Nope, because by that time I realized he was referring to 9S's inner battle where he fucking hates 2B for doing what she does while being a lying piece of shit all at the same time being platonically in love with her and had already figured the word to be "Kill"

>>377507070
Blinder that is actually a combat visor...
Just saying.

>>377507128
Love, fuck, date, kiss, heal and all other love-related words you can think about.
Side materials cement the fact that 9S never held any grudge at her for killing him over and over and straight forced her to continue doing it so they can be together.

>Literally every opportunity to kill 2B instead 9S does everything in his power to save her.

Its supposed to be ambiguous since 9S is a total psycho, but after having read through everything, it seems to me he is incapable of killing her because he wuvs her too much.

That was just one iteration of 9S though, remember that another one literally tried to kill her. You are a stupid one.

>>377506839
It's gothic lolita not edgy

stop being stupid

>>377507942
Of all the androids, 9S just had to fall for the execution unit in charge of killing him over and over .

He may have been a psycho by the end but damn he did not deserve that type of psychilogical torture.

>>377508170
Actually read side materials, retard. Even his first incarnation who fought her merely wanted to know her motivation for trying to hurt him. When he tinkered around her memory and learned how compassionate she is even despite her shitty job, he accepted dying from a virus with an easy heart.

>>377508170
Actually, the first mission where they fight, he's just trying to hack her to find out her motives, he wasn't planning on killing her then either.

>>377507816
>A2 will never get to go on a nice stroll

>>377507441
keep in mind that YorHa units get pleasure from fighting and killing

When 9S fought the 2B waifu brigade it was probably an orgy for him

I hope we get a prequel or DLC to Automata solely about A2

>>377508514
When 9S fought an army of 2E he was already fucked up by a virus and unable to discern love and hate judging by side materials. That's different. But he kept clinging to the memories of "his" 2B to the very end which is exactly what moved N2 and forced it to re-evaluate its own existence.

And whole thing about deriving pleasure from combat is overblown. Jackass says they experience a feeling similar to love from battle frenzy but for all intends and purposes 2B hates fighting and loves 9S with a pure and selfless love. And despite his psycho tendencies, 9S developed an incredibly strong feelings for her too.

>>377509691
A2 and her Squad where sent on a mission that could only end with their death.

>>377509691
A2 found out that she and her team were prototypes for YorHa units that were designed to be expendable and used on suicide missions
Since it was considered unethical to send traditional androids on suicide missions, YorHa blackboxes were made using machine cores

>>377509691
A2's unit was a Yorha test unit. They were never expected to survive and thus received no support from command

YoRHa fashion sense is supposed to be Androids mimicking the Schutzstaffel. I mean their combat uniforms have Wehrmacht Helmets, regular Androids use Stg44's and the flight units are named Ho229 which is pic related. The flight unit looks pretty similar.

>>377510472
If you spoke with the Engels later in the game it'll say how its life has no meaning anymore since he failed to kill you and commit suicide
Meanwhile machines off of the network found their own purposes and lived fulfilling lives, in their own ways

And the resistance is still a thing, YorHa was relatively new

>>377510752
You don't really have to if you take pride in being a retard. Your choice.

>>377510941
Engels can't take the grief of having murdered so many androids now that he is out of the collective and kills himself for that
Machines out of the network all end up in absolutely terrible situations. They all die except Pascal, who gets memory wiped.
Their newfound purposes take up their entire lives and once that new purpose is taken away they are gone. Also, they can't live in peaceful covens without killing.

>>377511426
I must be missing something, because once the good robot king died the machines stagnated and became very retarded.

>>377511573
Pascal's village is just a small pet project of machine network which is a giant memory space all machines share. N2 won then evolved and fucked off, taking all machines with it.

>>377511605
>and became very retarded.
There's no indication of that, they remained loyal to their King and defended the Forest Kingdom.
Also inside Machine Lifeform society "Nobles" started appearing which resulted in civil war with the absence of a Machine Network.

Didn't the Ark on Ending D took every machine with it, and didn't A2 completely wipe the machine network on Ending C?

How the fuck do a machine society exists post-Automata?

>>377511894
Git gud you little bitch

>>377512015
Endings C and D are independent from each other. Machines off of the network when the Arc took off/assploded like Pascal are here to stay

>>377512015
>>377512015
Machines didn't stop existing, just N2 fucked off with all the memories of the already existing machines. Machine Lifeforms are leaderless and trying to figure out how to govern themselves.

>>377512203
I think you got it wrong, >>377512134 sounds more correct.

I had forgotten about the disconnected machines.

Thanks for clarification

>>377512318
There was never a single machine that was off the Network, they were all still connected to it. Even Pascal was still connected.

Funny how they needed that justification of using machine cores for YoRha units, when really to a human there's little to no difference between the machines and androids - they're both ultimately disposable tools.

I think that would have actually been a lot meaner to show just that.

Also ironic how Sartre's philosophy is misunderstood and/or mocked by so many other robots when it's the central problem to their existence in the conflict with YoRha.

