I'll wait for the movie, when the book will be voiced by Morgan Freeman... or Tracy Morgan.

Isn't this the game with the hermaphrodite protagonist? Because  if it is, the 'nothing is as it seems' tagline takes on a whole new meaning..

Can somebody explain the Wiki to me? If I may quote it...
 
NIER is an upcoming Action-RPG game from Square-Enix which features combat, magic and a twisting storyline full of cliffhangers and spoilers.

Another failed upcoming game from Square-Enix I take it?  
..Is it just me or did Enix really just destroy every good idea that Squaresoft had out years ago?!  
I really really really hope FFXlll won't be anything like this. eh.

this is the mehist thing i have ever seen. ever. ever. EVER.
 
just looking at that flat grayish green "grass" floor texture is enough to make me think just how little effort the devs put in this game. It looks like a ps2 game, and probably is the most ps2-looking "current gen" game up to date. Normally if the art direction and design was good the technical stuff could easily be overlooked, but all this looks horribly generic and boring. every bit of it.
 
this is perhaps the only game that could beat quantum theory for mehness. by a couple million points.

You're right; I also remember hearing about that… if only in regards to the Japanese version(s), however.  Regardless, this footage is not at all promising.

@Brodehouse:  That was more of a dress but it was just as ridiculous then too. Well, maybe a little less so because at least Ada looked classy.

PS2(ish) graphics. I like fighting big monsters, but something's missing. I'll probably rent on Gamefly.... wait a second... hermaphrodites in this game... fuck that.
