Is this guy related to Akira Toriyama, Dragonball Z creator who has worked for Square in the past? --81.154.219.31 (talk) 18:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Poorly sourced claims
The lines about "wrong game design" and Motomu Toriyama being an incompetent director conflict with Wikipedia stance on neutrality. According to Wikipedia policy on biographies of living persons it should be removed if no reliable sources provided. --Rernar78 (talk) 10:21, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the article. Jonathan Hardin&#39; (talk) 16:10, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've added back two points that were neutral in view. The part about Kitase wanting to keep working with him and the part about his philosophy on game design being polar opposite to Hiroyuki Ito. G-Zay (talk) 18:20, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Source: http://i.imgur.com/sRYJZ86.png --> As stated within this wiki article, he helped create the Final Fantasy VII: Technical Demo and in that image shows credits on Crisis Core, which gives special thanks to all the staff part of that.

This wikipedia page states "He later collaborated with Final Fantasy X main programmer Koji Sugimoto and supervisor Yoshinori Kitase to create a Final Fantasy VII tech demo for the PlayStation 3." -- That image shows the "special thanks" credit with crediting the Final Fantasy VII Tech Demo staff for PS3, which includes Motomu Toriyama.

Here is the source for this one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COoSEZnU8AAJSjq.png -- Motomu Toriyama listed as a special thanks towards the credits of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

While CyborgHD13 doesn't appear to be another sockpuppet of G-Zay, it looks like this user is in direct contact with him on Twitter and inserts his misinformation here. Probably oblivious to the fact, too.Xiomicronpi (talk) 21:35, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Can you add back 358/2 Days please? The proof was already provided. (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COoSEZnU8AAJSjq.png). The proof for Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster, PS4, is that he worked on the PS3 and vita versions. Crisis Core also please.

Motomu Toriyama's birthday is February 9
In the credits for Bahamut Lagoon, it says "Happy Birthday" for Motomu Toriyama. The game was released on February 9 so his birthday is most likely February 9. https://i.imgur.com/NK4cvdP.png — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.190.36.101 (talk) 05:29, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

It is not useful to have every 'Special Thanks' credit on this persons history. It makes finding out what he actually worked on quite difficult at a glance. For example, he didn't contribute anything to Shadowbringers, so why have it on his 'Gameography'?

If need be, I'd suggest moving the 'Special Thanks' references seperately. 82.0.118.112 (talk) 13:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. Seems this would need a more thorough discussion as there is nothing against having Special Thanks credits listed as far as I am aware.     Alucard 16  ❯❯❯ chat?    05:12, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
