That would fit into every possible ending without bringing up explicitly whether it was Brother Nier or Father Nier. I hope to be blessed by the unique stylings of Gaming Sith Lord Yoko Taro once again in this new game in the Drakenier series.

"Members of the media told me the original Nier is like a puppy someone threw out." - Yoko Taro http://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-nier-will-stay-weird-but-this-time-with-platin/1100-6428262/ Lots of words on the new game, showing they know what they are doing. They confirmed the story will be unrelated, but set in the same world. Three playable characters, the boy seen in trailer, the white haired girl and an unknown. They are taking the old battle system and platinum-izing it a bit, but likely removing some of the genre switching? MrAptronym fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Jun 17, 2015 |

quote:In addition to bringing on Platinum Games, developers revealed that the original composer for Nier, Keiichi Okabe, and FInal Fantasy XII and Bravely Default designer Akihiko Yoshida, are both working on the new Nier project. quote:"Please play on PlayStation 4," he said in response to a question about what Xbox players can expect.  quote:"Drakengard was my first game as director, and we were actually told a lot by our advisory board to do retakes and make changes and honestly, I said, screw this, I'm not making another one," Taro said. quote:"I thought, with Nier, I'm going to make a normal game. That's what I tried to make, a normal game, though people think it's very dark and somber. But for me, that's normal." quote:"But now we're working with Platinum games, and with Yoshida and Okabe, and we feel we have these great ingredients now. Is it going to be too perfect? We have all these great chefs, if you will, working together, and now, is it going to be missing that thing that made it so endearing to our fans? But after thinking about it, we think, we're just going to try it and see how it goes."

Yoko Taro is a man I would be both excited and scared to meet, and I would not do it near any high ledges.

I love that nobody expected or hoped for this in any way. Everybody thought gaming would be vacant of Taro's madness after Nier. And then Drakengard 3 happened, and we thought that's it, that's the crazy swan song. then a year later he stumbles in on us and says he roped in some top SE guys and PlatinumGames to make another nier  I just love that independent of anything else that goes on at Square-Enix, there's this one crazy dude making crazy-rear end games purely because he has good friends in the company.

Pretty sure Nier's weapon stories were separated from the game and left in the supplementary material.

Three Cookies posted:Nier died with my save file, and thus should never be mentioned in any way. That's why I only want them to "Hint" at him. Nothing explicit, never by name. Just some half-remembered, vague inferences. They could just not mention him, but with other cast members returning as side characters this seems like the best option to me. Has it been so long they forgot, or was there nothing to remember in the first place? It works with either ending choice and skirts around the fact that any direct reference would likely be to Brother Nier and not Father Nier.

 https://youtu.be/oKwMyu7WtWc?t=22761 More Nier chat at E3. The trailer as the same as before and they can't go into too much detail, but it still might interest you. Alternatively, watch Yoko Taro struggle to adjust to daily life in the Emil head and stick a straw up his nose. Kaislioc fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Jun 18, 2015 |

Its nice to see that the interviewer is a fan, a lot of the press reaction was "someone on staff keeps telling me to play that game." or "The mask guy". I too hope we can get an artbook/soundtrack out here. I won't miss a collector's edition like I did DoD3. They put forward a lot more info than I expected, also I had to laugh at Yoko saying the game will have a happy ending and the prodcer saying no, he has read the script and thinks not. Also that Yoko thinks Nier has a happy ending. I am pleased weird genre stuff will be making a return, but that they are making sure to make the game its own entity. Cringed at the producer's 'we have a ton of female fans, so we don't want to make the game too hard' though.
