You can just wear whatever. That you're even thinking to ask this tells me you won't be the worst-dressed one there! Shower and wear clean clothes, and nobody will care what you're wearing.
Everyone here understands the need to dress for comfort in this weather--except for the guys who inexplicably wear cargo shorts everywhere in winter and somehow don't die.
Yeah, I'm going to be in full winter gear, but wearing my Nier Automata shirt I got from The Yetee from one of the GDQs a while back and bringing a 2B Mini-Plush haha. It's totally not a "black tie event" or anything like that. But some like to dress to the 9s (unexpected joke there) for things like this too, so just go with whatever is best for you :)
Incredible show. That Song of the Ancients rendition had me floored. Despite my love of Kingdom Hearts, I think this show topped it. Kind of wish they had more gameplay on the screen, and also sorely missed Birth of a Wish.
Sad the merch line was so crazy. I ended up ordering most of what I wanted on the Square Enix store lol
Seeing Taro was great.

How much were the t-shirt? Also is there a music listing of the concert now? Is there new music compared to the japanese concert (who had the same name)?
Going to see it in london next week

The mercy line was huge both before and after the concert. I'd say go early. Looks like the music boxes sold out fast.
The concert was great. I kind of wish I hadn't watched the bluray last year, but it was still 100% worth seeing it in person.
I missed out on VIP tickets - and I think I'm okay with not having spent twice as much just to break down crying in front of people I don't know, lol - but it turned out that during the concert we were seated directly behind Okabe and Saito with someone I'm pretty sure was Taro a few seats over, which was pretty cool. (Wish I had a "quick smile and nod" opportunity, but they ducked in and out pretty quick between songs.)
The merch line was staggering. Doors were an hour before the show (they actually let people in about ten minutes before then) and staff said there was already a huge line outside at that point. We got there about 7:25 and my GOAT sister took a bullet and missed the first few songs to stay in line and get our stuff, but it turned out the music box allotment for the night was long gone at that point. (The music boxes are up for preorder on the Square store, shipping next month, and they still have the arrangement box available as well. I'm not 100% on this so don't take my word on it, but it seemed like the tour shirt may have been the only "exclusive" not available online?)

Im really glad I bought 2 of those music boxes the last time I was in Japan (one for me and my brother), cuz there was no way i was standing in that line
How much was it and what music does it plays?
How about the tshirt price?
By intermission they sold out of everything except shirts, NieR Gestalt & Replicant OST, Distant Worlds OSTs, and A New World OSTs
I love Arnie Roth for pimping Distant Worlds at an unrelated show XD
I think ill pick a tshirt and the kaine music box! Hopefully i'll get one! Wonder when they will open in london
I still confuse about transportation to getting there... (｡>﹏<｡)
If anyone anywhere is able to get a men's XXL for me, I will gladly pay for your trouble. I couldn't get one last night at the show. Much appreciated. My Reddit post with the photo is a huge hit haha
I had to miss three songs but at least I got the exclusive t-shirt. Sadly I missed out on the music boxes but I pre-ordered them this morning from the SE Store. Listening to Emi Evans in person was what made it all worthwhile, and seeing Yoko Taro was just the cherry on top. <3
Yeah i think i'll pass, the melody is way too short and the box itself isn't really great looking! Thanks for the video
Going tonight in chicago. If you see a big blonde guy in a purple shirt with Emils face on it, that's probably me.
My gf will be wearing a YoRHa shirt

Wow. I hope some of the people buying merch last night had tickets for tonight, considering how much many of them missed. Some people were finally getting to their seats just before intermission! I could not believe the line zigzagging back and forth across the entire venue a couple times.
For anyone curious about the setlist, the first half of the show is Nier Gestalt/Replicant. And the post-intermission is Automata. I didn't know that going in. I thought it would mostly be the second game, with maybe an encore of Kaine.
The whole thing was great. I was happy to hear songs from both games. I like the original's OST a little better (maybe because of nostalgia), but the second game's songs lent themselves better to this particular orchestra, imo. Really good stuff, all around.
I had a great time at the Chicago concert! I'm thrilled to have been able to attend and I'm very happy the reception the orchestra, Yoko Taro, Emi Evans, Keiichi Okabe and Yosuke Saito was so great.
I was most moved by Emil's theme, Gods Bound By Rules, The Wretched Automatons and The Tower, though everything really helped me bask in how much I love the games.

Anyone at the Chicago concert know how long the show was?
Just wondering cause I'm travelling out of London as soon as the concert is over.

It started a little after 8pm, and I think it ran until about 10:45 or so.
I'd say it was a good two hours at least...
Edit: phone magic!
That's quite long, was expecting it to be slightly shorter due to the two in London starting at 3 and the other at 8, doesn't really give much time between them for the orchestra (or to get dinner between seeing the two shows lol).
So the doors were an hour before the actual show? So if it says it starts at 3 should aim to be there around 2?
Seeing all the posts about the Chicago here is only making me excited for the Bangkok show. It doesn't help that the show is apparently long (2-3 hours? 0_0). So excited to hear Emi Evans sing! I might actually end up crying watching the concert.
Hopefully because the Bangkok shows aren't sold out yet, the demand for merchandise won't be that high so the lines won't be as crazy. Praying to get the t-shirt, at least! (Speaking of, does anyone know how it looks like?)

They're out of music boxes but I snagged a shirt and Replicant/Gestalt cd that I've never gotten around to getting
