“I’m begging to write a normal ad copy, but it’s too late” – developer NieR addressed players

The world premiere took place a few days ago NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139 … – Reissue of the classic RPG 2010 release. The project went on sale at Playstation 4, Xbox one and PC

On the occasion of the launch of the new product, users from all over the world were contacted Yoko Taro, creative director of the franchise NieR, and Yosuke Saito, one of the senior producers of the publishing house Square enix

Together, the developers thanked the fans for their interest in NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139 …, and also in a comical way shared their own impressions of the launch of the project on sale. Below you can see the full text of their messages.

“Hello everyone, writes Yoko Taro, Creative Director” NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139….

Let me remind you that our new game is an “improved version” of the original NieR, which was released 10 years ago. Everything is correct. Not a remake. Not a remaster. A “improved version”.

At the beginning of production, to be honest, I wanted to focus on the version with a remaster. The resolution there is a little higher and stuff like that. But then I wanted to fix some models a little, change the backdrops, and soon it all turned like a snowball into a bunch of individual changes and improvements.

Remember Square Enix recently released their Final Fantasy VII remake, huh? I looked at him and decided – it is better to avoid direct comparisons with such an expensive blockbuster. This is what prompted me to call Replicant ver.1.22…. just an “improved version”.

By the way, this large set of numbers in the title is absolutely random. I just wrote them. Do not bother yourself, in general.

Oh yes. One more point. Having worked at Square Enix for the past several years, I have a kind of tangible aura of infectious enthusiasm that haunts me. Some people say that NieR: Automata (my previous game) sold very well, which supposedly means that the new edition of NieR Replicant will face the same fate. And this is where I want to turn to the Square Enix manual. Please see reality without rose-colored glasses. These two games have a similar name, but they are completely different in content. It will be impossible to sell them in the same number of copies, do you understand?

Ultimately, this is my project. Automata’s success is one big coincidence. All of my other creations barely sold at all. So if you print a lot of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 … discs, throw them in some big dark warehouse, then the only thing they will do is play frisbee. Although, on the other hand, it sounds like quite good fun.

Right now, as I write this, there is a guy from Square Enix’s marketing department behind me. I literally drill the back of my head with a look, begging me to write a normal advertising text at least once. But it’s too late for that. Let’s just quit our job and just have a rest together. Replicant ver.1.22474487139 … is generally hard to get acquainted with. To understand what the game is about, you need to go through it several times. And journalists, with their busy schedules, are unlikely to succeed.

In short, there is a more interesting idea. How about getting home early today and saying a few nice words to your parents? This will obviously be much more useful, “- addressed the audience Yoko Taro.

“Hello everyone. For some I will write – have not seen each other for a long time! For everyone else, I am very glad to meet you! My name is Yosuke Saito, I am a senior producer at NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139….

Thanks to your tremendous support, NieR: Automata is a huge hit. Because of this, we worked on a new project with a lot of responsibility.

Yes, we really call the new release “an improved version”, but regardless of the words of Mr. Tarot, I am convinced that such a characteristic hardly reflects the amount of effort that we spent in the development of this game.

But yes, we have to admit that the success of Automata is a small miracle, it will hardly be possible to repeat it. However, be aware that if a certain sales milestone for NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 … is not passed, then Mr. Taro and I will have to get into a van and ride around the world, personally selling discs with this game. We’ll also take composer Okabe with us.

With the above in mind, please continue to support the NieR franchise!

You are welcome. Anything, just not to ride in a van … “, – said in the address of Yosuke Saito.
