From VG247: “Let me tell you something here. Listen close. Yoko Taro is as much a visionary video game director as, say, Hideo Kojima. Im not exaggerating here. If you you look at the ideas expressed in the Drakengard and then Nier games Yoko has written and directed, theres ideas and experimentations as bold and fascinating as anything Kojima has attempted with protagonist switcharoos, reading memory card data, or inventing the strand genre. You wouldnt know it, though Yoko generally made such niche, low-budget games that his genius went unnoticed.”
