They clearly balanced the game around you dying and not being able to recover your chip sets every now and then, when in reality the vast majority of people would just reload if that happens. They had to account for you doing pretty much every boss without any chips at all.
It sucks quite a lot, I like the story/setting implications of that entire mechanic but I feel the game would have been a lot better off without it

Hard. I finished the game and i didn't really grinded chips (i didn't get lucky with any diamonds either) and by the end i spent like 10 seconds for every boss.

>>173586663
I'd do that if i didn't get literally oneshotted without chips and checkpoints weren't 30 minutes ago. I only remember checkpoints being good at opera boss and in the very end and kind of bearable for adam fight, in every other bossfight it's just straight up 20-30 minutes loss (aka easy mode auto chips rush)

I'm actually kind of interested if there is anything about android genitals in the game. We know that Adam and Eve (yes, I know they're machines but same difference) aren't shown with them, but I kind of figured that was a ratings thing. While they do wear underpants because humans did, they do so because humans did it to cover up their genitalia.

Besides, we don't really see Kaine's penis in Nier 1 either, only a slight bulge (she's a grower not a shower) but the other media like the book, which are not rated by CERO/the ESRB, she's jacking off in the bushes, so it doesn't seem like Taro would shy away from that kind of thing.

They are machines, but if you've noticed, plenty of other machines (like Pascal) took on human traits. They're the next step.

Read the Machine Research Report from the game regarding the Red Girls:
http://nierautomata.wiki.fextralife.com/Machine+Research+Report

It is the end-end pretty much, but none of them are dead. The Pods rebuilt them from the data they had. The only thing we know that happens after is shown in the Emil Heads Weapon Story, pic related.

>>173587662
It's okay being an idiot (mostly) but the questions you asked were kind of so broad that it'd take a while to properly answer -- a while the game already took, because they're actually answered in the game.

Though granted, the Red Girls stuff is fairly vague and abstract, so you might not end up with a satisfactory answer in that regard, but their role in the story and how what they do affects the main characters is made clear, and that's what matters.

Maybe rewatch some cutscenes on YouTube. Stuff like Adam's speech in the Copied City, Endings D & E, and the moments A2 and 9S directly interact with the Red Girls, which they do in the Tower close to Ending C. Those might help you, in addition to poking around Unit Data and Archives.

Well, there are Engels and Marx too, Grün is a giant shmup section but counts as a boss just in that gameplay, there's Eve, and A2 & 9S at the end, and the first Emil fight is unique too, despite its second one being an Engels repeat.

Though yes, the -Shi repeats are ridiculous. I just think reducing the non-Shi ones to Adam and Simone is silly.

>>173589131
n2 was a pretty unique boss fight too, you had to defeat it by not fighting it.

on hard modes it gets harder than easier modes since you have to avoid the projectiles not to get oneshotted, and also avoid hitting them so that you don't prolong the fight unnecessarily.
>>
>>173589390
>tfw using Faith sword makes all bullets fight easy
>>
I think the Shi bosses stand out for their lack of context. I wouldn't mind them being mostly repeats if they were somehow tied into the story so that you at least derive some narrative pleasure from fighting them. But in their current state in the game, they're just random assholes who show up and you hit 'em a bunch.

Marx was good as introduction boss and engel\Grün is basically you watching a cutscene. Engel is literally "wait for next thing to happen" and grun is resident evil school of weak points: make them big and yellow.
A2 is literally nothing, 9S is cool i guess since they didn't forget that he can hack but still i didn't find it really that diffirent from other yohra member.

Not sure why i didn't include eve...he's unique in appearance, but bossfight feels so clishe and more annoying than challenging.

but that's not a victory. it's not like by doing that she would singlehandedly destroy the entire governing body, undo the millennia of brainwashing and fix the ai to remove hardcoded dependence on humans.

even if she blew herself up in some major android city and vaporized the entire place, the ones in charge would likely have backups of themselves, and then it'd just be spun into "a corrupted android infected with logic virus destroyed a city! we better double down on those damnable machines! join your near not-yorha recruitment centers now to stop this menace by joining the war!" propaganda.

you might argue she already did. her last message that you get after game completion may be just that.

not some physical explosion since that'd be pretty pointless and stupid, but a conceptual one, a truth bomb, destroying the war narrative by showing just how powerless androids really are (with machines intentionally shooting themselves in the foot not to exterminate their enemies immediately, satisfying their own reason for existence, having enemies to fight) and crashing the "humans on the moon" religion yorha+bunker were meant to establish to keep them from self doubt and despair while keeping them busy with a war they could never possibly lose, but also weren't able to win due to the enemy's overwhelming power.

