn't know what to make of this topic at first lol. I don't think having 4 guys that hang out with each other automatically means they have homosexual intentions, although I wouldn't mind if the main character was gay though but I highly doubt it, he's probably gonna end up with that magic using rapier girl.....what the hell I'll just call her "The Red Mage"

[Anima]

Augh ok...just cause Nomura draws lots of "pretty boys" doesn't make him gay. Hell I'm seen alot of girls on deviantART that draw beautiful women, does that make them lesbians....no. They just like to draw the female figure. I'm a girl but when I draw women I tend to make them look pretty..is it cause I think they're hot, no. It's the same with Nomura, he just likes to draw men. Geez.... >>

[Reviarth]

Yeah exactly I like to draw men more than women well...I am BI but Its just easier drawing the male figure more than the female for me.....unfortunately but yeah thats true Anima just cus he likes to make pretty men doesn't necessarily mean he's interested in them lol, but who knows?

[Passion]

This sounds random but looking through LOADS of threads lately I've noticed there's like alot of Bi people on this forum, even me!

:cookie: Sidney's Fact Of The Day!

[Desi]

So all you Bi people are just supporting the fact that Nomura needs to get in the sack with a man. He can't keep up his Gilgamesh & Enkidu relations between characters without people seeing through the guise!

[Naunen]

Bah, this thread is so controversial.

[Passion]

o_____O What the hell?

[Dark Vincent]

That's quite wrong, poorly written and irrelevant. kthx. :aldo:Actually depending on your country's culture it's quite right. Gay guys here do tend to hang around women or work at predominantly female places. Ie: Female fashion related business and barbers/hairstylists. I only know one male hairstylist in the area I live in. There must be more in the city of course, but out of 4-5 barbershops I've been to, there's only one man-barber, the rest are gay or women. Mostly gay. Imo they even do a better job than the others. But as I said, it's a cultural thing.

And Desi, it's not the bi people who say that. I'm hetero, I still think Nomura needs to get laid with a guy. It's not the fact Versus has 4 guy friends hanging around together that makes him suspiciously gay, heck my group irl is composed of 5 people all of which are guys.
However, looking at Nomura's new group, the fact they are all super pretty and have delicate features/expressions, along with his past works (Squall and the Advent Children characters) makes it all a bit strange. Cloud actually seemed male on the original FF7, but his expressions and talk on AC... I don't know. Kadaj and his trio are three faces of homosexuality. The narcissistic homo, the brute homo and the "quasi-female". Genesis could be a better character but it turns out he is another repressed gay guy. They are not even the gallant metro guy that many designers tend to create, they are repressed gays.

No, that's your opinion mixed in with a stereotype. I am gay myself and I know quite a few gay people from both britz and america :aldo: that don't necessarily fit that description of hanging around with girls "because it makes them feel more comfortable" :lol:

[Rade]

Have any of you actually seen Japanese guys lately? They're ALL pretty for cryin out loud :rolleyes: The 'pretty-boy' look that Nomura does is simply the most popular style in Japan, it doesn't have anything to do with anyone's sexuality.

[Passion]

Actually depending on your country's culture it's quite right. Gay guys here do tend to hang around women or work at predominantly female places. Ie: Female fashion related business and barbers/hairstylists.

Not really. I know loads of gay people that hang around with predominately male groups and that would spit at the idea of working in things like fashion and hairstyling.

I'm not gay, and the group I hang around with is prodominately females compared to us few males. It's just 'cause there is more male chavs than female in our area.

[Lightning188]

oh boy.People headlocks does NOT mean that they are gay,Headlocking is part of goofing around. Geez talk about judging before thinking.And Of course they are very good looking they 're game characters.

[deceptacon]

orly ? what about the "ugly game characters - why (http://forums.finalfantasy-xiii.net/showthread.php?t=2739) ?" thread

[Hitoshura]

Just because the game characters are "pretty boys" doesn't mean they like it up the butt....

[deceptacon]

i'm a pretty girl and i like it up the butt

what does that make me ?

[Naunen]

Bah! Nomura Final Fantasy games usually are pretty open-ended in interpretation. There's no right or wrong in video game interpretation. So if you think they're gay, fine. If not, fine. No difference, for crying out loud! It's just a goddamn individual interpretation. Yet... Why state it like it's true, Dream Machine? At least, in the title.

