Unlikely its coming to another platform. They didnt shy away from saying FF7Remake and The world of final fantasy is coming to other platforms. So it seems unlikely.
 
Yoko Taro = insane characters, story and direction
Akihiko Yoshida = amazing art
Platinum = top tier battle system
Keiichi Okabe = GOD OF MUSIC

This is one hell of a dream team.

But S-E never announces their JRPGs are coming to PC until they have been released on other platforms.

It's really quite amazing they got these people together for a sequel of a game that didn't even sell well. (insert a joke about platinum games never selling)

I love Yoshida's art anywhere I can get it and the game designer from Rising? This could actually be a good video game. Unironically.

RIP Rising 2.

Lol ign stream. "The trailer seems really dark and somber, which was never what Nier was about." (paraphrasing here)

I tried to translate that message at the end:

Using this:

And came up with this (I think it's right?):
NINGIO(U or V?) (E or H?)ITO KIKAI

So detective GAF, what does it mean?
 
This game is all I care about the rest of e3 doesn't matter at all. Taro Yoko, Nier, Platinum games. I'm so incredibly happy right now.
 
But S-E never announces their JRPGs are coming to PC until they have been released on other platforms.

FF7R and The other spin off are both jrpgs no? They both said they were coming to other platforms immediately at the announcements both of which are arguably much bigger than nier.

Im not saying its definitely not coming but its more unlikely.
 
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.

This is a legitimate concern, but I generally feel Platinum always puts a ton of variety inside and built around their core concepts. This might be somewhat more of a concern without a Mikami or Kamiya involved, but I'm comfortable with Inaba producing and the game designer of Rising and Anarchy Reigns involved.

And without Kamiya involved, you don't have to worry about a Space Harrier stage

I wouldn't be surprised if its lifetime numbers ended up decent. It had great word of mouth to give it long legs.
 
Sometimes you don't realize you have a dream game until it's been announced. One of the most most underappreciated games last gen plus one of my favorite developers makes me incredibly excited for more info.

I didn't get to play Nier since I didn't own a PS3/XBOX360, but I absolutely loved the concept of the game, its aesthetics, and of course, its soundtrack.

I never thought a Nier 2 or a follow-up game would even be considered, but holy crap this took me by surprise. I will definitely get this.

Man, this E3 is shaping up to be historical with all these crazy announcements and reveals.

Now that's what I call a Megaton!! Hopefully it lives up to the first game which is one of my most memorable gaming experiences of all time.
 
American Nier? 100% not, since he's not canon. Japanese Nier? 99% unlikely, it wouldn't follow Taro Yoko's style.

I thought that the explanation for that was that in some timelines it's Brother and some timelines it's Father.
But I think Brother is 100% more canon anyway.

Ningyou (Ningiou), Hito, Kikai

I dont know where to start to try to get my head around this. I am very happy

I always believed in this.

Everyone seem to be saying that the team had disbanded and so that Nier was a one off, therefore I did not even have the conception of grain of a belief system - well done sir..


Edit: can we have Nier 1 HD too please ? - more people need to enjoy this game
