If it does have full English audio and text then it makes it really weird why they delayed the NA release at all.

Read somewhere earlier saying that Saito had said it supports all the languages it's translated into on today's Dengeki stream, nothing to source it though so pinch of salt.

Just worth waiting for it to unlock because the info will be shared liberally then. I'll definitely post it if I hear and it's not been posted in here already by the time I do.

There's probably some arbitrary reason why they chose to do it known only to Square suits.
At least Americafriends get it on the 7th of March instead of the 10th like us EUfools.

In the event that the jp version ends up having full EN/JP for both text and sound how dificult is it to prep for this and buy it with a jp account?

I played the Automata demo a while ago, randomly started thinking of its music again and I've had this one song playing on loop pretty much all weekend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52SDmUpfxCI

I'm basically addicted to this track at the moment. I did get NieR on Ps3 last summer but haven't played it, so I guess my question is is its music even half as good as this one track?

NieR probably has the best soundtrack of the PS3 generation and is a contender for best game OST ever. So yes, absolutely.

As long as you make a JP PSN account, which shouldn't be too hard with minimal google efforts, you can get PSN Yen codes emailed to you from PlayAsia and some other places I can't quite remember. The game is around 8500 yen on the store currently, but the best value is probably a 10000 yen card. 10k yen at the moment is about £80 so probably $100?

It's good enough they got slightly annoyed at release that the soundtrack was getting more praise than the gameplay

I might be grasping at straws here but based on the wording from this article it seems like PC release should be soon-ish after console release?
I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two...in a sound and internet-proof bunker to avoid spoilers.

How long is NeiR? Like a 40hr jrpg epic or something smaller?

Bad Seafood
Dec 10, 2010


If you must blink, do it now.
Playing casually, 10-15 hours to get the first ending, with another 3-5 to get the second. The third and fourth endings require you to collect every weapon in the game, so how long they take depends on how many weapons you forgot to pick up earlier. Most of them are easy, but a couple are tucked away.

If you're going for the platinum though, double the length of time for everything.

Know-nothing NieR guy here again but I really dig the design of the main character in Automata.

The "regal-ity" is dope as gently caress and gives me some serious Alucard Symphony of the Night vibes . Kicking loads of rear end while keeping it classy af is something I'm pretty down with.

March is gonna be mostly crunchtime for me. I was actually relieved when Persona 5 got pushed back since I wouldn't have the time to play it anyway.

Welp, just a reminder DLC are region-locked so might as well wait for the US release unless you have money to burn.

I don't care too much for spoilers but I'm trying to avoid explicit ones for this until I inevitably cave but I checked these and want to back this up

The trophies definitely give away a lot of things.

If only places didn't want around £90 for 8500 yen :negative:

Try posting the question on twitter or amazon page? I don't believe it's been stated. It's a game shirt though so I would be surprised if they don't go with L because... you know.





e:
Also, something from the trophy list that trophy hunters might want to know but contains no story information and is safe to look at, but I'll tag anyway.

There are no difficulty locked trophies

There's some spoiler free pics of someone's disk copy here and they have a little info. Note that people can put text in their notes so it can't always be guaranteed to be spoiler free to click this page.

They posted this information with it.

quote:

First Look and Notes at Early Copy of NieR Automata (SPOILER FREE)

- The packaging is pretty good. Manuals and other information stuffs is really neat with Nier-ish aesthetic.

- When you get the physical copy early, you can play the game immediately. You can also do screen capture, but you cannot share it.

- The game’s file size is 47.7 Gb

- There’s an additional 6 Gb (Edit: The file size is still not fixed yet) download for Patch 1.01 update coming on 2/23 (Day 1 Patch)

- If you play with the fresh installation data of the game WITHOUT patching it to 1.01, the save options is very limited (most of the time the game is not saved). You can play the game, following the story missions for several hours and at “some certain point” you will ABSOLUTELY die. Note that this thing won’t happen if you play the patched game on the official release date.

- Besides fixing the saving problem, Patch 1.01 will also fix some bugs, fix the game balance adjustment, and adds some additional content

- The tutorial in this game just doesn’t help so much. Be sure to read the manuals paper or in-game manuals

- Fast travel is exist

Basically, the day one patch is vital.
