On one hand it's sad that E3s will never be as good as this one but on the other hand, yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Yeah, I agree with this. The variety of gameplay types might have meant that the individual elements in Nier were not fully polished, but I still loved that variety.
I want shmup sections, isometric parts, sidescrollers and text adventures.
Nier never got a port, sadly, otherwise I'd be playing it right now rather than contemplating going through the trouble of finding the disc, getting my last-gen console setup working again, and then playing it in its 720p, uneven framerate glory :/
How do you know? I would love it, but how do you know?
The good thing about this is that consoles aren't.
The job this man is doing with Square is unreal
Praise be to this man. New Square is the shit. We makin games now, boys!

I've just realised, is the protagonist Yonah?
She looks like she could be the sister/daughter of Nier. And it would follow ending D.

Grimoire nier seemed to imply
Yonah will die no matter what The Shadowlord or Nier did

sony pretty much shitted on everyone else tho.
People who like weird Japanese games are likely to either have, or will strongly consider buying a PS4, so that platform is an obvious choice for Japanese-centric games. And if the sales of the 360 version of Nier in the West were weak, there'd be little reason for Square Enix to consider the Xbone. The sales ratio of games like Final Fantasy Type 0 will add further credence to solely release on PS4. However, I wouldn't be too surprised if a PC version comes out in a couple of years. The reason is that PC versions of critically well received games can sell pretty well even if they're released years later, while that doesn't seem to be the case for console versions.
2nd, lol.

given the weird time fuckery that Nier is based on from Drakengard, i don't think the protagonist of this game will have such a strong, direct connection to the first game.
i call that its Halua, Emil's sister.

I've been meaning to replay Nier for quite a while now. It would seem fate has forced my hand.

This was my reaction all rolled up into one.
Care to share what SE is making?

Well the second paragraph in the OP says PS4 exclusive.
Seriously, I don't think even the silliest of the GAF wishlists included something like Nier 2 with Yoshida and Platinum Games, this is the FANFICEST OF FANFICS
Yes! God yes.
Even the bosses, actually, which is something Platinum is amazing at, I hope they keep a Nier feel to them, the boss fights were actually very clever.
To put it simply, I want Platinum's take on Nier, not a Platinum game called Nier.
And, as others said, I truly believe they're more than capable of doing so, it's up to S-E, if they want a true sequel.

Barf? Lol the PS4 has games that cover every genre and type it's not that bad bro.
For me, it'll push me to play Drakengard 3. I know it's not great, but I have it sitting there and I need to play it at some point.
Well, in this case I have confidence in Yoko Taro directing.
I don't think SE wants to make Nier a full DMC. They know the fanbase of Nier.
Shadowlord dying means everyone dies. Even Yonah, Nier, Kaine... That's why I'm so curious at how they continue the story.

Am I...am I dead and in heaven ?
Because with FFVII Remake, I braced myself for disappointment. I was hugely surprised it was true, but the shock was lessened by the leak.
But this ?
Nier, one of my favourite games ever.
Metal Gear Rising, one of my favourite action game and Platinum games ever.
With THIS team :
TOTALLY UNEXPECTED.
I mean...I just can't I think I'm dreaming and I am going to wake up any moment now.
E3 2015 is legendary.

I'm deeply impressed with him, and he's a great speaker, despite his rough english. Cool guy.
Her eye made a robotic noise.
Human Gestalt placed into an android body would be my wild speculation.
