When my work day is over I'm going to go into a store and buy it like a regular human being, having not pre-ordered it and therefore not having to wait for any shipping.

otoh if you knew you were going to get it on launch day anyway, pre-ordering just means you get a cool steelbook for free. owned.

i'm going to gamestop here in about 30 to pick up my copy, they're doing that weird/silly thing where they can't sell it to tomorrow but they'll sell it right after the store hours end and roll the transactions onto tomorrow morning. i hope I don't have to wait in line

Can you switch between japanese and english VO whenever you want in this one, or is it a start of a new game only kind of deal?

NANI?

You can switch any time you like. Movie subs are a separate option that also needs to be toggled on and so far the game is kind of weird about what it does and doesn't bother subtitling in them.

You change it by pressing triangle at the save screen. Don't know why it's not in the options but there is a way to do it.

Good to know. Now I won't have that lingering regret thinking I chose the wrong one the whole time. I will probably still just pick JP like a huge goon

I haven't had a good name since Ohso Emo worked out perfectly for P3's protagonist. Probably go for the easy win and name him Four Bitch purely so the commentary reads "Do you love me, Four-chan?" and "Bitch, what do we do?"

Kid gets expelled and put on probation sooooo he moves out to a hip city, gets his own sick loft room above a speakeasy and gets all the curry and coffee he wants? That would be awesome what teenager wouldn't want that.

yeah honestly the premise of a 16 year old with a record getting a loft room above a coffee shop, far away from parents and being alone there at night is the exact opposite of the way the game presents it, that sounds sick as hell

like get some posters on the wall, string some lights up, some incense and a bong in the corner, this is a tight pad, great punishment cops

you should have just said 'so in the first game you team up with a pedophile and a cannibal to fight giant babies, and then you get transported to tokyo and get shot down by japanese fighter jets that infect everyone with a zombie virus, and then nier takes place in a post-post apocalyptic tokyo-' and seen how long it took him to accuse you of making it up

Igor's voice actor died and the Japanese version also pretty significantly changed him so it reflects that.
