qt grill as mc and actual advertisment

Automata was only meant to target 2 niches, Platinumfags and Drakengardfags. I don't think anyone expected it to blow up and sell past 1 million at the most, but between 2B's huge ass and the radical style afforded by actually having a team that could make his artistic vision a reality, it caught on.

Even if they pushed Nier 1 as hard as Automata, it would never have gotten the groundswell, because it looked like trash despite the great taste. Platinum knowing how to actually program and being willing to do anything, unlike Squeenix telling Yoko Taro no, let him create a visual spectacle with widespread appeal.

He put a character with a large butt in it, focused all marketing around said character in a time where it's okay to be an ironic weeaboo while normalfags are flooding this site, where they'd see it more.

Nier was niche, Automata wasn't.

Platinum

This
He also threatened to fire her design team if the ass wasn't literally perfect, so a lot of people put their absolute best into that ass

One game has you playing as a cute girl and the other as an ugly old man.

Oh right, I forgot, Platinum made it so it wasn't nearly as much of a slog as his previous games, even if it was incredibly bland, generic and repetitive.

>What the fuck went right?
The ass. It was fat.

This

A categorical example countering that sex doesn't sell.

>What the fuck went right?

i dunno lol

ass

Why post Granblue lizard for a Nier thread?

I didn't know that the game is repetive piece of shit.
So fun to play the same fucking game 3 times.

Too bad 2B couldn't save Gravity Rush 2.

Booty and Platinum Games gameplay (not their best, but way better than any other Yoko Taro game)

Same developer

Now imagine grinding to 100% to unlock the last ending in the first Drakengard while listening to one of the most painful OSTs known to man.

>Platinum knowing how to actually program
you must be joking. the game renders at 1600x900 irregardless of what you set the resolution setting to.

Literally blow yourself up

>actual advertisment
not even that, the fanbase was so struck back by the idea of a sequel that I think they did almost all the advertising FOR Square Enix

I bought 3 copies of this shit nigga

>3 times.
play the game

But that’s how you get the outfit though.

Word of mouth.
People say it's good, more people buy, more people say it's good etc...

The Heavy Armor Battle Suit with helmet is the patrician outfit of choice.

Prove me wrong.

Word of mouth+ decent game+ super hot protagonist. Sex sells.
