Yoko Taro on Why NieR: Automata Protagonist 2B Wears High Heels: "I Just Really Like Girls"

During a panel at PAX East, NieR: Automata Creative Director Yoko Taro was asked a few questions about the game, and he responded with his usual adorable and modest mannerism.

simple and straightforward answer (that most probably embodies the majority of male opinions) .......no BS like west hypocrites

Abriael2692d ago

Not sure about "male" opinion, but I know for a fact that many developers right now are secretly clapping.

I can respect this response. People ask me why all the cake pictures on my facebooks, I'm like I just like cake, it's fucking delicious. I can't help it if you don't like cake...suger free bastards! Stay of my facebook lawn!

What's funny is that a lot of girls also like wearing high heels for whatever reason.

Wearing high heels doesn't oppress women, nor make them objects. neither does wearing any other kind of clothing really.

Once more developers get this through their head, they can create what they want and maybe the SJW crowd will just go ignored the way they should be until they can form cohesive, meaningful arguments like they used to before Sarkeesian and Alexander entered the fray, and maybe they can be forced to actually broach the issue of representation in a positive fashion, instead of looking at everything as an attack on their own personal worth since they seem to think that the only thing that is of value is their own gender.

SaiyanFury2692d ago

Absolutely! I love the fact that 2B wears high heels. I love girls too and wish more girls in games wore them! :D

cleft52692d ago

I love Yoko Taro. The guy is just straight up honest.

Enigma_20992692d ago

Oh man, how much better would the conversation over Quiet have gone if Kojima had done this.

And he shouldn't have to apologize for it

DashArrivals2692d ago

That is so refreshing to hear a public comment of how he really feels. Political Correctness has gone WAY TOO FAR in society. Bless this man for.... just being a normal man I guess lol.

They patched some crashing bugs. There no click needed

Ratchetlombax15h ago

Which is great news nonetheless, the previous patch came out 7 years ago and no one expected the devs to fix the game anymore! I've actually played the game only recently on my PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility, and I was hit with constant crashes in a specific area, and I've seen a lot of players complaining about it too, so I think that's awesome for future players

phoenixwing14h ago

I didn't say or imply it's bad news. I'm just annoyed someone made an article with a cryptic title so I revealed the pertinent info

Dirty_Lemons7h ago

Oh that's interesting! I played it last April for the first time on PS5 and suffered no crashes, but I played it on Switch and...yeah

YourMommySpoils1d 4h ago

That's it, Stellar Blade colab confirmed.

jznrpg1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

It should have a PS5 version already. I hope they release it, physically though

YourMommySpoils16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Maybe, but it does coincide with the Stellar Blade collab Roadmap.

garos8218h ago

thats interesting so many years later. never encountered any crashes in my multiple playthroughs but great nonetheless for those affected.

Ratchetlombax15h ago

Yeah it was mostly an issue for PS5 players and it popped up pretty recently because of a PS5 software update

Notsofast7h ago

That's excellent news that crashing happened to me at least 50 times while playing the game a few months ago before playing Stellar Blade almost a game ending bug for some people because you have to pass that area to beat the game and it just kept happening

For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.

Inverno2d ago

They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago

Good luck in your future endeavors

Hotpot2d ago

Thank you for Mario + Rabbids series, I quite enjoyed it

Einhander19722d ago

Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.

Michiel19891d 15h ago

not cinematic or 3rd person enough for Sony

DefaultComment2d ago

I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