They're gonna make Drakengard 4 with unused Scalebound tech first, you fucking know it. They even set up a connection already with the Cult of the Watchers tattoo on Eve.
>>
>>173591397
Honestly the major blow was already dealt by N2. Instead of continuing this stupid conflict it just fucked off, there will be no network for 400 years and for all we know new network may be peaceful. Androids are left without enemy to fight and Jackass will undoubtedly publish her report openly. Even if that won't convince majority, androids will start asking to actually see humans and eventually they will be forced to accept the world without their gods.

It's interesting that whoever created YoRHa acted through rumours at first, spreading the lie about humans across androids. But this goes both ways.

I just hope that 2B/9S/A2 will find some peaceful place to live. Maybe under Anemone's protection as she seems to be a great person and a strong leader.

It already happened before. He split his mind while fighting with Eve, one portion went to heaven from intense cuddles with 2B, another regenerated across entire machine network.
>>
>>173592025
probably. while the game didn't actually explore what happens if the same personality/memories get uploaded into two un-linked bodies, it may be what happens with that ending.

one copy of 9s's memories/soul goes off with n2 and adam+eve, while another copy is restored to live with 2b in a restored/repaired body.

as they're not networked, they're separate entities even if they're identical at the starting point.
>>
>>173592276
D\C are contradictory but i feel like C is canon because his hand is cut off and overall it fits more.
>>
>>173592414
C is fucking retarded and solves nothing. A2 destroys N2 who finally achieved new step of evolution. 9S doesn't go through his personal catharsis then probably offs himself.

Meaningless code describes this ending quite well.
>>
>>173592590
Both of those things happen before C\D. In the end she cuts off 9S hand and hacks him.
>>
>>173592590
The thing is, the core of Automata's plot revolves around meaninglessness. Both sides of the conflict fight for reasons that do not exist, evolve purely for the purpose of evolving. It keeps reinforcing the concept that any actions are ultimately futile and that the only option is to keep repeating the same endless cycle with the hope that for some reason this time it will end up different.
>>
>>173592717
Also worth noting neither of them had bloody holes in their chests and the conversation the pods have only make sense in ending C. Ending D it wouldn't add up
>>
>>173591404
What did he mean by this?
>>
>>173592991
>The thing is, the core of Automata's plot revolves around meaninglessness
Good thing that ending E brings a hope of breaking this meaninglessness.
I could agree that E is a fusion of C/D where A2 doesn't kill N2 and 9S dies on Earth deciding to not follow the Ark. But a pure C is probably the shittiest of the main endings in the game.
>>
>>173593080
I thought in the end it said "instead, it will fire and arc" and i thought "huh, an arc to moon?"
>>
>>173593079
A2 has long hair which means they are in a middle of restoration process already.
>>
>>173593164
Oh
You silly goat
>>
>>173593186
Fair point to that. However that makes seeking out the arm all the more confirming C is the canon end

>>173593249
His 2B arm was infected. It was probably the first thing they would remove from him.

I mean, 9S loses his arm no matter what.

>Still doesn't change what pod 042 states in the credits
He states that all black boxes are offline which doesn't happen on C unless 9S kills himself which is a reaching too.

wut
>>
>>173593523
2B is not in the ark. She's in the sword, which is penetrating 9S.
>>
>>173593523
How is it a reach? He loses his arm before the C/D split and now the pods are carrying his arm back. You don't even need the fact that 2B's arm was carrying the logic virus to justify them bringing his own arm back, that just makes it even more reasonable.

There's also the simple fact that 100% canon intel in the game for both 9S and A2 say he lost their standoff as it happens in Ending D.

In her damn sword. The one that's stabbing him. The sword that she said was her memories before A2 killed her. The sword that also makes A2 get parts of 2B's personality.

You've yet to explain how Ending C being canon makes sense when the game tells us D is. Are you going to exclude canon just so you can make the ending you want canon?

he doesn't look at the shuttle. he looks at the sky, after falling down and losing his strength, unable to get up anymore.

it may be another bible related reference, looking at the sky/"heaven" and going "so that's where you were. i'll be joining you soon", but it's just as likely he realizes her memories/soul are within the sword that killed him, and he finally realizes that through the contact with the sword that until now has always been in a2's possession.

their description is about how a scientist couldnt break the magical seal and they got shipped to the field as-is

essentially they are a good handwaving of saying yorha cant inspect all weapons, they dont actualy understand all of them. so the weapons the trio uses can easily contain copies of their memories.

