Wasn't a huge fan of the Nier DLC's combat challenges, but the blunt/ominous acknowledgment to the story's connection to Drakengard was appreciated.

Can we discuss the "Beepy created the machine network" theory?

Because it doesn't really make sense when you put it under a lens. The machine lifeforms were created by the aliens, the network itself being a way to coordinate the entire machine force as one single entity. Beepy and his followers were not a part of the machine forces created by the aliens. The network became too intelligent and overthrew its creators. Then N2, the embodiment of the collective, formed from taking in the Project Gestalt data including the data of the original Gestalt, began to make some machines break off from the network in order to facilitate evolution amongst both itself and the androids.

You can't.

In Route C the machines with the buckets beg A2 not to kill their brother after his boss fight, and I walked towards them, thinking I could speak to them, which prompted her to kill them all.

Did A2's hair grow or was it always that length? Can androids even grow hair? Do they have any hair down there? I'm asking for a friend.

Also, it didn't give me her weapons. How do I get her large sword?

Hang on what was the deal with the aliens?

I know they're in-game all dead and wiped out by Adam and Eve but this whole plot point gets kinda overshadowed after the reveal that the whole story is basically back to revolving around Project Gestalt

>>171154915
I assumed that she originally looked more like 2B but it grew after the years she spent on her own.

How/Why synthetically growing hair on androids is a thing is anyone's guess.

It really isn't, though. Nothing of N2's motivations are related to Project Gestalt. Just because there are some visual motifs that recur in Automata is a really poor reason to claim that the game is about an entirely unrelated plotline. N2 itself is only similar to things like the Watchers in entirely superficial ways, and despite being based on the original Gestalt's data N2 literally could not be more different from the Shadowlord.

>>171155045
Some people have theorized that the aliens were another tool of the Watchers, because they were described as "plant-like" and Drakengard 3's world was almost destroyed by a flower.

But I imagine that they're mainly a red herring for the real conflict, the evolution of machines, and their parallels with humanity.

>>171154451
He created the machine network as we know it. The "ghost of humanity," the individuals part of a larger mind, all things that are identical in Automata that are brought up in Fire of Prometheus, is something that he put there, and the volcano god picture book is alluding to this. There was something there beforehand since machines came after and attacked him and there was fighting going on already when he got to the surface. He then spreads out over those machines and others with his bugs, or appendages, whatever it was. This evolution is what allowed for the machines to kill their masters, and why machines that are on the network still can express human features while not developing as rapidly as the ones that aren't.

>>171154451
>>171155308
Oh, and not every machine is dropped off by N2. Pascal left on his own with his villagers, and Adam and Eve both disconnected on their own, though those two are the height of their evolutionary progress and aren't quite the same thing.

>>171155408
Release order, you dingus. Each game was made with the previous games in mind.

Hard to say. It could be alluding to otherworldly events, like something Accord's mixed up in, or just the fear of the inevitable conflict between Gestalts and Replicants fighting over the right to their future.

>>171155408

Play the good ones but don't play the bad ones

>>171155308

But I've actually read the Fire of Prometheus and the 'network' you claim he was making doesn't resemble the machine network in Automata at all. The machines in Fire of Prometheus were just becoming identical to Beepy in thought processes due to constant exposure to him and his ideas, not actually linking up to his consciousness or anything like that.

No, they just thought they left on their own. Adam and Eve were the only ones who left by their own power and because they were a new apex of evolution like you say.

>>171155569
But that's absolutely wrong, they all have the name Beepy at the start, but read it all the way to the end.

>We are not an absolute, cohesive whole. Rather, we all exist individually within a larger mind. We had deliberately made it this way, since we knew it would increase our probability of survival. We knew that there was no hope of completely integrating so many consciousnesses in possession of their own egos from the start.

>To establish oneself as an individual, a border must be erected between one’s self and those of others. If we could go back to being mere machines, perhaps then we could fully merge. But it was too late for that now.

>Our electric circuits, made to imitate the human brain, had come to reciprocally connect an gargantuan number of neuron elements. It could be described as people talking to each other and coming to decisions like a council. A consciousness was not formed by merging into one… on the contrary, it was the linking of countless individuals. That may be the true definition of a network.

The stories are mainly standalone, but If you're interested in the story I'd recommend playing the first Nier first, then Automata.

Then if you still want more backstory look into Drakengard 1, while being wary of the horrendous gameplay.

Drakengard 2 was a direct sequel to the first game, but made by a different director, so a lot of people dismiss it.

Drakengard 3 was a kind-of-sort-of prequel to the first game.

>>171155283

I'm not even gonna bother with spoiler tags anymore because this thread is already dripping with spoilers
I guess the main plot point I'm confused on is the aliens invading. Because presumably humanity had already died by this point due to Project Gestalt failing roughly 2,000 years prior to Automata.

So they invaded, causing the replicants and androids to retreat into space?

>>171155626

>ーAnother question for Ishikawa-san. Without spoiling anything, can you tell us what do you think of 2B?

