Nier Trailer Features An Epic Battle With A Mammoth Shade

Nier is shaping up to be a very intriguing action/RPG by Cavia and Square-Enix, and we're starting to see more in the way of footage as we inch closer to its April 27 US launch date .

The following is a new exclusive trailer featuring the main character, Nier, and the extra large foe known as a "Shade." It's absolutely massive and reminds us of the Colossi in Shadow of the Colossus or perhaps one of those huge city-size beasts in Resistance 2 . Nier valiantly battles this mammoth demon but eventually needs help from his partner, Kaine, who evidently finishes the beast with an epic downward slash from the skies. Remember, Nier is on a mission to find a a cure for the Black Scrawl, a disease that's rapidly engulfing the world and has even afflicted Nier's daughter. Here's the trailer:

If this interests you, make sure to check out the game's official site , which will continue to be updated over the next few months. The world is anxiously anticipating Final Fantasy XIII but Nier is a very different animal and might appeal to different people. We'll definitely keep you updated.

Im not short sighted, so i actually think this game looks okay.

Squeenix lost my vote on FFXIII, but they do have talent. Hence the reason why i WILL DEFFINATELY be buying FFvsXIII, KH3, possibly FFXV??? etc

I will add this to my watch list.
