Nier Status Messages


One of the many things that makes Nier great are the PSN* status messages.  The terrible thing is one actually playing the game cannot see them.  I made it a habit to send my friends messages of their status so they could see it.  I then decided I should actually collect these for the greater good.  The messages are written from the point of view of Nier, and are almost entirely spoiler free. Without the context of what happens in the game, most of them will come off as amusing. Special Thanks to all of my PSN friends that played Nier enough for me to collect these.  They are presented in no order. I’ve tried to keep the unique punctuation as accurate as possible.

*-Don’t know if they also appear on the 360 version.

Suddenly in…the future? Or is it the past?…

Apparently I’m a freelance errand boy. Yippee.

A battle against chaos.  Whose in the right?

My daughter’s gone.  First the mutton now this.

Got a letter from the old lady…Am I being punished?

hmm…I wonder what the old lady’s man was like?

Those creatures are all over.  Still no sign of Yonah.

My daughter’s cursed.  Her body covered with black symbols…

Just defeated two iron knights.  Nothing’s easy.

So THAT’S the objective of the game.  Very clever.

Two brothers ask me to find their mom.  Hope she’s okay…

Villagers in a nightmare.  They’re tormenting me…

Underwear girl got lost in a haunted manor.  Great.

Found a boy with a blindfold playing piano.  Uh, yeah.

Ah gods, What a choice.  All paths lead to heartbreak…

Back to the strange cliffside village. Something’s up.

Trying out new weapons.  Hope machines don’t feel pain.

An unstable voice calls out in an unstable world.

Hunting for mutton.  Now that’s oddly MMOesque…

Taking on some crepuscular foes.  Go ahead look it up.

Time to visit the blindfolded kid at his creepy manor.

I don’t think anything could surprise me now.

…Okay that was surprising.

That…was a heck of a price to pay, wasn’t it…

Crossing the plains.  This is taking forever.

[SPOILER] is [SPOILER].  hmm…[SPOILER] [SPOILER] or [SPOILER].

My daughter’s sick and I’m kind of freaking out.

There she is!…How can she sleep at a time like this?

The junk heap is still humming.  I kind of wish it wasn’t.

Heading for the desert.  Better brush up on my sign language.

Back to the point of origin yet again.

Fighting a foe that refuses to give up the ghost.

Underwear Girl’s gone berserk.  This is bad.

All the answers I seek lie beyond this altar…

Back to the Nightmare Forest…Maybe someday I’ll understand.

I wonder what the surviving robots are thinking…

I need some leads.  Time to seek out some info.

Everyone’s friendly.  Too friendly.  I don’t trust them.

I knew that was coming.  How infuriating.

Having a nice peaceful chat.  It’s about time.

Echoing screams.  Streams of blood.  A love lost.

My daughter awaits in the last bastion of the enemy.

Into the Shadowlord’s castle.  What an incredible sight.

Heading back to where it all began.  I’ve come full circle.

Fighting an insane machine.  The whole world’s insane.

Taking on the final boss.  The journey’s almost over.

Off to pickup a new weapon.  Should make life a bit easier.

Shh…You’re scaring the FISH!