>I: (hahaha) Okay. First of all, the story itself is shocking in a multitude of ways—I’m really scared I might accidentally blurt something out. 2B isn’t allowed to express emotion, but in small places, here and there, you can see her treating 9S with gentle care. Since she isn’t overly flamboyant, she may be holding back her feelings, although they tend to unintentionally show in the heat of the moment or in slight subtleties of the heart. I recorded so many lines while thinking how it would be nice if she could express how she really feels.

>S: I won’t spoil anything, but listening to you just now almost made me cry. (haha)

>>171156272
it's a full on novel which is basically a collection of scenes from the game rearranged in different order so there wouldn't be much of a point in fully translating it, though there is a complete summary of it on grimoire cendre. Unfortunately it's in french but you can get the idea by using an auto translator

Acceptable since it's not a Taro game and has no bearing on the overarching series lore. The scenes with Caim are pretty neat though, so maybe look those up on YouTube at least.

>>171156431

Having actually finished it now, what Beepy did sounds terrifying. He basically spread a logic virus through all the androids and machines to forcefully integrate them into his network. Almost exactly like the red-eyed virus that N2 used on YoRHa.

Is Beepy the true villain of Nier: Automata?

>>171156842
He ruined everything, yes

>>171156604
of course it's dlc, Nier Automata is a mainstream release with tons of advertisement done for it, no way they aren't releasing story dlcs for it, people saying they aren't coming our are delusional
I just wouldn't expect them to come out any time soon since dlcs are taking a long ass time to come out for most games now, the deus ex dlc took so long to come out they cancelled the series in the mean time, kek

I don't recall him doing that.

Beepy spreads consciousness to other machines to try and end pointless fighting, but he goes out of his way to maintain their individuality and offers them the choice with what to do with it.

>>171156976
Drakengard 1's twisted atmosphere is way more disturbing than even the most intense horror games I've ever played.
I think he's deliberately tried to lighten up over the years by incorporating warmth and humor into his stories, along with his goofy public persona, but I'd really like to see him take another stab at full-blown balls-to-the-wall insanity some time.

>>171157041

That's basically what Drakengard 1 was by the end.

>>171157342

He hacked into them to forcefully impose his will on them and stop them from fighting. He made the machines, which weren't sapient before, suddenly possess consciousness. Of course he doesn't think it's strange to suddenly force thousands of minds to be exposed to each other on a network, and of course he thinks it's alright as long as their egos aren't destroyed by it. That's fucked up.

>>171155809
Project Gestalt imploded around 3400 AD, the very last remaining Replicants and Gestalts finally died off around 4200 AD marking the total extinction of humanity, the aliens first invade some time around 5000 AD I believe, and Automata takes place at almost 12000 AD

He didn't force them to stop fighting, they stopped after suddenly attaining a new sense of self-awareness.

Some were grateful and celebrated an end to conflict, some were fearful of the future, some were speechless before straight up attempting suicide. It was a case-by-case basis.

Considering the life of nearly every machine after being made into conscious beings has been literally hell for all of them forever, yeah, Beepy is the worst thing that ever happened to the machine lifeforms. Oh and the androids were already sapient, he just happened to mindfuck them into insane celebrations, mortal terror, and fucking suicide.

And you know every single one of those androids was purged shortly thereafter because there is no android network.

Yesterday I told you guys I loved the game after going in blind, and after playing through ending E I'm actually torn between this, Zelda and Bloodborne as not only GOTY but game of the generation. The only things I'm waiting on to reach this level is other Japanese games like Mario Odyssey, Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel 2.
Thank you for shilling this game on /v/.
I also sent a congratulations to Taro on Twitter and he started following me.

I feel like I get more mileage out of the % heal than deadly heal since you don't have to kill something to get back to health. I mean none of it really matters when you can take infinite recoveries but still.

>>171160580
it's like you're just going from war to war, anon

>>171160591
oh, I'm probably confusing deadly heal with whatever gives you HP on hit
The end of the game turns into drakengard with huge mobs everywhere and A2 with bracers can get half of her HP back in one combo in some cases.

>>171160517
not that anon, but can I get a link back to that? I had it somewhere but seemed to have lot it. I'm gonna put it in the OP

>>171160706
Deadly heal is the big % recovery when you kill something, Offensive heal is the smaller % heal of the damage you deal and auto heal is % per second after not taking damage.

>>171160695
The name of the song is actually War & War, the "to" is the Japanese "to", like Hikari to Yami = Light and Darkness
Yes I have done research on this song too. The last song that got me charged like this was on the Persona 5 OST and I wasn't expecting another one to show up so soon.

When are we getting Okabe's rendition of "Clash on the Big Bridge"?
I need it. And I kind of wanted Square to show their support for this game putting some FF stuff in it, like one of the dungeons having android Gilgamesh in it, and instead they're just shoving a bunch of Automata stuff in XV.

>>171161817
He reposted it on some other service and added a couple of paragraphs he forgot to translate the first time, I updated the file in the archive in the OP with the new translation

Square had zero hopes for this game performing well because of the underperforming shitshow that DoD3 was.

Beepy gave life to things that were never designed to live in the first place. He turned simple and disposable weapons of war into things that could think and feel. That's like giving your onahole a consciousness so that it can ponder the torment of its own existence that can never strive to be anything more than a cocksock.

