Producer Saito Yosuke and 2B voice actress Ishikawa Yui attended the NieR:Automata live presentation at Taipei Game Show 2017. The NieR:Automata presentation only lasted for 30 minutes, but we were able to see a couple new things of interest. If you missed the broadcast, you can view it below:

And here are a couple of my notes that I took during the presentation:

Presents would be given to those who managed to clear the Very Hard mode of the demo at the game show.

Ishikawa Yui plays the demo on Easy mode to demonstrate that even those who are not very good at action games can pick this up without any problem.

You are able to further customize various aspects of the Auto mode with L2.

There aren’t may RPG aspects in the demo because they want you to experience that in the actual game.

Events will happen seamlessly throughout the game.

There will also be a traditional Chinese version of the game ( 繁体字版 )

) Yui says that during recording, she was asked to deliver lines more emotionlessly since the YoRHa androids are not allowed to express emotion.

Saito was both very shocked yet extremely pleased to see so much fanart.

The presentation on stage was only 30 minutes, so the time went by very quickly. He mentioned that the planned to show off more of these new areas at the booth.

NEW AREAS

The Amusement Park:

Fireworks shoot into the sky almost constantly.

Once you enter through the gate, you will be in the “amusement park” stage.

This area will have different types of enemies, but since this area is related to the story, not much could be discussed.

Department Ruins:

This area had been shown in previous concept art.

Land of Forests (森の国)

Within the Department Ruins is a shutter that is closed. At some point in the game, however, you will gain access to something that will open this path, allowing you into the Land of Forests.

The image of the Land of Forests appears to be yet another abandoned city with two large skyscrapers in the center.
