Accord’s Library is a site that aims to archive and gather all of Yoko Taro’s work.

Full text from their Discord announcement below:

Dearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

Please crosspost this to the various data hoarder and archival communities here! It would suck for this content to be lost, and I can't imagine it would be ridiculously hard to pull it all down and toss it in a zip on archive.org

I’m not familiar with any, do you have any recommendations on where to start and I can seek more out.

Sorry, I could have sworn there were more, but checking fedisearch and searching all communities visible to my instance only shows [email protected]

Hope you don't mind, but I've made a post there requesting assistance.

Please don't use code blocks for quotes. It makes the text unreadable without tons and tons of horizontal scrolling in many apps. Code is not meant to wrap automatically which is what code blocks are for. Code blocks are not meant for long paragraphs.

Markdown has specific markup for quotes:

Yeah that happened due to copy-paste from Discord message in the announcement. Changed it anyway so should be more readable for all.
