Nope you can&#8217;t see him from outside the box. It\u2019s his own way of keeping his identity secret (though his real life photo can be found on the internet).<\/p>\n<p>The interview session was entertaining with legion of fans participating actively throughout the entire session. Many shouted vehemently at the end of the show \u201c\u4eba\u985e\u306b\u6804\u5149\u3042\u308c\u201d in Japanese which mans \u201cGlory to Mankind\u201d.

Some of them are your standard fan questions, some elicit really funny answer from Yoko.<\/p>\n<p>*Q&amp;A below is not the actual transcript but a translated version from Japanese.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Fan: Are there certain movies or books that inspire you for the game.<\/strong><br \/>\nYoko: I get my inspiration from some of them. Evangelion is one from anime and the American Drama 24 is another one. I will try to avoid taking ideas from major titles as other would easily spot it. So usually, I will steal from the more minor title.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s Yoko Taro for you. Straight, honest answer with a tinge of humour.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another one:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Fan: Why did you include an ending where you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/theres-a-difficult-decision-at-the-end-of-nier-automat-1793071026\">delete the gamer&#8217;s save file<\/a>?<\/strong><br \/>\nYoko: When I was young, my save file for Dragon Quest 3 was deleted. I was devastated and disappointed. But my parents do not understand what I was going through. Hence I make my players go through the same experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So that&#8217;s it?! While this sounds brutal, it is also really amusing to me. For the longest time, I always thought that there is a stronger meaning behind asking the user to delete the save file at the ending. So the truth is simply this. Advice to you when you play Yoko Taro&#8217;s game, don&#8217;t read too much into why things are how they are in the games.<\/p>\n<p>The final section is a compilation of the fan&#8217;s answers to a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd6Y8Dopnfoe4XzicIgdR5vh-QwN1QgrozWnn7N7eqnJtQ9ZQ\/viewform\">Nier Automata related questions<\/a>.
