Last time I tried that button it gave an error. I'll give it a go again later.

Yup, no matter how I find the page, google, clicking through, or whatever, they all give errors and have no price. Looks like we just have to wait for someone to come in and pres butan.

here's a hot tip for anyone who's like "i'm gonna start on hard because i'm a tough guy": be really proactive about healing yourself, the auto chip does not work like it did in the demo

Are the menu and wep descriptions in ENG too? Just curious since I have 2 weeks to go.

From what I've seen on the 2 streams I peaked at real quick, yes, everything is in english.

Only thing out of the ordinary is having to use the circle button to confirm instead of x. If you run it on your English account you won't even have to stumble through to pick a language, everything is English from the moment it starts up.

And I guess if you have some account weirdness that prevents you from doing that language is like the top thing in the options, just like in the demo.

Does anyone mind telling me how much Automata costs? I'm picking out PSN cards from Play-Asia and the online JP PSN store doesn't list the price.

Now the wait is going to kill me :sigh:

I wish I knew the reason for the 2 week delay too. Maybe to stop reverse importing? The game is already $60-70 in USA.

It's a little under 8500 yen.

It'll be just under 430 Hong Kong dollars when the store updates. It's the middle of the night there but the window for store updates opens at 9am there, which is roughly 2am GMT or 5pm PST.

430 HKD is significantly less than 8500 yen.
I would recommend waiting for the Hong Kong store to update first and making a decision then.

it kinda bugs me that a demo for this game exists but isn't available on PC... and then teasing such an awesome PC release date and pulling it sucks, but from a marketing standpoint, they will make more money from the people who want it now not waiting for the pc port than they will lose from indecisive consumers who will hold out forever

There was a video on Youtube making the rounds yesterday showcasing weapon types. I don't know if it's all there is, but they showed sword, great sword, hand-to-hand (bare fist or gauntlets), and polearm.

Alright, now the psn is being weird. Is anyone able to get a link to this on the JP PSN that works?

Sometimes when I click what should be the button for the game I get the 'You can not display the requested page' error, and sometimes when I click it, I get sent to the page for the demo.

On top of new weapons, big/small sword you can switch the buttons on them, giving both completely different moves.

Pretty sure the default setting is your system's default language for this game. I doubt it launches in English for the Japanese players.

Bought that HK version. Just beat where the demo ended. Now I can't save until the rest of the game finishes downloading, haha. I hope I don't get a blackout right now. 65 mins to go, PSN download speeds are pretty fast tonight.

What's the idiot's guide to purchasing the HK version? Also, does it work the same as a NA purchase in terms of being able to log into my regular PSN and play or do I have to change my region or account or something every time I'd like to play Nier? I'm happy to wait but if it's effectively identical I might as well get it now.


Edit: -v- Thanks much. I will sleep on it and make a decision in the morning!

HK version is super easy to get. Mainly because the HK store is in English.

1) Register for a new account at http://store.playstation.com/#!/en-hk/home/games
- You will need a separate email account from your general use PSN one.

2) Purchase digital PSN HK Cash from Play-Asia. I just bought the $500 HKD one, you might save a few bucks if you buy $300 + $80 + $80. The game itself is $428 HKD.
http://www.play-asia.com/playstation-network-500-hkd-psn-card-hk/13/707ex7

3) Buy Nier: Automata:
http://store.playstation.com/#!/en-hk/games/nierautomata/cid=JP0082-CUSA02517_00-ASIAOIDS20030612

4) Sign in to your HK PSN account on your PS4, set your PS4 as primary.

5) Download the game

6) Sign in with your general use PSN account so you can get trophies and saves on your profile.

There is no region swapping for PS4 so once its downloaded (as long as you set the HK account to use your PS4 as the primary one), you can play it on your normal profile easily. However, if any DLC gets released in the future, you would need to purchase it from the HK account. You can't apply US DLC to HK games.

EDIT TO ADD: MAKE SURE YOU PURCHASE THE ENGLISH/JAPANESE VERSION!!! Some guy on Neogaf accidentally purchased the Chinese version (which also has English/Japanese), and now has to wait til mid-April to download his game. If it says pre-order, don't buy it!

Edit 2: Effectively identical (I'm playing with English voice and subtitles), but circle is confirm and X is cancel. This still trips me up from time to time in the game. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it.

so 66 bucks right now for HK psn vs 48(maybe 52 with tax) if i wait 2 weeks and use my best buy gamers club for the us edition. This is actually super agonizing. I'm more concerned about catching a spoiler in these 2 weeks.

If you must blink, do it now.
Never thought I'd be this grateful to be so busy in the spring but here we are.

That said I'll probably check out of this thread for a bit. I don't typically care about spoilers, but I'd like to experience at least one Taro Yoko game as blind as possible, barring the few promos I've seen (and the demo).

Don't know if the game will send me here to prove a point, but I'm just loving around exploring and came across where you get to the factory from the demo and picked up all of my old stuff including the 2H sword you lose at that point. Nice to stumble across that.

Correct HK version: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...ver=4.20.5:home

It's approx $5 greater than digital order for US. It's really tempting since it comes with the same Day One items.

It's worth noting that if games can give you motion sickness, there's an NPC in the first settlement who when spoken to will offer to set your camera settings to an ideal level to reduce it.

I don't get motion sickness from games other than from severe screen tearing, but I don't trust Yoko Taro so I didn't delve into the option because I don't want to be trolled this way... (It's probably legit)

Try pasting it into another browser that doesn't have your usual PSN cookies?


Seems like my game got hit with this bug:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nier/comments/5vp6xs/quest_line_seems_bugged_in_my_game/

I guess I have to start over. Not that I mind playing through the demo again, but for people reading, do NOT start the game before all the game files are downloaded. You can check through Notifications > Download, the game is launchable at 10gb downloaded but wait til the full 48gb is done or you might hit that bug!

I bought it from there on my Android tablet, and have checked it a bunch on my Chrome PC browser and never been re-directed or used a proxy to get there.

Make sure you're logged out of your UK account first perhaps? Or incognito mode it.
