Nomura joined the film's crew after producer Yoshinori Kitase called him and eventually became the director because of his attachment to the character of <a href="/wiki/Cloud_Strife" title="Cloud Strife">Cloud Strife</a>.<a href="#cite_note-gspot-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-twointerview-17">[17]</a> He split the role of directing with Takeshi Nozue.<a href="#cite_note-prologue-18">[18]</a> Kingdom Hearts II was released in 2005, resolving the elements foreshadowed in the first game's secret ending. As a result of being set a year after previous titles, Nomura was careful to make the plot accessible to newcomers.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> After Square Enix had finished development of the updated version Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Nomura was approached by Disney which expressed interest in a sequel. He said "We have various ideas, but we're not at the point where we can say that."<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> Wishing to stop using the character of Sora temporarily, Nomura instead wanted to continue the series with games that explained different subplots. This resulted in the creation of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_358/2_Days" title="Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days">Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days</a> for the Nintendo DS in 2008 which explored events that set up the story of Kingdom Hearts II.<a href="#cite_note-ScenarioMysteries-21">[21]</a> In mid-2007, Nomura mentioned a desire to create a spin-off Kingdom Hearts game on a mobile platform and wanted it to play slightly differently from other titles in the series. The result was <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_Coded" title="Kingdom Hearts Coded">Kingdom Hearts Coded</a>, a game set after the events of Kingdom Hearts II, which was later remade for the Nintendo DS in 2010.<a href="#cite_note-JS-PortableKH-22">[22]</a> In the meantime, Nomura was also responsible for the main character designs and orchestration of <a href="/wiki/The_World_Ends_with_You" title="The World Ends with You">The World Ends with You</a> for the Nintendo DS. In 2009, he was also the main character designer of <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIII" title="Final Fantasy XIII">Final Fantasy XIII</a>. The graphics capabilities of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 compared to previous consoles allowed Nomura to use more complex elements in the character designs than before, such as Lightning's cape and detailed facial features. This in turn meant that the art team had to do much more work for each character or area than in previous games. Nomura did not take an involved role in the creation of the <a href="/wiki/3D_interactive_characters" class="mw-redirect" title="3D interactive characters">non-playable characters</a>.<a href="#cite_note-SUCHARint-23">[23]</a> In 2008, he was the character designer of <a href="/wiki/Dissidia_Final_Fantasy" title="Dissidia Final Fantasy">Dissidia Final Fantasy</a>. The game was originally envisioned by Nomura as a Kingdom Hearts spin-off featuring a cast of Disney characters. He later felt uncomfortable with the Disney characters fighting each other and instead opted to use Final Fantasy characters.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Nomura was responsible for the character designs, which changed much of the look and style of Amano's illustrations.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2010s">2010s</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Tetsuya_Nomura&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 2010s" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In 2010, Square released <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_Birth_By_Sleep" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep">Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep</a>, a prequel of the first Kingdom Hearts that explained scenes shown in Kingdom Hearts II and its updated version.<a href="#cite_note-ScenarioMysteries-21">[21]</a> In early 2011, Square released a follow-up to Dissidia titled <a href="/wiki/Dissidia_012_Final_Fantasy" title="Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy">Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy</a>. The game carried several ideas Nomura had ever since early development, such as the inclusion of new characters and new gameplay mechanics.<a href="#cite_note-system-27">[27]</a> For 2011's <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIII-2" title="Final Fantasy XIII-2">Final Fantasy XIII-2</a>, Nomura only created the new characters' faces as other staff members designed their clothes.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> Once the Kingdom Hearts coded remake was released, Nomura and his companions had already thought about creating <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_3D:_Dream_Drop_Distance" title="Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance">Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance</a>, a game that would set up the events of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_III" title="Kingdom Hearts III">Kingdom Hearts III</a>.

He worked as the director of the project, character designer, and concept designer. After a successful launch, Nomura would go on to work on downloadable content for the game called "intermission", which released in 2021. The follow-up <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Rebirth" title="Final Fantasy VII Rebirth">Final Fantasy VII Rebirth</a> was released in 2024. He worked as the creative director, concept designer, and character designer. Work for that project began in 2019.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_IV" title="Kingdom Hearts IV">Kingdom Hearts IV</a> was announced in April 2022,<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> with Nomura again in charge of the character design, the story, and the concept design. As of February 2025<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tetsuya_Nomura&action=edit">[update]</a>, no release date has been confirmed. Nomura also created art pieces for his characters on post cards which could be purchased in October 2022.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> He also created artwork which was used to introduce Kingdom Hearts IV, which displayed many of the characters he has created through the games long timespan.<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Style_and_influences">Style and influences</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Tetsuya_Nomura&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Style and influences" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Nomura considers <a href="/wiki/Yoshitaka_Amano" title="Yoshitaka Amano">Yoshitaka Amano</a> one of his biggest inspirations when doing artwork.<a href="#cite_note-FlareG-8">[8]</a> His four "seniors" <a href="/wiki/Hironobu_Sakaguchi" title="Hironobu Sakaguchi">Hironobu Sakaguchi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Yoshinori_Kitase" title="Yoshinori Kitase">Yoshinori Kitase</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hiroyuki_Ito" title="Hiroyuki Ito">Hiroyuki Ito</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tetsuya_Takahashi" title="Tetsuya Takahashi">Tetsuya Takahashi</a> were also described as major influences.<a href="#cite_note-IwataAsks-44">[44]</a> He even compared Sakaguchi to something "like a godly figure" during his early days at Square. At that time, Nomura was also taught the basics of game design by Ito. He told Nomura never to stick to existing concepts but rather to reuse just specific ideas and explained concepts such as ease of control and effortless accessibility of magic spells.<a href="#cite_note-SiliconeraNomura2-4">[4]</a> Ito's work as a battle system designer inspires Nomura when thinking of the gameplay system for the Kingdom Hearts games.<a href="#cite_note-IwataAsks-44">[44]</a> When designing characters, Nomura wants their names and outfits to be related with their personalities. An example occurs in Final Fantasy X where the protagonist <a href="/wiki/Tidus" title="Tidus">Tidus</a> was given a colorful uniform in order to reflect his cheerful personality and to contrast with the previous moody Final Fantasy characters. His name as well as <a href="/wiki/Yuna_(Final_Fantasy)" title="Yuna (Final Fantasy)">Yuna</a>'s, another character appearing in the game, also have a common theme, the former being Okinawan for "Sun" and the latter Okinawan for "night".<a href="#cite_note-FlareG-8">[8]</a> Various characters such as <a href="/wiki/Squall_Leonheart" class="mw-redirect" title="Squall Leonheart">Squall Leonheart</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lulu_(Final_Fantasy)" title="Lulu (Final Fantasy)">Lulu</a> are given multiple accessories, making the games more challenging for the programmers.<a href="#cite_note-FlareG-8">[8]</a> When directing Advent Children, Nomura explained how the film was different from Western films due to the lack of direct answers from the plot. He added that he wants viewers to interpret certain scenes themselves and then discuss them with friends as another way to enjoy the film.<a href="#cite_note-prologue-18">[18]</a> The same occurs within the Kingdom Hearts series where the scenes that show unknown characters are left to the player's imagination until the following scene reveals it.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> </section><div
