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.


Basically, the day one patch is vital.

That is the Yoko Taro-est thing.

That page updated to say they don't know the patch size but I haven't edited my quote yet.

As much as I'd like to attribute it to Taro, I'm pretty sure it's just a nasty bug.

e: Edited it now.

Steam release 10th of March! (Same day EU, couple of days after PS4 USA)

Take warning though, the version of this trailer on Square's official account does not mention this date and neither does a piece of PR released by them today...

Quite possibly one of the weirdest marketing campaigns for a game that's coming out on two platforms. At this point I expect post-PC launch material to still exclude the fact its on Steam.

The trailer with the Steam date is the one you can get from Square's press site if you have credentials even though they didn't upload that one to YouTube themselves.


They've hosed everything up about this but we're reaching the light at the end of the tunnel on this PC launch debacle it seems.

Hey, that trailer's music hits the same musical beats/melody as Song of the Ancients! That's a nice thing to hear. I really notice it at the 30 - 40 second mark.

It's not nearly simultaneous, it is simultaneous. It's just sim for the EU market zone instead of the US one.

Yeah, the boss music in the demo has it swell in and out. It's a nice leit motif to have. Maybe the best one.

Unless we get the Yonah one as well... that one might be the best one.

I wouldn't bet on that release date being final. SE uploading the same trailer without mentioning PC release date at all makes me think that the other one was a previous version.

Automata apparently has hidden items you can find through hearing high frequency sounds when you are near them, you know the kind only kids and dogs can hear.

I haven't played Nier or any other Taro Yoko game, but i might actually pre-order this (which would make it the second pre-order of my life) for PC if i ever get the chance. Even if i don't really have the time to actually play it.

Square-Enix have removed the trailer with the PC date from the press site.

So, basically, back to square zero I guess.

Well, CD quality music has a sample rate chosen (by a digital standard from 1980) to allow a reasonable resolution up to 22 kHz, so


sorry, you lost 35% of your hearing ability already, you're getting old as gently caress
