No matter if she's Nier or far, I'll always keep 2B in my heart!
Let's have an Automata thread.
but she has a penis
blind youmu a cute
2B a cute. Cute!
>>341891193
she doesnt , but im okay if she had one
>>341891193
Yes, and?
>>341891193
—The outlining silhouette of the android character appears female. Would this be accurate to say?
Saito: Yes…… She’s a female-type model android.
Yoko: It’s a secret.
Saito: (haha). Speaking of which, some have been suggesting that she might be a hermaphrodite.
Yoko: It’s a secret (haha).
>(haha)
is there r34 of this already?
>white hair
>wears all black
>blindfold
>giant katana
This character design is like something an edgy teen came up with.
what if 2B is actually a traitor?
>>341892073
>>341892307
i rather want a decent fan art of her(him)
>>341892307
ofcourse. but why even look at r34 when you can look at yoshidas tasteful concept THIGH art.
>Saito: I talked with Akihiko Yoshida about the design, asking him to “create something that people would enjoy cosplaying.” In retrospect, I think he really enjoys creating characters that show off a bit of thigh.
>>341891428
it could be retractable or detachable
>>341893182
or she tucked.
>>341891428
Pretty sure kaine never had a bulge
why does a combat droid have boob window?
>>341892721
>character design created with cosplayers as the most important aspect
literally fucking why
>>341892721
Unf. Too bad she doesn't look like that in-game.
>>341893663
>implying they aren't just simplifying it for interviews
I'm sure there were a ton of ticks yoshida had to hit, and at the same time had free reigns.
it's not like this is even something saito has 100% authority on.
>>341893383
She did, it was very hard to see though, but 2B doesn't.
>>341892073
Taro is just fucking with the crowd, Saito was about to say that she is a female model android, therefore genderless.
>>341893853
What's that on the top left?
>>341893551
because she's a repurposed fuckbot
>>341894108
>>341894332
Thanks.
I want to have intercourse with the opera robot.
>>341891193
I wish.
You fucks made me so hype for this game that I bought the first one and I'm playing through it right now.Thank you guys, it's pretty good so far
Is Grimoire Nier worth importing? It seems the Google Doc doesn't have pictures or anything which is disappointing. Also aren't bits of it not yet translated or translated from Chinese sources for some reason? I'm learning Japanese and while I don't think I'm at a level where I could read it easily, I do think I could work through it with a dictionary just fine. It's not like I won't have time to get better and understand it more clearly before Automata comes out anyway.
>>341894147
the dress though?
>>341894527
play new game plus or die.
>>341895103
as I said: repurposed
>>341895383
why not just remove the dress though? surely it just weighs her down
>>341890953
I want to hold hands with Toobie.
>>341896143
you can remove the dress in game
>>341894565
Its not that expensive, Ive been thinking about getting myself next paycheck. I say go for it especially since you are learning japanese, it will help down the line.
>>341891193
Man, I hope not. I'll be pissed if futafags ruin blind Youmu too.
Sexist game wont even hit 100k sales
>>341896514
>Sexist
?
>>341896514
shut your whore mouth senpai.
>>341894565
I imported a used copy, to bad its not a hardcover.
>>341896514
You what now senpai? In what way is this game sexist?
>>341896420
Cool. I don't usually buy art books and stuff but this seems to have some good story content and I'm sure the art is very nice as well.
Which makes me wonder, what sort of stuff will be in the Automata CE?
>>341896514
>>341891392
>>341891410
Is 2B a dork too?
I saw someone say weapon stories were confirmed. Is that true?
>>341896514
>Nier sold almost 1 million copies according to vgchartz
How
>>341896514
it would sell a shitload more if theyported it
>>341897260
1 Million is not that much
>>341897234
like dark souls?
>>341892342
No, it's the design of an absolutely based and glorious individual with perfect tastes
>>341897304I would love PC version because I don't like buying console for one game, but lets not start shitposts.
>>341897486
Compared to what? For a project of Nier's scale and budget, it's reasonable. It's as much the more successful Tales or Personas, which are both long running franchises.
>>341896514
Go ahead and tell us in what way is this game sexist, I want to laugh.
>>341893663
Many reasons, it's someones hobby and you encourage them to dress like your character and/or challenge themselves.
And less altruistic, free advertising for your product. Someone makes a cosplay of your character, photos get taken, they spread, people get curious.
And the goal I strive for:I want girls to dress up lewd willingly.
>>341896818
You got a sauce for this?
>>341897963
Yes
>>341897234
Yes, weapon stories will in the game. Can't wait.
>>341893663
it's hot
>>341897543consoles suck
>>341898079
I found it
Time to post all my 2B's
>>341893663
It's smart when you think about it. Creating your designs so normal people would want to wear it forces you to making it simple, good looking and not overly cringy.
>>341898625
Holy shit s9 is cute
Why do they wear the blindfolds?
>Nier—the previous title—was more of a minor title; a dark title, born in the dark, that has been quietly loved by people with unusual taste. When you see it transformed into something gorgeous in the hands of Platinum Games, you might be a little wary. I feel that way too.
—Yoko Taro
>>341898957
They're combat visors apparently.
>>341898957
they'll turn everything to stone if not probably
>>341892342
Or a madman.
All Taro told Yoshida about the design:
>They wear all black. They wear blindfolds they will not take off. And it should be fun to cosplay.
The all-black is 100% Taro. You just know he has a nutjob reason
>>341898957
they have vaginas instead of eyes, when they repurposed them from fuckbots to battlebots they didn't have enough time/resources to give them eyes so they just blindfolded them
>>341898957
So they don't see truth.
PC PORT WHEN?
>>341898957
So you can't see thatthey have the same red eyes as all the enemy robots
I'm so sure of this. I feel like this game is not going to successfully ruse me, I've got my fingertips brushing around the outline of all the plot twists. I feel like it won't take much more pre-release reveal to hammer home a very clear conception of what the game's story is going to be.
are spears going to be better than everything else again
>>341898234
>tfw want to crossplay 2B
>>341899442
Do you hate fun? Why would yu do that to yourself instead of doing it when you are actually playing the game?

