Yoko Taro now just feels like an Emil who got into our world and started making games retelling his past traumas and spreading his sorrow to others out of spite
as someone who just got Ending [E] in Automata, I've got to say I've never felt the statement "fuck you Squar Enix" more deeply and truly in my heart then after their name turned into a bullet hell spewer...
"Hello. I'm Keiichi Okabe, music director for NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... Since Replicant is getting an upgrade eleven years after its original release, I upgraded the music as well. Honestly, my music for the first game was already a masterpiece to begin with, so I didn't feel a need to change anything, but this bozo calling himslef YOKO kept whining. 'The tracks are too short! Make them longer!' so I tweaked them a little. I figured I'd get some big bucks for doing it, so might as well. Ooh, I just had an idea: I could use the money from this to buy a tropical island and build Okabe Land! That's the perfect future for one such as I who has climbed to the top of the music industry, wouldn't you say? I love money! Wah hah hah!" ... is what Okabe said in a dream I had. - Yoko Taro on the NieR Replicant 1.22 soundtrack.
Normally i dont comment but Yoko have a good charming personality that everyone loves Plus , he is self aware hence the self roasting This director is a gem
"You don't have to be insane to kill someone, you just have to think you're right" Damn that hits hard, every now and then I forget that Yoko is a mad genius and not just mad, but that is a good reminder.
That's actually very true in his stories, in automata 9s and A2 kill for their own reasons. In the book Nier automata YorHa boys, the founder of the council of humanity killed every android one of the bunkers including the Android who was his creator and mentor, who lied to him about being able to be an individual and live happily, he was actually just another unit to send to die, and that all androids are just like the machines, this drove him mad and he killed all of his fellow androids mercilessly, and forced the moon base to infinitely produce androids, and send out fake broadcasts, and this lie would forever give the androids a reason to keep fighting, to give them a god to worship, one that doesn't exist. It's insane that the story is so good, even in book form it's just as amazing, btw i only mentioned the prologue, the actual story is a about an experimental male only Android squadron that go through hell together, some hate each other, or are in love with each other, they die together, and their memory is reloaded with no memory of their death. And the healer Android is the most compassionate and pure of heart, but never goes into battle and has to carry that sort of burden with him, that he'll never be able to feel like he's truly giving his all, he's safe, while all his friends experience the pain of death, and all he can do is watch. That sort of position cana drive even the most kind soul to madness.
That’s actually a dostoevsky quote, in Crime and Punishment his character raskolnikov kills another person because of a philosophical theory and other rational justifications. Dostoevsky is the true genius behind this quote.
Yoko Taro is adorable. He's a genius. AND HE'S A DORK. But the last bit of the video, you all will have to agree, was genuinely beautiful. I'll never forget it, and it should remembered as one of the humblest, yet most elegant pieces of presentation for an artistic product in history. I love you Taro-Sensei.
I'm just now thinking, with Yoko Taro usually not showing his face and preferring to wear his Emil head, he could just become a Vtuber and avoid going out in public at all.
I extremely look up to this man as a person and creator. I love his way of storytelling and how he does things for his games. I only hope that I could reach to his degree of amazement one day. I'm glad I got to play to play his games, and witness his storytelling.
Yokotaro is a fucking legend!!! That graph that he was showing about Dragon Quest, Yakuza and Persona had my dying xD Imagining 2B and 9S in high school xD
This man is a true genius that the gaming world is lucky to have. His approach to story-telling and game building is so abstract, unique, subversive, and groundbreaking that no one will ever come close to imitating him and it would be a mistake to even try.
Man : so kaine had some of background story for why she is wearing such revealing outfit, is there same explanation for why 2b is like that? Yoko: uhhh... I like women
2:13 Is that really what he looks like without the mask?! Also awesome Persona reference there, haha. Gotta love Yoko Taro, he's dorky in an adorable way. Plus I can relate to him as someone who also has social anxiety lol.
we need to protect this dude at all costs.. (so we can continue to get great stuff from him obv) but also cause hes just fkn HILARIOUS 🤣 1:59 bruh went from Emil... to the Twitch 7TV WICKED emote in .5 seconds with the addition for thos shades 🤣 6:11 ... Valid 🤷🏾♂🤣
Man imagine if Josef Fares and Yoko Taro teamed up to make a game. No one would ever be able to figure out the genre, and it would be guaranteed to drive even the most relentlessly optimistic, happy person on earth into soul-shattering depression.
Thank you soooo much for this video. Waht Yoko Taro said in the end of this video is actually what makes me love Nier Automata. I am not much with games but I was in my childhood (2001-2005). One day by chance I Played NieR Automata. It feels good to play NieR. It's my memories now. Even still while writing this I feel joy of knowing NieR Automata. I hope one day when I become adult. I purchase my NieR by my own money. Thank you Yoko Taro sir ! Also thank you for this video ! Love from India !
I find it funny that Sqaure won't let Yoko Taro make a shmup, even though this is the same company that loves to sneak in references to Einhander, which is a shmup they made in the PS1 days. It's a REALLY good one too!
The writer and artist are always just as good as an impactful work, or better, I'm saying this because of health, writers are important, just like artist, but if I hade to save something, it's always the creator of the work, it's always prioritizing there health as a fan.

