Just to make a guess, the yorha squads we see usually consist of about five members. They had three, so maybe the other two were an E and her target. They saw the killing, found out the E's purpose, killed it (or watched it kill itself) and decided to bail. When they saw 2B, they noticed the similarities to their own E and knew she didn't really have any intention of detaining them.

pressing right side of the touchpad brings up the menu, same as pressing Options. Left side brings up a quick menu for items and Pod attacks, similar to pressing Select in OG Nier. Also, once you unlock debug mode it can be activated by pressing R2 and either side of the touchpad.

As someone who loves the shit out of both Bayonetta (and most of Platinums other major games) and Automata (and Taro's other works), Automata really doesn't offer the same thing traditional Platinums previous games do.

There's potential for flashy use of your moveset, but beyond that it's missing many of the elements of traditional Platinum games. The game doesn't particularly reward high skill level combos, and the games levelling system and some abilities specifically exist to trivialise certain aspects of combat. Outside of specific bosses the game doesn't particularly challenge you either.

Automata's combat is definitely something that feels like it's by Platinum, but what it's attempting to deliver is more of an action-gameplay based JRPG that has unique mechanics involved than a traditional action game like Bayonetta or DMC. Not to mention that a sizable portion of the game involves dialogue, going from place to place and non-combat gameplay so it really isn't the focus of the game.

In other words, if you "just want a new DMC game", Automata will not deliver on that.

Comparing it to okami is praise, though. Okami didn't have the deepest combat although it did have some neat shit you could do, but it was 10/10 regardless of that.

This is a fair assessment. It's still a lot better than Nier's combat, and the story/characters hold up. That's all I could ask for.

I'm more disappointed by the fact that there's no big fishing quests. I guess the whiners won this one.

For lorefags, I have a question for you in term of continuity and timeline regarding Nier and Automata
Is it me or Yoko fucked up a bit the plot in its continuity between nier and automata?

I understand the whole concept of YoRHa and shit, but something doesn't make much sense when it comes to "hide the truth from androids" plot part: outside sources state the last gestalts died on 4198, effectively defining the exctinction of humanity (further confirmed in automata as "approx 4200" in a document). Aliens showed up on 5012, so there were still a rather long timeframe where Androids should have realized humans were all dead.

Let's assume one bit that they still managed to do some damage control. How was it even possible considering it took 800 years for humans to disappear on earth? I mean the Popola and Devola models were shunned for years because it is common knowledge Nier P&D 'fucked" up the project gestalt.
So shouldn't androids be really wary about the very few remaining Replicant and/or merged Replicant/Gestalt? In that scenario, I wouldn't be surprised if every android would horribly go overprotective towards the remaining humans, so having that info not leaked sounds like a stretch to me.

Coincidentally, does the game explain when the all YoRHa plan started? The war started a little less than 700 years prior Automata, so things are a bit sketchy in the meantime.

Aside of 2 name changes, the plot and all didn't really change. It is pretty faithful, although some characters are a bit more coarse in their language, but that's a far cry from usual average/mediocre translation.

Two names for copyright reason, no big deal

>Also on the endings thing, do you have to do certain things, are they different routes all together or are you doing the same shit?

5 main plot-related endings, 21 joke endings.

Main endings can be completed by just finishing the game. Joke endings involve stuff like you accidentally messing up a quest.

>is the story really interesting
Read some plot info stuff (official pre-release stuff so you avoid spoilers, I mean) and see if you find it interesting. The plot and characters is the big appeal though, definitely.

>Did they change anything in translation
Two character names were changed/bleeped out due to trademarking. Otherwise I don't think anything else was changed.

So that sales benefit sony first before steam.
It's enough time to persuade anyone looking to get it on the PC - who might already own a PS4 - to get it on the PS4 instead of waiting.

It's also a way to collect the honest people's money before people start piriating it.

>>171296842
That's not what I meant. I mean that when a preordered, preloaded game hits it's release time on PS4, you can launch it instantly. On steam you have to "prepare to launch" for like 15 minutes after the release time, even when you have already preloaded the files. I assume it is just unpacking and actually installing, but it still takes a rather long time to be on an ssd.

Not really that important as they are NPC. They pretty much had to change the name due to copyright. In both dubs, the names are bleeped out as they obviously couldn't change the recording. (However, asian/JP version of the ps4 game isn't affected).

As for being more coarse, I didn't mean it as "vulgar", but the english script does add more "flavor", but it doesn't drop even drop the F bomb (or at least, very very rarely). it just that some character sound way more blunt and sometimes haughty than what the jp implied.

It is nowhere close to what happened to Zero in DoD3 though.

You don't have to play the other games if you want to jump straight into Automata, but there are things you'd appreciate more if you played the first Nier. Not a necessity though either way.
>>
>>171297124
I felt like in the dub, 2B was way more harsh than her JP counterpart during the mall t-shirt scene, which kind of ruined it since it was seemingly supposed to be one of her rare moments of kindness leaking out. There were other cases too, but this was the example that sticks out to me.

>>
>>171297253
Exactly what I meant yeah. Hell, even at the very start of the game, when 9S offers the map data, the script makes 2B says "Do it", whereas her jp dub states "got it".

There are a lot of instances where 2B really appear stiff and hardass for no reason, and it makes her "nines" blunders fairly less cute.

A2 also got some instances (I really thought they wanted to make her a kaine 2 at some point).

