Hmm, this might be a weird(wrong) place to ask, but does anyone have any good wallpaper art from the game? I'm so excited and avoiding spoilers but nothing is out there to temper my hype yet

I've been wondering this too. I thought there'd be a clean 1920x res of the japanese cover/banner out there but no luck

Check the Artworks Gallery in the OP - I did what I could to find the highest res versions I can find, so all it will take to make most of them a wallpaper is some cropping.

Question! Location spoiler!
Where is Emil's house? It's not where he brings you after the Lunar Tear quest, is it?

It's deep underground as he says! I don't have the map on me right now. But there's a sewer pipe in the city ruins that you can leap into :not walk, like the flooded city entrance: that has an elevator that'll take you to the caves leading to his shack

I feel you.
To pass time, I've been watching every drakengard and nier analysis videos.

Is it just me or is the English dub of this game really well done? I'm impressed at how good it sounds.
This game got me hyped. I usually hate these types of games but, this one is hyping me up so bad.

I'm not surprised. For whatever reason, Taro's games have had excellent dubs if I judge off of D3 and Nier.

I thought the dub was very good as well. Eve and 9S in particular were my favorites.

Thanks everyone!
I didn't play the Japanese version of Nier or D3 but I do have a little theory that Taro's games SEEM to use less "nyahh nyahh uggu" speech than the average non FF JRPG and so it's easier to translate and then turn into colloquial English and direct the dub properly.
Considering it was lacking in terms of what it put in that world, I'm okay with a smaller approach tbh

Hmm, lemme see if I can find it.
Also if anybody has more exact directions, that'd be most appreciated.

Oh that's good to hear. Hated that in XV. Took forever to get anywhere.

I saw some sites giving this game 9/10s and one that gave 88/100.
I bet someone has already posted here already.

Yeah, a review thread is ready to go, just waiting for one more major publication to review the game & generate a Metacritic score.
I haven't played in Japanese yet, but they sample some of the English voice work in the music.
I thought that was really cool.

It's in the sewer pipe directly to the right of the building that you end the last Speed Star race on top of.

This thread has now passed the original NieR's OT in terms of number of posts (it had 4246 posts), and the game isn't even out in the west yet!

Route B spoilers:
You're think about how much you want to **** 2B aren't you?
Don't worry 9S. So am I

I may go back to old Nier, but in youtube format.
(I actually own the game but never played lol)
It's really hard for me to get into any kind of game if the actual game isn't up to snuff, to be honest.
Like, the philosophical (?) implications of the story in Automata are actually really interesting to me unlike say, something like Metal Gear Solid, which always just kinda seemed convoluted and based on someone opening a newspaper and looking for buzzwords having vaguely to do with current events in order to cobble together a script.
(that series really only reaches cool action movie I'd see over a Michael Bay film-tier, if I was to be frank... so it's on par with Tetsuo Araki's (Death Note, Attack on Titan) work as opposed to something I'd watch to actually think critically about various issues)
Even the points MGS 5 was trying to make about language or whatever felt kind blah, whereas even though I'm not completely sold on all the actual storytelling here (some scenes feel a bit 2edgy4 me), just the ideas behind everything are actually really interesting the more I'm exposed to the tidbits of story you experience here and there.
Like, there was this one quest where you have to escort a large group of
theme park robots trying to have a peace parade
In terms of gameplay, it's one of the worst quests I've experienced so far next to Speed Star in terms of what you have to do, but the NPC asking me in the end if I think that they're being stupid kinda punched me in the balls for whatever reason.
Would someone be kind enough to tell which items are safe to sell? I haven't been able to play much and only just beat the 2nd boss. I do have a massive amount of items I picked but I see some are needed to upgrade the pod.
Is there a way to tell which items are for just selling?

Anything that says something to the effect of "Can be exchanged for money" is safe to sell.

Ending of all routes/document spoiler and just questions/wondering.
So according to the Machine Research Report, Jackass eventually caught on to everything that happened by the end of the game? Also since when did she become an Information Analysis Officer?? =0

Maybe, I think it had release day guarantee on the page last week, but I could be misremembering. Placed my order on Monday and it says the 21st so I hope it's just an error and that date gets changed to release day.

One of the most pleasant games I have played in a long time.

JP amazon reviews have been bouncing back up to 3.7. It will probably reach 4 stars.

Taro got me good with that one.
Despite the totally non-lewd preceding text, I was still thinking of 9S wanting to bone 2B.

And that's ending B. This game is so fantastic.
Quick question, I've done nearly all of the side quests so far, are the new ones that come up worth it? I think I remember someone saying that they're overall shorter

I personally don't do all side quests in most games I play, but I'm going for them all.
There's a lot of them with really cool stories/twists/reveals of small bits of world building and lore etc.
If you've been doing them up till now, I say it's worth it.

Okay cool I'll watch out for them. Only ones I haven't completed are the Speed Star, information on the old world, and the one with the machine who was deep in thought(I think?)
Also when I was playing as 2B I saw some side quest icons in the basement of the factory but I didn't have access to it. Are those exclusive for when I have chapter select or something?
Why so low??? Or does it rank from 1 to 3 stars and they broke the scale?
I can't even remember what I got from finishing these, but yeah, it's pretty ass.
(I think I got a speed chip lol)
