6 months later this game's soundtrack is almost all I listen to anymore like it's still the new girlfriend...I really like running to Wretched Weaponry...I think about the cool plot reveals that happened while it plays during that great part in route B and I feel super determined to finish the run and push myself beyond my limits

Square Enix is hiring staff for “NieR-related product scenario creation, as well as planning work.”

quote:

Yoko Taro

Hello. NieR series director Yoko Taro here. Thanks to everyone’s support, it appears that we will be carrying out various developments in regard to NieR. Nonetheless, there are limits to what lazy Yoko can do on his own. So I told Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito, “I can’t handle ANYMORE,” and now I get to round up a team of people to work with me, so I’m putting out a call for talented individuals.

Some people may be concerned by the thought, “What kind of person is Yoko?” I, too, am truly the same and full of worry in regard to, “What kind of people will come our way…?” However, for the time being, I think it may be good for us fellow uneasy people to talk a bit among each other.

*Lick-lick*.

Yosuke Saito

I have consulted with Yoko. What will we do with NieR from here on? This hit was a one-hit wonder, wasn’t it? We’ve hit our peak and there’s no going higher, that must be it. Things like that. But it definitely feels like there are a great many people waiting on the world of NieR. No, I’m sure of it.

That said, Yoko is not God. He’s human. He sometimes cries, and he sometimes gets discouraged. I’d like to take this opportunity to recruit those who could help Yoko and together weave the world of NieR, so we have now begun “NieR-related product scenario staff recruitment.”

It may be a hard to get in, but please apply if you’re interested. Thank you.

Yoko Taro grabbed headlines last week with his remarks at the SEA Summit in Singapore. They more or less boil down to, “If someone has money for this idea, heck yeah I want to do it.”

That includes a movie adaptation, a true sequel to Drakengard, a remake of the first Nier and, uh, an adult film. “I think this may be off-putting, but I’d like to make an adult video,” he said, according to Famitsu. “I think of it as something I’d like to at least make once in my lifetime.”

I mean certainly, I've always liked drinking a lot, but I remember when I was writing the previous games' scenarios and the stories for them, I noticed a [recurring theme] that all the stuff I had written when I was really out of it was actually the stuff that everyone really liked. And I thought, "Why the hell should that be?" It worked out. If I drink, I become a bit tipsy and a bit of a fool, and I lose my inhibitions. That kind of uninhibited story writing only comes out when I'm drinking, so I definitely try to drink a lot more whenever I'm writing now. It's very interesting; when I'm writing when I'm sober, it's like, "Ah yes, that's an interesting story, I'll write that, I'll put that there." But that's very different then when I've started drinking. I just start getting involved and having an emotional connection to the characters. I'll start crying and [I'm] like, "Wow, this is a really sad story!" So yeah, that's why I think it's better. Then I'll pass out, and wake up with tears down my face like, "Oh, I was writing a story." In the original Nier, there was the story of the wolf and the people with the masks. I remember crying along with the story as I was writing it while I was completely wasted.

I started this last night and it is amazing. Soundtrack is stunning, environments feel desolate and abandoned but not dull. Combat is satisfying.

I have had this game for months but there has been so much to play this year. I wish I could have got a steel case copy of this cause it's gorgeous but I do appreciate that square put a good cover on the reverse side of the regular one

Normal brain: Nier Automata is fun and slick to play, and its story is gripping and full of memorable twists

Galaxy brain: Nier has gameplay much inferior to previous Platinum titles which is constrained due to its need to appeal to RPG purists. However, its amazing, thought-provoking storytelling, masterful assault on the constraints of the medium, heart breaking depiction of flawed people striving to overcome their fate and nature and possibly failing, and powerful dedication to the nobility of the Sisyphean struggle more than make up for the combat being merely "pretty good"

Universe brain: the stupid titty robot game is weird and stupid but you press buttons to hit things fast so it's goty

This is gonna be cool but I don't get CD releases for music anymore. Until I fished my 360 out of storage there was no way to actually play one in my place.

Also, there is a vinyl OST coming by the end of the year and it looks slick as hell.
