The official NieR Twitter account just put up a poll to ask who would be interested in going to a screening event to watch the recent NieR: Orchestra Concert on the big screen!

Of course, this is potentially a Japan-only event, but if you’re interested, please participate in the poll.

These are the answers:

  1. I want to go very much!
  2. I want to go!
  3. I don’t really want to go.
  4. If I have no other plans that day, I’d like to go.

Also, the blu-Ray of the NieR:Orchestra Concert will be released on February 27, a week after the GOTY release of NieR:Automata!

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).

  • Okabe Keiichi (Composer)
  • Taura Takahisa (Game Designer, Platinum Games)

※ 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.

Pre-order your hardcover copy of the English localized release of the NieR:Automata World Guide on Amazon for $35.99! To be released on May 7, 2019! (Click the image above to view the product page on Amazon!)

Anyway, here’s to hoping that Dark Horse Comics follows through with their “faithful localization”!

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.

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!
