9s probably has a long history of being a delinquent who breaks expencive flyers and wastes energy talking too much so command assigned two hard asses to tell him to shut up and follow protocol.

The entire current command structure of Yorha is designed around keeping the latest 9S model on task and actually doing his job. It's been questionably effective.

You two got those costumes together in less than 3 months? That's impressive! Do y'all cosplay normally?

(Looking back on it, I realize 3 months is more than enough time, I'm just slow as poo poo getting my own costumes together)

Yoko Taro is an old man in a wheelchair who is always just off camera and is never directly acknowledged but who's totally been there the whole time.

So how long until Yoko Taro and Kotaro Uchikoshi collab on a game?

...I'm not sure the world is ready for a Zero Escape game with those two working together.

Depends on whether Yoko Taro ever heard about the previous LPs (and given the writing for Drakengard 3, it's likely).

It's the same as it was on the original bootleg shirt. 鬼神 or guǐshén, translates to "spirits" or "supernatural beings" according to google.

The Japanese reading of the same kanji is kishin, which can translate to "fierce god" or "monster". The Fierce Deity mask in Majora's Mask, for example, was 鬼神の仮面 (kishin no kamen) in the original.

I know 210 is a lot less popular than 6O but I gotta say I have a soft spot for her. Her VA does such a good job of clipped professionalism to a fault that 9S keeps trying (and failing) to break through. It's a good character dynamic and I think I like it a lot more than 6O's gushing about flowers and 2B's utter indifference.

nope!!!!!! This is me back in 2014 (before Yoko Taro schooled me on the Emil head construction) on the way to Anime Central in Chicago. Here I am drunk on the CTA at 2AM in full regalia. My pal went as Kaine with me but I dont really feel comfortable uploading duo pics without asking her first because... that is certainly a costume--you can see a bit of her train appropriate edit reflected in the window though, haha.



I was only recognized by three people at the con at the time but they were all super thrilled to see Nier getting love, I feel like it might get a more bombastic reception now due to the wondrous and totally inexplicable recent mainstream success of Yoko Taro.

Awwww!

I feel like people who are not familiar with Nier have a hilariously different reaction to Emil than people who've played the games. Emil is the greatest and I will hear nothing against him. :3:

Yeah, I saw a surprising amount of Nier cosplay going on at Otakon this year. I hadn't realized how popular Nier Automata was; couldn't find a good prop version of Virtuous contract/treaty, though :argh:

I also saw a Kaine cosplayer who was really good. That is a ballsy cosplay.

Kamiya, founder and director of Platinum Games, tweeted that Nier Automata basically saved the studio:

quote:

Nier's success has to this point given Platinum a new fanbase, a growing staff, a brilliant success story, an increase in qualified job applicants, and a great favour. Normally, I can't help but do everything by myself... it's a pitiful story, but to say that Yoko-san saved Platinum would not be an exaggeration. I cannot thank him enough.

Every year they've released a Nintendo-exclusive game they've also released a game on the normal consoles. 2009 had Mad World and Infinite Space released alongside Bayonetta, 2013 had The Wonderful 101 and Metal Gear Rising, 2014 had Bayonetta and The Legend of Korra, and 2016 had Star Fox Zero and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

That's not how that works. They're given a contract to make a game on nintendo's console, or they do no work.

Bayonetta 2 literally doesn't exist without Nintendo's funding.
