No one has yet adequately explained to me how Yoko Taro keeps being allowed to make games, but I am sure glad he is.

The president of Square Enix is a real big fan of Taro, and Platinum games got to choose which IP they get to work on when they were hired for Next Square Enix game.

Yoko Taro is still slated for a mobile game, it's his choice for doing it.

Wait, what? Why would people get mad about that of all things?

Literally any change from the originial is considered censorship and those people are rabid.

So despite knowing a dozen people that constantly talk about the nanomachines, memes, and vagina bombs, theyve somehow never mentioned the the giant hulking gundams. I need new friends, I'm almost tempted to try the games now.

They're usually treated as the final bosses, you don't fight them regularly except in Metal Gear Revengence.

Coincidentally, the same team and producer did Automata

Steam lets you refund a game no questions asked if it's under 2 hours of playing time.

I genuinely hope they team up more. Even if they don't do more drakengard or nier games.

Yoko and Okabe are also together on that new mobile game. They're pretty much joined at the hip at this point.

It's called localization, not direct translation and 8-4 runs by their changes with the japanese people. They're not willy-nilly doing things behind their backs.

Also there's been multiple big spoilers by official SE PR themselves (By the way, don't read anything especially about Nier: A's sales).

The dude might have made the right call. Who knows it would have sold well enough to justify making the second half, and the end of disc 1 is a motherfucker of a cliffhanger to end on. That works for TV shows sometimes, but I can't remember too many video games where it worked out well.

He gives a list of reasons for why he picked the games. He picked ff15 because he was haunted by it potentially releasing near his own three games.

Maybe if they stop making nintendo exclusive games they would be doing better. I still want to try me some wonderful 101.

That's not how that works. They're given a contract to make a game on nintendo's console, or they do no work.

Bayonetta 2 literally doesn't exist without Nintendo's funding.

Why are pachinko parlors so bad that casinos are better, seems like any problem you have with the parlors will be worse with this.

Casino's are government regulated, I don't think pachinko's are.

Also as far as I understand, pachinko's are a small part of Konami's profit portfolio. They make way more off their health department.