837KB, 1497x781px
9S seeing 2B at the end of D if you stay isn't because of the sword in his chest but rather because 2B was in heaven and here's why.

The scene only plays when you choose to stay in ending D before you unlock ending E by doing C. Once you unlocked E by seeing both C and D, if you replay D and choose to stay, the scene won't play.

This is because in the just D ending, the pods don't save the androids' data, so they died.

But in D->E 9S wouldn't see 2B in heaven because she's being brought back by the pods.

Additionally, ending B of NieR proves that androids and machines also go to heaven.

>>173597491

Dragoon Lance is one of the most romantic weapon stories aside from Cruel Blood Oath openly stating 2B's feelings for 9S.

>>173597647
She's brought back by the pods after that scene. He sees her because she enters his body and then the pods bring her back. Explain 9S' Unit Data saying A2 killed him.

Is he a neet.
>>
>>173597961
My thoughts exactly
>>
>>173597961
dunno. he's not in education, he's not employed, nor training, so by definition i suppose he's as much of a neet as any hermit is/was.

he's self sustaining, and dedicating his whole existence to the thing he loves the most. forging and perfecting weapons.
>>
>>173597930
>She's brought back by the pods after that scene.
This only happens in ending D->E, in which case the scene doesn't play even if you choose to stay.

The scene where 9S looks up only plays in the just D ending.

9S' unit data saying A2 killed him applies to both ending C->E and ending D->E, since at the beginning of the credits sequence of E the pods state that all YoRHa blackboxes are offline, therefore in C->E A2 fails to save 9S and the wounds she gave him proved to be fatal.

Where did you get the idea that the scene doesn't play if you have E unlocked from? I remember picking stay after I got C and went on to do D, and I saw the scene. It took a while to find, but I also found a random YouTuber doing the same as evidence:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joa7l0HFk-4&t=4h40m43s (4h 40 minutes and 43 seconds, in case timestamps in the link fuck up.)

He sees her "in heaven" even during the D -> E course that brings her back.

Which would bring me to another point: Thematically, I don't see why we'd go back to Ending B of Nier 1 to explain him seeing 2B. The game goes out of its way to equate the YoRHa with weapons, makes it very clear that memories are basically what define a person, and shortly before 2B dies she stabs her sword into the ground saying it's her memories (just like the weapons we have give us knowledge about their owners.) A2 then getting that sword is also what gives her 2B's memories and starts shifting her personality, so I really don't get why you're reaching back to a prequel to explain 9S seeing 2B as he is impaled on her sword. The game does make it very, very clear that she basically lives on in that sword.

Not that anon, but Automata is an explicit sequel to Nier. There's no reason to assume that the universe suddenly works differently here.
>>
>>173600272
Because I played through the game 3 times now and deliberately tested it since I was interested in the circumstances necessary for the scene to play.

I've played through ending D->E several times and could not get that scene to play no matter my choice until I deleted my save, replayed up until that point and picked D first then chose to stay.

If what that video shows is true however, then I either ran into a bug or I dunno, but I'm going to get the chance to test it again soon since I'm about 3/4ths of the way on my 4th playthrough.
>>
>>173600568
I'm well aware it's a sequel. There's just no mystery that requires going back to the mythology of that game specifically. Him thinking of 2B makes perfect sense within what's established in Automata (though obviously the theme of personifying weapons isn't unique to this game in the franchise either.)

Well, all I can say is that I played on PC and when a friend was playing through it, who also went C then D, he asked me if he should pick stay or not and I told him stay would show him another scene, which he did get. I don't know what platform the guy in the video plays on (he's just a random guy I found, most videos go with leave) but it happens there too.
>>
>>173600846
D'oh, his platform is in the title. It's PS4. But in any case, it's a completely uncut video of him going through C, then D (stay) -> E with the scene showing.

I wish boss variety was better
I wish there were more locations, most of the game is just city ruins and they are ruined after early game boss, i'd take it even if existing locations were smaller - they are 60% filler space anyways.
I wish aliens were more important, at least a little bit
I wish we met Adam and Eve at least couple of times more
I wish hacker robots existed outside of assault mission
I wish the game had more checkpoints and only support\utility chips and balanced properly.

the huge gestalts didn't make much sense until the end with wendy and goose, both forming from multiple smaller gestalts.

so hook (and jack) were probably amalgamations of like minded gestalts as well. i doubt there were huge sadistic scorpions wandering around the earth in 21st century tokyo that got gestaltized for the hell of it.

