Literally everything about it, this game was a dream come true for me. Some personal highlights include:

- The "Preview to Path C & D" after Ending B. I had some serious Kojimbo flashback and had to laugh, it was amazing as well.
- The whole beginning of Route C leading up to the opening. It felt like the game was really starting after 30 hours.
- Finding Emil's cave and all the Lunar Tears, seeing Kainé's hut and hearing her theme. Serious goosebumps
- "9S...We've been expecting you..." - the callback to NieR with Popola and Devola but this time they are on your side. Their whole backstory
- Whole Tower segment and mindfucks. Popola's library
- Ending Chorus & Ending E
- Final Boss: Square Enix
- Falling for that Save Game Delete a second time

>What was your favorite part of Nier Automata?

Unironically route A.
The best route. It always amuses me how people are missing a lot of context and details in 2b's character development during the A route but I fully enjoyed the story and the final part. Very emotional and well-directed.

I also enjoyed the beginning of route C and the bunker's blowup with music and titles. Very nice directing as well. But the rest of the route - not so much honestly. Don't know why, I was just "okay" about the events there. Nothing shocking, nothing surprising. A2 needs more screen time. Machines were pretty simple minded in the end and I expected a better motivation and explanation.

I don't know, I wish the game had more depth. Even with all side materials and stuff it's somewhat on-surface. Not going to say that Nier Replicant was any better. In fact Drakengard 1 has the best depth and development in my opinion.

Also enjoyed to discuss the Watchers' connection, Plant and other shit. It's probably loose end though, even the tattoo is hardly justified and makes little sense. And while Taro says there's a connection between N2 and Red Eye there's absolutely no room to discuss anything about it because Taro didn't fucking bother to write something about that.
Shame about Accord too, why even mention her and ignore? DLC sucks too.

Overall the game is typical Taro's imperfection. Good romantic / existential story about 2b and 9s and their inhuman research about the humanity and attempts to parrot / become humans.

NieR is my favourite game of all times and Nier a tomato did something I thought impossible...I like it just as much, maybe a little bit more because after all the suffering there is still a glimpse of hope.

9S's English voice actor.
Even if I thought the game was a repeltitve chore to play, at least 9S was a pretty neat character.

I feel like you're trolling, because there's no way to make that ending anything but bitter sweet, without pulling shit out of your ass, or it otherwise being totally contrived.

>>384353191
I'm with you, they are both some of my favourite games ever

>>384353569

watch the concert

>>384353601
The concert is a prequel, isn't it? It was made before, and takes place before, the game.

>>384351329
The start of route C because that's where the story drops all pretense of trying to be uplifting (until ending E at least) and we get full on the Taro Express.

As for gameplay, I think the Opera bossfight. I know I saw it in the trailer but I think it's one of the best in the game.

Good thread.

>>384353685
The opera boss is the only one that REALLY felt like a boss to me. The rest didn't feel nearly that much like a boss, just like bigger enemies with larger health bars. It had a unique design and a very unique moveset.

At the Tower segment I was only really hoping they would somewhat expand on humanity's data saved on the Moon server - maybe even with Yonah and Kainé being restored as Replicants or something, but I guess that would have been tooo much.

The library from Nier was my favorite bit. Didn't actually see that coming even though I should've.

Back when I played the first NieR I got really upset after learning about the "truth" of the world and I thought the best solution was simply to destroy everything and let the planet try anew on its own, since everything was so fucked up. So I could understand 9S when he went completely berserk in the Tower.

That is a problem with a lot of bosses this game has...especially that fucking bullet hell water boss. I hated having to do that twice. I think Eve's last form was better because he actually got a new moveset (compared to Adam). But in general this game had some pretty wrak bosses, especially considering you have to fight Engels like four or five times.

The Earth stopped rotating for some reason, so there aren't any day/night cycles anymore. I was never clear on what exactly caused that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just something Taro wrote in to explain the in-game lack of a day/night cycle.

>>384354225
If the earth stopped rotating then there would still be 6 months of night and 6 months of day. Unless the Earth is somehow fixed in one spot and isn't rotating around the sun.

It still orbits the sun, it's just that it's rotation slowed down enough to always face the sun the same way similar to how the moon always faces the earth the same way. Either way though, it's not really a big thing in the Nier universe and is just how it is.

i don't think that was the problem. it was implied through the tower level that 9s was more or less aware that 2b is executioner, since he was high-end robot capable of doing some brain work. He probably put the pieces together somewhere at the end of first part of story, rest of it is about him living in denial and slowly having mental breakdown.

