If you want cuhrayzee, you could try Legends of the Wulin with heavy reskinning possibly. Nechronica, if I'm remembering correctly, is the game about mechalolis trying not to have their fragile minds broken beyond recognition, so yeah, that could work too. It just won't have Automata's super flashy combat of course

Am I doing something out of order? I just beat the game with 9S and now I'm doing a mission called Taking Control. The enemies are almost twice my level (I'm 34, they're 60) and I'm getting one shot while doing less damage than I did when I fought Eve.

I feel severely under powered. I do like tactical 2b though.

In Automata? I think it generally depends on RNG and the area in which you fish . And there isn't any mashing required, just the button to start reeling in and the analog stick to pull back.

And yeah, I think the fishing icon notification is all the chip really does.

He can say what he wants, he bailed because she wouldn't put out, only Dito is a bigger traitor than Octa.

>>171627680

Well, Three is kinda cute in her DLC when talking to Octa, especially when she gets excited about showing her creations ( i liked the bit with the stupidly named ones) to Octa, and her bluntly talking about '****ing'.

Gabriella shows up again, and she's as hilarious as ever too.

Then the further you go, the creepier it gets and it's honestly a nice bit of info on Three.

And gameplay wise, I think she's the most fun by far, and by Sisters I don't mean Zero ofc, who gets her Scissors anyway.

It's at least better than Five's dlc, which is pretty shit.

My body seems ready to explode with happiness, so it's a good thing she's prepared an enormous new body for me. I was special. I was CHOSEN! She chose me to be what she is calling "Cyclops." Just hearing it gives me chills! Lady Three says it comes from a giant of legend. Cyclops. The name has a sublime and ominous tone, and I only pray that my new body does it proud.

I think the joke is that the song might literally be called Emil's Memories. Or maybe Memories of Kaine or something. And your exact words were "Emil's Memories", as in you were answering your own question.

Okay Fags, let's find a solution to A2's suffering that doesn't involves death.

As some of you knows ending C route shows some bits that makes her feel alive again. But what will you do to make her smile again?

This is the robot in question, he's twice my level. Seriously guys I need to know what the fuck I'm doing wrong. The robot has like 4x as much health as Eve and literally every single attack, even his bullets one shots me. Even if I play perfectly it takes like 20 minutes to get him to like 40% health.
>>
>>171630243
A2 wants a family and more life experience with others that can show her how beautiful the world is.

Uncle Pascal showed some of that, especially in the quest where you need to find pieces for the toy, I will never forget how the little machines called her "BIG SISTER! BIG SISTER! PLAY WITH US!".

Just wait for the game to install fully before doing it.

Nope. It mostly uses philosophy stuff as a tool to deliver a more human, down-to-earth message, rather than give a lot of thought to those philosophical concepts.

The seriousness with which Automata handles the philosophical elements is summed up in this quote from Pascal

I can't remember which of the towers it was, but there was a line of chests circling a platform in one of the rooms, and N2 would read out why you were being rewarded for each one, like finishing a lot of android/machine requests, killing a lot of enemies, collecting a lot of items, etc.

And 9S got increasingly pissed off that the machines were just messing with him by that point.

It was actually malicious how far the terminals were willing to go to fuck with him, it's like they had a personal beef with him

I mean....the robots begging for death and crying out with pain after 9S had been mostly nice to the robot kids all game, pretending to delete his memories of 2B and then making him stab his image of her to kill the core of the box, the 21O fight, the room full of 2B models as his 'special prize'

It was pretty twisted. like they were hammering in over and over again how futile the androids struggle has been by stripping away one preconception about himself or meaningful relationship one at a time.

>pretending to delete his memories of 2B and then making him stab his image of her to kill the core of the box
Granted, that could tie into how 9S was totally losing it at that point as well, and how 9S may have been repressing qualms about what his relationship with 2B really meant.

Drakengards aren't reeeeaaallly worth playing, due to either age or just terrible performance.

You could give the first one a go and see how you like it, but their impact on your experience with Automata are slight at best.

Nier is definitely worth playing, if you have the chance though.
>>
>>171635824
You can just start with Nier. I recommend the first Nier though. Some dude did like a written let's play of the first Drakengard that was really good if you want to check that out (and find it, I forgot where it is). I used that to get ready for Drakengard 3.

