As a huge fan of the Raidou Kuzunoha spinoff series I literally could not be MORE for the idea of Taro Yoko directing an entry in it.

I'd settle for more Raidou alone :v:

Anyone buying Day 1 or The Black Box Edition? How do the DLC codes for your robot buddy work? Is it the same as FFXV?

Finally purchased a PS4 and I liked the demo. I esp like the OST as I'd never played a Nier game before. Also helped with the nice VA. I'm looking forward to it in March before P5.

let's have some cute fanart in the meantime:

God drat it, I want to support the NA version but it is so god drat tempting to go buy a bunch of JP PSN cards right now and get Nier Automata in the next day and a half.

Welp, just a reminder DLC are region-locked so might as well wait for the US release unless you have money to burn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Okay, I didn't know about the t-shirts being EU exclusive. Now if I can narrow down if the PS4 digital pre-order includes those Day One pod outfits I can safely cancel my Amazon pre-order and switch it over.

Digital preorders get all DLC items and theme. The only reason I can think of ppl ordering via amazon is for Prime discount and physical edition.

Dammit, you guys are going to convince me to dust off my HK account to get this today. I'm always a little reluctant to do anything on that account since I get a notification like every other day that someone is trying to hack it.

It's really worrying because I want to get the steam version, but if we're never getting it or if it's like a year delayed or something I'll just buy the PS4 version. But I don't want to buy the PS4 game only to find out PC is coming out like a week later.

Sorry if this has been addressed (I skipped over a bunch of posts to avoid potential spoilers) but I downloaded the game, it told me it was complete, I played thru the demo section and have been stuck at the System Check load screen for over an hour. What I want to know is if I stay on this screen will it eventually load? Or should I start the game over? If it's a bug I'd hate to waste time.

I wanted to congratulate Yoko for escaping the kusoge pit but of course there has to be soooomething lol. :argh:

Also I barely kept my poo poo together playing Normal! You Very Hard mofos are something else!

It's a bug they were supposed to fix so you'll have to restart. Hmm I'm thinking that a few more weeks of troubleshooting before USA release will help.

So I suppose I should have asked this before putting down the bones so I can play tomorrow but:

how representative did the demo of this game turn out to be? That showed me a straightforward character action game with camera fuckery, some equipment customization and very light exploration elements, but from reading as much as I can here avoiding black bars, I seem to have... er, missed the mark. (And wandered into something more explore-y, which didn't work for me in Breath of the Wild and I don't see working here either.)

It's a smaller game since there's not a lot of hubs but empty space. Also I hope you like replaying battles because there's a huge component of the story. Upgrading weapons is simple as farming mats but nothing insane like MMO can be and won't take hrs of your life away.

It's really, really infuriating to see people have 9S's AI turned on and just hang back with the pod while also saying the games combat is dull when they're actively choosing not to participate in it. I can't watch Automata streams anymore.

For the 1st PT 9S did nothing other than run into enemies despite changing the combat style until I hit Aggressive which ended up killing the happy machines too :smith:

I did turn on auto-chips because I hated aiming the pod during fights and flying enemies are bad.

You have to replay the game at least 4x to get the complete story and then do side quests.

Everyone just turn it to Normal and you can clear the game. No one will know the truth.

About Route C I'm at the part where 2B is trying to get to a location by the factory and is infected which means my moveset is disabled. However, I never realized how many places I needed to jump b/t areas so I ended up being ganged up while repeatedly failing to reach a high ledge :sigh:

Then I had to restart from the very beginning. Am I just going the wrong direction or too slow?
