Goes from forging, to combat, to searching, to dealing with NPC's. It's actually varied, there is a lot of fighting yes, but there is a lot of banter between the characters and searching around and deep story to go with it. I can't say more without spoiling things, but let's just say you have to change your mindset about combat between run through's, and things carry over. The way the plot evolves and the way your views about what's going on make the story addicting. It's like, well, a massive mind ****. It is very much an RPG/Action Adventure/Combat game.The premise sounds interesting, but it looks somewhat mindless hack and slash to me. What's the gameplay like?
Nice decision, won't regret it. Prepare for feels, and a mind blowing story. I'm into the 3rd part, and it's now preparing for a mind bending finish by appearances.As it turns out, there is a demo on PSN. I'm really not a fan of the 2D and top down sections, but other than that, I enjoyed the combat, the audio design and the way the character moves. Just feels really fluid. I played the demo with Japanese language, as the English dub didn't appear that good based on trailers. The voice actors sound decent, but the writing doesn't appear to lend itself well to English speech.
I made the leap and bought the game.

I kept it in English so I could take in the scenes better. The voice acting isn't that bad, some better than others, but 2B and 9S seem good in English.Are you playing it in Japanese or English? Which do you prefer?

Edit: Also, the game blows your mind by an unspoken freedom of choice. I'll leave it at that.

Like completed runs A-C? I'm taking a short breakSo I just beat the game (well achieved one of the many endings that's non-gag), and I'm pretty much speechless. This is probably the most unique game I've played in a while, and it was a craaazy ride.
If anyone is on-the-fence about this game, just get it. It's not just a spectacle fighter - there's like several game genres strung in, it's pretty ridiculous.
Just played through most of Bayonetta (another Platinum game) and really enjoyed it and am heavily considering picking up NIER Automata because of it. I did play the PS4 demo when it came out and really liked it so just might get it next month.
I finished ending C after 25 hours...and I have comments and a question to be answered... (spoiler contains comments regarding ending A-B-C-W...don't mind the W...that uh...yeah that's an embarrassing one :
A2's sacrifice saddens me, but she turned out to be a rather thoughtful character, she died a hero, and saved 9S' life even though he'd gone insane. My question is...am I done? I hit start game last night and it gave me the beginning. I closed the application (PS4) because I had to get to bed and I was drained from the almost 3 hours of tower and resource unit fighting. Is there still more? I feel like I haven't gotten the full end yet. The game ended, but at the same time it felt as if there was a swath of unanswered questions. Minor spoilers are okay for me, I just wanna know if I'm done yet or not.
There are five real endings in total, three of which are chosen in the very last moments of the 3rd playthrough. The endings change depending on which character you choose for the final fight, with 9S getting yet another choice of two options.
You can go back and see the other endings via chapter select.
They charge $15 for outfits in FF14 so I'm not surprised. Gonna get it, need to get money first.So the aforementioned DLC came out today... anyone have it?
Apparently the DLC on PC goes for $14... a little much for just a couple of costumes an an arena, but this is Squeenix