This is always a dumb argument. I'm not arguing that dubs aren't ever bad. I'm not denying that the Japanese VA industry can be far more competent with direction performance than the American industry.

I'm arguing that you interface with media in a language that you understand differently than media that needs written subtitles.
Once you're familiar with the jist of something, then it's fun to really delve into the undubbed performance, but it's only fair to have the more accessible language option when you first play/watch something.


Separate topic is "localization", that can end up involving significant, or subtle but still tangible, changes and can cast a dub in a bad light purely on the basis of the script.
But in the context of Automata, that supposedly isn't as much of an issue, according to whatever unsourced interview comment that I'm thinking of.

Some corpses still have skin over their breasts, so the available evidence points to an inconclusive no.

I'm pretty sure that YoRHa was created as a morale-booster for the androids on earth and the androids established the Council of Humanity in tandem with it (technically after the YoRHa Project).

So, i just finished route A yesterday and game told me to keep playing, and so i did, and i was 9S this time.

I thought all of 4chan hated 9S. He got more than a little cringy but I was still sympathetic to him, and I felt like that was the choice the game wanted me to make.
>>
>>171638257
You don't have to repeat side quests (you get new ones though) but you do go through the story again. But if you remember, at some point in 2B's story she and 9S get separated, so it'll change up from there. It went by much faster for me playing as 9S.

They were using Yorha to gather data for further android evolution, but it was for another line of combat androids. Just like they sacrificed A2's squad in battle to gather data they used to make 2B.

Basically they would make a new line of combat units, send them into conflict, sacrifice them, and use the data collected to make better ones. Then repeat the cycle until they eventually maybe someday won the war.

You replay the story quests but with a different perspective and insight in what's going on.
The side quests you have compared as 2B still counts as completed, you can revisit the shipped quests and a few new quests for 9s

In general it feels significantly shorter than route A but you get more story

so why do the androids in this game act like they are any better then the "machines"? arent they machines themselves? Like when the robots talk and shit and the droids sperg out and go "THEY ARE JUST MACHINES HURRR". Like are they not self aware at all? Maybe im missing something but it seems kind of weird.

So, who the fuck made Yorha ? Was it androids as a last desperate attempt at saving what's left of humanity, or was it the machines, that saw the androids stopped fighting, therefore wanted to prolong the war, because of their desire for evolution ?

yes but if you recall when 9S is in their network, he mentions archives of philosphy and governments right? yet the majority of machines you encounter show no evidence of intelligence, only seeking to fight. the ones showing intelligence are ones disconnected to the network.

but if you're just going to throw a counter argument my way, then look no further at the actual aliens. if the machines can recall their image, then they'd know that 2b/9s/a2 wearing a mask doesnt actually resemble an alien.

Their motives happened to align. The Machine Network wanted more war to force machine evolution, the androids wanted more war because they were programmed to serve and protect humanity and felt like shit without humans around. Ending the war would mean the humans could return to Earth - and humanity's extinction would come to light.

>>171647575

It would appear that most of the machines hooked up to and directly controlled by the network turned into lifeless husks as the Network overmind fucked off into space.

However, the 'disconnected' (term used loosely as the Network still kept tabs on them) machines are still there and can do whatever the fuck they want. Pascal is still there watching te Ark take off, provided you wiped his sorry ass.

Apparently they ( or some of them) establish another Machine Network in the future.

It's never explained how they get the cores and who exacly know about and are involved in the YoRHa unit creation process, only that it involves machine cores. Taking down and harvesting mid-level machines could still be grunt work. But winning the war on a strategic level? Regular androids have little chance.

It was a cannon, never used because the machines decided continuing war on Earth was better.

They fucked off to space because 1. Beepy imprinted on them the urge to explore and 2. They decided they had learned all they could. So they broke the cycle.

>what's the deal with the three boxes? angelic script?

Obvious answer: all the flower, red eyes, angelic script and Cult of the Watchers shit is Drakengard pandering.
Probably bullshit answer: The influence of the Watchers crept into this world during the Shinjuku Incident, causing these manifestations.

Dunno bout the first bit but magitech is shitty now cause its essentially just normal tech using tiny bits of magical code to get shit done.
The Maso density is basically gone due to the androids cleanup efforts to make the earth safe for humans and magic IS Maso more or less.

Ex:the lazer is an actual lazer but using magic they make it solid more of less. The pellets are energy but they're using magic to keep then contained instead of just dispersing ambiently.

