Techno Buffalo's Ron writes: @Fame is certainly not getting to Square Enix’s head. That’s not to say that the company hasn’t always been popular, but you don’t secure exclusive rights to work on Marvel games without adding an extra bit of swagger in your steps. I recently praised the company for making all the right moves over the last few years in regards to setting itself up as a premiere developer of western AAA titles and finding a balance to still work on the classic kind of games we saw from the company in the 90s."

Stellar Blade's creative director, Hyung Tae Kim, has also claimed that the game is deeply inspired by Nier: Automata.
I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.
I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤
Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank
(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.
IGN: "We talk to Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim about the ways that Stellar Blade is inspired by NieR: Automata, comparisons between EVE and 2B, and much more."
Hope bravely third gets announced!
