Following the recent release of the critically acclaimed Nier: Automata, toco toco joined its director and scenario writer Yoko Taro, introducing us to his bizarre direction style and some of his favourite Osaka locales for both work and play.

Taro discusses everything from his views on today’s AAA games to his love of Galactic Pinball on the Virtual Boy, whilst his co-workers have an opportunity to share their viewpoints on his unorthodox approach to game design. After working on what is undoubtedly his most ambitious game to date, Taro’s thoughts on his place amongst young creators come in the form of a humorous yet thought-provoking proclamation on the role of veteran figures in the games industry.
