Black Box Edition | Fire Sanctuary

This is my translation the October 24 blog update on the official NieR:Automata site.
The photos and original content is from there.

Good evening, everyone. This is the PR Manager for NieR:Automata. Delving further into the Black Box Edition, the next thing we’re going to show you is the 2B figure with some cool photos.

NieR:Automata Character Figure – YoRHa No2 Type B

In order to reproduce that hidden coolness within her great battle strength, an extensive amount of attention went into the details of the figure, such as the expression and color of the face, the color of the “beauty marks” and embroidery finishing, the feeling of rust on the enemy’s head just to name a few points. We’d really love for you to see these details up close, in your own hands.

We also wanted the box for the figure to look a certain way. As you can see, it has a special emblem on the front along with the same embroidery from 2B’s skirt along the bottom.

Next, we’ll take a closer look at the artbook! Stay tuned!

Good evening, everyone. I’m the PR Director for NieR:Automata. We wanted to show you more about the NieR:Automata Black Box Edition, so we’ll be bringing you more detailed information in five separate parts.

Even though we’re still taking orders, it is a limited release, so if you feel like it’s something that you MUST HAVE, please try to get your orders in as soon as possible!

So, to kick this post off, here’s a little comment from the producer, Saito Yosuke:

Thanks to everyone, we’ve received a huuuuuuuuuuuge number of pre-orders! That being said, we’re still taking orders!! There will come a time when we need to close pre-orders, so please use this chance to make your order now! You won’t regret it!

ー Saito Yosuke, NieR:Automata Producer

I’m the PR director, working under Director Yoko and Producer Saito to push forward the overall design, so here’s one of the things that, like Saito mentioned earlier, you will not regret: The Outer Box.

Just as the name suggests, it’s a jet black box with nice silk prints of the emblem and title—it really radiates a sense of quality. Just taking a look at the outside of the box, it’s difficult to imagine what could possibly be inside, right……?

Close up, you can actually see the thickness of the print.

The same black paper was used for the inside of the box. If we had used black ink on white paper, the text would bleed through, so…

We set the box in the staff cafeteria, and boy, does it seem like an ominous object……

So, anyway, that’s our introduction of the outer box. Next up we’ll show you more of the figure! Stay tuned!