Then he flew off to spread life to other worlds, presumably ready to hack and viciously violate the minds of any organisms he should encounter in the void.

The issue with Very Hard is that it is way too easy to take a hit on accident due to RNG or the battle itself being so filled with effects that you can't actually see if the enemy is getting ready to attack or not. Take the first Adam fight, for instance. His counters can come out in random directions and at random times, often with only a couple frames to react and dodge them, on top of the near constant effects that conceal him and his movements so you can't tell exactly what he's doing as long as you're hitting him. Even on Hard, Adam is ridiculous due to his counters being basically OHKOs.

Is the voice representing the council of humanity on the moon supposed to sound like N2? Or am I just imagining it?

>>171170416

Nah m8. Her character art shows its Cute-tier in size.

>>171170850
A. Not awakened
B. A fucking sneak attack so dirty it turned a small island into a mountain of salt.

>>171170956
That's how I read it.

I WANT A DRAKENGARD REMAKE

WHOS WITH ME

>>171171276
I WANT SQUARE ENIX TO BECOME TARO ENIX.

OR SQUARE TARO?

I DUNNO, WHICH SOUNDS BETTER?

>>171170958
>Then she sees Kaine hold something with her demonic left arm, and she was absolutely horrified when she notices what that thing is.
>Kaine is holding……. that swelled up and stiff male organ. The traveller saw the blood vessels on the object shaking.
Sounds pretty big desu

Could be like boobs and mechs in anime, where they vary wildly in size from scene to scene.

>>171171276
Fuck no. Drakengard can only be made worse by remaking it.

SHITARO ENIX

PRODUCER

YOSUKE SAITO

>>171171276
Eh. I don't think Taro would get much out of retreading it. Most of what it was done in response to is no longer topical, and the themes aren't relevant to current Taro. We'd be better served with a DoD1.5, a proper version of DoD2, or just cutting the crap and going straight for DoD4.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind just seeing a proper sequel in the same universe.

>>171171905
Honestly, the core elements of DoD2 would have been fine if they hadn't gone straight down JRPG cliche road.
If No Way had actually suffered consequences for murdering Union soldiers and breaking the FUCKING SEALS AND TOUCHING THE FUCKING SEEDS, it would have been a pretty decent followup.

I just want to know what happened to drakenworld after Caim and Angelus took a trip to Tokyo.

That seems like the second biggest hole in the series, after "how the fuck did cathedral city end up in the 800s".

>>171171345
The heck is that from?

>>171172143
Well, Seere's probably still around.

Yay?

>>171153539
Can anyone tell me the name of the track that plays while you explore the tower with 9S? It plays before encountering N2

>>171172143
I'd imagine everybody was eaten by angels, but The Great Time remained uneaten.

I kind of assumed that the Grotesques would bugger off after the Queen Beast left, but maybe that's wishful thinking.

Does anybody remember the name of that scrapped game that was about a girl controlling a giant, that was going to have been set after DoD's C ending?

>>171172143
I distinctlt recall some shit that basically said it slowly got worse until its existence just petered out but I can't recall from where.

>>171172475
Got worse how?
And how does a world's existence just...peter out?

Where do i get all the Novels? I'm at 50% with all endings

>>171153539
Wait hold on so even if you pick 9S, does the ark gets launched?

>>171172328
Well then..

>>171172757
If you pick A2 it blows the fuck up, if you pick 9s regardless of whether you select to go with them it fires.

>>171159609
Yeah, those just grow on trees. Easy pickings.

>>171172530
Well when you're shitlisted by The Watchers and they're now in your world shit goes pretty south.
Thats like having cthulu rolling around and expecting shit to be normal.

>>171172739

I'm pretty sure you're missing the Pearl Harbor ones.

As 2A, you have to keep talking to Anenome until she tells you she has the files on her computer if you want to look at them.

>>171172767
Yeah. She fucks some dudes corpse in front of said corpses sister during one of those battlelusts.

>>171172953
After that one*

>>171160009
I'm still looking for the twitter link for this if anyone happens to have it or know it off the top of their head. Google has unfortunately given me no accurate results, and I want to put this in the OP.

>>171172839
which is kind of funny since adam and eve were put on the spotlight as evil just to be friendly at the end of the game

That's more to do with the fact the machines evolve a lot just through the game's progress, and the network itself going all fucky.

>>171173091
Main issue is they're literally children despite their physical bodies.

Adam just had time to mature towards older teenhood while his doting and care kept his bro Eve in a sort of adolescence.

What kid do you know has any actual morality before age 5? If no parent existed to instill this would it develop naturally "just because"?

Its the whole "i can do no wrong" bit. Adam just slowly learns this from knowledge he digs up and Eve could care less he just wants to play with his big bro.

Whole message is they aren't evil they just misunderstood. You can't even call them misguided because they don't really have any guidance beyond their own vacuum.

>>171170956
>>171171169
Yeah, I didn't know if that was implying the machines hacked the servers long ago, or that they were just imitating the fake broadcast to be spiteful.
