I was in fucking tears when they announced this. I can barely believe it. Hold me, GAF. ;_;
Nier 2 announced (Square Enix, Yoko Taro, Platinum Games, Akihiko Yoshida, PS4)

Grimoire Nier spoilers:
How would Yonah even live that long? She dies shortly after the game ends no matter what, she was never cured of the Black Scrawl. It can't be a future Yonah either, the Replicant system was shut down in the area the game takes place in, so there won't be any further cycles with the same characters.
That makes more sense, with the whole whirring eye thing.Ningyou (Ningiou), Hito, Kikai

I was thinking this as well. A modern CT dream team, impossible by any real stretch of imagination.

Gaming is dead. This is just a desperate encore after half the crowd already went to a cheap bar next door.

Didn't the backstory in Nier Grimoire also mention it being androids that worked together to send the
Grotesqerie Queen back to the other world/Drakengard world

I wonder if "DOLL, PERSON, MACHINE" means
will have a more prominent role. I mean, we have
in NieR...
EDIT:
Theory is that
Accord and their kind from DOD3/Drakengard3
Popola and Devola
EDIT:
Theory is that
it's referencing what happened in DOD3/Drakengard 3 ending D

All you muggles who ask Square Enix to fuck itself and not steal Nintendo's time slot.
WHO'S TALKING NOW.

Drakengard 3 was also PS3 exclusive.

This. This E3 has been crazy.
Considering the focus on subversion and deconstruction of JRPG storytelling associated with NieR and Drakengard in general (minus 2, which Taro had nothing to do with), odds are that she won't be characterized anything like the "anime girl" you're dreading, whatever that means (I say that since it's such a broad term that could mean any number of things).
And yes, the guys on the IGN stream were an embarrassment.
This is heaven. I have died and went to heaven. I was thinking a few hours ago that "uhum, after Shenmue 3, I really cant complain for anything else, I mean SFV is coming, yeah UMVC4 is not happening, but the only thing I could wish for now is maybe another Nier-like game".
And then THIS? With Platinum?
Heaven is good, folks. Heaven is good.

This needs to be a spinoff.
I love those games and I'd love a Folklore sequel, but Nier is a whole different level, you'll see when you play it
Rally Go Round playing in boss fights. Fuck yis.
not really, they weren't around when the Queen appeared. But yeah, they did actually helped with the Red Eyes, and also are the ones keeping the Replicant system going. So yeah, she may be one of them too, it's a possibility.
Btw, the Queen didn't go back to the Drakengard world. She "died" but spreaded the curse that started the Nier plot (not the Black Scrawl, but the White Chlorination syndrome).

Didn't play Drakengard 3 so I don't know if there's any Nier reference in there, would appreciate spoiling it to me if so

I hope they stay the fuck away from that Drag-On Dragoon 3 story mess.
Yes, you should. Now.
I didn't knew I could be so happy at an E3. Damn this year.

I'd of course prefer to play it on PC, but this will make me buy a PS4.
WTF Durante, I thought you were on that Bloodborne shit.

Well, Drakengard was PS3 exclusive.
I gotta say something like this (and that), it's probably lucky they were made for ANY system at all, so I'm not complaining.

The game acknowledges that other timelines exist (Nier is sorta briefly mentioned), but otherwise the game has nothing to do with Nier and much more to do with Drakengard 1. Some of the weapon stories do reference Nier, and there is some speculation that one character is related to the Nier timeline.
LOL.

Maybe the gameplay will be fun this time !
Thanks! (I think that was for me lol).
So yeah, like DA1 to Nier, some references but probably not key on the plot of Nier 2 (will see).
I'm reading about that character right now. It's kinda weird though, because
the Androids on Nier didn't really tried to save humanity, they weren't programmed to do so, they just keep the Replicant cycle going because that's what they were for.
