Takahisa Taura leaving PlatinumGames is truly the death knell for that studio. Hashimoto was Kamiya’s heir apparent, but he got sick of the shitty management and went to Capcom and a lot of attention was focused on Taura as the next in line after Nier Automata’s success. Obviously that’s changed.

Ok so it's public Taura left? Yeah he *left*.
Update to the PlatinumGames situation:
Hot off heels of Kamiya’s Studio Clovers, several lead developers from PG have removed reference to the studio
Saito (MGR), Taura (Nier, astral chain), Tinari (Bayo Origins), and Yamanaka (anarchy reigns) are rumored to have left the studio

I have had a lot of conversations with Taura over the years regarding Nier. Here’s a picture of us together! Much like Kamiya, he really just wanted to make fun games and did not have a lot of patience for bad management.
