Considering this game was announced during the Drakengard 3 LP at E3 2015, what's next? Drakengard 4?

If we're talking about a level 99 moose riding a boar that drifts and needs Guitar Hero/Rock Band controls to win, they'd make us do something like Through Fire and Flames or Painkiller.

Some Nier news for all of you. Looks like all of the Europeans who missed this game will get a second chance now that Automata's the new kid on the block.

I need to access the terminal to reach the bunker, 2B. Cover me.
Oh man, I mean, you know, I-I don't wanna shoot nobody.
They're just robots 2B! It's okay to shoot them! They're robots!

They're not robots 9S!
It's a figure of speech 2B! They're bureaucrats. I don't respect them. Just keep shooting 2B! You have no idea what prison is like here!

Now I wanna see a Rick and Morty style 2B and 9S, with the drool coming out of 9S's mouth while 2B looks like a nervous wreck.

After that, Commander is like "Who put that ancient human program in their black boxes?"

Knowing how the Drakengard 3 thread went with this games first teaser being released, Yoko Taro will be in charge of Kingdom Hearts 3 or will move in on Nintendo property for a new Metroid game before the end of this thread.

Since Square Enix owns Tomb Raider, imagine Taro as the director of one of the current generation games. Hell, the first one had a section of Lara swimming in blood! How is that not something he'd have made Zero do?

I don't know about you, but I have the most vivid dreams when it's daylight out, even if it's clouds and rain.

Speaking of fighting games, if SquareEnix ever did a fighting game of every property they own both Western and Eastern, you know they're gonna put in some Drakenier representatives. And on the off-chance Nowe's one of them, then can we please have Lara Croft plant her pickaxe right in his dome?

I remembered Just Cause is also SquareEnix, so Rico could just draw and quarter Nowe with his tethers.

In the oh so distant future
We're nine thousand years too soon
An android chick named 2B
Was a warrior from the moon
Now 2B fought for YorHA
With a sword of massive girth
And after she'd just repaired herself
They put her in an airplane and shot her back to Earth

"We'll make her fight some machines,
The cutest ones we can find (la la la)
And to get their combat data,
We'll monitor her mind (la la la)"
Now keep in mind, while they trust 2B
To never give up the ship (la la la)
She's got some special robot friends
To keep her from yanking her OS chiiiiip

Robot roll call!
2B!
9S!
Commander!
Pooooooooooooooood!

Now if you're wondering how that visor works
or why mackerels make her blue
Just say to yourself "it could be worse
Could be playing Drakengard 2"

But instead we're playing Niiiiiiiiieeeeeeeer Automaaaaaataaaaaa

Is this to the tune of something?

Drakengard 2 can be skipped unless you you really want to see the misadventure of the dumbest protagonist in gaming. Yoko Taro didn't make that one and it shows.

I dunno. Nine Gear Crow made a valid point of Leonard being a worse hero in White Knight Cronicles.

Now that I'm remembering, there's a Strong Bad E-mail episode where one of the Easter eggs was about Tire Madness and one of the words was Revenganceful. That's what that word reminds me of.

So I decided to look up Yoko Taro on Wikipedia and the next game he's done is this mobile game called SINoALICE. All I read is it's an RPG and the characters are based on fairy tales. Anyone got any screenshots of it?

Also doing the music is Keiichi Okabe, who did the music to Nier and this game as well.

So glad we're into the second route where Id can do more of his dialogue.

Okay, this has to at least do with Nier in some form.

I had heard about this game, Rabi-Ribi after seeing a remix for a theme on Youtube. I looked up the TV Tropes page for the game and while it is Metroidvania meets Touhou, what got me was that in the YMMV page, the Spiritual Adaptation trope says it's the closest thing we'll get to a 2D Nier game, and one that's lighter and softer.

Anyone wanna explain?