"We got a lot of questions, would you be willing to answer some?"
*"No."*
I love how Yoko Taro's translators are often just stunned at what they have to translate
Jesus luvs us
YOKO TARO: (makes game)
Internet: (makes porn of it)
YOKO TARO: Don't do that! Collate them together first at least!
"Then send them to me in a zip file"
The only thing you can rely on the internet to do, is make porn of anything.

"So why is 2B hot?"
Yoko Taro: Why not?

Now this is a man.
@@zynet_eseled not just any man. A man of culture.
I can think of another answer. their advanced technology allows them to balance fine with it, so they wear heels to stab their enemies with kicks!
You can tell he has fun doing what he does

You're my hero
You're logo could be smaller tho, it's blocking Yoko Taro's beautiful face
Hahaha well said! Thank you so much.
I'm just now thinking, with Yoko Taro usually not showing his face and preferring to wear his Emil head, he could just become a Vtuber and avoid going out in public at all.
with the way the industry is going forward... i could see him actually doing that
As much as we talk about Yoko san, Saito San is equally important for being the serious guy in the comedy dynamic they share.
I extremely look up to this man as a person and creator. I love his way of storytelling and how he does things for his games. I only hope that I could reach to his degree of amazement one day. I'm glad I got to play to play his games, and witness his storytelling.
He's a goddamn national treasure.
The message from Yoko Taro at the end was really heartwarming. And the game really does have a special place in all our hearts
“Do you have snacks in your Emil helmet?”
“Actually yes”
Yokotaro is a fucking legend!!! That graph that he was showing about Dragon Quest, Yakuza and Persona had my dying xD
Imagining 2B and 9S in high school xD
Imagine Yoko Taro's despair when Yakuza became Dragon Quest, swallowing his entire graph in one fell swoop.
@@NotAGoodUsername360the rumbling
This is my spirit animal
You mean Miky from Drakengard 3? {27:30}
:3
We should all aspire to be more like the man.
Protect this treasure
Panel Guy: Would you be able to answer some questions?
Yoko Taro: No.
Me: This man is a beautiful human being.
He's such a treasure lmao. He's literally a kid in a mans body I love him.
That last bit is so great. What separates NieR from everything else is it's heart. It truly does grip you in a way that no other game can.
“I just really like girls”
Me too

Man of culture made in heaven
This was beautiful. This man is a creative genius. Love his personality
He deserves....protection...
For such a meme video that ending was actually very beautiful and meaningful. Loved Yoko so much
Yoko taro is love, yoko taro is chaos.
A love that crushes like a mace
Thank you for this! This is gold!
Thank you! :) I tried to add everything I could. I hope we have a lot more of Yoko Taro on 2019
Watanuki's Gaming Spot same! I can't wait for whatever the madman makes next!

