So do we know if this is getting a dub or a sub?

If it's a dub, do we have a known list of the VAs for it?
All I could think of when listening to Zero's dialog was "how would this impact me if I was listening to Laura Bailey's saint row voice?"

If it's getting release in America, it's getting a dub. I think SE very rarely releases anything in the west that isn't dubbed and even small stuff will get it too, it's just a matter of what anime VAs haven't gone to mainstream animation for them to get their hands on.

THen again they got DC Douglas for Nier, so who knows what the gently caress is happening right now.

Final ending/boss (maybe) spoilers below.

That streamer made it to what looks like the end of the ring timing boss thing but died at the very end. Click here and go to about 1 hour 55 minutes to behold some of the greatest heights of Cavia style trolling.

He's been at this for over five hours now, including yesterday's stream. He's also streaming right now.

This games combat is so much fun. At the start it felt sluggish and the frame rate isn't the best but once you start dodge canceling with the spear you're wreaking everything and it's so much fun.

I haven't gotten too far in so I'm not reading any spoilers yet but I love this game already.

Also for anyone afraid zero won't be likable, she is put in a lot of goofy situations when not talking about murdering everyone so I like her very much and her conversations with Mikhail are great.
Edit: I guess that doesn't really explain why but I suck at explaining. The game is kind of like playing a likable villain out to conquer the world with her conscience/sidekick (Mikhail).

Yeah this is what I was thinking. She's pretty likable so far, dunno what people have seen in the spoiler streams though. There's actually been a surprising amount of, like, comedy? Kind of weird.

Keep in mind Access Games, aka the guys who gave us Francis York Morgan, helped develop this. I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with it.

They chatter almost non-stop. It's really the only reason to have them along because they're basically useless in combat. Occasionally I see them attack but they never do any real damage. Lots of talk with Mikhail too. His dynamic with Zero is pretty entertaining and does a lot to make her more likable.

I'm wanting to replay nier after loosing my saves when my old PS3 died and I was wondering: For the trophies to kill bosses in x amount of time, is that for the first time you meet them, or is there boss refights later that you can get the achievements for? If I sit down with the intention of getting platinum, is it better for me to do the 15 hour speedrun first, or do a "regular" playthrough and start a separate speedrun save after I get ending A?

You can get the ones for beating bosses within a time limit on new game+, in fact they'd be pretty hard to get first time through. No idea on speed runs, I hate that stuff, but doing a proper run first seems sensible.

Good lord, that is one of the biggest dick moves I've ever seen. To clear this you basically need a lot of patience and good ear for music. Things that have nothing to do with the gameplay prior to this point.

From what I saw there's literally no point in watching the screen. The time between when they produce the notes, and when you need to hit the button, is a set number of beats. The song changes speed forcing you to adjust your timing accordingly.

The problem is the song starts slowing way the gently caress down at the end so it's super tricky to try and figure out what the timing needs to be. I'm still not sure just how slow it gets after the screen goes black. I could get all of it without watching the video just fine, but that last note tripped me way up, because it's still slowing down after the note comes out.


e: You know, it's not actually that bad if you know about it beforehand. If you're going into to it blind though, it's gotta be horrific.

Well, the guy streaming the entire game has been at it for about 13 hours or so, I think? The whole sequence is about 7 1/2 minutes long but obviously there's a lot more deaths that are going to be caused earlier on.
