Got excited for a moment, then remembered that I don't have plans to ever own a PS4. Never mind, it's not like I'll miss a sequel to NieR made by Platinum...


:'(
 
Just saw this. E3 fucking saved. It's such a dream come true. Going from Access Games to Platinum is such a god-tier upgrade.
 
This is, for me, a Chrono Trigger level announcement.

Story, gameplay, art, and music are all basically all-star quality. The kind of thing that I would put together as a hypothetical greatest JRPG of all time.

Akihiko Yoshida working on a dark game like this?

Man, I just... this is more exciting than FF7 for me.
 
This E3 is giving me heart attacks, which is no good since I need to live long enough to play this.

The thought of the soundtrack alone is getting me pumped as hell.

This is absolutely hilarious.
 
Sony has its hack-n-slash game now.

Talk about variety. This is great.

Platinum finally hitting the PS4. I guess saltiness levels will drop.
 
This E3 just keeps on giving!

The Last Guardian
FFVII-R
Shenmue 3
Horizon
And Nier 2!

If they do a HD remake of Nier, I'll be there too!

(Too many exclamation marks?...no, I don't think so)

The only way this could be better is if Folklore 2 was also announced. But if that were to happen, I'd probably be dead and in gaming heaven.

I own 3 copies of Nier and would gladly buy another.
 
I'm still in shock.
Never in a million years, I thought.

EDIT: And Amazon has a PS4 preorder page already, haha.

Hah, I didn't expect that. In related news I now have 1 or more preorders for this game.

Now I'm wondering if I should grind out that last (extra-grindy) trophy to get the platinum in honor of P*.

And Fallout and Doom 4. But yeah, Sony really won this E3 of all E3s.

Hoping they really use the tech inside the PS4 for this sequel.
 
I feel like we got an E3 from an alternate universe this year.
 
I'm listening to the OST now since it's been so long and I've forgotten how serene and beautiful it is. It is one of those few that brings a tear to my eye.

It's not worth it. I got 1000/1000 and I regret it. Such a pointless grind. But hey, you've already endured most of the pain.
 
Wait what??? I missed this announcement, Nier was my favorite game from last gen :| I'm not familiar with the names in the OP, are they the same guys that did the first one?
 
YeeeeeeEEEEESSSSS!!!
And the composer is the same?!
YEEEESSSS!!!

I hope they feature Emi Evans on the soundtrack again. That woman's voice is heavenly.

Yeah, I actually don't remember the others being bad but that last one definitely made me NOPE. I think I was at least a few hours away from it still, but I feel high enough on adrenaline to maybe make it happen.

I got the platinum, and while I didn't really regret it... it is pretty brutal getting some rare items by leaving and re-entering a place. And not by a short distance, either.
 
Now the kicker: ONLY on PS4, or PS4 console exclusive but also on PC? This would finally push me over the line into buying a PS4 if the former is the case.

Unconfirmed, but Sony doesn't appear to be involved, and the lack of an Xbone version seems to be mainly derived on the belief that it wouldn't sell there (which, considering the sales of pretty much every JRPG that released on an Xbox, is not exactly an unfounded belief). So in theory, there's nothing stopping Square Enix from announcing a PC version.

In practice, considering this show was as basically as Western as you can get, not mentioning the PC indicates that we probably won't hear about a PC version until after the PS4 is on shop shelves.
 
You know.. I'm one of the few people that will defend Final Fantasy XIII to my grave (and I love the other two games) but I cannot deny that this was the best JRPG (in loose terms) of the last generation. I am so looking forward to this and kudos to Square Enix for continuing it.
 
This announcement made me more happy than Shenmue or FF7 announcement.

Original nier FLOORED me after 3rd ending. I was like speechless for 1 hr. No other game left me with that kind of experience in this gen. EVER.

Bring it on, square.
