It's kind of awe inspiring, is this literally just Yoko Taro making these calls? At some level you have to respect the hustle.

Automata's sold over 8 million copies now. That's more than Metal Gear Solid 4, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake (through 2023, at least), any Fire Emblem game, any Kirby game, any Megaman game (by a lot), any Persona game, all the Final Fantasy Tactics games combined, any Pikmin game, or any Metroid game.

It's huge for an RPG, getting numbers that even Final Fantasy has to respect, and a lot of it comes down to 2B, with her design drawing people in, and her combat style and role in the story keeping them long enough to get hooked. Makes sense she'd get a lot of cameos.

Still blows my mind that a sequel to a niche game like Nier blew up this hard. As someone who was obsessed with the original for years, never saw that coming lol

Unless you want to count the mobile game (which you probably shouldn’t). But yeah, it is odd they haven’t announced a Nier 3 or even a Drakengard 4 by now despite Automata doing fairly well as I recall.

Has Yoko Taro even done anything notable since then for that matter (assuming he stlll works for Square)?

He did the Voice of Cards trilogy, which turned out to be a weirdly bland (for him) turn based JRPG with no frills or twists.

3 incorporated some more Nier-esque combat into it right? But yeah, a remake with better controls/combat could be nice

At least the original Drakengard had some weird rear end concepts going for it (like giant cannibal space babies), not sure if you could salvage anything from 2

Technically that was just an English version of Brother Nier with some extra content (albeit a decent amount of it) but yeah, that too

Completely redid the combat, added a ton of new content including full voice acting, and finally implemented the original planned final ending. It was a pretty substantial project.

we've been over this: reincarnation is officially nier 3, it came out like 3 years ago and it will be gone forever in 2 months.

there's been rumors from the nier concert series that the word "R3PENT" flashing across the screen is a hint about an upcoming nier 3, which is nonsensical because yoko taro has been very clear over and over that reincarnation is nier 3.

that's fair, but in a discussion about "what's yoko taro even been up to", it seems weird to just ignore this game? I mean, there's tons of story in there. yoko taro doesn't do more work when the gameplay is like automata vs when it's like reincarnation, does he?

Pretty sure he mentioned in an interview (jokingly or not who knows) that PlatinumGames was so good at their job he had nothing to do.

I'm paraphrasing and It's Yoko Taro but I'm sure there's a hint of truth there.
