Okay now im more interested in hearing about this than the previews
Kotaku loves the non combat aspects of the game and they find the quality of the world building and "extras" on par with Nier: Automata
This is my most anticipated Switch game of the year (with Luigi's Mansion close behind); can't wait for more footage 😃!
Music to my ears. I knew the combat would be fun, but was far less sold on everything around it. Very encouraging!
OP
OP
Hearing that parts of this game are on par with the extras/world building in Nier Automata makes me pretty damn excited considering Nier was so goddamn good.
The picture in the Kotaku article is hideous. I hope it at least runs decently, though I'm not expecting much out of PG on that front either.
I liked that too 😂. Song is kinda something I don't wanna listen to again, but I guess it works for whatever idea they wanted to show.
I think it's way more anime than toku, even without taking into account that it's not live action :P
I had to watch the first video on mute and the chracter models give me Xenoblade Chronicles X "vibes" for some reason.
Hoping the game itself is fun enough and runs well.

The op. it was so bad I didn't even want to watch the gameplay. Maybe later.
MY EYES.
Gah, we really need a Switch Pro, or devs need to reel back or something. The IQ on that screenshot is horrific.
It seems to have something to do with the selfie-screenshots. The rest of them aren't nearly as bad, but everything with that pose is rough. Like, how is this killing the system?
I once interviewed a translator during the Saturn/Dreamcast days who said the stress of working on some games led to his relationship falling apart.
The previews looked so good that a pre order took place, and knowing life was too short, and games are better than a partner anyway, the break up happened.
That my prediction 🤷♂️
Glanced through the article and I gotta say that I didn't expect investigation to be anywhere near as in-depth as what they are describing.
I thought it'd be running around following detective vision and doing the eavesropping thing here and there, before getting led to the next fight.
Like, dude.

There some games that you just know are going to be hits, and this is one of them.
i already have a sense that this will be an awesome game, severely held back by the "powerful" hardware that is the Nintendo Switch
This is basically Platinum Games using Nier Automata work experience and making an entirely new IP and concept with it, so yeah I'm confident that it can reach that goal. Shit its defacto a sleeper hit, the original reveal gave us the idea of a wholly different game from what we know now and people are still working with those impressions.
It's got some stiff competition with Fire Emblem for me. I'm very excited to play it though, but everything about these previews sounds excellent.
