Romano, Sal (August 17, 2016). "Nier: Automata coming to PC via Steam in early 2017". Gematsu. Archived from the original on August 17, 2016 . Retrieved August 17, 2016.The company 8-4, which had localized Nier, also localized the English-language version of Nier: Automata. [52] According to Yoko, 8-4 changed elements of the script for each region because some of the concepts in the Japanese script are difficult to understand if directly translated. The aim was to create a script that would appeal to players around the world. [53] Because 8-4 had worked with Yoko on Nier and Drakengard 3, they were familiar with his writing style and found it easy to ask for clarification during translation. [54] 8-4's biggest challenge was translating the android dialogue, as it was difficult to balance their purported emotionlessness with their highly emotional relationships and distinct personalities. While 9S was already written to be more emotive in Japanese, 2B had to be rewritten so she appears "droll" rather than emotionless in English. [52]
