I hope there are still stories in the weapon description and one of them vaguely describes a sickly young girl who succumbed to her rapidly failing health amidst a town that slowly went insane from some unknown affliction.

The Lighthouse Keeper in the Seaside town has spent 50 years thinking her husband is alive but traveling but he's been dead all that time, everyone in town is in on it and they let her believe this because she's the only one who knows how to operate the Lighthouse.

I can't wait for Nier Automata to make even more assholish people and quests.

The soundtrack to the original Nier is one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time and this has the same composer and vocalist on board. I'm as hyped for the soundtrack as I am for the gameplay.

the way the layers of the music in the final boss fight fade in and out during each phase shift ending with just the little music box notes playing at the end was very powerful

Hello, reason #2 to get a PS4.

And this means I must sadly playthrough the entire Drakengard saga. :suicide:

Fortunately, this game will be for the PS4.

Now the Japs are copying Last of Us and you gently caress tards are going to eat it up. Sigh. Whats next?
...you do know that the original NieR was made in 2010, right?
And that the series it spun off from started in 2003.

the music in the Automata trailer is up there with the best tracks from the original Nier OST so basically what I am saying is Keiichi Okabe is still on top of his game and Automata is gonna oooooown

Q: Why did you guys make her a female?

Yoko: “Because I like girls.”

Saito: “We requested Akihiko Yoshida to make ‘an outfit that’d be good for cosplay’.”

NieR has like nothing to do with Drakengard and stands completely on its own so just play that instead

I'm going to buy and play Nier, and then this game when it comes out. From screenshots of this and the 1st Nier it really seems like the dudes who make these games can design a world!

between toro directing, the composer returning, this is going to be the best thing platinum has made, mark my words. i still need to play drakengard 3.

Only the sidequests are, and youre not required to do them, and shouldn't, they're pointless. You do have to replay the last 1/3 or so of the game to get all the endings though, which is absolutely worth doing. After you have all your endgame gear you can blow through that last third pretty quick.

i got drakengard 3 and frankly its kinda bad lol. just a lot of running in a straight line and mashing square against a bunch of enemies. the girl you play as is a cool psycho though
