Please someone tell me it's a dumb idea to buy the game and do the NZ trick on my XsX early. (It plays the same on ps5/XSX right?)

If i've never played Automata, does it make sense to play Replicant first? I know the OP says they're pretty self-contained, but since this is a remake of an earlier game, is it more stripped down/basic in a way that would make it flow a bit better to go from Replicant to Automata?

It's a remake of the game Automata was a sequel to where that game's story was impacted by the events that occur in Replicant.

I played this years ago when it was released on PS3 and the gameplay was pretty awful. I still loved the game. Then Nier Automata comes out last gen and it was one of my top 5 games of the generation. I'm so glad we are getting a remaster. I have it preloaded and ready to go. Really looking forward to jumping in tonight.

Anyone else having the dilemma on getting this for PS4 (via PS5) or PC? The port doesn't sound amazing but I still can't decide. I assume the PS4 version is pretty barebones too...

Pre-ordered and ready for tomorrow. Nier at 60fps, I can't believe it actually happened.

I would absolutely play this first.

Can't say how the PS4 version operates, but you can't roll the clock forward on PS5 to cheat the flower cultivation minigame. I tried every trick I could think of while offline and near as I can tell, NieR pulls your time from another clock entirely. Maybe CMOS?

Are there any alternate costumes or outfits for certain playable characters? Some that aren't as revealing?

hmmm

To be 2B or not to be 2B

That is the question we will be asking when we download the costumes

Is the combat similar to automata?

I remember playing the automata demo and not liking it, which surprised me as i like P* gameplay.

I thought it was slow and dull, but people keep raving about this and this update says it has enhanced combat and other things.

I am desperate to play something new since im in curfew lol. Will this game help with that?

Got my PS4 copy today and played it for 3 1/2 hours just now. Really enjoying it so far.

The combat will still not be very good, combat isn't really the appeal of Nier

Waitiing for GMG to send me my key. I played the game a long time ago. It's going to be good to replay it again at 60fps.

Wow, the White Snow edition is way bigger than I thought it'd be (i.e. I thought it'd be smaller b/c it's didn't have a figure).

Played about an hour and I'm remembering more (initially anyway) than I was expecting to after 11 years. Looks great at 60fps.

Does best buy allow returns for another version of the game? I bought it for my series X but if it's 900p I'm taking it back and swapping it for the ps4 version.

Are some of the sidequests infinite repeateable? Got one to bring some Mutton to a Lady for 1500G, and could turn it in multiple times.

There's some delivery quests you can fail and are able to repeat, but each repeat reduces your reward.

Any needed for alt endings?

You need all weapons to unlock C and D, unless they changed it (I doubt it), and some sidequests give weapons, but there's a shop that lets you buy them if you missed the quests, but obviously doing the sidequest saves time on trying to get money to buy them.

If its out in Japan right now could we use a VPN to unlock and download it on PS5?
