Good news for you then: they've actually spoken out multiple times in interviews about how much creative freedom Square Enix has given them with the project - it legit caught them off guard.
I got the impression that SE realized the appeal behind Yoko Taro's stuff, with him appearing at E3 and them having a survey about him, giving him probably more free reign than before.
The appeal behind Yoko's games is his crazy. I'm not buying this for Platinum's combat.

I'll probably do one more poll to decide on the OT title, with runner ups being used for OT2, OT3, etc. If anyone has any last minute ideas, let me know.
Interesting thoughts - I'll see if I can't come up with something in this vein for the poll.
I was rewatching the trailers for the OT (which is ready to go) and it stuck out to me as a good OT title.
Agreed.
See, this is what polls are for, hahaha.
Don't jinx it like that - if the demo thread can reach 76 pages, surely the OT can reach more. (Though an OT2 may be pushing it...)

Just being realistic. Look at The Last Guardian. The most hyped game of (almost) all time and it never even got close. Multiplayer, exploration, hidden content, etc., etc. drives OTs forward (by vast majority though the multiplayer).

Oh I know, just being hopeful.
I'm pretty confident it will reach more posts than the demo thread... As for anything more than that, not so sure.

I'm one those who never played the previous game, but tried the demo and is very interested. I know they announced PC version and have been very quiet about it so thats why I'm on fence with PS4 version.

i'm still getting the game but I cancelled my black box pre-order. The figure just wasn't good enough to justify the price
But the artbook/steelbook/soundtrack CD!
Speaking of the Black Box Edition, my pre-order was charged earlier this morning. Goodbye money, but it was meant 2B.

I was in a similar position, the black box being $313 in total here in Canada killed it for me though...
Right now I just have my preorder in for the regular edition. (Though I will really regret not being able to get the Artbook, CD and steelbook...)
PS: If anyone is getting the steelbook and doesn't want it, throw me a line.

Game's gold, still no Steam page.
Man she is a character, I'll tell you what
I'm in Canada too, so I feel your pain.
I don't care though, I needed it so I ordered it. Regret will come later probably, but I'll have all of my BBE goodies to keep me company.

yeah this is exactly me, also in Canada.
would have kept my pre-order had the figure been better quality (or bigger) tbh

I mean we all know she's best but unfortunately we know how these things go

Same, if the figure was full size (i.e: ~30cm Tall) with a modeled base, I would have bought the set for $313 in a heartbeat.
In other news, here's the Final OT Title Poll.
I am getting a Switch and Zelda, and this game then leaving taking a trip to Vegas the following weekend. FML.
Believe.
Sounds like we're going to need to gifbomb the thread to OT2.

I mean, I don't mind gifbombs, but try not to overdo it when the OT goes live.
Then again, if the gifs are this good...

Pre-order theme just makes me want the soundtrack even more.
Even tho we're now only two weeks away, even tho i played a demo, even tho i played it a dozen times, i still can't believe this game is real.
Nier was such a weird, stealthy gem, that after all of its cool ideas and unique charm instantaneously became my favorite videogame of them all despite all of its rough edges. But because the world is a cruel place, the game didn't sold well and the studio that made it shut down, a sequel was unthinkable.
And then during a complety inconspicuous E3 press conference, they suddenly not only announce a sequel with the OG team on board, it's also made by the best action game dev in the biz.
Now someone is making an OT for Nier 2, we're looking at smooth gifs, playing a demo, and waiting for the digital preorders to unlock.
I really don't understand it, but it is beautiful.

It'll be better than Zelda so go ahead and just pop that on your backlog 😊
As someone getting both on Day 1, I whole heartedly disagree. Especially because they're REALLY DIFFERENT.

Here's the source of my info: back cover of the Spanish/Italian version.

This cover is confirming dual audio to the bottom right if i understand correctly?
Bodes well for the Japanese version to have it as well

Is the prequel worth tracking down and playing? I've heard good things over the years. It was a title that kind of fell thru the cracks. I sorta want to play thru before the new game is released, but if it aged badly and has antiquated/infuriating mechanics maybe I'm better off not playing it and just Youtubing it...?
Kidding as much as Caim
It'll be interesting to see everyone's reaction to the story. Most love Nier, but most dislike Drakengard 3. Personally, I like both so I'm fine. But, we'll see if Taro delivers
