For a lot of people, the global release of SINoALICE has seemed like it was not meant to be with indefinite delays and eventually changing publishers for the West. SINoALICE is finally here on iOS and Android worldwide. Pokelabo has published the Square Enix free to play RPG in the West and the staff behind the project features some very interesting names. I got a chance to chat with Yoko Taro (Bukkoro), Yoshinari Fujimoto (Square Enix), and Shogo Maeda (Pokelabo) about SINoALICE, mobile gaming, a potential PC version in the West, and more.

Yoko Taro
TA: Fans of Yoko Taro’s works, especially NieR, are used to lore and canon being spread across tons of media. Will SINoALICE and NieR: Reincarnation ever collaborate"

YT: That’s up to the higher-ups, so I don’t know. Once “they" decide something would make money, they have a strong will to make any collaboration happen. The thing is, the producers of SINoALICE and Reincarnation are different people, so the fate would be decided once they start a fight to the death, and one of them wins (this sort of thing happens quite often at Square Enix).
YF: Nothing is decided for now. Personally I would love to.
TA: How has it been for you working from home during the global pandemic"

YT: I had thought that if a common enemy to mankind appears, all the countries and people of the world would come together and fight as one, but it seems the world is even more divided than before and is full of hat...
