Support NeoGAF

[BRSxIgnition]

So, the HK version has the English dub? Or just text.

All versions should have the language support listed in the OP.

It's already been confirmed that the Japanese version has all language options in the OP, so I'd assume the HK version will too.

So...Someone in this thread has already finished the game and yet we essentially have no impressions.


Impressions. Now.

Nobody in the thread has beaten the game yet, one person has gotten the

first level death

credits. (Which is a very different thing)

Music is so good.

Thank you.

This fucking sucks, lol. Do I have two weeks worth of self control?

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Just pre-ordered the soundtrack (bonus CD included if you get the first edition) and art book (Akihiko Yoshida!) in anticipation for this. Don't need the Black Box edition with those. Fuck me it's going to be a long two weeks. At least Nioh will tie me over until then.

10 hours? Guessing it's pretty light on the rpg side then?

Damn did he rush thro the game?

Famitsu said so

 

[Drewfonse]

Got the first ending folks. Woo.

This person. Am I misunderstanding?

That was the demo :v

Nvm found it

Each day I hate that famitsu review more and more.

The game length (from the producer himself) is listed in the OP.

The way Yoko Taro games work means that the "the game is only 10 hours!" argument is completely pointless and misleading.

 

[BumRush]

First ending is

dying on the first level

 

[Gin-Shiio]

Like they have different faces, or something else?

The bodies vary in shape and size, and the heads while usually keeping their basic round shape are decorated differently depending on the area. But I'm not talking about their looks, really, but rather the amount of different kinds of enemies and attacks they throw at you.
Some enemies will look familiar at first glance, but then not act like it at all.

Ah okay, I was already aware of that. Was just wondering if there are actually different-looking robots.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Almost 2 am in HK, when does the store update? 9 am HKT?

 

[Comrade Crunch]

This person. Am I misunderstanding?

Each "ending" is usually more like a chapter in Yoko Taros games, there are at least 3 or 4 more endings that behave far differently than the first one.

Also, the first ending can be gotten about 5 minutes into the game.

 

[TissueBox]

Yeah it's so good it's distracting me lol. *wipes tear* Just beautiful. This is gonna be in 'em lists you see 1/2 years from now alright.

9am min.

I should of just gone JP psn, cause am i so distracted, i'm not getting shit done anyway today ¬__¬

Well 9 am is fine with me, 9 am HKT is 2 am CET my time.

So apparently it takes a couple of hours for the Japanese store page to go from accepting pre-orders (with pre-order bonuses) to accepting regular orders. Right now it's currently in that in-between time where pre-orders have closed but they haven't started accepting orders yet. That's why there's no price listed for the game currently.

Hopefully goes up soon. I might cave and get it from JP or HK store.

I think I'm going to go the HK route. Spending $30-$40 more just to play the game 6 hours (at this point) earlier isn't worth it. I can justify spending $70 for the HK version though.

Shame you can't preload for HK PSN

 

[demonkaze]

Can I find this on the JP store yet?

 

[BRSxIgnition]

I wonder how long downloading from the HK PSN will take... I'm in Canada if that helps?

Downloading from anywhere takes the same amount of time

Cool, I wasn't sure if they used different servers or anything, or if proximity would affect it.

Thanks.

Seems the rpg aspects are a lot bigger then in the first nier going by all the different upgrade possibilitys

Please tell me you can unlock more weapon skills, ill die.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Sorry if old, but something caught me by surprise, the most recent trailer broke 2.5 million views on the S-E JP channel. Holy mother of Taro.

[MikeDown]

Might possibly cave and buy the HK version, though I don't really want to go through the hassle of setting up a HK playstation account, also that Steam release. What to do GAF? Help me!

 

[Truant]

Does the asian version have full english support by any chance?

 

[jiggles]

Is there a reason people are choosing the HK version over the JP one? Does it have English menus, or is it just a price thing?

 

[Hektor]

Haven't seen skills for weapons yet but in a preview video a gamejourno said different combinations of weapons unlock uniqe skills.

Combat is fluid and fun, the game on hard is definitely challenging, there seems to be a lot of RPG to it, the soundtrack so far is amazing as expected, the world is meh to look at but i really like the verticallity of it, haven't seen much of the story yet, some Taro weirdness is definitely in but i don't wanna spoil, the framerate sometimes notciable drops when entering a new area, but is fine the rest o the time (base PS4)

Does the asian version have full english support by any chance?

English menus, english dub and english sub

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Yes, it does.

Only a price thing, HK is cheaper.

 

[BumRush]

This game is in the top 15 in "video games" on NA Amazon.com, and #1 on Amazon.jp, so it might actually sell pretty well!

 

[Experimenter]

Is there a reason people are choosing the HK version over the JP one? Does it have English menus, or is it just a price thing?

Price, the JP version is like 10USD more.

 

[Truant]

English menus, english dub and english sub

So basically, there's no reason to wait for the EU release?

 

[Novum_Veritas]

So basically, there's no reason to wait for the EU release?

Nope not really.

 

[Smo21]

Region locked dlc?

 

[FlyinJ]

Hmm... what is the price in Yen of the Japanese version?

It looks like Play Asia only gives out PSN cash codes digitally for HK cards? Looks like they have to ship you the JP ones?

 

[Samaritan]

It took me less than two minutes setting up an HK account, due to the ability to have all-English menus. Getting an HK PSN card from Play-Asia also only took a few moments.

Where's the best and quickest way to buy jp PSN cards? Had a bit of trouble with play-Asia last time I used them.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Well JPN cards are digital too there.

8424 Yen.

 

[Dangerous1992]

man how long do I have to wait..... i want to download it, cant play it anymore today, but let me load it please

The HK version is out in a few hours and it is cheaper, I think you should just wait until it is released..

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

God I feel kinda dirty getting this game early, but at the same time I don't think I can physically wait anymore. Who feels like a pile of shit with me!