They're a life form.

Too bad the game itself is so mediocre. Still, interesting set up.

>>377511894
But you can, you just can't save during the retardedly long prologue bullshit. After you finish the prologue the game is fine and you can save pretty often.

>>377512701
Because the assumption that every Machine "disconnected from the Network" stopped functioning because N2 fucked off in the Ark is wrong.

>>377512792
Kind of hard to know that when the story telling fell on its ass the second half of the game

>>377512792
What I mean basically is that N2's last gift to the machines was the gift of self-determination. N2 kinda pulled a Beepy 2.0

You need to do his quest first. After you finished the Forest Kingdom you need interact with a Lunar Tear to start it. Though that one doesn't grant you access to his house.

>>377511967
Come to think about it, Operator choice for main characters was pretty deliberate.
9S got a strict mother figure who would be reasonably harsh but still love him.
2B got someone who could provide her at least some diversion from her horrible work though she doesn't need anyone aside from Nines.

Also after ending E A2 never wakes up, 2B tries to wake up 9S but he thinks he's going to lose his memories again and offs him self. 2B is an emotional wreck forever and Pascal makes some alliences and watches Machines start a civil war.

>>377513985
I think they just did that because of the culture gap.

Nip 2B is unemotional as fuck because that's the attitude that the japs associate with professionals.

English 2B on the other hand is strict and serious because they want to convey that she is a professional first and foremost.

Both nip 9S and english 9S try to convey that they are pretty much childish nerds who are green behind the ears in their respective cultures (when around 2B), when they are alone with their pods they drop the act)

So what 2B is to 9S?

>>377514730
Nah, she still shows it in the english dub as well, it's just the act that changes, (Strict bitch/kuudere). Infact, there is little difference in the localization regarding their true nature.
Strict 2B becomes more mellow and concerned and kuudere 2B becomes more emotional and vocal.

"Ms. 2B" doesn't work and doesn't sound right in English. "2B-san" would best be translated to just "2B" in English in the context of them being partners, but if they did that the scene would not make sense. Using "ma'am" conveys the meaning of the original Japanese dialog and actually works in English.

>Can you tell me why Ms. 2B doesn't work or sound right in English?
Because the androids' names function as their given names and they have no family names. You would normally use "Ms." or "Mr." with a person's family name, as in "Mr. Smith" or perhaps with their full name as in "Mr. John Smith". It sounds weird as fuck to me to just use "Ms." or "Mr." with somebody's first name nowadays, since using their first name implies you are already close enough to not use "Mr." or "Ms." at all.

Calling somebody "Ms. Anna" or something sounds completely out of place to me, it doesn't sound like you're trying to be polite, it's more like trying to convey respect to Anna from a position of inferiority, like she's your teacher or you came out of a period movie and you're Anna's servant.

"Ma'am" is stronger than "2B-san" but it displays the same sense of somewhat distanced politeness that "2B-san" does in Japanese. Using "Ms. 2B" in English would completely change the meaning, as I've explained above, as such "ma'am" was the right choice. The closest translation for "2B-san" would just be "2B" since you can still use a person's given name in English while being somewhat distanced and polite - it doesn't directly imply that you're very close. Considering that scene however, they could not translate "2B-san" to "2B" since it would not make sense:
>You don't need to call me 2B, it's unnecessary. Just call me 2B.
That is nonsensical and doesn't convey anything.
>You don't need to call me ma'am, it's unnecessary. Just call me 2B.
This conveys the meaning of "you can use my name, you don't need top be so polite."

How can that be the same? John-san is what you call everybody normally in Japan, and it either translates to John or Mr. John, not fucking "sir".

>So you can call Mr. John Smith, but you cannot Ms. 2B? What in the holy fuck? 2B is her full name.
Yes, you can call somebody Mr. John Smith, though you probably wouldn't, you'd most likely use it when referring to that person when talking to somebody else, but you cannot use Ms. 2B to convey distanced politeness, because people IRL have at least a given and a family name and those names are used differently and function differently in the English language. 2B has a single name which functions as her given name, not as her family name, as such you cannot substitute it in English phrases where you would normally use a person's family name.

Since "2B" is her given name, referring to her using 2B means you're already on a first-name basis. This means that if you also use "Ms." as in "Ms. 2B" you're not simply being polite to somebody you're not very close with, you are instead showing respect to somebody who you ARE close to. This does not make sense in the context of the scene since
>1. 9S is not yet close to 2B, as far as he knows
>2. They are partners, so even if he were close enough to use her given name he would not need to convey the sense of respect which comes with "Ms."

Now using "ma'am" works well because
>1. It does not use her given name, as such it does not make them seem close when they are not
>2. It conveys a sense of politeness you would show to a stranger and NOT respect to a person in a superior position
Now when 2B tells 9S to just call her "2B" instead of "ma'am" it implies:
>1. She views the distanced politeness unnecessary
>2. She feels she is close enough to him for him to just user her first name
This conveys the meaning of the original Japanese dialog even if "ma'am" is indeed stronger than "-san". It was the best way to do it in English while not altering the actual meaning and subtext of the scene.

