NieR:Automata was featured in the May 5 issue of Famitsu Magazine, Issue No. 1429.
Not much new material is printed here that hasn’t already been covered since the concert, but here are a few interesting bits:
- When you look through the goggles, Yoko wants the screen to look more like an old game on the Famicom/Super Nintendo, but it hasn’t been approved yet.
- It was difficult for Yoshida to design the characters since their eyes needed to be hidden by their goggles.
- A2 and 2B share the same design, which is why they both have a mole in the same place. Simply, A2’s design looks more like an actual android (less human looking).
- It’s still a secret whether or not A2 will be a playable character.
- Yoko says that there will be vocals in all music tracks.
- Yoko apologizes for the difficulty getting tickets. He didn’t expect so many people were interested. He says that should they have another concert, they might be able to aim for 2,000 people. If there is a concert and 2,000 show up, he wants Taura to take off his shirt and let them oil him down on stage. ^^;;
