Do you really want to know
11 out of 10 in my personal opinionBut who expected anything different?
Do you know if that Clemps vid has Automata spoilers? I have been waiting for the third part but I don't want Automata spoilers. These are really good. They do a good job of explaining the lore.
i doubt he's played the game to completion and even if he did this has been scripted and edited mostly before automata was out. This is also a Nier video so spoiling the sequel would not be wise.

I'm finding it to be on the same level of the original, and I'm not even past Route B yet.
I don't mean to be rude, but we get it - you don't like the new singer.
Many others here - myself included - have no issue with her, and find the music in Automata to stand beside the rest of Keiichi Okabe's best work.
There are no spoilers for NieR Automata in any of his NieR Analysis videos. He only goes as far as the trailers in this part.
He actually has completed
Ending E

Agreed. I've surprisingly found them pretty funny, too. His style isn't really my sense of humor but he's caught me off guard with a few of his jokes and I've burst out laughing.
EDIT: Will there be a spoiler-free ending guide available by the time this comes out in NA? I'm thinking something of what 999 had - it outlined the paths you had to take, spoiler free, which was great. Hoping for something similar with this game.

No offense taken, but he's asking how's the music, so i give my honest opinion! Maybe the way i written it sound too negative sure, but i still loved the music, no doubt about that
Thanks for the answers guys going to watch soon. When I first watched I thought is this some PewDiePie bullshit but Clemps is actually decently funny and he knows his stuff.

It's a stunner. It's more subtly powerful than the predecessor and there's even an in-game
jukebox to listen to it all on in one of the hub areas as you go along, unlocking more music to play on it.
In some ways it's fascinating how much they changed the sound in some tracks to fit these new settings and yet there's also familiarity with other tracks that sound like an extension of the first NieR. There's also way more music in this game than there ever was in the first game. It's a huge OST and one I can't see them even fitting it all on 3 discs with, which is what the soundtrack release will be. Anybody worried by any lack of Emi Evans doesn't need to be either, she sings loads of tracks, so do the other singers, since there's so much music to go around. I love it so far.

I can still beat him by hitting his back and going around the shield but just curious if there is something I can do to destroy it.

Bump for new page.
Updated the OP to include a new section:
Also, the Clemps playlist has been updated to include NieR Analysis Part 3. (47 Minutes!)
Updated the OP to include a new section:
Special Message from Square Enix
Upon completing the first story route in the game (Route A), players are presented with the above message from Square Enix. Remember to play through the entire game, everyone!
Also, the Clemps playlist has been updated to include NieR Analysis Part 3. (47 Minutes!)
So I tapped out of this thread around the time people started getting more endings, but the game is supposed to have arrived by the time I get home from work.
Are there any glitches or missable things I should worry about? Since I got physical I assume I'm safe from the "download whole game before playing" problem I saw before. Just checking if I missed any significant problems, I hope not I'm super hyped to start playing.

she is a kaine type. If you don't like Kaine you won't like A2. Rough and tumble is the name of the game
Wait, what? They said 9S.

I played A in Japanese but had trouble following the subtitles during combat. How's the English VA?
that's what i get for not reading correctly
What's so bad about 9S? He's just a....polite stand up android
On the same level as Nier 1, aka exceptional
Seriously, i take issue with people who actually dismiss the dub in this game as bad just cause its a dub , best dub in past 5 years for me. The actors actually emote properly and show proper tonal inflection. They get the script

Awesome to hear. I'll probably switch over for further playthroughs.
If you want to see a non spoiler view of the english voice acting, here's the release date trailer, which they intentionally set up with nothing but english voice acting. They knew they needed to get it right

The English VA for Eve deserves a medal. Dude goes fucking HAM.
I usually like playing games in JP when I get the chance, but there was too much audio going on during intense fights, so I went with English.
They did an amazing job with the dub. Normally I hate dubs, but this one is better than serviceable, which is the best I usually hope for in a dub, it's actually good.

See, I think he's an annoying, rude, obnoxious little brat. XD It kind of bugs me how much of the game he's tagging along with you for.

I can understand annoying and obnoxious, i thought Seere was pretty annoying in D1 as its all subjective, but rude? The exact opposite ^^

lmao you might wanna drop this game xD
It's the way he talks to the Bunker, especially
on his route
I don't hate him that much, but I think part of the reason you're saying that is what I'm currently working my way through now. I just wish, you know, he could be an end boss in one of the endings so that I could destroy him for good.
9S is great. He knows how to get shit done.

Yeeeees. Kaine and Zero would be proud that A2 is continuing their no-bullshit legacy.
To be fair Zero's personality is somewhat modified in the english dub to be more rough than the original Japanese dub, but i can see your point ^^

I've put another few hours in today I've been messing around with the chip plus fusing them and I have to say the music in this game is phenomenal.
I've barely even touched any of the quests I'm 5 hours in and have been exploring mostly. Though I'm wondering when do I get to unlock all of these locked chests?

I wanted to share a Nier video by one of my favorite dudes.
No spoilers, just parody.

(Vague answer, no explicit plot details)
You'll be able to do that as a part of a story-related event.

Thanks for the vague response, its been bugging me because I swear I've seen at least 15 of them up to now.
I just beat the game.
Man, I really loved it. I probably didn't invest as much into sidequests as I could have though, but with limited time and a bunch of other huge games coming out soon, I'm glad I finished it and didn't leave it on the backburner.
I'll be returning to it for sure, and maybe going back and playing other Yoko Taro games, as this was my first.
