Well, that much is true at least. They did try to save the world at first and help as many people as they could. They were just really bad at it in the end...

>>384506035
Nier has multiple tracks for whats happening on screen. In periods of low action there are tracks with no vocals and instruments are played slower, then as more and more action goes on screen everything picks up pace until we go full on WEIGHT OF THE WORLD. The great part is that it is all the same song at heart, they just have a shit ton of variations of it to suit the action on screen.

>the game itself was amazing

Yeah, I agree. The boring open world, the same recycled enemies over and over, the absolutely trash bosses, and tedious hacking mini game really made this game shine.

>>384506065
When the game was being made Taro had planned for Wither 3 type DLC to flesh out the world more. Square Enix went full kike and told him to fuck off since they didn't expect much from the game.

Popola purposely told Yonah she could find a lunar tear at the Lost Shrine because she knew that Nier would find her and stumble upon Weiss.

That's when Dev/Pop realized they fucked up because Weiss had strayed from his original function

The story ends with Kaine holding Nier and they remember him, but... what? So it's a happy ending? What happened after that? They lived happily ever after till the replicants died from lack of whatever life support the Shadowlord was giving them?

It's unknown if Nier after Lost World is even a replicant or some other technomagical lifeform. He doesn't have a Gestalt anymore, for all intends and purposes he shouldn't be alive.

Compare the dates between Lost World and Emil CD drama, Emil says that those two died 280 years prior to alien invasion which means both Nier and Kaine apparently lived for more than 1000 years after the events of original game.

The tree was a supercomputer left over from Project Gestalt, and it somehow let Nier and company reunite what was left of their makeshift family.

But society as a whole was fading either way. There wasn't much they could do to combat that with the Shadowlord and Grimoires gone.

>>384511430
So Nier and Kaine sucked each other dicks and lived with Yonah happily ever after? Really? That sounds too good to be truth but I want to believe it ;_;

It will be a devastating blow for them but they still have each other and that will probably keep them going.
Nier harboured such emotions for Kaine he removed his own existence even though he was one step away from reuniting with Yonah, and Kaine valued him more than anyone too.

Read DarkID’s LP of Drakengard 3. It’s got hot perverted anime babes, depressing backstories, and a fantastic soundtrack. Mikhail the dragon is Yoko Taro’s best character, and that is saying a lot.

People literally ran out of things to talk about with this game months ago. /v/ really just seems to have trouble moving beyond a topic or game long after the rest of the world has long since exhausted it.

A lot of people picked it up in the recent steam sale as it was 30% off or something like that and overtime more people will.
No doubt the threads will die down but they will still continue to be occasionally made by people playing it for the first time as it is very much a game that benefits from discussion upon completion. In fact I would say that discussing it here in the couple of weeks after launch was almost as fun as playing the game itself.

>>384506662

Beats the shitty ass woe is me everything is doomed so why care about anything anymore dialogue and storytelling shot straight down the line at NEETS that the game calls a narrative in a stunning twist for a Drakengard series title. Usually both the story and the gameplay are just kind of unpleasant. At least I felt compelled enough to finish one I tried for a change but it sure tried to make it a struggle throughout parts of route B especially

Actually, nothing. She's the only non resistance android on the bunker, and if you read the side-materials she's actually pretty competent at deploying combat contingencies. Too bad she thinks yorha is worth it even though she's supposed to be kind and it gets her killed.

2B felt so much grief she tried to kill herself in the prequel novel and her personality data is in tatters, so fragile that 9S described it as ready to crumble to dust at any moment. She's literally one step away from becoming a redhead E for the entire game.

She will need a massive healing after ending E to get over the fact she has so much blood of a guy she loves on her hands.

Who has the biggest dick, Bro!Nier, Dad!Nier, or Kainé?

Yoko Taro can't write, he can only emotionally manipulate. Yoko Taro does not write stories about characters. He writes vignettes where mechanically precise cosmological forces terrorize helpless children and the children sobbing uncontrollably as it happens. Sometimes the children are literal, like the machines, and sometimes they are children in adult bodies like Nier and 9S. But they have no agency or ability to change their situation and we are treated to lengthy cutscenes of them crying all the same.

These are not stories. They are nihilist anti-stories. Their value only comes from the crass manipulation of emotions involved in seeing cute and charming things suffer.

(At least until Ending E which is such a goofy tonal about face that it rings of Square execs pulling Taro aside and saying "Dude! Seriously!")

I almost kind of view that first fight with Emil as non-canon.

I don't know, the androids have no reason to steal from him. And they don't speak at all while doing so. And Emil doesn't mention the fight again afterwards.

It just feels like a bonus confrontation they threw in rather than an actual story element to build off of.
