They could do a lot better than some lazy ass colosseum, they already have a mode that lets you fight all kinds of stuff.
Ah I see. So that's one less possible reason for the stream.

That's old news though, maybe the situation has changed.
Dlc and enemy scaling patch pleaseeeeeee.
Just finished the whole game and doing a new file playthrough wich i do rarely after beating a game yes i got all major endings
This game is worthy up there with my uppermost favorite games/franchises: Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, Metroid and now Nier Automa is added to that number one spot along with these 4.

Cult-following auteurs generally don't equate to high sales because they are niche by nature
I would argue one million is pretty damn good for this kind of game and probably more than Square Enix anticipated. Definitely far more than any other Taro game has done.
I can't wait for the stream.
I feel kind of dirty having Persona 5 in my PS4 and not Nier Automata, but that will change once I complete the former. I'm actually kind of excited to go back to it and finish up all of the trophies (I refuse to buy them, I'll earn them the legit way). Maybe we'll have whatever is announced in this stream by then, too.

What if the elevators lead to an inverted world, similar to the castle in SOTN?
A WHOLE NEW GAME TO PLAY!

I hope we see Yoko Taro getting blasted with our money. He's earned it!
Yeah, 1 million for a sequel to a game released 7 years ago that never even sold half of that worldwide is pretty damn good. I'm hoping word of mouth carries it to cross the 2 million mark.

I'm not gonna throw out money for any DLC before Square bothers to fix or even acknowledge the issues they introduced with their latest patch. (Which was like 3 weeks ago now.)

What issues are those? Already finished the game a while back so haven't run into them.

Setting and hacking text breaks, framerate is a lot worse, camera does it's own thing sometimes, weird physics bugs that weren't there before, etc.

It's weird because not everyone is affected by this, and the text glitch seems to kinda come and go, but just looking at current LP's is enough to see that the issue is widespread enough, and so far Square completly fails to acknowledge any of this.

oh huh I've had that text bug in hacking since the last patch and assumed it was some kind of intentional Taro mindfuck.
You'd be surprised how many people think this, haha.

Nope, and while the framerate was never all that smooth, it might be worse for you than it was before too. And lots of other small glitches.

At this point I keep telling anyone who's on the fence about this game to keep their money in their pocket until Square at least acknowledges this, let alone fix it.

Huh i had that text when i first played the game thought it was normal, it was there when 2B is booting up after the intro. If that's a bug then that's hell of a perfect timing lol.

PC hacking found some DLC hints. Maybe not the whole lot that will appear, but this is stuff that will probably appear soon after the stream.

Thanks for reminding me. Should be an hour from now, right?
are you in Asian region? They will unlock it this month for Asian regions.
There are only two Nier games.
Hope I'm at least half way through Persona 5 by the time it unlocks!

I totally thought it was intentional until the game wanted me to adjust the settings, only then i understood it was a bug.
I even thought that they wanted me to play the first half hour of the game in English because of this.

Are we sure this isn't just an anti piracy flag? XML files of gamescript and fonts dont tend to just break randomly when you load them too many times.

Well it's the result of a patch that's only on the PS4 atm the PC version is clear of this right now.

lawd I've watched this trailer like 50 times
oh, just got the reference~
Yeah, I'm thinking the hair dye, new outfits, and the Colosseum (probably battle arena stuff) is the extent of it.
oh, just got the reference~
Yup, Malaysia. I suspect it will be quite pricey. The physical copy is almost the same price with PS4 version.

I like what you did right there.
Anyone that speaks Japanese be so kind to share the big announcements? I'm watching but I don't know what they are saying.
