ILCA P@pper Vol.05

According to the newest issue of ILCA P@pper (Vol.05), some sort of “Reality & Games” event will be announced soon. In very Yoko Taro fashion, information on this topic is quite cryptic at the moment, but hopefully we’ll have a clearer idea of what’s going on in the next issue of ILCA P@pper, however the exact release date has yet to be announced.

Might this have something to do with his “YoRHa” stage play? Nier 2? His “Thou Shalt Not Die” manga series? The questions outweigh the answers…

NieR New Project – Famitsu Staff Interview

A couple days ago, Famitsu released the online version of their staff interview with the developers behind the new NieR title. This interview was originally published in Issue No.1385 of Famitsu magazine, released on June 25. These are my notes that I took while reading the article.

NieR New Project: Dengeki Online Scans

You can also view these images in the DOD/NieR Image Gallery here.

NieR New Project (NieR: Automata)

I’ve been so busy, I have not had the time nor the energy to make an official post here about the recent news at E3 about a new NieR game. I’ve heard and seen people be very shocked at this news, but… I dunno. I sort of felt it coming for a while. Here are a couple things that made me wonder whether or not a new instalment in the series was coming:

  • Theatrhythm – Many songs from NieR appeared in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call.
  • Lord of Vermilion – The cards of Kaine and Emil/No7 were updated for LoV3.
  • YoRHa – Multiple songs from the NieR soundtrack were used in the YoRHa play.

I don’t really know whether or not these are clear indications pointing to a new NieR title, but the fact remains that NieR, although it’s been five years since its release, has been out there, reminding people that it exists.

So, anyway, about the latest news regarding the title from an article on Dengeki Online.
