Wait, What? NieR: Automata Lets You Buy Trophies?
NieR: Automata, developed by Square Enix and PlatinumGames will release in North America on March 7 for the PS4 and today we learned that the game appears to be introducing a brand new feature that allows users to buy Trophies. Yes, you read correctly. Granted, this has not been confirmed by Square Enix but it certainly appears this will be the case.
If this turns out to be true, this will be the first time in any PlayStation game that a developer has added the option to buy Trophies. According to Reddit user youkatei, who is currently playing the Japanese version of the game, you can only buy Trophies on your third playthrough, and it’s only with in-game money, not real money.
This will come as a relief for many but it’s also managed to trigger quite a few folks. There is a huge community of competitive players that love to grind and get their hands on that elusive Platinum Trophy. While there are others who have become incredibly frustrated trying to accomplish that feat.
Keep in mind the ability to buy Trophies has not officially been confirmed by Square Enix so please take this information with a grain of salt. Still we wonder if other games will follow suit.
