What stream was this? I thought there was only going to be a stream on the 23rd... BTW bought it from the JPN PSN store. The fear settled in immediately. What if it doesn't have the language options

Damn people, just wait until the day of. There will be people to confirm if the languages are there or not, me for example.

There was a Dengeki stream today. Don't worry Saito confirmed there is English in JP version.

Part of me feels like the OT should be 'No, You Should Not Start With This One'. (Don't believe Taro's lies.)

The opposite of the Yakuza 0 OT title, except this one would only serve to confuse people lol

Much like the game will, no doubt.
2B's version of a mic drop.That letting-go-of-the-sword animation at the end is great!

It's so goddamn good! I was watching the newest Nier Playstation Access video earlier, and couldn't get over all the subtle little unique animations for sheathing all the weapons. Platinum has to easily have some of the best animators in the industry, I still can't get over how weighty all of 2B's weapons animations are, but without ever being too intrusive. 2B's walkcycle is amazing, too, it always makes me think of that Charlize Theron 'walk like a queen' gag on Ellen:

Both versions have both languages. English subs can be found on both as well.
Fantastic, thanks
I assume the ot title is decided? Better be good. :3
Who's making the "quite the fan art following" thread?
Oh shit, why has no one made this ye- Hmm, actually...

May want to lay down some ground rules to stop it from getting locked.
Lol yea, that's why I just stopped myself, because I just realized that's probably the reason why. But yea, with some rules, it'd be fine most likely.

I didn't even know that was a thing.

The combos in the game are awesome, and it's really cool that you can have two weapons and do combos with both of them.
lol I'm also having a hard time choosing if I should play it on normal or on hard for the first playthrough.

Gotta go w/ Hard imo, feels just challenging enough, and not having a lock-on button frees up a button input, which I find to be useful.
Same, I'm a little embarrassed as to how often I've absentmindedly died when playing on Hard. Hell even when I was giving it my full attention, it still happened a few times at first.

It's definitely going to add several hours to my completion time but I am patient and thoroughly enjoy having to fight hard just to go on.
Thank you. Should be nice evening watching.

Should I watch the Drakengard videos also?
I tried only twice on hard until now and it isn't that hard but it seems I always forget that if you do the drop attack while they are attacking they will hit you, it's the main thing that kills me.

You're welcome.
I'd recommend doing so, as they're very interesting in their own right, and they do have quite a bit to do with the eventual creation and story of NieR.

Alright thanks.

There are more, and not all are robots - though there's quite a bit of variety to be found in the robots alone.
Did you see the gameplay footage with the suicide bomber robots? So adorably dangerous lol
I think this video does a pretty good job explaining the story from the beginning

I watched it already but thanks anyway.
That's night and day from most of the game's fanart - I don't see the barest hint of a camel toe, cybernetic creampie or creatively-employed buzzsaw.
Still, I don't think there's much of a point to a separate fanart thread - there are some nice SFW pieces, but I feel it'd be impossible to have any sort of conversation that didn't circle back around to the porn.

All of you are going to play it tomorrow while I have to wait 2 weeks for a physical copy

Hey, I'm stuck with you on this too.
I swear, if any of you spoil anything in the OT...
After the discussion in the other thread about how NieR: Automata wasn't a single person's definition of 'deep action game', I got started on this out of curiosity.
Turns out that NieR: Automata will have at least 50 loadout-sensitive combo animations + special moves depending on what weapons are equipped in what slot.
... But it could have as many as 150 if both 9S
and A2
Really want to try out the spear in the final game
Spear goodness!
fuck me the animations are so good
Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but do we know for sure that the Asia version will include English subtitles?
Thinking about using my HK account to get this, so I can use the leftover money on there.
Also, waiting 2 days sounds a lot better than 2 weeks and it would free up a bit of time in the crazy march launch window.