The funny thing is that they also made the Commander using "goddamn" in some instances, which add some emotions in her speech, whereas she is supposed to be really composed.

The pro handles 60FPS like 90% of the time without any problem. It becomes apparent when you aggro a dozen of stubbies at the same time while going ham with combo and pod.

I sometimes got framerate dips in ruins and desert without any fight going on, but it was definitely not horrible by any means.

I can't tell how it went on the regular PS4, but pop in generally happened for few elements in the backgrounds like bushes, trees from medium distance.
That said, I very rarely got area pop in (like when I return back to the base on foot, sometimes the whole base is black for a split of second before the area is fullly loaded).
I think this happened like 3-4 times during my 100% run.

I found it hard to empathise with 9S to a certain extent. I felt bad for the guy at multiple points in the plot, but he spends so much of the game going "FUCK MACHINES, THEY'RE SO SHIIIIIIIIIIT" "REEEEE, A2, NO TALKING JUST FIGHTING" that he just seems like an angsty teen.
Like, his fate and very existence is tragic, but the way he handles himself when it comes to almost anything but but 2B makes it harder for me to care about him.
I do understand his childlike behaviour is intentional, what with ending D being named Childhoods End.

This isn't to say I don't find him entertaining or well written. I totally get why he goes fucking nuclear. I just think that, in his quest to avenge Toobers he loses sight of what matters.

I hope Ending E Nines has a better life.

We should learn to respect our inner murder-hobo.

Caim is still best, but I think I like 9S more than Brother Nier in terms of Caim-ness. Bro Nier can have a happy ending (it's short sighted and dooms everyone, but still) but 9S will never get that. His insanity is justified in my view. I got pretty upset over the Pods trying to "fix" him but to no real avail. The Pods are the real heroes of Nier Automata.
>>
>>171298224
If you pay attention he does question his attitude at several points and then 2B goes "Machines don't have feelings remember?" and that shuts him down thinking about it anymore.

There's also the fact he does keep numerous things to himself, including the fact that he does remember the beginning of the game when they Black Box'd. Route C shows it amongst his memories.

Also N2 is intentionally fucking with him for shits and giggles. Even sending Auguste and Friedrich who he dismissed as a dead and dumb machine at the beginning of Route B.

>>171297253
Call me an autist or weeb but I think some of the lines and delivery of melodrama don't really translate that well into English. And you can't really localize certain aspects too far otherwise they'll flat out not match the actions and expressions onscreen. And English VAs just flat out can't do convincing emotional cries/roars imo.

I want to live in a world where we can get classically trained stage actor's to do VA work for all games, Like how they got Lena Headley and Sean Bean for Kingsglaive. BUT we don't need these big name actors, go to the UK and scout smaller and lesser known stage actors that have talent or are on the rise/getting some decent Hollywood roles[ le foreigners taking our jobs meme :^) ]. Somebody like David Oyelowo (Moonlight), Riz Ahmed (The Night Of), Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out). If you keep your ear to the ground and manage to grab these guys around when they're doing some establishing work, but haven't ha their BIG break yet, you could get them for peanuts compared to Bean or Headley. It would make the games VA industry great again rather than hiring these bargain basement acting rejects that went into voice acting. There are only a handful of truly decent to good English VAs and between the games and cartoon industry there just aren't enought to go around. By getting these stage actors into VA work, you could change the entire industry paradigm and revitalize voice acting for stuff that just the latest Pixar/Disney animated blockbuster.

Sidenote, I started playing God Eater recently and it pisses me off how "wacky" they made the scientist/Dr. guy.

I could live with that, IF all jap games came with original JP audio and serviceable subs. I can ignore dubs then.

You could save even MORE money for all I care and not bother casting an English cast at all, just shove a bit of that stack towards a better subs translator.

>>171299030
>But it sounds fine in English. there's literally nothing wrong with the dub. some of the dub voices even sound better than the jap ones.
Haven't heard the game yet, it was more of a general rant about cases where a game has shitty English VA work and the publisher has decided not to release the JP audio as an option even though it would be utterly trivial for them to implement. And when they turn a blind ear to constant cries of request for the JP audio, when all they'd have to do is just push a patch out on Steam.

I thought the opposite, honestly.

Which I thought made it more tragic that he flipped on that after Ending B.

I do go back to 1600x900 if I get preformance issues.

At native res I'm getting 60fps, but still with some random slowdowns on intro mission going down to 55-56 at odd spots.

>>171301119

Not that Anon, but I didn't much like 9S as a character. Going full retard pretty much put me off him, because he didn't seem cool, he just seemed like a raging faggot.

A2 I didn't get that feeling with, because she was presented as a raging faggot, and had a much better reason for being one, and showed some potential growth away from that.

9S however was pretty much a shitbag from the beginning, and only progressed to a bigger shitbag when his waifu died, and atop that, blamed A2 when he knew pretty damn well she was probably all fucked up from machines and the virus to begin with. Which was all the more ridiculous because A2 was literally the furthest person from being involved with any of the YoRHA bullshit.

Then that's your stupidity. 9S was presented as something else because it would ruin the twist about him and 2B, and Adam and Eve both point out that they are just like him. And when Eve has his mental breakdown and goes Final Boss it was inevitable it would happen to 9S.

**** 2B was always meant to ruse people into thinking its about sex when they mean Kill. Because both his desire to kill her for what she's done to him and his desire to fuck her cause he likes her are not separate.