I don't know why you're disagreeing with Vincent seeing as you just proved his point that it's related to your country and your culture. I'm presuming here that you're not in Brazil as he is.

[Neal]

His point was gay people hang around with girls, which is wrong.

[Dark Vincent]

No, that's your opinion mixed in with a stereotype. I am gay myself and I know quite a few gay people from both britz and america :aldo: that don't necessarily fit that description of hanging around with girls "because it makes them feel more comfortable" :lol:Because we all know Britain and USA are so different culturally and they are also the only cultures in the world right?
Over here there are even "hetero clubs/bars" and "homo clubs/bars". My sister and her friends used to go to homo clubs all the time because of their gay friends. Any male there is assumed to be homo (and most women too, but less often).
And no my point wasn't that gay people hang around with women, it's that, depending on your country's culture (read my post again, and Whip's post) it may be correct to say that gay people hang around women and do tend to look for jobs where they can "extrovert" their real selves. I don't know how your country is, but over here homosexuality isn't so widely accepted though most people will say they have no problems with it. This leads to gay people forming their own "ghettos" and grouping up with those who share some similarities with them. I could even flourish this post with several examples I've seen and/or still do see over here these days :P
Of course, not everyone is like that, but my point still stands. It's a matter of culture.

[Neal]

Perhaps, but at the same time you make the point about cultures which is exactly what this is. :aldo: They're not gay, it's just the design from the culture.

it may be correct to say that gay people hang around women and do tend to look for jobs where they can "extrovert" their real selves. I don't know how your country is, but over here homosexuality isn't so widely accepted though most people will say they have no problems with it. This leads to gay people forming their own "ghettos" and grouping up with those who share some similarities with them.

Well, to a degree it's similar here. Gay people tend to get a long with each other for some reason as far as I know. I guess there's not many to talk to and you feel like you've got something to relate to.

Fair enough, but in my experience I don't think sexuality is anything to do with what gender you hang around with. :P Here anyway.

[Hextan]

Wow what a fantastic thread to come back to. I have a few things to say. Before anyone asks and even if nobody cares I am Bi. Anyway, what Nomura does or needs to do in his private time is exactly that private. However If one were to speculate that these drawings of men all goofing off with each other and with the slightly feminine-ness(?) and such, is becuase of repressed homosexuality than yes, I think it would be great for him to jump in the sack with a guy. Oh and I agree to some extent that Nomura is just drawing the current style. I mean I wouldn't know much about the style in Japan for guys right now but it would appear to be slightly... pretty I guess. Again, nothing wrong with that. Also, not saying they are, but maybe they all are gay. Okay well maybe not all, but maybe some are gay like I don't know 2... Then to Nomura it wouldn't be hidden and repressed. It's just not public knowledge. I hope one of them is gay personally. Mass Effect has a lesbian couple... thing... going on. Why not the same with two guys. I mean really, my personal oppinion is that when we refer to "next-gen" it isn't just talk about graphics, AI, and such but also ideas of the stories in the games themselves. I don't fully understand what I just said right there but basically times are changing, huray for homos in games.? Maybe... okay well... yeah... hmmmm... Oh yeah conclusion! Nomura should bang, people in this forum need to relax a little, and some of the Versus guys need to have scenes together like in Mass Effect*. <---- Why? Because It's about damn time.;)


P.S. I think this should be moved, not neccesary, just a suggestionz...



*Hextan is totally not praying at his bed every night for something like this to happen

[Thimien]

Based on alot of the things people have posted here, im guessing there alot of gay people here, since we all have male friends just like Nomura, and hang about together.. and i dont see anything gay in KHs games.. none of the caracters look gay.. and if the man is gay who gives a crap.. as long as the games come out fine.. its all good to me.

[Nagase]

stop pumping an endless supply of ridiculously pretty boysI agree that they needs to stop churning out pretty boys tbh. Can we for have a main character who doesn't seem like he would wear drag every now and then?

I mean, a great example is someone like Ichigo from Bleach. Not manly like a wrestler but just....normal? ROFL.

Get rid of the baby face characters who look like they'd be played by Leonardo Dicaprio, it's got repetitive. We have seen this same type of character for the last painful amount of games.