But it isn't and you don't. This person doesn't exist, people don't have a single name IRL and IRL language has formed and functions using 2 names (at least). Do you understand this simple concept?

>You are basically covering a much stronger honorific when the word Ms. 2B perfectly fits in the situation.
Yes, it's much stronger polite form, but "Ms." in this scene would transmit something completely different, as such "ma'am" is the best option there is.

>>377518878

>>377519026
>But it isn't and you don't. This person doesn't exist, people don't have a single name IRL and IRL language has formed and functions using 2 names (at least). Do you understand this simple concept?
I don't understand it because there are languages without first name/family name, and in this case 2B is her full name.
>Yes, it's much stronger polite form, but "Ms." in this scene would transmit something completely different, as such "ma'am" is the best option there is.
But that's exactly wrong, because Ms perfectly translates to how you address a person when you first meet them.

Nobody actually says sir and ma'am when they first meet their partner.

>because Ms perfectly translates
No it doesn't, because 2B does not have a family name to use with "Ms." as you would with an IRL person's name. "2B" does not function as her family name. The only situations where you'd use "Ms." with somebody's GIVEN and not family name do not fit the scene and convey a completely different meaning (respect out of a position of inferiority instead of politeness, as I've explained multiple times), as such they do not work as a proper translation.

To profs and TAs?

Fucking 2B is barely superior to 9S, he only calls her san out of politeness.

It's like you calling your classmate ma'am.

>>377522921
>So society gets back to fedora tipping speak like sir & ma'am?
Nier devolved back into the middle ages

>I understand that in certain context i.e. super formal & military setting
YoRHa are military.

>>377523260
They're not classmates, nor are they equals

They may be partners but officially 9S is supporting 2B and catering to her maintenance needs

>>377523260
There is an established hierarchy within the organization where scanners support the front-line combat units.

>>377523368
By the tutorial, it's actually 2B who must rendevouz with 9S and help him.
>>377523314
>YoRHa are military.
You call your superior sir, you do not call your squad leader sir.

Yes.

>>377523531
>you do not call your squad leader sir
What are you supposed to call him? Joe?

>>377523674
Captain.

>>377506234
While 9s watch

>>377523698
2B doesn't hold the rank of a captain

Viet pls go back to riding your Honda Cub

>>377517236
Yes. At a certain point in the game the filter is removed and you can see her in color during gameplay.

>>377523698
In fact, if we go full autist, 9S should refer to 2B by her rank.

But never mind that.

>>377523531
Yes you do. Chain of command requires you to address all above ranking offers in that manner.

>>377523828
And pray tell what rank does 2B hold?

>>377523932
Ask Taro

>>377523904
Well, it's definitely not military jargon since jap 9S just call 2B "2B-san".

That's not what they should address each other if they are addressing each other militarily.

inb4 the japs are wrong

>>377524152
They are wrong. 2 nukes weren't enough

Reminder that 2B is the one who assigned to 9S to follow him around on HIS recon missions.
He even makes a remark about combat unit being with him.

>>377523932
2. They are designated by their ID/serials which is based on their purpose.

>>377524478
You know what the real mission was

>>377524503
Number is a personality data.

>>377524478
So in short, 2B should refer to him as sir?

>>377524503
So in short, the whole ma'am shit is just decrying extra-importance to their simple name.

>>377524152
9S' entire character is the exception to the norm. Which is why he gets reprimanded by his superiors when he gets caught speaking out of line when hes on the comms

>>377515918
She sure has a nice plot alright.

>>377524976
I just remember 6O also 2B as 2B-san...

But I do not see the localizer translating it to ma'am.

Really makes me think.

>>377522886
That's just not true. First language acquisition is generally faster and easier than second language acquisition, but of course you can reach the same level of proficiency as a native speaker. It's not like there are some ancient secrets that are passed in secret.

My wife is German and studied English and she speaks it better than I do, not to mention that she has a much, much better understanding of how the language works and is constructed.

2E on the other hand...

IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU RIGHT NOW! DUCK!

Nothing personnel, m'lady.

>>377524735
They aren't supposed to have personalities despite being built with the potential to develop one. That's part of one of the game's underlying themes. Both androids and the machines humanize themselves over the course of the game. The former being built in the image of man while the latter develops a ghost in the machine type situation by imitating humans.

>>377524750
Pretty much

No because I'm not a weeb who is attracted to anime girls. Back to the psych ward with you

TL;DR dubs > subs

No.

Dubs also suck dicks in the new Zelda.

>>377525680
>They aren't supposed to have personalities
You're arguing with Taro himself.
The numeric part of the type represents the personality data, and the alphabetical part represents the functionality of the unit. The reason there are multiple functionality types is so that each type can specialize in their area to greater effect. The reason there are multiple personality types is because “having variety in our ranks decreases the chances of complete annihilation”, but deep down, the androids are imitating humans (or attempting to) in that regard.

It was dubbed in many languages, Spanish was the best
