   Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's achieved his career dreams, but keeps working because it's 'good for preventing dementia'

   Yoko Taro, creator of Nier and Drakengard, said at the Tokyo French Institute last month that he had already realized his vision as a director and has considered retiring. He said he continues working in game development partly for the money and because he fears mental decline from idleness, calling it "good for preventing dementia." He also said he hopes to dodge the "flames" of competition from younger, AI-assisted generations before he dies.

   NieR Creator Yoko Taro Says He Would Retire From Making Video Games but Fear of Dementia Keeps Him Working

   NieR franchise creator Yoko Taro said he is "done with working" and has considered retiring, as his savings and pension would be enough, but a fear of developing dementia in old age keeps him working. He said he already achieved his life goal with his first directorial project, the 2003 PS2 title Drakengard, and views everything after that as "the remainder of my life." Taro also said competition in the Japanese games industry will spread from younger to older developers, and he is currently writing an as-yet untitled Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series.