It's funny, I've been wrestling with the idea that the Pods could be blamed.
If I understand correctly, they were aware of the ENTIRE plot involving YorHa from the start. The only heroic thing they did was, at the last possible second, decide to ignore and rebel against their programming/orders.
If they'd developed this sense of will earlier, could they have rebuilt 2B and stopped 9S becoming murderbot2000?

The thing is he's not really badly written or anything, he just, as a character, is an asshole from the start and I personally don't resonate with the guy. So I'm not saying it was badly done or anything, going bugfuck crazy from your entire world falling apart is something I can get, just what he was lashing out AT seemed a bit contrived if only to just force a confrontation between the characters.

Which is even weirder because he'd know weapons contain the users data to some degree, and now that she had 2B's sword she would have part of her, so why's he got such a big fat murderboner to extinguish what he'd know would have the last remaining bits of her data?
>>
>>171303210
Memory Cage Proved he knew from the beginning and Route C even shows their black boxes touching from the beginning of the game.

As A2 said he has ALWAYS KNOWN and even taught himself how to fight with swords just to kill her with them. I swear

That's kind of the point. They didn't have their own will until the very last second. They were just mindless drones doing the only thing they had been programmed to do. You'd have to blame the people who programmed the pods to do what they did.
>>
>>171302923
>Why does she completely stop being a main character?
Because A2 ends her suffering in chapter 11-06 (of 17): 2B's Final Moments after the bridge scene you know from trailers. You won't play 2B afterwards. No need to thank me.

He wants to kill A2 because he saw her kill 2B and that's enough for him to want her dead.
Remember that he works exactly like a dead-end machine, fighting is the only thing he has left now that the rest is gone. He doesn't really have a reason by the end and he stops the pod from telling him so until after his fight is over. The plan was always to kill the machines, kill A2, and then kill himself.

>Memory Cage

No, it didn't. He finds out every time sooner or later. That does not mean he magically always knows.

>As A2 said he has ALWAYS KNOWN

She assumed he knew by that point in the game. His reaction is ambiguous enough that it's entirely possible he still didn't until she told him. She never even implied he always knew.

>even taught himself how to fight with swords just to kill her with them

Him learning to fight was never stated to be because of him needing to fight 2B. He's a soldier. He uses swords all the time to fight machines.

No using melee weapons is not what S-Types were made for. They were made for Recon, which the game tells you. Memory Cage confirms he taught himself to fight with close range weapons.

The fucking game confirms that, genius.

>And you ignored that his memories showed he remembers the Black Boxes touching on Route C, which means he remembers more than what we are meant to assume he does.

That's literally the dev team needing to fill images on the screen and cheating with ones from prologue cutscenes. We see everything that happens in the prologue from his exact perspective and we see that he really didn't have a chance to upload his own memories. But let's say for a second that he did happen to remember, and he chose to hide this from everyone for no reason. How would the memories of what happened in the prologue in any way clue him in that 2B is his enemy? He was the one who suggested using the black box reaction to complete the mission.

It's supposed to show that he keeps the memories of his deaths even though he isn't supposed to. They went on missions together before the prologue, 2B killed him before. Put 2 and 2 together.

And thats exactly why he comes off to me as a raging faggot. Even A2, who had it much worse than 9S and has been on her own murderboner quest for a few hundred years, can still stop and actually question things.

Meanwhile Faggot McDaisyDukes over here can't even put 2 and 2 together about just why 2B died apparently. Especially with knowing everything going on and the fact that they all almost got fucked by the virus right from the beginning.

I'm just saying there probably should've been at least some kind of pause to his rage to question shit for even a moment, rather than going full retard forever and ever, especially since a character who's had 200+ years of being locked in a shitshow of endless rage can take a few seconds to go "Huh, this ain't adding up".

Yes, because the dev team is flawless and capable of no mistakes. Eat a dick. Like I said, having the memories of the prologue doesn't give him a single clue as to 2B's actual purpose. He's the one who initiated the black box reaction.

I did. Fuck off with your headcanon.

>We see that he says Pod153 should upload hers FIRST, we don't have any confirmation that he didn't have time to upload some of his memories.

The reception during the mission was repeatedly stated to be terrible. The fact that 2B got her memories uploaded in time is already a small miracle. And he has no reason to lie about not remembering things because nothing incriminating occurred. He doesn't even remember not to call her 2B -san.

>It's supposed to show that he keeps the memories of his deaths even though he isn't supposed to.

What are you talking about? How is it meant to do that? It only shows shit from the game, and there happens to be an image or two from the prologue. Not of 2B doing something horrible to him, just of her face from a billion different angles. You retards keep trying to make up this shitty narrative that 9S knew all along, and if that was the case then why weren't his memories of her of actual moments when she was his enemy?

The explicit point she's making you fucking idiot is that it shouldn't be possible. As 9S happily states himself he is state of the art so he found a way to wield a weapon he's not meant to.

The two had also been traveling together for awhile but he never wielded the weapon in front of her. It's why she wouldn't be surprised when he does ingame. Hell 9S himself never even comments on the fact she never questions him using weapons he shouldn't be able to.

First off Pearl Harbor was right before the Yorha project actually started, which is three years ago. Second, A2 isn't stopping to question anything. Pod 042 is the one doing the thinking in her route while she's just killing machines because they killed her lover, and he makes fun of her constantly for it.

