Holy shit this announcement is on par with FF7:R to me. I loved NieR to bits and seeing the gameplay being handled by the best action studio out there. I'm creaming my pants. More info in the months to come.

Only Square Enix can make Platinum Games' involvement lifelessly dull

I'm interested. Thank goodness this was the big Platinum reveal. Now they're working on something I care about on all current gen platformers.

NieR has the single most beautiful collection of soundtrack ever heard in a game on top of having a very compelling plot. The game's weakpoint however was the combat and overall gameplay. However, Platinum being at the helm in that department, it now has everything needed to succeed. VERY PROMISING.

Here's hoping it will be ported to PC as well, not playing the original NieR is one of my regrets from when I used to actively play consoles.

Bulge spotted.

Kaine confirmed?

New details: Three playable characters
Taro did explain that the new Nier would feature three playable characters, two of which we have seen already; the white-haired girl who featured prominently in the trailer, and a small boy shown in a brief trailer shot standing on top of a building. The final character has yet to be revealed.

I've waited for the one game to push me into buying a PS4 and this will finally be it. I expected a platinum PS4 exclusive and NieR 2 definitely exceeded my expectations. My game of the forever.

Nier Grimoire, the lore book for the Nier series wrote...
The left side of Kaine’s left body is unbelievably black, with pulsating and jittering pulps of meat, as though it is an entirely different organism. The traveller keeps on repeating to herself “everyone is equal”, and smiles at Kaine. The traveller looks down because Kaine has been staring down the whole time. Then she sees Kaine hold something with her demonic left arm, and she was absolutely horrified when she notices what that thing is.

Kaine is holding……. that swelled up and stiff male organ. The traveller saw the blood vessels on the object shaking. Kaine isn’t just possessed by Shades, she is also a hermaphrodite. “I can’t control myself… in the night after I killed Shades…”

This is the first time that Kaine has talked to the traveller. Kaine narrows her eyes and opens up her lips, then she looks at the traveller has she rapidly moves her left hand. Her breathing becomes much more rapid, and her eyes lost focus as she looks up into the sky.

Kaine looks up to the sky, thinking back to how someone helped pushed her forward within that white light, when she clearly heard “I’ll leave this guy to you, lingerie woman---”

They meet again.

An Emil with a slightly different body, an older Kaine, and a younger version of “him”..

Yes… His name is…


Three characters might be Shota Nier, Redux Emil and r18+ Kaine? Kaine is confirmed pedophile. Yoko Taro lying scumbag as usual.

For once in his life Yoko Taro will have a complete budget for his game. Song of the ancients piano arrangement was teased in the trailer. I am ready.

I think he said they will return but only as NPC's so that girl in the trailer might be a completely new protag.

Taro emphasized that newcomers won’t feel alienated if they haven’t played the original, but returning players will enjoy the nods and easter eggs to the original game.


A separate interview on endings, occured during Square Enix presents of E3 2015.

That moment where you can sympathize with Kaine's plight.

May I request that the forum's name be altered to represent the official name?

Information on the story of Nier: Automata, http://www.siliconera.com/2015/10/27/new-nier-project-announced-as-nier-automata/. Also the protagonist of Nier:Automata is a gender unknown android named Yorha 2B. Gender unknown. Good lord.

There are possible parallels between Accord from Drakengard 3, Emil's fight against aliens in Grimoire Noir and Yoko Taro's follow up stage play to Nier:Automata Yorha(http://nier2.com/blog/2015/07/09/yorha-summary/).


On an unrelated note Yoko Taro released a manga called "Thou Shalt Not Die". I'd recommend it.
