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.

Just had a horrifying realization: although Japan delivered an insane amount of earnest GOTY candidates, like Final Fantasy XV, Yakuza 0, Nioh, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata, Resident Evil VII, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and more, all the American GOTY awards are going to go to Bethesda's Wolfenstein sequel so people can use their awards lists/shows as a platform for their tepid political takes fffffffuuuuuuuuu

I'm finally wrapping up the story of Yakuza 0 and I just noticed: the in-engine cutscenes will act like normal cutscenes (people just keep talking and the scene continues uninterrupted) but if you press any of the face buttons, the cutscenes will act like a 'classic' cutscene (you have to press x for every new line of dialogue) I've literally never seen a video game do this before. What is this called, and why doesn't every game do it? It's really neat and convenient.

smt iv has it. and also a button to hide the chat box so you can watch the gfx and stuff. its nice, i dont usually use the auto button though. i wanna say fire emblem has it too but i might be wrong

In Training posted:

That would require me to not skip cutscenes in fire Emblem

In Training posted:

The persona games from golden and beyond have this setting, where it goes auto but if you hit X it swaps back to Push to Advance

I also like how all the Dragon Quest games I've played except for Builders let you advance text using the D-pad. Good for one handed gaming imo

I do hope it's a vast improvement over the last one, but a Bethesda game getting GOTY awards is just a sickening concept in general. 2011 was a much weaker year than this was but Skyrim getting all the awards still sucked to see

The PC version can be played either on Action Mode, which features a stable 60fps, or on Movie Mode, which is described as a cinematic option that can expand the resolution to 4K. Koei Tecmo's note to press suggests you can't deviate from either of these two modes, no matter how powerful your PC