A2 is a great big dummy, and she had more friends than just A4, some of which are even still alive and she just hasn't been keeping in touch with. She couldn't even figure out what Pascal's village was at first when she was told in advance what would be at the marker on her map. And she was bullied for it.

9S is also three or so years old. Maybe a few years more and as A2 is an Attacker got to be around people more.

>The explicit point she's making you fucking idiot is that it shouldn't be possible. As 9S happily states himself he is state of the art so he found a way to wield a weapon he's not meant to.

There's nothing there that even implies he only learned how to do it to fight her. He's fighting machines throughout the whole game. He's a solo recon unit. Learning how to fight with a melee weapon would be incredibly helpful for his purpose. All it shows is that 9S is very adept at adapting to situations and learning how to do things he wasn't programmed to do. They say the same shit in the game, he's not a combat model, he shouldn't be able to fight combat models. You're literally trying to lie about what Memory Cage says in an attempt to browbeat other people who don't believe your bullshit headcanon into shutting up and not poking holes in your theory.

>The two had also been traveling together for awhile but he never wielded the weapon in front of her.

That's great. In one iteration, 9S avoided showing her his skills because he happened to find out who she really was early on. Again, it's not evidence of anything.

>It's why she wouldn't be surprised when he does ingame. Hell 9S himself never even comments on the fact she never questions him using weapons he shouldn't be able to.

Why would 9S comment on that if 2B doesn't care? And why would 2B be surprised that a model that learned to fight in melee before learned how to do it again? Hell, one of the big guilts 2B has about her job is that every time she kills 9S, and he comes back fresh, he still falls in love with her all over again every single time. The whole game is about cycles, recurrence of events, shit that just keeps happening over and over even though it would be better if it didn't.
>>

It's more so the fact people are saying 2b is not even the main character and the boy is and you play her less? it's kinda a trick to the people buying it. I didn't play it yet but I see why people would be mad.

Time for the three boxes analogy again
2B is foundation of the soul that 9S loses
Humanity is the god that 9S loses
In Route C/D 9S is meat. The whole game up to 2B's death is about 9S becoming meat. She's a means to this, and used after she is dead as a means of showing 9S' soul calling out to him, but by the time he gets out of Soul Box he's in a place where he can't hear it anymore.

Yet he never showed said skills or even showed said weapon in front of 2B, which implies that he more likely did it in preparation of fighting her. You don't get that at all. If he had no intention of using said skills against her in a surprise attack he wouldn't have kept it a secret.

2B and himself do remind each other of regulations and how they are supposed to be obey them. Like machines not having feelings, a fact the Council of Humanity Files also brings up at one point or calling her ma'am at the beginning. He should have brought it up in front of her at some point because they have repeat dialogue at certain locations numerous times in the game. Like at the mall.

The fact 9S has a personal executioner amongst YoRHa shows just how dangerous and useful he is, and that he's a dangerously destructive enemy if he potentially turned on them all.

Also even with the repetition of cycles the game also shows how the system of the cycle changes with time. The Machines evolved over the repetition of cycles and were no longer the same, even as the same sequence of fighting happened.

I'm pretty sure you're just shitposting at this point, but you play as 2B for Route A, 9S for all of Route B, 2B at the very start of C, then 9S and A2 evenly for the rest of the game. A2 you play as the least. 9S you play as the most.

If 9s and 2b basically have the same route and you are basically replaying the game with the same bosses, why does she have less gameplay? How long is route c and d? are they short? So A2 I'm guessing gets those routes? whats she like? does she have a ass too?

>That's why I said some memories.

Okay, then. Maybe he did upload some memories and decided to hide the fact for no reason. Once again, we return to the biggest issue with this stupid-ass theory. What memories from the prologue would clue 9S in on 2B's real purpose?

>Gives him more time with 2B before Command or 2B decide it's time for a memory wipe.

They only wipe him when he finds out the truth. It has nothing to do with arbitrary amounts of time. If he knows the truth already because he remembers everything, he wouldn't be shocked and confused when he finds it out again.

>Merely pretending. Or he just didn't have enough time to upload that memory.

See above. He has no reason to pretend if he did nothing that would cause suspicion. If he did something that caused suspicion, which would be finding out the truth, then he wouldn't be shocked later on when he actually does find it out.

>Are you retarded?

Okay. I guess the devs are simply incapable of screwing up. It's not at all possible that they didn't realize a particular screenshot was from the prologue, no sir.

>It only happens to show that he knows about their prologue death and the game only happens to imply that 2B is actually there to keep him in check and kill him.

No, that's not how this works. If you want to claim that he knows 2B is there to kill him because he remembers the prologue, then you have to prove that he would know that 2B is there to kill him because of something in the prologue. Or, you would need to prove that he remembers things from before the prologue, in which case there would need to be things from before the prologue in his memory files, which there are not. The game doesn't imply jack shit about 2B's purpose in the prologue. He's the one who suggested the black box reaction to kill the goliaths, not her. She was reluctant at best.
>>
>>171307732
Because 9S is the focus of the story longer than 2B is.
C/D is approximately the length of route A, but it could be longer if you take your time and explore/do everything.

There is no C and D, it's one route with a split choice to get ending C or D at the very end. You alternate between 9S and A2 during this, but you still do more with 9S than you do with A2.
A2 shows up once in route A/B. Most of her character is in a stage play. She is mostly a mouthpiece for 2B's will after she's dead.

