Do the vocals make sense or is a bunch of gibberish?

I beat the first level/boss on PC. Damn this game is crazy awesome. I didn't like Bayonetta 1 or 2 at all but I really enjoyed revengence and transformers so I was hoping it was more of that style of platinum games. So cool! Gonna play more once my sister and her fiance go home.
Mentions Xevious as a fav game, my man!

Just finished route B and will be starting C tomorrow, that preview made me want to play more today though. Game is definitely game of the year for me at the moment though that could change when Persona 5 drops.
He is most likely trolling. When Drakengard 3 came out and he was asked the same question, he answered that he would now be unemployed. Two years later he announced NieR:Automata and its obvious from the other interviews that he was never really unemployed.
give me a restaurant management game directed by yoko taro, what can go wrong?
the ingredients are made from children, in the second playthrough you get a depressing back story for every meal you make.
Gibberish. Its real languages mixed between them or made up to resemble them.

He says in this interview that sony fired him so unless he already had the next gig waiting for him he was definitely unemployed, even if for a short period.
Edit: sorry, you were talking about the period between between D3 and NA, not the one I mentioned.

Route C is a definite marked improvement over the rest of the game which was really good but not this good, if you ask me.
He was fired back in 2000 and joined Cavia shortly after that alongside his other former Namco colleagues (Cavia was made up of former Namco people). He has definitely shifted around a lot though, he's up to now worked for Namco, Sony Japan, Cavia (AQ Interactive), Access Games, Square Enix and now Platinum Games. He must know a lot of devs now. I've seen him go out for drinks on Twitter with Fumito Ueda and Keiichiro Toyama, for example, let alone his new friendship with Hideki Kamiya and the other peeps at PG. As long as he has so many friends in the industry I think he should be okay.
Then the Grotesqueries (the giant babies) come back and eat the patrons of the restaurant. Fin.

I did the second one in route A... I see no flying thing. I wonder what the deal is.

Its just Yoko being flippant more than usual; I think he's just reached the point where he doesn't want to deal with the personal attention on the press circuit any more and he's just fucking about now.

Pretty sure we can guess the dress code for employees...
Yeah everyone wearing emil heads.
Same. I'm not one to bother with side quests and giving a shit about getting a platinum, but I probably will with this one. I suspect it's going to be my GOTY. It's definitely in my top 10 of all time.
Such an amazing and unique experience. I can't stop recommending it to everyone.

Pretty much.
Once you're in the open world and you're getting that sense of exploration in the beautiful post-apocalyptia, framed by the music, the game really started for me. The environments are shockingly diverse.
This game got very good when the robots you're slaughtering started
It just feels wrong in the best way.
It's not really about the combat, which is good, or the level design, which isn't really good when it becomes deliberate and linear; it's really about unraveling the unorthodox narrative, punctuated by light combat and surprisingly demanding boss fights. Every plot thread presents more questions. The music and self-aware writing make me think it's going somewhere great. It's always managed to upset expectations so far.
I don't like 2B or 9S individually, but they play off of the plot elements decently. 2B is anime cringe, but they're the perfect dupes.

Reload your save or close the game and start it up again. It's a bug, but there should be a blue flying machine that wants to race.

do you think there is any interest/need for a Nier checklist similar to the Dark Souls ones? http://zkjellberg.github.io/dark-souls-3-cheat-sheet/
my first reaction is that it's not super important because the game shows you percentage complete for items and side quests, and the game has a big random element where there aren't like set treasure chests
but might be cool? what say you ot

There are 4 weapon types and they have different base stats/level stats. In addition some have special skills/traits.
Swords
Heavy Swords
Spears
Gauntlets
She might be the most cliche tsundere I've ever seen in a game and the VA reflects that, for better or worse, to perfection.
Am I going to be surprised?

But should I use heavy sword A over heavy sword B because it's better for something else, or just based on dmg?
Hmm...

I believe Amazon recently allowed international purchasing recently. This link should work.
It'll make you make an account and just click the "internation address" option when setting up your address.

I've got mixed feelings on Tuba, but she isn't really a tsundere, and definitely not a cliche tsundere.
Within the first ten minutes of the game, she is getting emotional with 9S, and you see a lot of different sides to her throughout the game - especially in sidequests.
Some of her individual lines are typical tsundere, but if that's enough to make her a stereotype, then every character ever is a stereotype.
Literally none of the others act like that.
I didn't realize there was a set timeline for a clearly outlined character arc.
She's very cold and stand-offish in the first mission and opens up slowly over the course of however long it takes you to beat it. That's classic. The following four hours, another life-cycle, and she's still shutting herself off from others as those around her become increasingly emotional and expressive.