And then they added someone so manly it was painful (basch or whatever his name was).

For once can we get someone who isn't:

1) Emo (I really can't stand emo's)
2) Camp (Funny but we've seen it to many times and now it's becoming un original.
3) Baby face's (It's just not cool)
4) Borderline Closet Gay.
3) A mixture of all 4.

Like I said, an Ichigo like character would be awesome because he has some character.

Yezz the gayz love Final Fantasy, no but really it's kind of true. I'm happy with it though. Kind of like a fringe benefit really. Love a select few of you :wub:!! Yes I have noticed that anytime a "gay" character has been in a game they have been very campy(?) If I am using the word correctly. So yeah not a fan of that. And I say "gay" simply because it has never been like yes that person is gay they just make them that gay so that you know without a doubt, that one is homosexual. I heard a rumor that an Orginization XIII member in KH2 was supposed to be gay but instead Nomura turned him into a sadist. I don't think it's true but that trade would be rather odd wouldn't it?

No I definitely know Demyx is queer "acting" but if he was definitely gay I don't know. Also I don't really have much respect for the whole "act" gay idea. Whether a person is gay or not does not determine the way that they act. Although, sadly, in most cases it is a clue... Or a bright multicolored flashing sign that points to Dante... :wub: Wi wubbles woo!!!!

And in the two places I've lived you're generally believed to be gay if most of your friends are girls. I don't think that because alot of my friends were girls back where I live full-time but I'm not gay. At least not yet, Dante's turning me :aldo:

This actualy could be a cool thread, like in my case, i can see the deference in all the caracters he has come up with, alot of them are really cool... but what would be a really New and Original Design for a FF game??

OK FF13 design has a alot of FF7 and FF8 as far as caracter design goes... what could he come up with?

[Hextan]

Those kind of character designs are Nomura's element. I personally love his character design and don't mind the repetitiveness. Even though every character has spiky hair, crazy clothes, and ZIPPERS I love them all, and every carachter feels individual to me. When I first found out about XIII and VXIII, and the fact that Nomura was character designer on both, I got really excited. I couldn't wait to see what the new characters would look like, even though I knew basically what I was going to get. Those are the kinds of designs that look cool to me and I like seeing them from him.

[Whiplash]

You forgot leather and he occasionally mixes it up by throwing in some buckles.

[Hextan]

Ah yes his two other favorite accessories, how could I forget. Although in FMVs in KH It's hard to tell what exact material those clothes are made out of. I mean I personally don't mind, it looks cool. But gee must make it hard for cosplayers, and I wouldn't even want to imagine being the costume designer if KH were to be a live action movie or something. Hooray for synthetic materials I guess.

I think I like you, mister Hextan. ^________^

Honestly, I just like the style, so any whining for anything new just sounds like random whining to me >____> Every game has to pick a style, and I just plain like FF's. It'd be a disaster to have too much "unique character" to every character, I think, and if they made just one random character in a different style, he'd just look like an add-on. ~_~

The character design has to fit the story and theme, too. I can't see a character like Ichigo working in an FF story, much less as a main character. I think the stories are generally too reflective.

Agreed and beautifully said, Blank. :thumbsup: It's said that Nomura's angular style makes it easier to put into graphics too. =\ *Amleya reveres Nomura's style*

Nomura is Nomura. It's his style. No matter how redundant it maybe, I still like it. Either you like his style or you don't. That simple.

I don't like his style.....I LOVE HIS STYLE! I always have... Final Fantasy is a unique franchise all by itself.... And did I mention that I love spiky hair..... it looks so coooooool. and if you add some unusual clothing with lots of zippers, buttons, belts, buckles, and pockets, then you'll have your self a final fantasy character. Which is just fine for me, the new designs for the Prince and Lightning look so cool <3

I don't see any homosexual references, not every action has a sexual cannotation to it. I think it's normal, the way they're acting. When did we reach the idea that people of the same gender can't be playful with one another without being homosexual?

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

...What a beautiful thread this was. <3

And yeah lolwut @ that many open gays/bis in the forum. First time I've ever seen so many in one sitting. Shit, truth is, most of the places I've been e-chillin' at are raided with ignorant homophobes. Sad, sad.