Those moments aren't cutscenes. They wanted big pretty pictures of 2B's face from cutscenes. And again, if 9S remembered everything, I'd wonder why he chooses to store 2B's face a bunch instead of memories of her killing him, or of their battles in the past, or anything that would be good fuel for the supposed murderboner you complete fucking idiots keep trying to claim he has for her.

I never argued with this premise, it's just not proof of jack shit. He has plenty of valid reasons to learn how to fight in melee that don't involve 2B. He might have learned to fight to deal with her in that iteration, but trying to claim he did so for the same reason in later iterations is just silly.

>2B and himself do remind each other of regulations and how they are supposed to be obey them.

It's not a regulation that Scanners aren't able to fight. They're just not equipped with melee combat programming because that's not what they were designed for.

>The fact 9S has a personal executioner amongst YoRHa shows just how dangerous and useful he is, and that he's a dangerously destructive enemy if he potentially turned on them all.

Okay. How does that prove he knew about 2B the whole game?

D-Types aren't made for fighting, bu Defense, E-Type for executing so of course they know how to fight, B-Type are for battle, O-Types are operators and have to be properly refitted by Command before they can even be sent to fight.

D16 even implies she learned how to use weapons to defend herself from 11B who looked down on her and treated her like shit.

You're missing my argument. I'm not arguing that he knows about 2E because of the prologue, I'm arguing that those memories are supposed to clue in the player that 9S knows more than he's supposed to. Your whole argument is that the memories aren't supposed to be there, because they don't fit with your headcannon. When I say read between the lines you're saying that I should ignore the lines.

>>171308559

You don't even need to use healing items as 9S since auto-heal works during hacking sequences too.

>>171307732
I'll try to make this as clear as possible for you
route A you play as 2B for the entirety. most of the sidequests are given in route A. all of the areas are introduced in route A. your route A playthrough should be longer than your route B playthrough.

in route B you play as 9s, but go through the events of route A. there are gameplay changes, and you experience a lot that you don't experience in A. you get a few sidequests.

in route C you play as all three characters. you start off with 2B, then after a certain point you switch between 9S and A2. you get a small amount of sidequests.

so in terms of content introduced in each route, route A is 40%, route B is 25%, and route C is 35%. furthermore, since you're so incredibly fixated on the gender of the character you're playing and wether or not they're in a black dress, that would roughly equate to 40% 2B, 50% 9S, 10% A2.

all this being said, i find it idiotic you're basing your decision on wether or not to play a game purely on the main characters gender, with zero knowledge of that character or their context in the story.

The fact that 2B who is around to kill him didn't know about it means he reprogrammed himself to use melee weapons without the Bunker knowing. Commander wouldn't have sent her to do her job without such knowledge in the first place.

You do know a guy can resent someone for killing them right? I mean that's clearly why he wants to kill her. It's cause she's killed him and love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Plus any guy that happy to kill a bunch of copies of his waifu does have issues beneath the surface.

>A Unit Type is made with a specific purpose in mind, deviating from that should be something Command gets on about.

How does a Scanner learning how to fight in melee to improve his capabilities in the field deviate from their purpose of being a solo recon unit? They already know how to fight with ranged combat via pods and flight units. Why would Command be upset over a unit improving itself for its given purpose, especially when that's the entire reason the 9S model is kept around despite the fact that they seem to keep discovering the truth and requiring a memory wipe?

>>171308871

>You're missing my argument. I'm not arguing that he knows about 2E because of the prologue, I'm arguing that those memories are supposed to clue in the player that 9S knows more than he's supposed to. Your whole argument is that the memories aren't supposed to be there, because they don't fit with your headcannon. When I say read between the lines you're saying that I should ignore the lines.

Okay, stop. Your whole argument is that 9S knows more than he is supposed to because he has memories he shouldn't have. But those memories he shouldn't have are restricted to the prologue, and nothing in the prologue would give him knowledge he shouldn't have. You can't just say 'well he just happens to know more than he should!' because not once does he indicate such things before he comes upon major revelations like the truth about YoRHa.

You tell me to read between the lines, but there's no fucking lines to read between. You're just inventing a big bullshit explanation for one single thing that is far more likely to be a developer not realizing where a screenshot of 2B's face was taken from because you absolutely must have a psychopathic murderous 9S prior to the actual moment he becomes a psychopathic murderer.

>>
>>171309596
2B gets no story until after she's dead m8, just implicit things and small foreshadowings.
And it's entirely about how she was suppressing her feelings for 9S through all the times she had to kill him.
>>
>>171309556
S-Types are better at hacking and Melee.

It's why people have joked he's the Caster of the group to 2B's Assassin and A2 being a Berserker. Hell the fact he's not even good as A2 at close combat is even shown in their final fight where even playing as him ends with him stabbing himself on his sword and she only stopped because her feelings made her hesitate from finishing him off.
>>
>>171309596
2B gets the base story, sets up the world, the general plot, introduce characters

9S gets to learn about WHY everything the way it is and whats going on under the surface.

Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? YoRHa androids have built-in learning capabilities and functions. He doesn't need to reprogram jack shit.

>Commander wouldn't have sent her to do her job without such knowledge in the first place.

2B is assigned to 9S on a regular basis, just to watch him, not to kill him the moment she meets him.

>You do know a guy can resent someone for killing them right? I mean that's clearly why he wants to kill her.

He doesn't want to kill her. He fucking loves her. Not in the insane crazy way, the normal way. And he definitely doesn't know her purpose until at least after he enters the tower.

