Too late, haha. I already looked into the story years ago and its connections to Drakengard and Automata. I didn't really have the intentions to play Nier back then.

NieR is very much about the experience. I didn't get into the fandom until I read a Let's Play by thedarkid on LPArchive, and by then I knew everything about the game.

Whelp... Now I can add the White Snow to my Black Box.

Really stoked for one of my top 2 games of all time to be given this love.

nope
i think it's an issue with shipping
i bet it's trying to look up shipping options and they don't exist or aren't where they're meant to be
apparently if you add another item to the order it'll go through, probably becauese it can use that other item's shipping details

HOLY SHIT THIS WORKED

I added a FF TCG booster for 5 bucks and could order!

If you add something else to the cart it lets you finish checkout, I added some final fantasy cards for £5

Hot damn that box art looks stunning! Glad to hear both versions will have reversible covers, so whichever I end up with should be fine then.

I never got to play the original so I'm really excited for this. I don't know how its combat compares, but what they showed during the stream looked really good. Both melee and magic look awesome. I hope there's weapon switching though, would be a shame if we had to go into a menu like they did here every time. Speaking of the menu, I'm really digging it.

They charge 7-14 days before dispatch according to the FAQ, and you're able to cancel prior.

Now if they'd just let me order it...

Thanks. Possibly against better judgement I placed a pre-order and received confirmation.
I still can't get over how good the soundtrack is.
It really is incredible. A shame Automata's soundtrack isn't as memorable but you can't capture lighting in a bottle twice I suppose.

Just swagged the White Snow Edition from the U.K. SE store on PS4, just had to add a booster pack from their TCG to get the order through.

The unprompted brother nier hate is getting old, guys. Its literally the same character, except he doesn't look like shit and the story was properly written for someone his age.

Are all the girls in this game just going around in their panties? Maybe there is a secret reason that will make me ashamed of my words and deeds 🤔

No statues makes the CE a must own. That reorchestrated soundtrack hmm. Ordered, and we even get a steelbook, very nice. That'll make up for me missing on the Automata CE

This could look like shit and I would still get it. Thankfully, it looks awesome.

got my pre-order confirmation email so it looks like it all went through.

now apparently you can't change shipping address, which is insane considering it's many months out, so hopefully i remember i ordered this should i move flats before april.

I still listen to Nier Gestalt's soundtrack quite often. It's probably my favorite game OST of all time.

With all of the Nier news...I'm listening to it now.
It's without a doubt my favorite OST. Nier Automata was nice and all but nothing touched this soundtrack in my opinion.

I miss Papa Nier. I wish they would put an option to play as Papa instead.

Got mine in early! Not sure why the site's throwing a fit for some of you now, though.

I would've liked an art book, but the scripts are unique and it's a better deal than Automata's CE.

It's not too clear, does the PC version of the bundle pack only contain a game disc or will it have a download code for the game? I can't imagine too many people even have cd drives anymore... I don't at least.

It looked decent up until the gratuitous shot of a little girl flashing her underwear.

I think I'll pass. I don't want to be placed on a register.

Ok so i changed my mind and got the special edition.


Be aware they charge you right away (in UK at least) and that cash has actually been taken out of my available balance.

I read somewhere here that they don't charge you until march so that was a bit of a shock.
