Being originally from Boston, the cold nights were rarely a problem for me. Of course, back in college, my insistence on shorts almost all year round backfired spectacularly on an especially cold day in February during which there was a bit of sleet that turned to freezing rain, right when I needed to trek clear across campus to get to my next class. :suicide:

Oof, I can imagine. Cold dry air is very different from cold wet.

So, speculating on the other two costumes, Kaine seems likely. Yonah seems unlikely, but Papa Nier is a maybe, since the other two are ladies. That's assuming we're sticking with just Nier and not getting into new costumes or Drankengard or other Platinum games.

Is this about an incident brother nier had when he was trying to pay for his sister's medicine or is this in regards to something else?

Aww... what? C’mon! Tch... Fine... We’ll take a medium-biped.

If I remember my run through this correctly, this would actually be the optimal choice. Smaller, lighter robots get hit less, but seem to deal out the about the same damage with most non-special attacks. I could be wrong.

A2 is basically just RoboKainé. 2B is inverted Papa Nier; instead of being a hulking softie with Jamieson Price's booming manvoice, she's an ice-cold professional killer with a voice like a squeaktoy.

She's not squeaky in any voice over though. The major criticism of her English VA is that she's an hardass all the time, even when it's not fitting of the moment.

Don't know if this was brought up earlier, but...

Apparently they're doing a new run of the YoRHa stage play, this time featuring 2B's voice actress Yui Ishikawa as Number Two. Emi Evans and Marina Kawano (who sang the Japanese ending theme for Automata) are listed as singers. They're also going to run a brand new play about the first male YoRHa models, with "Number Nine" as the main character. Might not be super relevant to the thread, but I thought it was neat.

(Loosely on the topic, it's interesting how far apart A2 and 2B are personality-wise, despite having the same base. 2B's a cold professional with a keen understanding of her own guilt and a buried core of empathy. Meanwhile, A2's an idiot murder hobo.)

She does the art for the Taiko Drum Master series. Her work persona, at least, is the radical opposite of his.



So of course she did fanart of the game.

If you don't think that Yukiko Yoko isn't as crazy or more than Taro, you're probably wrong.
Although it's really funny to see the contrast in their mannerisms, as her social media presence gives me the impression that she's super outdoorsy and outgoing, whereas Taro is a pensive antisocial (borderline)hikikomori. But I am nonetheless confident that they are comparably weird.

True, but he's also mentioned in several interviews that he doesn't like going out, exercising, or the like, and prefers to sit in his room in the dark and write. He may just be heeding the call of booze. I mean, the Emil mask isn't just for meme-y purposes, he genuinely doesn't like being photographed or making public appearances. I do think he shows a lot of other signs characteristic of social anxiety, but I'm not here to be an armchair therapist.

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."
I kinda want to see a game by Yoko Taro with his wife's art style. I mean, yes, the whole "super cute stuff in super disturbing situations" shtick has been done to death, but if anyone can breathe some new life into it, it's :yokotaro:.

Oh man thinking of the juxtaposition of cute and disturbing, I kinda want to see Yoko Taro helm a Kirby game. Kirby loves to play around with final bosses and secret bosses that are pretty creepy (by kid standards, at least), pushing the envelope all the way to Yoko Taro's level would definitely be something to see. Plus the Kirby series loves shoot-em-ups almost as much as he does.

If there would be a cross over it would likely be with 15, because that game is crossing over with everything lately
My mind is still prosessing the extremely out of place and sudden rear end creed crossover, and the tekken one

Wait... I jist remembered that it already did
As 15s main swprd thing is in nier (also on rear end creed)

Edit: I had completely forgotten that nier stuff was on 15 too
