The video starts with the three reminiscing about the 11th anniversary of the Nier franchise before Saito asks Taro if he has anything he’d like to announce about the series. To which Taro replies
“Nothing! That’s right. We announced it here today, folks. The NieR series is now finished! …But, you never know. I might do more if I get a big ole’ pile of money…”
They then ask Yoko Taro what he would like Santa to bring him for Christmas.
“Christmas eh? Hmm…I think I would like to be made into a kind person… I do, I mean… recently I am always irritated and snapping at people, so I really want to become kind and mellow. I want to ask Santa to bring me that!”
Yoko Taro has released two games in 2021, Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, and an enhanced remaster of the original Nier which is available for PS4, Xbox One and PC, and Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC.
