Through a series of tweets; Taro Yoko has congratulated Platinum Games for its work on the upcoming Playstation 4 exclusive, Nier.
According to Yoko, the team behind Bayonetta is doing such a fine job on Nier that he feels he is not required to be around:
プラチナさんは仕事クオリティが高すぎて僕は要らない感がスゴイです。 RT @PG_kamiya: ヨコオさんの期待に添えるようベストを尽くすでしょう…RT @you_0099 ニーア新作に於いてのPGのポジションは「下請け」ですから上の注文に応えるのが第一でしょうね。ニ(以下略)

Platinum is doing such a great job, that I feel like I’m not necessary.
業界で「下請け」って単語はもうあまり使われてないけど、実際問題「言われた事だけやればいいんでしょ」的なメンタルの会社はすごく多い。しかし、プラチナさんはお世辞抜きでもの凄い会社。天一で並を頼んだら、サービスで唐揚げとライスを付けて、さらにもう一杯コッテリを出してくるレベル。

Although in this industry we not longer use the term “subcontractor” very often, it’s true that there are a lot of companies working with this philosophy of “we just need to do what we’ve been told”. But Platinum is honestly a great company. It’s like when you order a regular set at Ten-ichi [a restaurant] and they give you free fried chicken and rice, as well as an extra cup of Kotteri [Ramen soup].
とはいえ、何せ、ヨコオがシナリオ担当なので、そこは、絶対に、期待しないでいただきたい。

That said, I’m the one in charge of the scenario, after all, so please never expect too highly of me.
Currently, the details regarding the game are scarce, but we are hopeful to see and learn more at the upcoming Paris Gaming Week during Sony’s press conference which is scheduled to happen on Oct. 27, 2015.
Are you looking forward to Nier on Playstation 4?