And you can't just say I should ignore that picture because you don't like it. They tease the whole game with how he's supposed be a top of the line model and needs to be killed if he gets too close to the truth. Then they show him having memories he shouldn't have. Then A2 literally says the he's known all along. There are more things that don't add up. Like when he says he didn't know E-types exist when it's probably common knowledge, like when in the prologue they actually have 7E accompanying the squad. I mean, could he be teasing her, because he knows about her model?

>far more likely to be a developer not realizing where a screenshot of 2B's face was taken from
I could argue that the developers were to lazy to create extra scenes for something we only get to see for a second and used the next best thing.

> absolutely must have a psychopathic murderous 9S prior to the actual moment he becomes a psychopathic murderer.
What? Never said that he was psychopathic before, just that he most likely was suffering before route C and that 2B's death just tipped him over.

The music in the cave leading to Emil's house, coupled with the high level enemies and the total darkness is atmospheric as fuck. Bonus points if you go into it the first time with 9S alone.

You don't actually need to clear the area, it's just thay the lock on is kind of fucked up. I think being able to hack it before it starts moving is probably a glitch, since it seems really finnicky and you need to be in just the right position to hit it.
>>
>>171310352
What route are you trying to do it on? I couldn't remote control them in Route C, but Route B worked just fine. Try and control the ones neat the carousel - just make sure you wipe out all the plebs around the statue first.

Also what level are you? Boss is like 80, so if you're whacking it at like level 50, it'll take like 10 minutes of hitting it to reach the threshold for him to become alive. If you still wanna, just make sure you change your chip setup for max damage.
>>
>>171309910
Commander still would have informed her about him knowing melee if she had ordered it. Even sending her to monitor him with a lack of knowledge can easily backfire. So her not knowing about it means he did it with ulterior motives you are too stupid to grasp.

So, I've been reading the weapon stories now that I finally upgraded all the weapons, and quite a few are good, but I can't help but feel they overuse:
1. Setup story background.
2. Tell story.
3. Nice thing is about to happen.
4. Tragic/Brutal/Murderous/Cruel thing happens.

Obviously doesn't apply to all, but there sure are a lot of these.

Are Virtuous Dignity and Cruel Arrogance talking about Brother and Papa Nier respectively? I know the Iron pipe is in the game, but the final entry for these two seems to be further confirmation that both Brother & Father are canon.

>And you can't just say I should ignore that picture because you don't like it.

I've already given it the benefit of the doubt and shown that even if the picture means he remembers something of the prologue, it's still not evidence that he knows 2B's true purpose at that point in the game. You can believe it's intentional if you want. It still doesn't prove anything.

> They tease the whole game with how he's supposed be a top of the line model and needs to be killed if he gets too close to the truth.

Yes, when he finds out the truth, or at least they suspect he might have, they kill him and wipe his memories. The mere fact that this occurs cyclically is all you need to know that he does not retain his memories between iterations.

>Then A2 literally says the he's known all along.

No, she fucking doesn't. She does not say that. I already showed that this point is full of shit at the start of this whole argument.

>There are more things that don't add up. Like when he says he didn't know E-types exist when it's probably common knowledge, like when in the prologue they actually have 7E accompanying the squad. I mean, could he be teasing her, because he knows about her model?

Or maybe he actually just didn't know they existed because all his memories of finding out that 2B was 2E were erased time and time again. Shocking thought, I know.

>I could argue that the developers were to lazy to create extra scenes for something we only get to see for a second and used the next best thing.

Except there's a clear theme to all those images. It's 2B's face. That much is clearly intentional on their part.

>What? Never said that he was psychopathic before, just that he most likely was suffering before route C and that 2B's death just tipped him over.

You don't get to say that 9S wants to kill 2B because he knows what her purpose is and then backpedal on it.

Why are you still stuck on this point? You're just repeating yourself over and over. Him learning to fight in melee in one iteration for the sake of fighting 2B does not mean he always did it to fight 2B. He certainly doesn't ambush 2B throughout the whole game despite having ample opportunities to do so.

>Jackass points out androids feel pleasure from combat. It's like masturbation. And he is actually overjoyed at killing a bunch of 2Bs sent to torment him. That's a Caim smile.

My theory on why the YoRHa wear funky clothes (aside from mere stylistic choices on the dev side) is that because of natural resilience, they don't need to wear anything practical.

It has something to do with what Adam put in his head during that whole mindfuck sequence. That's the first time 9S reacts to the picturebook.

It was the first time he displayed such skills and he's had such skills since, which suggests he's been allowed to have them from that point onwards as part of the mission. Commander is willing to let him having knowledge he shouldn't when they'll kill him later. Like on Route B when she tells him mankind is dead.

9S was already crazy. Adam was already in his head and compared himself to him because he's filled with hate and rage and a desire to destroy. He tries to keep it in check.

Hell Pod 042 has seen him do this shit enough that the moment he does something against the rules he tells 2B to inform the Bunker so they can kill him or leave him to die.

>everything goes fucking wrong

Every time. Always a barrel of laughs because they STILL don't realize Japan doesn't give a shit about PC and doesn't know or care how to port things to PC, and any PC port is literally a push by the western branches.

This shit is endless hilarity to me because they never learn and the cycle repeats for every game.

I'm still a mad about the Earth being Tidal-locked with the sun since before the first Nier. Like, it might have been a funny joke at first, but when you take thousands of years into consideration, the planet should be devastated and dead. White Chlorination Syndrome was the least of humanity's worries. I can buy maybe machines and androids tooling around, but some tranquil ecosystem with liquid water.

