I could be remembering wrong but wasn't one of the three main characters going to be someone from the first NieR?

Cameos, probably
Emil, because the others are dead if this is a distant future.

I thought it was the same world, but with other characters.

Maybe a long time before / after the story of Kaine and Emil.

I would really love Weiss to be there :(

But Weiss dies at the end of the first game.
 
GarciaHotspur said:
Do you think Weiss will be on NieR 2 ?

Nah. Maybe just as a cameo or some sort of legend that has been passed down by people through the years.

Actually with all this talk about D3 and
Accord
being in the game, I wonder if we might get to see
Zero
in some capacity.

I mean at the end of D3
Accord did say that she thinks that we will see Zero some day in another place or something even if it seemed impossible at the moment.

I haven't played D2 or D1 so I don't know if that was a reference to those games or an actual tease about
Zero
returning in future Drakengard titles.

I think that was a reference to Drakengard 1, the game ends with a giant white statue like women and thousands of babys appearing, devouring most of humanity, im pretty sure that is zero.

Ah, that's a shame. I really hoped that we would see her some day :(

Scans

Holy shit! That shot of her standing in front of a giant robot! HOLY SHIT!

You might wanna remove those, though. Scans aren't allowed :(

Woah it looks really good, love the robots, remind me of Laputa! Hope the combat system is different enough from Bayonetta
Click to expand...
Well, they said that it'll be improving on the original combat system rather than just using Bayonetta stuff for the hundredth time on another game.

The full scan of the Dengeki of this week about the game :

It seems gorgeous !
Click to expand...

She seems to use the sword as a short-range weapon and the 'pod' support system allows her to make full use of attacking from a distance.

In that second scan, in the image with a bridge, you can see what looks to be one of her 'pods' she's using in the image (speculation by Dengeki):

It also appears that since humans emigrated to the moon the planet is generally falling into ruin and you can see traces of humanity in things (a staple of Yoko Taro games, especially with destroyed cities.)

As for the robots, it also says that the robots can repair and restore themselves, so they're self-sustaining.
 
Looks like the boss transforms since in one scan it is even bigger and another the "head" looks like it becomes the shoulder and it has a hidden head hiding underneath (possibly a boss in two phases?)

Translations pls

Most of it is stuff that has already been posted in this thread. Far in the future, aliens attack with those robot things, Earth is generally in ruins and humans emigrated to the moon, Yorha is part of a unit and is the 'calm one' and all of them have different quirks to them personality wise, the androids are not allowed to have emotions but are capable of it.

The new info is the stuff I posted above about combat and the fact that the robots can repair/maintain themselves, or even create new ones possibly.

Those image captions are pretty much just speculation by Dengeki or making comments about images like in most gaming magazines about stuff like 'wow, in this screenshot that place sure is run down! I wonder how long it's been since this place was abandoned'

Thank you! I was wondering if they wouldn't directly mention aliens and the whole moon thing, and just keep it as background. Guess not.

He's going full Taro Yoko.

Can't wait.

Funny anecdote about the game from nier2.com:

http://nier2.com/blog/2015/07/04/nier-new-project-famitsu-staff-interview/ said:
As far as the rating of the game goes, they want to allow the writers to be able to do what they want within a given limit. Yoko began making the previous NieR with the intention of getting a B or C rating…which inevitably turned into a D. He tried to tone down the violence that was present in the DOD series for NieR, but…CERO found fault with a completely separate issue (Kaine’s genitalia?), which lead to the D rating. “I’m always aiming for an A rating when I make my games, though,” Yoko said. “An A?!” retorted Saito. “The same as Dragon Quest!? There’s nothing in your scripts that would be considered A material. (haha)”

Yup, the japanese one doesnt have that at all:

Tho, i personally prefer the censored one, thats just more funny.

€: NVM, i was misinformerd, the release version had the censors too, apparently.

Even though the cussing censors were only in the western version, it still kind of fits with the joke narrative in some weird way. It is pretty weird though considering its an M rated game. I was playing Three's final DLC chapter last night and they censored the fuck out of parts of her final monologue and thought that was part of the game.

Well the Western version's dialogue is "spiced" up a bit I.E. Kaine in the western version opposed to it being joke censors in the Japanese version.
 
Can't wait for more informations tomorrow at the Paris Games Week !

Posting scans may get you banned.

Junior members stay banned forever.

You may want to edit those out

Thanks for the advice. Edited !