2:00 was expecting a second mask, very disappointed.
😱
That's Hideki Kamiya from Platinum. LOL
It's not him so it's still a troll move.
Yoko had him take his place.
I love how he casually just said fuck square enix while losing his shit about the nier automata t shirt
This is the best video to ever exist. Bless you for putting in the work.
9:43 The question from him was so good ;)
4:15 LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FROM DEADLY PREMONITION PLAYING, NOW YOKO TARO AND SWERY NEED TO MAKE A GAME TOGETHER
29:00 I love that he goes on this tangent about killing.
lmao that moment when he asks lana how much squeenix paid ign for the review score 🤣
Yoko Taro with Deadly Premonition music makes me want to see the results of him and SWERY collaborating so badly.
Make it happen, Square!
This man, i can only admire how awesome he is
Man : so kaine had some of background story for why she is wearing such revealing outfit, is there same explanation for why 2b is like that?
Yoko: uhhh... I like women
The only time I ever paid for a full game soon after its release. It wasn't cheap but damn it was worth every cent.
Just let this man make his 2D shooter
33:15 the way he just points over silently has me rolling
2:13 Is that really what he looks like without the mask?! Also awesome Persona reference there, haha. Gotta love Yoko Taro, he's dorky in an adorable way. Plus I can relate to him as someone who also has social anxiety lol.
No, that's Kamiya. Bayonetta's creator among other properties.
That's Hideki Kamiya, the creator of DMC and Bayonetta. Co-founder of Platinum, I guess?
That's Hideki (Blocked in Twitter) Kamiya

Dude, this guy is my new Idol
This man...
This man is a national treasure
I legit want Suda 51 and Yoko Taro to meet one day. Would be an interesting event.
And kodaka and swery Xd
we need to protect this dude at all costs.. (so we can continue to get great stuff from him obv) but also cause hes just fkn HILARIOUS 🤣
1:59 bruh went from Emil... to the Twitch 7TV WICKED emote in .5 seconds with the addition for thos shades 🤣
6:11 ... Valid 🤷🏾♂🤣
Thank you for all the work you put into this.
Man imagine if Josef Fares and Yoko Taro teamed up to make a game.
No one would ever be able to figure out the genre, and it would be guaranteed to drive even the most relentlessly optimistic, happy person on earth into soul-shattering depression.
You better add kodaka, suda51,swery,
Yo. Him and Hideo Kojima should make a game together.
Fuck Kojima. That hipster snob is overrated.
They wouldn´t match well, Kojimas ego is too freaking massive and they got polar opposites how they handle a story.
Eww, no. Evem though i like mgs, i dont like kojima anymore, speciallh after the way he treats celebrities like gods.
No, him and Hidetaka Miyazaki, *DOUBLE DEPRESSION AND BALLS HARD DIFFICULTY*
Caleborn yeah, I like games like metal gear but Yoko Taro is really damn humble compared to Kojima.

Who is the bigger Toll? Yoko Taro or Hideo Kojima?
Definitely Yoko Taro. Kojima tries too hard
Taro is chaotic neutral, Kojima is lawful neutral.
@25:38 Misa is famous!!
Woah! just watched Misa in your latest video and now here! What a coincidence.
Por qué eres tan adorable Yoko-san?
Ni recordaba que había comentado aquí, pero aún sigo creyendo los he escribí, no puedo creer que es legal ser tan adorable
tener la personalidad de este sujeto es inigualable
I feel bad for the dude who used cheat engine on the credits of Automata, he probably didn't understand the whole game
i like how his head is fixed
also this fucking madlad has snacks ready in his head
"I don't really know engrish that much"
She literally said, Engrish.....
This dude is god-like
I didn't know Alanah moderated this!!
He should have had another mask under that mask reveal
It's funnier the way it is, not him
God, does anyone know the song from 8:41 to 9:25? It sounds so familiar but I can't put my finger on where it's from
Found it, if anyone else is absolutely stuck, it's a Persona 4 song called "It's SHOW TIME!"
Such an awesome dude
Great man💛
22:52 basically me finishing this game
Damn my man got salty in the last 10 minutes lol
He has Hedeki Naganuma Twitter energy
Protect this man at all cost
I actually think Yoko Taro is fluent in English. And it would be 100% on brand.
i hope he'll do another game, hopefully a 'hack'n slash' game.
damn i dream for a drakengard remaster
Not remake tho
Well also
Any of the two would be good
