NieR creator Yoko Taro says he would like to retire from making video games, but fear of dementia keeps him working. The director of NieR: Automata and Drakengard recently admitted he feels he has already achieved his main goal in game development. His first game as director, Drakengard (2003), let him create almost everything as he wanted. “I’m done with working. I don’t want to do it anymore,” Taro said of his future plans.

When work frustrates him, he tells himself continuing could help keep his mind active.

The version without the blindfold is the one that actually looks bad.