The gameplay is beyond frustrating though

Just get to the half way point and buy the phoenix spear then just breeze through the rest of the game.
>>341900358
Really?
>>341899893
A2 isn't a YorHa, she's a precursor to them.
That's what I'm saying; as the robot army got larger and larger, it became less and less worthwhile to evoke human resemblance; 2B and 9S are interstitial entries in the series, between something like A2 and something like the basic enemy cannon fodder.
Note, for instance, that the Opera boss appears to be another evolutionary step in this process of simplification, between something like Toobie and an enemy grunt.
Taro has said the game has a "happy ending"; my money is onall of the main characters are slaughtered, and humanity is finally free to retake the Earth

I like that mole
>>341900910
The latter
>>341900746
Or you know, haven't played the first game.
There are far better patterns in Nier than in that. I'm sure platinum will deliver with some crazier patterns further in the game though.
>>341896514
Did you mean "sexiest?"
I agree.
>>341900996
It is the halfway point.
>>341900994
I was in the threads yesterday, and nobody said it was hard as shit there, either. I remember I made a comment about how it gets harder (such as in the final boss fight for NieR), but nobody said it was impossibly difficult.
>>341900994

Don't even start that shit, i've been in Nier threads since 2008. People that say it was hard are the real newfags. Stop trying to fit in

Fuck this shit
>>341901227
there is no shmup that requires more skill and planning than touhou
no, mushihimesama isnt even close
I kinda wish Taro didnt wank so much about the "happy ending" since thats just a reaction to dweebs who think his games are the most depressing thing ever.
Drakengard 1 is practically a comedy and Nier on its own isnt even that bad. It's only depressing to people who want to have their cake and eat it too, which is exactly the type of person he likes to fuck with in his games.
>>341900267
>>341900358
It doesn't matter. It was developed at Platinum Games, by Platinum Games, and their house engine is readily capable of Windows packaging.
They've said a number of times that they develop all their games on PC (from Vanquish going forward, owing to the trainwreck they dealt with wrt Bayo's outsourced PS3 port) and then port them to the devkits for the final round of polish and optimization.
They've also said, a whole bunch, that the only reason a Platinum Game is a console exclusive is because it is up to the publisher in question what platforms the game is released on.
So the issue is simply "does Square Enix want to see Nier on PC"? Given the extremely low cost of porting (it would take Plat very little time since the engine is already PC-based) and Squeenix's non-aversion to PC releases, especially when they come cheap (such as multiplats or games built in an engine/framework that supports PC fully), it really comes down to:
Do they have some sort of financial arrangement with Sony that will keep Nier on PS4?
Sony didn't publish it, and the game isn't getting a lot of "Only on PS4" branding... But they DID showcase the game during, for instance, PlayStation Underground, and I think Squeenix is smart enough to see that Sony is going to provide some free marketing for this game as their own console's answer to Scalebound (simply because both are Plat).
I imagine it will hit PS4 and then a year or two down the line, when those sales have dried up, a PC port will come to capture more sales interest and potentially double-dip on PC/PS4 players who wanted it on PC but caved and grabbed it for PS4 instead.
Moral of the story is, it will very probably get a PC release, but it almost certainly won't be soon.
>>341899043
Bless this man.
>>341901169
>NieR threads since 2008
Yeah, I'm sure buddy
>>341900542
A2 is the original No.2 from the 14th war.
Basically send on a pointless suicide mission to feel like shit and die, so they can use her data to make new more human like models. No.2 is the only one who survives but with a badly damaged
frame and ultimately removes her goggles.
A2 because No.2 was an Attacker type, like 2B is a batteler and 9S a scanner.
>it became less and less worthwhile to evoke human resemblance
the complete opposite is true, their mission failed because they had human emotions.
Yet for some unknown reason they are stll sacrificed to make future models more and more human like.

