Interview with Yoko Taro and Saito Yosuke by Hooked

This is a pretty amazing interview with both Yoko Taro and Saito Yosuke. The intro and outro are conducted in German, but the actual interview is in English.

The part that I found the most amazing, if not shocking, was the fact that 2B is *not* the same character as No2 that appears in the YoRHa stage play! *mindblown* But, I was starting to lean toward that since her character and some parts of her design didn’t seem to match up.

That being said, Yoko Taro is often known to say one thing and yet somehow contradict himself in the same sentence. It could be that this *is* the same character that has undergone some major changes to completely alter her mind/personality.

At any rate, I suppose it would be best to separate my own feelings for the YoRHa girls that appeared in the stage play from this new game that seems sooooooo heavily based on it.

Please stop reading here to avoid further speculation…

NieR: Automata – Paris Games Week

This is the page that I will continually update as more and more information is released at the Paris Games Week.

Official NieR: Automata Trailer -from Paris Games Week 2015-

Paris Games Week – Nier Automata Presentation, Part 1

Paris Games Week – Nier Automata Presentation, Part 2

Some things that we learn from the new trailer:

  • 2B’s weapons seem to float or seamlessly affix to her back without touching.
  • Battles are pretty dang fast-paced! Much like that of the original NieR!
  • There seems to be multiple attacks for each weapon type; katana vs. heavy sword.
  • The magic bullets of the original NieR make a comeback for you to dodge with all your might in battle!! This time around, they appear much brighter with a glowing, circular outline.
  • 2B is able to grab ahold of “Pod” for some awesome-looking aerial stunts!
  • Much like Weiss’ magic bullet attack in the original game, “Pod” appears to be able to do some attacking of its own!

I’m also in the process of uploading the interview with Yoko Taro and Saito Yosuke, but here are some things that we learned from them:

  • Emi Evans has *not* been confirmed yet.
  • 2B’s weapons appear to “float” just off of her back due to magnetism.
  • “Pod” will talk but not in a similar fashion to Weiss. Yoko Taro called it more of a “car navigation” sort of thing.
  • 2B can grab ahold of “Pod” in order to reach things and enemies normally out of range.
  • The Beastlord sword looks like it’s back!nier-automata-beastlord
