NieR Automata Cross-over event?

[EdwinLi]

What is that video game ? i dont know it :/

One of the best games of 2010 that did not get enough notice due to how small advertised it was. NieR was the last game the company Cavia ever made and was one of their greatest work. Sadly it did not save them from being closed down due to lack of funding. It is a miracle the game is even getting a sequel and SE even put effort to finding Taro Yoko to direct the game.

NieR series follows the Ending D of Drakengard 1.

NieR Automata, as the sequel to NieR, will be following Ending D and E as the canon ending.

Taro Yoko is such as sadist for going with the worst endings of the series.

At least Ending E made up for the bad ending that was Ending D in NieR and brought NieR back to life so he can return in Automata.

You can see some of the cast of characters in their new trailer

Among them are Devola, Popola, and Emil from NieR.

God, I loved Nier. The soundtrack still gives me the chills. I only started PLAYING it originally because of the soundtrack, but the story and the world totally suckered me in.

I haven't done a XIV event since...the one with the yukatas, I think, but I would actually get off my rear and log in for a Nier event, ESPECIALLY if it rewards Orchestrion rolls from the game's soundtrack.

Well that is the power of Platinum Games. When people see that name people "generally" expect it to be good like Bayonetta and MG Rising because they are great hack 'n' slash and fast paced games.

That is hardly the reason for people's love towards NieR Automata. The love for the game comes for the first game NieR.

It had great music, a great story, great replay value (with the game extended the story to see the "Antagonist" side of the story in New Game+ mode and new Endings for each new playthrough), a great twist that makes you question who is the real monster of this game, and one of last remaining old style RPG experience before the newer generation of fast pase action RPG took over.

The story for the first game was such a stab in the heart for people once they reach New game+ to see the antagonist's side of the story but it was such a good stab in the heart that you just could not stop wanting to see more. It is probably one of the best plot twist and backstab to players which is why the game story is considered so good. Certainly leaves the question "Who is the Monster now?" in your mind.

The first game certainly set the standards high for NieR Automata and Platinum will have to work with Yoko Taro to continue a series that people can expect to have a twisted story like the first game.

They should co-develop FFXVI with Platinum. Gonna be great.

It could be. But I hope for Ito to be the head of XVI, the head in FFVI, IX, and XII, and creator of ATB. The first true open world single player FF in the style of XI or VI with a job system, crafting, and interesting battle system.

My favorite SE dev.

Nier probably has one of the best JRPG soundtracks. Here are couple of my favourites.

Song of the Ancients Fate

Shadowlord

Emil Sacrifice

The other songs are great aswell, I recommend you all try listening to it, its realy good.

Well with Automata and Final Fantasy XV getting all sorts of back and forth collaboration, I don't see a reason to not have a Nier/Drakengard collab. Love the music, love the lore, love the outfits. Of course whatever event we get will need to be watered down. Yoko Taro does not mess around. If a rift opens with Angelus and Caim above saaay Cartenau, we can kiss half the cast goodbye.
But if we survive an Automata event Samurai need to get 2B's katana. And 2B Needs a Mi'qote outfit as DLC.
