Our first stop will be at PlatinumGames, the studio that was in charge of developing Yoko\u2019s most recent title: NieR: Automata. During development, Yoko Taro lived between Tokyo and Osaka, often meeting in Tokyo with Square Enix\u2019s producer Yosuke Saito, who first suggested the game to be developed by PlatinumGames.<\/p>\n<p>Yoko will introduce us to his rather peculiar work style, before taking us to Shinsaibashi at THE SILVER BALL PLANET, an arcade specialized in vintage pinball machines. He will share with us his fascination for pinball and the little universes contained within each machine. We will then continue our conversation at his apartment where he will tell us more about his philosophy and his work. <\/p>\n<p>After dusk, we will head with Yoko to Osaka\u2019s dynamic Dotombori area for drinks with the producer Yosuke Saito and Takahisa Taura, who worked as a game designer and had a key role on NieR: Automata according to Yoko; the three of them will recall fun stories from the development of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7\u25c7<\/p>\n<p>TOCO TOCO&#8217;s previous episode: Manao Kagawa, Pro Shogi Player<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Manao Kagawa, Pro Shogi Player - toco toco\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mohXgVorOBk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>TOCO TOCO&#8217;s next episode: Edit Mode, Apparel Brand<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EDITMODE, Apparel Brand (King of Games) - toco toco\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Mbl93upM5o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>THE SILVER BALL PLANET Official Website (JAPANESE)<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/silverballplanet.jp<\/p>\n<p>NieR: Automata Official Website (ENGLISH)<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/nier-automata.com\/<\/p>\n<p>#nier #nierautomata<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>toco toco &#8211; Yoko Taro, Game Creator GUEST Yoko Taro, Game Creator PLACES WE WENT TO PlatinumGames Office<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3027,3743,41124,7058,17901,41116,19043,18529,41117,41118,29017,2032,36946,3742,11937,41119,41120,31316,1079,352,19907,7059,70,15,40,3896,833,18888,41114,41115,10999,6149,41121,1081,28654,41123,41122],"class_list":{"0":"post-43699","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rpg","8":"tag-2b","9":"tag-9s","10":"tag-archipel","11":"tag-automata","12":"tag-documentary","13":"tag-drag-on-dragoon","14":"tag-drakengard","15":"tag-exclusive","16":"tag-game-development","17":"tag-hideki-kamiya","18":"tag-interview","19":"tag-japan","20":"tag-japanese-games","21":"tag-nier","22":"tag-nier-automata","23":"tag-nier-gestalt","24":"tag-nier-ost","25":"tag-nier-replicant","26":"tag-nierautomata","27":"tag-pc","28":"tag-platinum-games","29":"tag-platinumgames","30":"tag-playstation-4","31":"tag-rpg","32":"tag-square-enix","33":"tag-squareenix","34":"tag-video-game","35":"tag-yoko-taro","36":"tag-yokotaro","37":"tag-yosuke-saito","38":"tag-10999","39":"tag-6149","40":"tag-41121","41":"tag-1081","42":"tag-28654","43":"tag-41123","44":"tag-41122"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/games\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
