I'm meeting Yoko Taro tomorrow, what should I ask him?
>>
>>380114459
How did he come up with Emils character design.
What inspired him for Drakengard/NieR storyline?
>>
If he ever finished that one Nietzsche book he read in high school
>>
>>380114459
Did he eat a legend?

I'd like to know how difficult wrangling a budget from square was for automata, but he'd probably not answer that.

"How were the tacos?"

>>380114459
Onee-sans or Imoutos?
>>
>>380115518
The Dragon Quest creator just tells Square Enix to let Taro make games and they listen because he's the fucking maker of Dragon Quest.

If i pull that off will you die?
>>
>>380114459
Ask him why he decided to rob people of decent gameplay by forcing us to play as 9s and forcefucking us with cutscenes also the shitty camera angle sections and the flying sections, yeah, ask him that, id also add the not so cool combat but i think i already asked enough.
>>
>>380114459
Ask him about pc. Does he plays on pc? If yes what are his favorite pc games? Does he has steam account?

You can understand why I may find acquiring a budget for Nier Automata difficult, right?

It seems so much of the industry only shells out for realistic based games. That's pretty cool to read though.

As I read it, Squeenix was willing to fund Taro, but they said it had to get good reviews. Taro complained that they never give him the budget for quality developers and playtesting, and it hung around in limbo for a while until Platinum caught wind of it and said, "We'll do it for cheap because we love Yoko Taro games."

So now Taro has proven that he can really make good games when he has a competent staff, so hopefully Squeenix will be willing to give him better deals moving forward.
>>
>>380120865
Hopefully with Platinum on board. Automata has some issues but it's a joy to play through.
>>
How much did he actually work on Sin of Alice? Did square just ask him to put his name there?
>>
>>380121383
Yeah I seriously hope that wasn't a one-time collaboration because Platinum has some seriously good coders on staff. Besides just the combat, the way the camera and controls smoothly transition between full-3D, 2.5D, and top-down is really well done. I think in the same interview Taro was actually so impressed with how efficiently Platinum worked, he often didn't know what to do with himself. With his past studios he would often spend most of the day complaining, trying to get the team to understand his vision or redesigning the game to work around their limitations, but with Platinum he just says, "I want this" and they've got a prototype ready within a week. He had so little to do he often would just get drunk at work and cheer everyone on.

God. What a life. I'm so happy for you Taro-san.
>>
>>380114459
Tell him that he should have absolutely put the 2B/9S material in the fucking game, that Pearl Harbor should have been playable, that seeing Adam inviting 9S could have been one of the most powerful vidya scene ever, that the game needed much better bosses, that in general he should polish everything much more and that he should finally find a way to not make the secondary quests tedious. But the most important thing is that I'm glad that his games exist and that we are lucky that there is a director with a real personal vision in the industry.
>>
>>380120865
Nice. Nier looks a little rough, but I appreciate it's at least depicting interesting things rather than a high fidelity game depicting reality.

I guess according to Yoko Taro he did

>"I decided to have the army of the protagonist in Drakengard be one where everyone’s insane, to create this twisted organization where everyone’s wrong and unjust. I wanted to weave a tale about these twisted people. And then we worked on Nier…We created this game called Nier, and after the world experienced the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq, we were being bombarded with updates on terrorist organizations and activities even in Japan. That’s when my opinion changed. The vibe I was getting from society was: you don’t have to be insane to kill someone. You just have to think you’re right. So that’s why I made Nier a game revolving around this concept of “being able to kill others if you think you’re right,” or “everyone believes that they’re in the right."

Oh shit, I >>380122960 thought OP was joking. I'll think about some real questions after I finish studying, thanks OP, hope the thread will still be alive.
I seriously think that someone should point out that the 2B/9S material should have absolutely been in the game, though, a huge part of people's reception would have been different in that case.

He already has a wife.

She dev'd Katamari and Taiko Drum Master series.

They also have a kid and a studio together.

My honest guess is that he'll develop a game with his wife and his studio after this now that he'll have the necessary funds and clout.
>>
>>380114459
Ask him which 2hu he would fuck.
>>
>>380114459
Ask about the possibility of getting Replicant (or both Replicant and Gestalt) on steam and PS4.
On twitter he used a shop made by an anon to joke about that possibility, so a direct question shouldn't feel out of place.

Like, I get what they were going for, and it makes sense after you've read the extra materials, but at the time it seemed like it came out of nowhere.

If he'd do that he could be charged with murder of all the waifufags that bought the game for 2B's ass.

In all honesty I can't really figure out what kind of question I'd ask him, mostly because he feels like the person I'd want to be if I ever manage to get into gamedev.

What's up with all the Nazi imagery in Automata? What is it supposed tonrepsresent?

Why have a StG44, a Ho229, and stahlhelms galore exactly 10000 years after WWII? Why Pearl Harbor? If Yoruba are the axis, who are the allies?

That's a matter related to the "how", how to show it, how much, and at which points it should have be showed. We aren't directors so we aren't the one who can answer about the "how", but as a player , as his fan and as someone who has read tons of comment about this game I'm absolutely sure that the characters really needed those scenes in the game to actually "work".

>>380131095
"Out of nowhere" is an exaggeration, the game conveys that there is something really strange about their relationship under the surface through their actions and by visual narration, like how 2B suddenly reacted in the tutorial when 9s got damaged, or the way in which 2B strangled 9S in route A that really conveyed a lot about them in a not verbal way, fucking top notch direction. In route C when 9S faces A2 it gets explicitly explained, so it can't be considered a plot hole either.
The problem is that wasn't enough to make the player complete involved and fulfilled in their story, and the whole revelation at the end of route C felt pretty flat because of that. With that material in the story it would have been a different experience, some of their actions are good and well told hints, but that's all, they aren't contents that can properly involves the player. And many people didn't even noted those hints, which made that part even worse for them.

Talking about the "how", IMO the ideal would have been
Route A with those hints
Route B part of the material gets told here in a way that there is a creepy escalation. In that way Route B becomes much more story relevant and incisive.
Route C last details and explicit answers.