>It was the first time he displayed such skills and he's had such skills since, which suggests he's been allowed to have them from that point onwards as part of the mission. Commander is willing to let him having knowledge he shouldn't when they'll kill him later. Like on Route B when she tells him mankind is dead.

Again, nothing's stopping him from just learning to fight again on a later iteration. Though you might be right. They might have specifically allowed him to keep the melee combat subroutines when they did the mind wipe. But the problem is that it's still not proof that 9S knows anything else that he shouldn't, even if that is the case. The fact that we saw 9S's reaction to learning 2B's true purpose in Memory Cage, and that it wasn't to hang out and be all buddy-buddy with 2B but rather to spring a trap on her the instant he had the opportunity, really leads me to believe there's no way he knows 2B's true purpose at any point in the game except for after entering the tower.

>9S was already crazy. Adam was already in his head and compared himself to him because he's filled with hate and rage and a desire to destroy. He tries to keep it in check.

Did you pay attention to that sequence? 9S's hatred is pointed specifically towards humanity for making him and others fight in the war. It's not insane, it's just proof that he's not a perfect little soldier, but we already knew that from his cavalier attitude and his 'yeah, yeah'.

>Hell Pod 042 has seen him do this shit enough that the moment he does something against the rules he tells 2B to inform the Bunker so they can kill him or leave him to die.

It's well established how often 9S learns the truth and they have to kill him. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here.

>You've got this weird inability to see reality and its really annoying.

Reality? Anon please.
>>
>>171311607
>It still doesn't prove anything.
It would prove that he's lying to 2B after the prologue. Then you can ask yourself why would he be lying. One possible answer would be he knows about her purpose.

>No, she fucking doesn't.
https://youtu.be/4z3Wwmycm5s?t=3025
Okay, not literally. But she says he knew about 2E. The flashback afterwards could again be interpreted as 9S remembering the prologue.

>Or maybe he actually just didn't know they existed because all his memories of finding out that 2B was 2E were erased time and time again. Shocking thought, I know.
Not talking about 2E, but about 7E from prologue. It's strange that E types are supposed to be a secret and then send one with the squad without hiding her type. So 9S did know about 2B coming down, but not 7E?

>Except there's a clear theme to all those images. It's 2B's face. That much is clearly intentional on their part.
They could create a screenshot of her face while she tries to kill him, but that would spoil the player too much. Showing things from the prologue is far more subtle.

>You don't get to say that 9S wants to kill 2B because he knows what her purpose is and then backpedal on it.
Maybe we should differentiate between 9S having the urge to kill her and actually wanting to go through with it. Why else would they made Adam's "you want to **** 2b" ambiguous?

But it's such an irrelevant detail to include, and kind of a pointless joke to make. Players should just assume that it's night time whenever you quit the game and don't question it. You bring in the concept of tidal locking when you are just going to ignore all of the effects that tidal locking will have on the planet. Taro seems too detailed of a writer to be this lazy.

Except it's not humans, but Androids who made them fight. A sign you still know jack shit about anything. He wants to destroy what's left of humanity because he will never meet a human and that is driving him mad combined with his grief over 2B.

The fact that Pod 042's first response to any of 9S ideas is to have him eliminated, left to die, or report him, says him turning on 2B is a regular and common occurence because 9S sticks his nose into things he shouldn't and learns things he shouldn't, and generally keeps things to himself from 2B. Learning melee to combat 2B because he learned the truth is an easy and completely logical idea that Memory Cage even supports.

>>171313597
E-Types are so little a secret the file on A2 even says they would be sent after her when they were up and running. It'd be hilarious if 9S is the only guy who doesn't know because they know how he'll react.

>It would prove that he's lying to 2B after the prologue. Then you can ask yourself why would he be lying. One possible answer would be he knows about her purpose.

But how? How would he know her purpose, but not the truth? What reason would he have to lie?

>Okay, not literally. But she says he knew about 2E.

She assumes he knew. Or she's mocking him for not knowing the truth about 2B and still wanting revenge. The way she says it comes off as mocking more than anything else. "But you knew that, right?"

>The flashback afterwards could again be interpreted as 9S remembering the prologue.

The flashback is either for the players alone or, if it isn't, that means it really is a staggering revelation for 9S and he's actually going back through his memories and realizing all the times she killed him (even if that black box reaction was his idea, not hers). Pick your poison.

> It's strange that E types are supposed to be a secret and then send one with the squad without hiding her type. So 9S did know about 2B coming down, but not 7E?

9S wasn't told who all the members of the squad were. She does have to introduce herself to him.

>They could create a screenshot of her face while she tries to kill him, but that would spoil the player too much. Showing things from the prologue is far more subtle.

Or, much more likely, it's because she doesn't actually try to kill him in any of his memories of her except, obviously, in the A and B endings.

>Maybe we should differentiate between 9S having the urge to kill her and actually wanting to go through with it. Why else would they made Adam's "you want to **** 2b" ambiguous?

It wasn't nearly so ambiguous in the Jap version. It's just 'fuck.' You'd have to add a kanji to make it 'kill.'

Jesus Christ, anon. Get your facts straight. He doesn't know humanity is extinct yet when Adam is mindfucking him and talking to him about all his hate.

