I think reviewers will be more aware this time about the multiple endings. So I think we will see their impressions reflecting that.
So I'm looking at Zelda preview gameplay, and I realized one thing it shares in common with Nier is their approach with NPCs. In that they got voice acting for certain characters, namely the important ones, but everyone else just gets text, although Zelda goes a bit of an extra mile and gives them a little bit of grunts and what not. It's cool because I just realized it's such an obvious solution to being able to giving consumers the ability to talk to all the NPCs, as developers don't have to worry about doing voice acting for every single NPC (Because it's admittedly a lot of work); instead they just can focus on that for the more important ones.
Wish more games would do that, I don't think I'd ever not look forward to that.

Make sure it's the Japanese/English version you buy. There's a Japanese/English/Chinese/Korean version on the store that you can preorder and doesn't release until April.

Read the OP FAQ.
When does the embargo end? Do they go into any more detail than that?
Thank God they've covered their bases this time.

Just picked it up now from the HK psn because screw waiting nearly another 3 weeks for the EU release.
Yeah, just figured it out! For some reason the HK store is also selling a version with more languages that releases on the 27th. Downloading now!!
There are so many things happening in this game that put me legit in awe or put a big smile on my face in terms of action set pieces.
While there's a lot of typical open world combat and quests, the story mission feels paced and have a quality to them like you usually only know from extremely linear games.
If the story ends satisfying this is absolutely a game for the ages.
Only thing i have to complain about as of now is that the cast doesn't really come close to the one of the first NieR overall.
Tho there's still a lot of great banter between the characters nonetheless.

They said they fixed it in the latest patch, but just to be safe, don't launch it before the entire 48gb is finished downloading (see full download at notifications > downloads). You can run and play the game at just 10gb, but there was a game breaking glitch that bugged one of the starting main quests and you couldn't progress.

Without spoiling anything being knowledgeable of philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir can make some parts of this game even more interesting.
Or at the very least more amusing

Damn big story event just happened and looks like some side quests can't be completed anymore.
When the giant robot is in city ruins don't go to the mission.
Thar's the Platinum Seal of Quality i guess.

There will be more options to
desert
deserted
Anyways, later on something will happen at
the resistance camp. If you desert during that it will trigger an ending.

I might cave over the weekend and download the JP or HK version...
I wanted to wait until my BB got here but I can't stay away from the thread. I've been dodging spoils but still....

I cant download update 1.03, did someone manage to download it?

Earlier in the thread someone mentionned that rebooting his PS4 did the trick. I think it's pointing at the wrong location (get's a 404 error) but rebooting the PS4 makes you re-acquire the right server
That was very weird for me, it kept refusing to DL it, then it did but i cancelled it because i was mashing, and then i installed the DLC that I forgot to do and magically it installed the update too.

Just beat ending A and no spoilers, but man.
My absolute favorite thing about Yoko Taro and what makes playing through all his games so fulfilling, way more so than the lore or plot, is seeing him reflect and comment on his previous works. The guy can't help it. Playing through the Drakengard and Nier games you get to see his mind and philosophy constantly developing and evolving, and that willingness to think back to his previous work critically is both incredibly refreshing and essentially nonexistent elsewhere in gaming.
Basically I wanna give that weirdo a big ol' smooch

Thank you for the warning I will wait for it to be fully installed before touching it.
I had to restart my PS4 for it to work and towards the end of the download it gave me the error again and eventually restarted the DL itself to finish.
Never had that issue before in any game.

It's not just reflecting on his earlier works but also constant reflections on life and general philosophy. Very few games with similar budget feel like they have social commentary like this. At surface level it seems like a regular action videogame but deep down it's so so much more.

Well hopefully I can still get it. Sucks if I'm just locked out of it.

Shit Square Enixwhy are you forcing me to buy a Ps4 to play Automata.
Did this last night.
Here's an odd bug.
When I started the game before the full install finished, I went down to Earth for my first mission and 11B was in the hangar offering a quest to go find her memento. This was the same play through where the toolbox wasn't loading in.
So, I deleted my save and started over from scratch. At the same part I was at before, 11B is nowhere to be seen around the hangar.
Is that quest supposed to show up later on or am I going to miss out on 11B's quest?

The play--go system is broken, patch 1.03 fixes it I think but it may just prevent you from starting before 100% installed.

I know this isn't that important, but I received an email from the Square Enix Store telling me that I can order the Black Box Edition of NieR Automata again!!! I'm so happy! You don't know how sad I was when my order was cancelled due to an issue with my card that really shouldn't have happened. I was super super close to buying one from ebay or getting things piece by piece. I know some think it's too expensive for what it is but I'm just super glad that I managed to get another one again!