Your pod programs are literally Magical Programs it just activates.

Emil is the only dude rude enough to use actual magic cause he's literally comprised of Mason from QB and/or angelus so he's MADE of magic essentially.

That's not me, I was just wondering since I've see posts on Twitter and a few on /v/ when the game first came out that mentions it.
>>
>>171650885
Cause they're just the keepers and if you recall only shit with an actual soul back then could do magic. IE: weiss and half-shade Kaine. It seems only into automata did they effectively combined magic into tech programs and chips outside crazy super computers like the gestalt servers.

Well, sort of a loop. The main cast gets revived and they're free of the YoRHa/machine eternal war thing.

Basically they're free to give life another go, and what happens next is up to them.

What, no, magic os just subtler literally everything the machines do is not conventionally physically possible, that's magitech at work. Magic doesn't just go away

I don't think the game is explicitly calling you out for re-playing it (like Untertale is, for example) but that it an interesting way to look at it.

>>171651382

E is the 'good ending'. Yoko Taro tends to treat all endings as possible canon endings to base further games off of.

2B's essence chilling in the sword gave her a mental link to A2. I interpreted it as a form of self-preservation and a desire to watch over 9S, though there may be more. Interestingly enough, 2B's memories also got A2 and 9S killed. In the end 9S still dies to 2B's sword.

In ending C 9S presumably lives, as A2 cures the logic virus. She then wrecks the space cannon and dies in the process - wishing to join her friends she lost in the Pearl Harbor drop.
>>
>>171651776
Doubtful though they DID hijack our factories to make their machines and if you notice Emils memories his clones are using machine bodies.
It makes sense they might have discovered magic at the factories and just incorporated that into the machines they were turning out cause it was effective.
>>
>>171651938

That's ending D, no? That one can end with 9S getting duplicated á la SOMA

In ending C the pod airlifts him away before the Tower crumbles.

I'm honestly surprised the Androids resistance uses such shitty ineffective weapons to fight the machines.
What the fuck are bullets going to do against rounded plating?

Also I noticed that the Resistance uses really primitive looking blades too. desu there's almost no reason they should have survived this long.
>>
>>171652009
Um

The invasion was of the whole aliens or not? Because it seems that the trio will have a bunch of hacking aliens to fend off sometime in the future

>>171651948

I believe some of the android models use Sturmgewehrs.

In fact, there's plenty of references to WW2 Germany: The combat suit's Stahlhelm for one and the Flight units are called Ho229s, the same as the Horten Ho-229 proto-stealth bomber.
>>
>>171652167
Y so it literally has no connection to any of the characters or lore and nobody understands what's going on.
>>
>>171652219

Forgot to add: Automata is set in the year 11945. Just subtract one '1' and it's 1945, the latter days of WW2.

Doesn't Y destroy all life on the planet though and makes the earth completely dead?

Does anyone know how the game choose whether it will play the english or japanese version during a boss battle. I was playing with the english dub and got the japanese version of "This cannot continue" but I watched someone else play it with the english dub and they got the english version of the song.

Is it completely random?

>>171652428
All of the tracks are good, but I think the original's are more memorable in a different way.
>>
>>171652219
War to War (the track that plays during the Yorha invasion) is the closest any Nier track has sounded to German as well.

Also, what's the track that plays after you defeat Father Servo for the final time? It's the only one I can't seem to find.
>>
>>171652428
End of the Unknown is the best Tekken track for sure.
>>
>>171652428
I'm surprised that there are so many remixes of the original NieR OST. The rest is really good and comfy, but there's nothing as hype as Shadowlord in Automata's but it gets a pass because it's a much simpler story and there is no real villain
>>
I feel like a tard for having to ask this, but do transporters actually teleport you or do they just transfer your consciousness to a Yorha model in another transporter?

I must've missed dialogue somewhere

>>171652428
>"Drown in your ideals and die" - Yoko Taro

Did he?
>>
>>171652646
They transfer consciousness, which is what 9S literally says to 2B when she asks about transporters.
>>
>>171652090
>>171652215
It was aliens.
Anyway take a look at the storybook or whatever and only original Emil had his skelebody. All other Emils were heads riding robobodies.
When Emil and his army initially fucked the aliens up they decided to make machines and its known at somepoint they got their hands on our factories to do this. The same factories making the machine bodies for Emil.
Either they kept the machine head design for middle finger purposes or just because it was already a standardized or close to part which explains the Emil head shape for every machine more or less.