No, it's the Beastlord from Nier.
The Fume Ultra looks a lot rougher, doesn't have a giant lion face, and isn't from this series.
>>341902036
>You will never do maintenance in 2B
>>341900676
I dislike this song. It sounds little to disneyish for me.
>>341893663
I don't think you understand how obsessive the slant-eyes are about cosplaying, and how much free advertisement it brings the companies.
Will I need to read up on YorHa or is it set before that?
>>341897993
How would you avoid that aerial one without dodge spamming?
>>341901449
not even squares own store has the "only playstation" logo on it https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/291360/nier-automata-ps4
>>341903275
It's set after it, technically, but YorHa is not expressly this game. It does, however, take a lot of influence from the stage play.
The stage play ends with 2B as the lone survivor, having to kill everything
>>341897304
No it would not.
>Create a rich open world, crafted with the closest attention to detail, and populated with a diverse cast of npc's and enemy types

I have to applaud you for your determination. Out of curiosity, have you played any of the other games Taro has produced?
>>341904594
its quality vs quantity and platinum picks quality
>>341904825
Nice source
>>341904049
To be fair it's not like that means much when it literally doesn't even have a cover.
>>341904594
You're full of shit, my dad works at playstation and he told me the game is at least 100 hours long.
>>341901627
to be fair there's been pretty common threads about it since 2011.
>>341904594
havent played the first one yet but i think if they do it better than fuckin MGR at least i wouldnt mind 5 hours. I mean a good number of bosses and enemy types to compensate for shortness and the ability to actually go to a bossfight from chapter select reeee
>>341904594
It will be at least 30 hours long.
>>341904594
https://boards.fireden.net/v/search/text/T-Thanks%2C%20Platinum/
bruh
>>341904594
5 hours?
so considering that it will have 3-7 endings that all are MUST HAVES to get the full experience, getting to the first ending must take like an hour!
Also, I pity the fools that think of this as a platinum project instead of a Yoko Taro project.

No I have another source that I won't disclose, and they said the game would have 13 endings.:^)
>>341906013
3-7. three to seven. of course, it's still a bullshit number, but his games have generally had 4 or 5 endings.

Why is Drakengard 2 more expensive on eBay than the first game? Were there less copies printed or something?
Also why the hell was it published by Ubisoft and not Square Enix themselves?
>>341906578
Not to mention that it's filled with assumptions.
>>341907072
>>341904934
I'd prefer both. I'm gussing around 15 hours. nier was mostly boring filler right?

Who would win in a fight between Bayonetta, 2B, Dante and Raiden?
Happy ending?
>>341908452
Dante
>>341908063
roommate's got an xbone, and wouldn't you know it, it's not been selected for backwards compat
very unfortunate
>>341908448
it's stupid; ninety percent of the titles are multiplats, so whether you're using it on ps3,4, or vita, there's a decent chance the game's already available for the system.
i'd use it if i could play niche titles
>>341900318
Oh my god I can't wait to hear the entire soundtrack of this game
>>341908452
Dante would win, but he would also save 2B and make bayonetta his concubine.
Raiden would, no hate, be by far the weakest entity in this showdown.
we don't know much about b2 though.
Additionally Dante would beat OPM, Goku and Superman at the same time in all their strongest incarnations.
>>341908435
Fuck it I'll find it myself
Will the fuckboy follow us trough the entire game?
>>341902294

