'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them
"I think it's better not to release something than to release something weird, so I don't have any negative feelings about that," Yoko said.

Billionaires should be funding whatever Yoko Taro is cooking instead of trying to destroy earth and democracy.
One of the few game developers trying to write for the medium of gaming instead of trying to write a book/movie and slap it into a game. One of the few who eschews the three-act arc so prevalent in plays and films.
He really understands that as a different medium you should play to the mediums strengths and how the medium functions for storytelling like his attempts synthesize meaning between gameplay and story. Writing for games shouldn't be like writing for books or films because while analogous they are nowhere near the same kind of mediums.

Yoko Taro (and other creatives) shouldn't need to rely on the grace of billionaires in order to perform their craft.
They don’t.
I’m just saying that it would be 100% better than all the shit the billionaires are doing.
easier to destroy than create :(
Counterpoint: These bastards
I've been trying to destroy one for 3 years and it's the happiest plant I've ever raised
I want to play 900 more yoko taro games
I hope Drakengard -5+30.457832 wasn't among the cancelled games.
I really loved Nier games. Hope he makes something similarly weird someday.
He wrote that wearing Emil's head.
Everything Yoko Taro makes is totally not weird and completely normal. Its all of us that are weird, clearly.
Emil is wearing his head
genuinely devastating. one of the finest creatives around :(
I still miss Nier: Reincarnation.