Beyond that the factories were making machines using magical principles to function so they might have learned about magic there or just let the factories do its thing and just reprogrammed it to make pure machines.

Aliens v Emil Emil wins.
Aliens make robots.
Robots v Emil Emil loses.
>>
>>171652646
They transfer your data to a new body. That's why they're vending machines, it's a joke.

Androids have a standardize frame so it fits in all standardized transponders.
Only the internals and some peripheries on the frame are different from model to model.
This lets you plug your actual frame into a transponder, it downloads your data to another transponder, this transponder kicks out a new frame using your specs to customize it.

Yes.

Ha!
there was a backup. Nier did no wrong. HOWEVER, Kaines unstoppable libido and rape spree actually led to her permanently shutting the works down in exchange for a young version of nier that the forest was prudent enough to make a copy of when nier visited it as a youngin'. Kaine got nier back which is why people remember him now as shit got undone technically but that did rob the system of its one and only backup. the REAL villain of Nier-Verse, and Yoko Taro-verse in general, is fucking Love.

>9S and Nier
Taro clearly said that there isn't good or bad as long the person that acts thinks he's right.
It's not Nier's fault if he started having a consciousness of its own, but by fighting for Yonah he managed to ruin a whole project.
Shadowlord is clearly as selfish as Nier, but Nier doomed a whole race, while the Shadowlord could've saved it (and let me remind you that replicants can't reproduce so they're not really a species)

9S on the other hand fought for love but he really didn't ruin anything, he was just part of a big fucking cycle that even seems to continue after ending [E]

>>171653361

Just YoRHa do use machine cores for the black boxes because they were going to be destroyed anyway, and it would be too cruel to give them a normal AI
>>
>>171653293
9shorts murderboner is as justified as Adam was with eve's

He could have hacked 2Butts to full health. Alas he didn't knew it was too late and Ass2 saved 2Butts of the red virus by murdering her
>>
>>171653389
well all YoRHa DO have human souls in them. Perhaps the lack of a true body while also having one that allows full freedom of thought allows more of the universes cold and unfeeling death radiation seep in for insight to truths better left untouched. or something.
>>
at the end of Ending [E], the pods restore the three protagonists bodies, right? But what about their memories? Did the pods save local backups of their memories up to their point of death or something?
>>
What the hell is up with A2's dash? It doesn't control like the others and she turns red at the end for some reason. Couldn't find anything in the tutorials about it.
>>
>>171653361
Only true for yorha androids

It makes some sense because one of the n clones talked about evolutionary drive and let them live to empower their growth

So yorha was a wholesome fake construct by the N clones to spare the droids of the truth while empowering their development with a side goal of doing mankind's death wish of a spiritual sucession on the Ark that would be shot to outer space
>>
>>171653609
I thought Souls were dead and the only thing they had to base off of was genome data, and the only ones to have that were the ones like A2.
All other Yorhas are using Machine cores.
Is it even known if A2 has a Black Box?

>>
Why are the robots having a race war? I don't understand this game.
>>
>>171653658
They pierced what they could together. It's my take they stalked them for that, wich possibly means 9s was remade without his murderboner on
>>
>>171653507
Your word salad confuses me.

But I think you're partially right. YoRHa androids are just machines created to look and act like normal androids but are meant to serve as "tests" for the machines to grow and evolve.

>>171653609
No, human souls are all gone. Humanity is genuinely extinct in N:A, and all life that act like humans are just emulating them.

Yeah.

>>171653704
machines absorbed a Gestalt server at some point. You know that storybook about "Shapes"? Those shapes are Gestalt data they incorporated into their cores. All YoRHa androids are technically human as are machines which is the irony of the "normal" androids war against the machines and their decision to use machine cores for YoRHa androids as being less cruel.
>>
>>171653672
It's my understanding she has a cloak or teleport field of sorts as a dodge

Nigga it's STATED in the game that all gestalts were dead and that the only thing that remained was data on the project gestalt and the replicants.

Prove it, because I played through the game and didn't get any of that. Machines and Androids are all just emulating human behavior, the point is that they emulate it so well they believe they have those emotions and thoughts. The question is whether or not that's the same thing.
>>
>>171654106
Again. Go read ALL the supplementary material. The game only states what you dig up and it therefore it only touches on the shit you manage to learn.
