Thank you for sharing that, rubberluffy.

The Waypoint spoilercast is great. I actually just ran across the We are Finally Podcast spoilercast which is pretty decent if you're desperate for NieR Automata discussion. It's not the best "podcast", but they do deep dive into the game more than any other podcast I've heard. Also, a fantastic podcast that discusses the game from a non games industry perspective is the most recent Anime News Network Podcast. If you have an aversion to anime, that podcast really doesn't bring anime up at all, but it does look at the game from a pop culture perspective versus a game culture perspective.

I'm kind of in wait mode for a lot of podcasts to get to the point where the main hosts have finished the game. The good news is, most of them have started it, so it's only a matter of time. Mentions of the game keep popping up in various gaming podcasts each week, and this is my internal reaction every time:

Yep! "Carrying the weight of the world" and "I'm only one girl" are very applicable themes in regards to that final ending. There's all sorts of fun stuff going on with that ending.

That'd also be in line with the Romeos and Juliets performance. :) The game does tend to suggest that love is the most destructive of emotions which I'm inclined to agree with. You'd think it's hate, but most hateful emotions are the result of the many forms of love.

Muahahaha! :) You have, like, a day to finish it before Persona 5! ;)

Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE is at the top of my current "weird" Japanese video games list. The Persona style combat in that game is better than P3 and P4.

@chippy180: There isn't any difference, and the track titles are all in English. Even the JP CD release has the track titles in both English and Japanese.

It's now available digitally on the US iTunes store and the US Amazon store.

@redyoshi: There are notes by the composer, director, game designer, and producer in Japanese. The lyrics to Weight of the World are in there in both Japanese and English. There are also two pieces of concept artwork that do not appear in the Black Box Edition art book. I'm ripping the CDs now, and all the tracks seem to have been tagged in English by someone in a database, so that's nice.

I can't believe how fast shipping is when ordering off Amazon Japan.
