  • Join renowned director Yoko Taro as he plays through the demo of Metaphor: ReFantazio, ahead of its October 11 release!
    Tomomi Isomura, the voice of Lina, sits down with him for an interview, eager to hear his thoughts of the game and his insights as a game designer!
    Back in 2016, Yoko Taro declared that the release of Metaphor would spell the death of his own series, NieR.
    Now after 7 years and a new lease on life, Yoko Taro excitedly shares his thoughts in this candid interview.

      ​@@RootVegetabIemusic (for me at least) and fan service.
      Story had some good theological ideas (like is it worth continuing an endless war for your masters when said masters are long dead) but very poor execution. In the end, more or less everyone just dies, sometimes just because story needs to be sad.
      Meanwhile, combat while very responsive, lacks depth. People call out Arkham games out for being button mashing. But this is the literal definition of mash button and dodge to win. This goes so bad that the only hard levels are where enemies have tons of health and can kill you with a single hit.

      Nor necessarily a bad thing. You know the studio is working on something, then that's all you hear until they actually have something to present. No announcing a game when development has barely started and only getting the marketing active after you've decided on and start approaching a release date.
