Is Tetsuya Nomura to Square Enix what Hideo Kojima is to Konami?

From what I've gathered, Hideo Kojima has quite a bit more influence over his own games and the platforms they go to than the company that publishes them (Konami). Does the same hold true for Tetsuya Nomura in relation to Square Enix, or is it much more different then some people are letting on?

i think its about the same.

both have great hits under their belts. neither company wants to see them go.

kojima didnt want to port mgs4 he refused it.

nomura has said he wont port ffvs13.

see what happens i guess

Well Kojima has his own studio, Kojima Productions, which is funded by Konami.

Nomura works for Square Enix, which is just Square Enix, and it's huge

Thats true, Kojima does have his own studio.

Question: Does Kojima own the rights to the MGS franchise or does Konami? (Seriously, I'm not sure)

Does it really matter? And why make your own thread when there's one related to this in another?sargentbotk

A developers influence over where a game goes is just that, influence, in the end the Publisher makes the decision where a game goes. Taking the developers influence into account.

Yea, he didn't say it like that, what he said was he wants to keep MGS4 PS3 exclusive and make other games for the other systems.

I think kojima productions owns the franchise now, but they choose KONAMI publish it for them.

No, because if he was Final Fantasy 13 would of stayed exclusive.Aljosa23

no, i think he's only designing characters for regular XIII
