Nioh embargo lifts on February 2nd (+ game size)
- Thread starter rockman zx
- Start date
Iv'e been asking this very question for the last few weeks, even asked on Reddit and no one knew :/
Even Demon's Souls never got a proper guide but a basic starting one from atlus. Future Press came in for the second Souls game. I don't see why anyone expected a guide for something they've been very cautious about in terms of physical handling ( no steelbook version, not even a physical LE)

Probably giving us the Yakuza 0 type package
AKA absolutely fucking nothing
Here in Australia there's only one retailer listing the Crimson Master armour and the dynamic theme as preorder bonus($100 for the standard edition...), and another retailer that has a poster of the cover art as a preorder bonus. None of the other retailers have any mention of preorder bonuses at all. I might just go digital...
There's an official guide book in Japanese, whether they translate it or not though... http://www.play-asia.com/nioh-official-guide/13/70awgd

It's already February 2 here. It sucks having this timezone at times like these.

Our review will not be out this week. But it's looking good boys and girls.

When can we expect it?
Do you have to co-op to earn it or does just playing through the game while online and fighting revenants give it to you? I want the skins but I'm not a huge fan of co-op in difficult games.

My understanding is that it's for co-op play, I'm pretty sure just being online doesn't count.

More like waiting for the game.Waiting for the embargo to lift:
Feel it in my bones, I need this game.
Speech is determined by characters. A lot of the Japanese characters speak Japanese (with some that speak English when talking to William), William speaks English, and so on.
I'm not sure about the text options.
The most impressive use of "everyone speaks their own language" so far has been the Nioh E3 2016 trailer, basically narrated by the Adams family (no not that one) Guardian Spirit. She gives the in-game explanation why William keeps returning from the dead, speaking Irish instead of English.
Also wanted to know if the NA retail contains Asian languages options (like alpha/beta) or not (LCT).

Nah. Create a character gets old. It's everywhere.
I really hope they get this right.
I don't want it to be like William speaking English, and Okatsu speaking Japanese and they fully understand each other.
If its done well, it could work, but it would be awkward if they didn't actually understand what the other person was saying but spoke in their respective languages anyway.
I think it would be better if William spoke some basic Japanese to the Japanese and kept the English to English people in the game.

I can see the polygon playthrough already.
All jokes aside, I understand if people can't really get into it. I am looking forward to this game.

We've already seen Hanzo and Okatsu switch to speaking English when talking to William after they realize that he doesn't speak Japanese. I don't think we have to worry about a situation like you describe.

I'm planning on getting it but wanna see the reviews.
I'm a little bit concerned about the environments since most of what I've seen looks like dull rocky/cliff, cave areas and village towns.

William speaks the Irish language in this game?
Haven't seen or heard any indication of such. The spirit does, in that trailer. Being an Irishman in the game, he would definitely understand it though.

I'm hoping for at least mid 80 meta.
Otherwise it won't get the attention it really needs.
