The protagonist and Kainé trap the Jack of Hearts in the basement of the library, only to find that Yonah has been kidnapped by the Shadowlord, accompanied by Grimoire Noir. Almost immediately, the village is swarmed by Shades led by the Jack of Hearts. Emil's butler, Sebastian, immediately pledges to translate the cipher, and the protagonist returns to his village.Īfter he gathers vapor moss to make medicine for Yonah, a battered Emil appears at the village's southern gate to warn them of an impending Shade attack. After defeating Grimoire Rubrum in the manor's study, they retrieve a page related to curing Emil's eyesight, which is written in an unreadable cipher. There, he meets the manor's owner Emil, a boy that petrifies anything he looks at. Beckoned by a letter later on, the protagonist travels to a manor in the Southern Plains. The party continue searching for the Sealed Verses in such places as the Forest of Myth, the Junk Heap, and even to far-flung places as the Barren Temple. Together, they defeat the Shade Hook, and Kainé agrees to join him in his quest. The protagonist travels to The Aerie, where he meets the scantily-clad and foul-mouthed swordswoman Kainé. ![]() After presenting the white book to Devola and Popola, he learns that Weiss might be able to cure the Black Scrawl and sets off on a quest to retrieve the Sealed Verses, which they believe will help cure Yonah. The game begins in the summer of 2053, where a young man fending off strange monsters at a supermarket in Tokyo finds his sister suddenly suffering from a black illness, afflicted upon her as a result of touching a black book.ġ,412 years later, a similar looking young man providing care for his sister Yonah, who is suffering from the Black Scrawl, encounters a powerful arcane tome named Grimoire Weiss. Okay, phew.The story is largely similar to that of NieR Replicant, also introducing new plot elements throughout taken from Grimoire Nier. Not nearly as frustrating as 2B but it can be scary the first few times it happens.ĭID I JUST BREAK MY IMPORT TOY? Wait, no. The hinges tend to work themselves apart as you use them. I feel like there should be more but Square Enix needs to keep working on the engineering a bit more. Great sculpt and paint, it feels like a sad robot that is just kind of there. Just not a fun play piece.īut Machine is awesome. That along with the kickass stand, ring, and Pod makes for a nice display piece. At least that was their plan as it’s absolutely unnecessary due to the hand being soft enough to open and place the hilt. The sword splits under guard to make putting it in her hand easier. ![]() Well I’ll be damned…I fully expect to read that comment on the video twenty or more times now.Īccessories are nice. I was just informed that the black dot below the lip is a birthmark. Can’t win them all.ĮDIT: Apparently you can. The dreamy face paint adds to the effect but there are a couple of black paint splotches on both of the heads I got. I’m not sure if there is some kind of layering technique on the lady chest parts of if it’s some kind of magic but the effect is awesome, along with the use of translucent plastic for the hair. Not a lot of paint but the design choices make up for it. Twice.Īnyway, yeah, the sculpt is really dynamic. And I even spelled it correctly without spellcheck. The shoulder have a hinge with a ball into the torso but it’s very hard to manipulate, especially with the torso wanting to constantly pop apart and the head peg slip out of the neck if you breathe too heavy.īut it’s an exquisite sculpt. But then the bicep is without a rotation point? Just odd. ![]() In her leg alone there are 6 swivel points. Mostly ball joints (or swivel/hinge/swivels) it’s too apt to turn limbs and parts at odd angles. Then her articulation scheme isn’t the easiest process. But then you start noticing head and hand and foot size and it kind of blows the proportions down to a smaller scale. ![]() Sure, superhero lines like Marvel Legends skew large, and even the SHF Widow towers over 2B, but the Black Series Leia lines up pretty well with her. The box touts 6-inch scale but the figure seems really, really tiny. She’s looks like a good representation of the character but the figure definitely has it’s problems.įirst is scale, which I find myself waffling on since shooting the video review. I say most because from a play perspective I find myself drifting over to Machine and even Pod more than 2B. And for the most part, these are good toys.