>The fact that Pod 042's first response to any of 9S ideas is to have him eliminated, left to die, or report him, says him turning on 2B is a regular and common occurence because 9S sticks his nose into things he shouldn't and learns things he shouldn't, and generally keeps things to himself from 2B.

You're just repeating yourself again, even though I've already shown that this doesn't mean anything. 9S doesn't just magically know all the truths in the game just because he's smart. We watch him learn every little thing one by one and each thing hurts him more than the last.

The lore in-game focused on weaponizing it or specifically using it for gestalts, no implication at all of using it for global ecological stabilization, much less any kind of system that would survive and function without maintenance for many thousands of years.

Also the game was very much focused on the world that came about because of those things being introduced. The games were not telling a story about "what if the earth were trapped in endless day and humanity had to cope with a ruined earth with a boiling, stormy, inhospitable climate". That's not the story Taro seemed interested in telling.

NIps use 1 symbol per syllabe, son.

As I explained before, kill is 殺すin its dictionnary form (ころす、3 syllabes) and "(I) want to kill" is written 殺したい. If you write it in hiragana it leads to ころしたい, and even so, nips usually consider 1 symbol as 1 syllabe in general.

Well, there isn't anything as distinctive as Weiss in this game, except maybe the YoRHa insignia. I like of like the cover though, shows a good deal of desolation that the two have to traverse.

Ah yeah the little window that opens as he goes from section to section has him bring up how they were built to defend mankind in desperation. Forgot about that.

While I find it unlikely that they would publish their older games on PC, what are the chances for re-releases on PS4, as that's the console I might get at some point.

I think it's a decent port so far, the upscale is kinda bad because it makes my desktop shit itself on tabbing out and I need to alt+enter on return.

Not my point. For every detail that Taro seems to milk and develop into something, it seems out of place that a tidal-locked planet is just kept as a token background detail, while actively ignoring the effects that such a situation would have on the planet in the time-scales in the game. He wouldn't lose anything for retconning it and just letting it be a joke.

There's a difference between intentional and relevant to the story/lore elements and symbolism bringing up more questions than answers, and something like 'why even bring up tidal-locking when it isn't relevant and you're just going to ignore it anyway?"

>Or shock having it spelt out so directly. Rewatching the scenes it's seems to me the flashback is more there for the player.

I actually agree with this, but the issue is that it still leaves the scene ambiguous as to whether he already knew or not. One point I can think of where he definitely would have had the chance to find out would be when he attached that 2B's arm (if it was actually a 2E. It could have had some leftover data on it that revealed the truth.

>And you're making shit up again. Pod never tells him her name.

no famalam, you started the chain by launching the enemy with what appeared to be a light attack launch. with 9s its x -> square really fast, and i know the heavy launch with 2b/a2 is x -> triangle, but its that light launch you started with that i never learned how to do (outside of dodge launch)

It's probably just one of the things that will never be explained, like what happened to Angelus body after being used as a the basis for magic.

Though Drakengard 1.3 Dragon ending shows that if sufficiently crazy enough and powered up from eating red eyed humans dragons can do some super weird shit, like ltierally eat the planet or in the case of Angelus turn into a winged hot, shirtless genderless man-angel.

Possible. Right now I'm kinda agreeing with the point that he didn't know about 2E, but somehow kept some memories or small fragments of their time together through the cycles and only realized what happening during their missions.

>I'm almost positive that Pod does in fact tell him her name.
I rewatched the beginning of 9S' prologue. It doesn't. 21O says that there is only one unit left, but not the name. Which could be explained with those leftover memories.

Did anyone else get sick when the machines just started eating things?

But honestly, I knew it was going to happen at some point, just... not like that.
>>
>>171317583
I don't want to drag this out. It's the one detail that triggers me, and i missed out on the Nier train when it was originally established as a detail.

The mystery of Angelus' body is kind of fascinating, and a bit easier to enjoy because it's almost entirely about open-ended speculative magic stuff.
>eat the planet
Now we're going somewhere. Too bad it seems to be a dropped lore thread.
>>
>>171317875
It will all be canon. Saying it's "canon" doesn't prove shit.

And 9S was still alive in that ending, so they either built a new 9S or he died offscreen. In the former it means there's still two 9S running around.

If Taro's being extra Taro-y he might have 9S from D in space with 9S who is alive but unconscious in C and the new one made for E all be alive in the same timeline. Unless he makes a brand new ending for the next game.
>>
>>171318048
I didn't get sick but I absolutely loved how much more threatening they looked. Normally the robots faces look almost cute since they they're just round little balls with eyes, but suddenly you gouge a hole where the mouth should be and put some cool red lite-brites in there and they look scary as fuck.

And he was still alive when A2 sacrificed herself and his black box was not shut down.

Let's not even get into whether S4 and the druggies are dead too which makes the Black Boxes all being offline even more confusing.

It's also confirmed they finished collecting all the parts they need to rebuild them, which means they likely saved 9S arm for last.
>>
>>171318179
Why do you think I put quotation marks around canon? I know everything is going to be canon, but the chapter select path for ending E implies that the possiblity for ending E is only open if the tower collapses and 9S didn't get the chance to speak to Adam and the machines couldn't ejaculate their memory probe into space. That's all I was speculating.

On a scouting mission, a giant red dragon flies over you and hits you with a blast of "Fuck You" hellfire
Your body melts away, but it reveals that a real human bean was inside all along
2B comes over the horizon and sees you naked
21O phones in and sees you naked
