“The voices used in that track are the actual voices of people involved in the development of Nier: Automata,” Okabe said.
In a brief interview video published on the game’s official Twitter account today, Nier: Automata composer Keiichi Okabe shares a quick bit of interesting trivia: one of Automata’s tracks includes a choir featuring a number of the game’s developers, including game director Yoko Taro and Okabe himself.
It’s a “fun fact” about the game’s development, to be sure, and also an example to devs of how you might inject even more of yourself into your work.
“Like a demon king in an RPG, I feel like I’m clinging to my castle of authority,” Yoko said.