I just finished this game yesterday. I got ending e. It took me a bit to understand the full scope of the ending and all that, but after sleeping on it, my fucking god what a game. Thinking back on how many things tied up, like the amnesia quest (I was actually thinking during that quest that it seems a bit too foreshadowy to be a coincidence and I was somewhat right) or the wandering couple or 2b's first opening monologue.

Also holy fucking shit, weight of the world initially didnt hit me that hard because I was focusing on the bullet hell, but after re-doing the ending again today it got the waterworks flowing a touch.

But nothing in the game fucks me like listening to Kaine in the lunar tear cave. I had that song stuck in my head the entire day and I felt like breaking out into a sob every 10 minutes.

This game is fucking incredible, I've never felt the things I've felt while playing this game in my entire life.

About that, I'm a bit sad I didnt understand everything at first. When they talked about 2B killing 9s over and over. I thought it was some sort of cycle, like either a time loop or a new planet. Only later did i realize it was what happened before the game starts.

>>384368359
He didn't get a memory wipe though, he took a nuke. Twice.

>>384368138
It was representative of Pod 042 trying to salvage 2B and 9S's memories and data to bring them back. The dev credits are what you see, but it's not really what's going on in-universe. 042 also didn't expect to make it out alive either, which is why he's so embarassed about it afterwards, he wanted to go down in a blaze of glory.

>>384368596
And then we go into Factory to retrieve the old body so i assume 9S got back his experience from this mission as well.
It's one of the first side quests.

>>384368864
>which is why he's so embarassed about it afterwards
He's probably especially embarrassed because 153 carries him in ending E which is adorable.

>>384368483

>he just does this

Fuck are you on about? 2B and 9S are each other's reason to live. She literally starts dying when he won't wake up. Plus everyones free from the bullshit proxy wars and are allowed to make their own reason to live.

Except A2 she got shafted pretty hard lol, she wanted to die so she could be back with her waifu.

Just played the demo. Disappointed, but it's my fault. I really should've picked up on the whole waifushit as a sign of the actual game's mediocrity.

I do have to wonder what went through Kamiya's mind. "Hey, let's make Bayonetta/MGR, but with no comedy, no style, completely straight-faced and serious and fill out the missing pieces with anime tropes"

I skipped most of the cutscenes, but I wasn't really in the mood for it so sincerely doubt I missed anything good.

Difficulty settings are retarded. Just design a game and make it challenging.

>>384372860
It's the games fault you're a casual?

Before it entered the idea phase.

Any other games that use music effectively like this?

>>384373453
no this is the only one

>>384373251
well the option's given to you, so they had casuals in mind

>>384373501
Yeah and you also have the option to play on easy and activate automatic mode, did you do that?

>>384372607
Bro, they're baiting you; that's all this board is when kids are awake, don't fall for it.

Crippling social anxiety it seems.

Become as Gods!

That whole sequence was amazing.

>>384373603
to make a meme game you have to be a meme

Lotta depression for a smiling man!
You're a brilliant guy.

The only video game to ever made me cry.

But difficulty settings allow you to make the game challenging for people of different skill levels. It also adds replayability for people who get better at the game while playing through it and can then make the game more challenging on subsequent playthroughs. Also things like buying a fuckton of healing items and pausing to use them is basically the player altering how challenging the game is for themselves.

>>384373814
>hahaha, how bad can it b-
Oh.

>>384351329
All of parts. I like that part during the singing boss where she yells and all the androids drop from the ceiling though.

do you need to get a certain ending in Nier1 to appreciate Automata?
I've only gotten the first ending in Nier1

>>384374101
When would you legitimately use healing items if not during combat, anon?

>>384374236
Playing Nier 1 actually spoils the fuck out of this game's big twist.

>>384374315
How so? I never played it. You mean the humans being extinct all along or?

>Square Enix is blocking most of the music on youtube
Further cementing them as a shitty fucking publisher yet again.

>>384374315
no it doesn't those are all novel shit

>>384374428
Yes

>>384374240
Between fights maybe? Or you could use healing items through the quick menu instead of pausing the game. Or just not at all, the fact very hard exists shows the game is designed so you can avoid taking even a single hit.

>>384374671
>the game isn't too easy because you can go out of your way to make it more difficult

Uh huh

>>384374497
It was either nier or drakenguard that spoiled it, right? I know one of them did.

Don't post the first version of the timeline I put out. I even made sure to revise that line so people wouldn't get the idea that Pascal had been involved in the armistice.
The Peace Faction was already large and educated enough at that point to carry on without Pascal's leadership.

One thing I really liked about this game is how the overworld music would sometimes change during certain side quests upon their conclusion, and then keep playing afterwards as you continue on exploring. A really great way of keeping a lingering sweet or creepy feeling depending on the quest.