>>341908652

>>341900676
why is she singing in english though?
>>341908956
>you can play as the fuckboi
only in certain parts, à la drakengard
>>341909114
no, from what I've heard, you can play through the entire game as either, with different results. might play into the NG+ elements
>>341908818
Probably a decent amount, at least.
I don't hate him so far, but the AI doesn't look very good.
>>341909320
it doesn't really need to be good. he's probably mostly there for dialogue, like in nier 1
Do I need to play the Dragon Dragoon series as well as the original Nier to play this one? I already own Neir, but have yet to start it because Idk about whether to start a "series" at the third game.
>>341909439
True.
At the very least, it looks much better than the disciples in DOD3.
More importantly, who'd win in a fight between Nier, Nowe(kek!), Caim, and Zero?
>>341909204
You heard wrong. It was said it's only in specific parts as recently as the E3 interview two days ago.
>>341908452
Dante would win even if they teamed up against him.
We don't know much about 2B, and while Raiden is one of the strongest entity in the MGS verse but that's not saying much when you bring the supernatural in the mix.
>>341909204
no, they specifically said that you play as him in certain parts in the game
>>341909617
No. You can play this game without playing the first Nier or the Drakengard games.
Though since you already have the first game, you may as well play it.
Do you guys think there will be any Platinum/Clover references? I don't know if there were any in Star Fox Zero so maybe they only do it in their own games. I hope there will be some but not anything that would feel out of place. Maybe a robot that resembles P-Star?
>>341891193
just kill yourself you and everyone like you
>>341909617
you don't need to play any of them. connections will probably be very obscure famalam. most people only realize the connection to drakengard if they read the manual. Yoko has even said that he's afraid fans will be angry at him for how loosely connected to nier it will be.
And nier is the SECOND game famalam, Drakengard 2 is an alternate timeline and it isn't even canon.
I'd recommend playing it though, it's great and you lose literally NOTHING by not playing drakengard.
>>341909679
I see, they must have changed/finalized their choices then.
>>341899758
It's going to be censored
>>341909769
They might reference okami, doubt they'll make any references to anything "cuhrazy". I really hope they don't do anything too out of place.

>it's great
Anon.. DoD is alot of neat things, but great is not one of them
>>341910032
it's not like it's going to be localised by nintendo treehouse, c'mon nigga.
>>341910189
I meant nier my fammest of lambs.
>>341910032
Drakengard / Nier is a tiny niche franchise, nobody will give enough of a fuck to censor it.
The only thing that got censored in DoD 3 was one five second gore scene.
>>341900845
kaine was a top. canon
>>341910256
Oh man, what would these games be like if they were localized by Nintendo?
>>341910341
Wasn't that "censored" in all versions for comedic effect? I haven't played it but I remember seeing that gag.
>>341910341
Wasn't that for comedy purposes?
>>341910341
anything with Platinum attached has some kinda significance.
>>341904594
I see you've given up trying to fool everyone to thinking it would be 30fps
By the way, if anyone wants all the Nier albums. Here they are

It was played up as a joke but I'm pretty sure it was originally meant to be uncensored
>>341910341
That wasn't actual censoring, that was a joke scene.
>>341909764
Best slut
>>341910495
maybe on /v/
>>341910579
Cool thanks anono.
>>341903712
I think they want you to dodge spam. The dodge mechanic looks Bloodborne slick, so I don't think they're too shy about putting you in a position to have to use it.
2B is cute !
>>341910672
The game was hella goofy during the first route, I'm pretty sure it was played for laughs.
>>341900328
damn this webm makes my dick so hard
i haven't wanted to get Cuhrazy in a game for a long time but all the gameplay shown of this game looks insanely fun throughout
>>341909676
Caim>Zero>Nier>Nowe
I honestly dunno, Nowe might beat Nier if we are purely talking objective, autistic guesses at powerlevels, but Nowe sucks.
>>341910541
It'll be 15 FPS like Star Fox on the SNES or something.
>>341910823
nice desu
>>341910823
That's an ass I can get behind.
>>341899442
That would be pretty damn cool if true.
>>341910951
I dunno. Caim would probably win if he had Angelus, but I feel like Zero would end up beating him.
I just hope they don't use the same ball projective for every enemy. That'd be visually pretty repetitive and uninteresting compared to the rest of the game
I can't get enough of the Boss fight trailer, how the boss flies down from the stage with the rocket boosters, it's so gaudy like the Boss really thinks it's a prima donna
>>341911369
Such lust for dragon
