It was the first JRPG for a lot of people in the late 90s, of course it's accesible on the GAMEPLAY level.
Evidently the story was slightly less accessible which is why after years of people shitting on it, there's a greater appreciation now.

Nomura was one of the writers on FF7, so was Nojima who is the main story writer of FF7 and nearly every other FF7 related main story.

That said Nomura was only brought on late in remakes development to help with deadline management because the game had fallen so far behind and the person who should be considered the "story director" is Motomu Toriyama who was an event planner on 7 and designed parts like the Wall Market, Temple of the Ancients and most of the parts involving Cloud and Aerith. Motomu has been the main FF director since 10 and remake has way more in common with his directed games than they do Noruma's
