There will be a special event held at the Square Enix Cafe STORIA to commemorate the 2nd Anniversary of the release of NieR:Automata plus the up-coming release of the GOTY version on February 23rd! The event will be held on Wednesday, February 20th at 8:00-10:00pm (JST).
Those in attendance will include:
- Saito Yosuke (Producer)
- Yoko Taro (Director)
- Okabe Keiichi (Composer)
- Taura Takahisa (Game Designer, Platinum Games)
- Yoshida Naoki (FFXIV Producer/Director)
※ A special guest(s) is also planned to be in attendance!
It looks like only 40 people will be able to attend the event live, but if you’re in the area, here’s the reservation form, although it looks like it may be a lottery drawing in the end (your asked to give your comments and questions regarding NieR (etc.) in the final textbox). The attendance fee is 2,500yen, which includes one drink plus a dinner meal.
So, here’s to good luck to everyone who tries to make a reservation, and more importantly, here’s to the 2nd Anniversary of NieR:Automata!

Dark Horse Comics Working with Square Enix on the NieR:Automata World Guide Localization
It was just announced by the official Dark Horse Comics Twitter account that they are working with Square Enix to make a “faithful localization” for the NieR:Automata World Guide.
It’s curious that they used this particular choice of words, implying that possibly other publishers were not able to produced likewise “faithful” localizations. Notice that they also specifically use the term “localization” as opposed to “translation”. Personally, I think it is vital to understand the difference between the two terms and to know which to choose depending on your target audience.
Anyway, here’s to hoping that Dark Horse Comics follows through with their “faithful localization”!
NieR:Automata Collaboration with Toji no Miko
Here is a quick look at the NieR:Automata collaboration gacha and other goodies available in the smartphone game “Toji no Miko”.
The videos are pretty basic and are really only meant to show off the collab BGM tracks from NieR:Automata, but maybe you’ll think it’s interesting.
- 刀使ノ巫女 刻みし一閃の燈火
- Toji no Miko: Kizamishi Issen no Toka
- Katana Maidens: Engrave a Flash of Light
- Short: TojiTomo
Support Characters – 2B, 9S, Devola
The following three images are the available support characters in this version of Toji no Miko. They are not necessarily playable characters, but you can equip them to use their special attack in battle.
In-game Demonstration – Featuring music from NieR:Automata
The following are a couple videos that I recorded from the game, mostly to demonstrate the BGM tracks from NieR:Automata, but you’re also able to take a look at the collab gacha and more!
YoRHa:Dark Apocalypse
Announced at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Paris, it was just announced that there will be a new NieR:Automata themed alliance raid penned by Yoko Taro.
According to PC Gamer, it is planned for the new Shadowbringers expansion of FFXIV! It is a raid that will encompass three teams of 24 members and is said to take place after the events of NieR:Automata.
The new FFXIV expansion will be helmed by SQEX Producer Saito Yosuke, who is affectionately nicknamed “Yosu-P,” and, of course, Yoko Taro. Very little about their individual roles has been stated at this time, but I believe Yoko will be penning the scenario for the YoRHa collaboration. This does not necessarily make him the director, which I believe will still remain in the hands of Yoshida Naoki (Yoshi-P), the FFXIV director and producer. More about their specific roles for this collaboration should become known in the coming weeks.
Yoko Taro has also been quoted from this pre-recorded video of him talking with Yosu-P.
Saito: What was the last Final Fantasy you played?
Yoko: The last Final Fantasy I played… FFXII.
Saito: Ah, you played FFXII?
Yoko: Yes, I did.
Saito: That’s pretty recent. I was thinking maybe it’d be around FFVI or so.
Yoko: But the Final Fantasy I played before XII was II.
Saito: (haha) So, I guess you don’t really like the series.
Yoko: I play it!
Saito: Sounds like you don’t really like it.
Yoko: I love Final Fantasy!
Yoko Taro is notorious for his chronic tongue-in-cheek comments, and him saying that the FF game he played before FFXII was II… just screams Yoko cheekiness to me. I don’t believe those are the only FF titles he’s played, so it might be better not to entirely take everything he says as 100% truth.
Very little of this is currently known, so additional details should become known later this year. The presenter suggested that they only have five more months to work on it, so they may be thinking of a release around July or August (I’m not sure if this would be released along with Shadowbringers or not, though). He also made the comment that just the look of this promotional illustration by Koda Kazuma makes it seem like a straight-up NieR:Automata sequel…
Lastly, the next Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival will be in Tokyo on the weekend of March 23-24. I would bet that we will hear much more details on this topic then.
