The World guides aren’t the only Automata books around, though. There are also the novelizations of the game, Long Story Short and Short Story Long. Short Story Long is also cool because it includes the novelization of the related stage play, which gives important backstory to one of the characters. Let’s not forget about the YoRHa Boys novelization either, which is another stage play that’s important to overall world-building. Since the stage plays were only in Japan, these books are the only way to get those tasty Automata lore bits! The physical, paperback versions of all of these are discounted, so now’s your chance to stock up on reading material! Am I promoting these so that the Nier: Grimoire art and storybook gets translated from all the sales here? Maybe. But hey, it’s a win-win, you’ll get more delicious lore either way!
