Final Fantasy dev/Kingdom Hearts creador dice Super Mario 64 "realmente moldeado" sus principios rectores en el desarrollo del juego

Tetsuya Nomura is one of the most prolific developers in the game industry. Nomura cut his teeth on the Final Fantasy franchise as a monster designer, and he soon went on to be deeply involved in the franchise, even serving as director on the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. As if that wasn’t enough, Nomura also gave birth to the Kingdom Hearts franchise, which he still spearheads to this day. With an amazing body of work to his name, it’s easy to see that Nomura has forever cemented his place in gaming history.

As part of Famitsu’s 40th anniversary issue the writing team spoke to a number of big games in the game industry, Tetsuya Nomura included. During their discussion with Nomura, he revealed that out of all the games he’s ever played, it’s none other than Super Mario 64 that helped steer him in understanding how characters should move within a 3D space.

“It differs from era to era, but the game that truly shaped my current guiding principle ‘to be able to move freely in full 3D’ is Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64. At the time, the Final Fantasy game I was working on had also become 3D, but only the characters were 3D data, the backgrounds were made in 3D but rendered as a single image, so it was not yet possible to move around freely in 3D space. However, I felt the sensation of running around freely, like Mario, was the thing that I wanted to create.”
