It's in the OP...

That's a really nice OP.
But for those of us that haven't been following, why exactly are there two games if the West is only getting one? What's the deal with that? ARE they in fact different, or is it just a branding thing? Really been keeping myself in the dark about Nier(s).

Added info to the OP as well.

I don't think anyone expects this game to get good reviews.

They're mentioned in the op in the achievement section, but there's a total of
four. Ending D is the one that nukes your save files.

Fixed.

PS3 and 360 box arts share an almost identical width, not height.

Yeah...what the hell.

First i lol'd, then thought of the many friends that go for straight 100%'ng games
and would keep their save-files to later revisit the game
(not spoiler, but related to the reveal discussed). But really...wow.

I'm interested in the game merely for the lols and i had plenty with Drakengard, but as a game, and something that costs $, and everything else related to it, seeing such a title coming out, i actually hate it :lol

... That sounds awesome on paper,
not so much when it causes a new record in trade-ins.

Nier's gameplay looks far more fun and interesting than any other JRPG I've had the misfortune of playing this generation. I'll be buying this.

You two are trying to make my wait harder, aren't you?

Also, to anyone else who tried to go through the Nier threads for the vocalist's name, here you go.

A thanks to Sacha for that info.

I'm having an absolute blast with this game. Playing on hard and the combat really does keep you on your toes. Voice acting is surprisingly good as well. Some of the environments are quite striking.

And yeah, the soundtrack is possibly one of my favourites ever. The vocal tracks are beautiful.

The game officially comes out in Europe on Friday, so there's likely to be some early copies. The game is street-dated at a few retailers in NA, so you might luck out this weekend.

I'm in the UK and have the PS3 version (pre-order was sent a day early). It seems fine to me from a technical standpoint, but obviously I have no idea how it compares to the 360 version. Framerate dips when there's lots of effects going on but I've seen that in pretty much every video I've watched. No screen tearing at all.

I am currently fishing =D

hm im just wondering,anyone knows how this scene (where kaine kicks nier) will look like with barbarian nier?if its the same animation it would look a bit ridiculous

Don't worry, she can do it. :D


Edit : For the record, Keiichi Okabe didn't compose the soundtrack alone. He's the main composer, but he got help from Kakeru Ishihama and Keigo Hoashi (composers from his studio MoNACA) and some guy named Takafumi Nishimura of whom we know nothing about.

This enemy looks pretty badass. Kind of reminds me of Area 4's boss in Rez. I don't know how I could explain this game to my girlfriend, however.

The Eurogamer review has me interested.

Nier opens in a frozen, post-apocalyptic world, as an unnamed, grey-haired dad picks up a piece of debris to fend off the bizarre creatures threatening his daughter Yonah. It plays like an ultra-simplistic hack and slash, with seemingly endless waves of foes coming into being as our hero levels up every few swipes, unleashing powerful magic attacks alongside regular melee blows.
Click to expand...

A few laborious fetch-quests and a couple of large enemies later, and it appears we're in Monster Hunter territory for a while, until the game eventually settles into a rhythm of puzzle and combat-led dungeons and myriad minor side-quests that for the most part feels very Zelda.
Click to expand...

By two-thirds of the way through this twisted tale, you'll have experienced a bullet-hell boss, a rail-shooter sequence in a mine cart, and a fixed-camera exploration of a creepy, monochromatic mansion that screams Resident Evil.

Seems like the thread's title could be directed at the game itself. Doesn't sound like it knows what it wants to be but what it is sounds different.

It reads like it's the kind of game that screams mediocre all over it, but which i would still enjoy the hell out of, much more then most AAA title's. I'll just wait for a price drop or some positive user reviews.

We got our strategy guides in for the game today and I took a casual glance at the requirements for the endings and one of them is the most evil thing ever just for the fact that it
erases your save file after viewing it.
(not a story related spoiler, but one that could count as a surprise)

I expect the contents of that ending to be even more insane than Drakengard's Ending E. :lol :lol :lol

Wow. That's fucking stupid.
