【Dev Letter】Director Letter Vol.1 Summary

Please note that this is not a 1:1 translation, rather a summary, as there is too much to translate 1:1.

Greetings from Matsukawa, the director of NieR Re[in]carnation.

We would like to thank the players for helping the game achieve Top Sales no.1 ranking in the respective app stores. We have also received a number of bug reports and we are currently rectifying them, one by one.

In this letter, I’d like to share about what we have in store for March.

ver1.1.0 Release Plans

Addition of Chapter 9

Addition of a new Character and their related Quests

Function to toggle auto mode on certain story text segments

Addition of a few function improvements and bugfixes

About the function improvements

Improvements so that upon clearing an Event Quest, the difficulty displayed on the menu will not reset to “Normal”

Upon strengthening a Character, when selecting “Recommended/おまかせ” the special Weapon type’s material that is supposed to have an effect but does not, will be rectified

And many other improvements and fixes are planned

New Events

For March, we have a few new Events planned. We will announce them on Twitter before we release them. 

We are overwhelmed with joy with how many download milestones we are surpassing, please do note that we intend on releasing the appropriate campaigns to celebrate them.

About the Current State of Improvements & Repairs

We have received many customer support tickets regarding bugs and suggestions for improving the game. We will select what is of utmost importance and work towards implementing them first. We would like to apologize for causing any sort of inconvenience to the players. 

And Finally...

We envision Re[in]carnation as a game to played at a slow pace.

We also do intend on making Re[in] an RPG with challenging contents down the road but, we would also like to convey the unique world of “NieR” to the players.

That is all.

Please continue to enjoy the game.

NieR Re[in]carnation Director,

Matsukawa Daichi

[JP] Message from the Director

Thank you for three years of Kingdom Hearts Union X.

This is Nomura, it’s been a while. Although, it may not have been that long ago since the last time I wrote. Anyway, I know it hasn’t been 3 years since Union X, but it counts from Unchained X. If you want to get really specific, it’s been 5 years since X [chi] started service, but that doesn’t actually count.

KINGDOM HEARTS III may have been delayed a little bit, however the mini game system [CLASSIC KINGDOM] from KINGDOM HEARTS III will be coming out in advance within Union X, now that the [system to play it] is finally ready. That Because [system that makes it able to play] is long, we’re naming it [χ3]. It’s short, but may be hard to know how to pronounce. I read it as “X-TRES”. The [χ3] system isn’t just [CLASSIC KINGDOM], but also shares the same Device and Menu Design that Sora uses in KINGDOM HEARTS 3, communication tools, and new content. For more details about this, check the announcement about its operation when it releases.

I know it’s been a long time, however new Main Scenario content will be coming next month. The fact is that [Union X]’s main scenario department, which includes myself, is also KINGDOM HEARTS III’s staff, so we haven’t had a lot of time to update it and apologize. I believe it is now that the core of the story should become more visible. With that, the next Main Scenario update will also include a new character. It will also be revealed how that character and that character are connected… I think that development will be very interesting!

In addition, up to now we’ve included a lot of content using the existing Disney Worlds, but we will now expand to a new world. Along with that, we are preparing new mysteries and developments in Union X, so please continue to enjoy the game.

With thanks to everyone, for [KH3] and [3rd Anniversary], I end with not an apology, but with a reward to our players. Until next time.

KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES DIRECTOR Tetsuya Nomura