Talk about misinformation. She didn't die. She was going to kill herself after killing 21S, but couldn't do it. Read Anemone's POV of the event in the game.
>>
>>173604991
a dog was gestaltized and became a gestalt in place of its dying master, taking on a shape of a wolf. not a surprising change since dogs used to be wolves before domestication, you could argue its spirit is still one of a wolf.

a giant apartment building-sized vaguely scorpion shaped chaotic abomination with a hand on its tail and multiple boobs on its chin is not the same thing.

The 14th machine war lasted through 11939-11945.

Also, this rises some additional questions - if ressistance camp is what's left from YoRHa assault 200 years earlier, why nobody mentions it during the game? Jackass and White should know each other for how long? I assumed that YoRHa and the Bunker are quite new creations especially with Pearl Harbour being only 3 years before Automata and serving as a field test (so now it would look like field test for Black Boxes or other shit). Automata seriously lacks a decent timeline graph and some details about the world because looking outside the game alone some stuff just doesn't add up.

The resistance camp is not YoRHa.
You have to remember that YoRHa is not a big part of the android fighting force. They are only have one orbital satellite base for themselves, the Bunker, out of 13 and that was recently constructed in 11938 and became operational in 11940.
Anyways what point would there be to mention the age of resistance camp. Some of the androids there are probably older or younger than Anemone as well. Also Anemone's group from the play is specifically from the 8th Descent.
The resistance camp in game is not the group she was with in the play.
I also don't think it's important to know how long Jackass and and White know each other, all we need to know is that they're rather good friends from before the 14th Machine War.

Taro is literally a guy who makes entire games off the joke endings of a previous game.

so any new game set in nier world would likely be related to endings cd+e.

but on a more serious note, didn't it strike anyone as odd that a machine not in combat was able to learn not to jump? Considering there's that whole deal with machines always failing in the same manner, it's strange that taro allowed the player to succeed at all in oiling his brother

They were designed to put a show. To demonstrate that humanity is still around. Looking hot as fuck and being stylish in battle is all a part of propaganda.

2B is a special case though. She and redhead E are some of the most beautiful girls in the game aside from Commander.

Strict in her commands, she shows little emotion out in the open, but her worries over 2B and 9S are apparent. Has a tendency to be careless with her own personal effects; her room is in such a clutter that other personnel are prohibited from entering it.

It's interesting to think about. She would have to have the capacity to accept data streams from 10+ Operators while simultaneously monitoring her own chosen custom data streams. She would also have to weigh the success and failure of multiple different separate operations against each other at any given moment.

Amazing she can do all of that over wifi.

why would there be more yorhas? their goal was to create the lie that humans still exist, then get destroyed and never mentioned again so the lie was perfect.

making yet another bunker/yorhas would put that into jeopardy.

If you're playing on hard, switch to normal for the fight. If you're playing on normal, git gud because she is a piece of cake on normal with no chips.

You're early enough in the game that your chips were probably trash anyway, you'll be finding better chips than those on the ground a few hours from now

That depends a lot on your philosophical stance. Keep in mind, the idea that life doesn't have preordained meaning is what so royally fucked up both the androids and the machines in the first place. We have no idea how much they will enjoy life after that realization.

(Personally I actually do think of it as a happy ending, but if you're opposed to the idea of happy endings there's certainly enough evidence that it might not be so happy after all I'd think you could be satisfied.)

They were literally hardcoded to act in conjunction with each other. Even so, they still have interests outside of each other.

If you've missed it, theme of love between androids that is so strong that it causes other halves to go absolutely bonkers if they are left alone is one of the central for the side quests you encounter throughout the game. Nobody says that they won't have their own hobbies or will fail to find their place in life. But 2B and 9S both rely on each other for support probably harder than Devola and Popola and programming doesn't have to do jack shit with it.

See that's hitting some serious subjective issues here. Pragmatically the characters and story of Nier is about the same level and what we are walking into is what a person relates to best.
>>
>>173625381
The cast of Nier wear their emotions on their sleeve. The cast of Automata, in contrast, hide pretty much everything about themselves and you mostly only see their surface feelings, which makes them come off as shallow.

>a question was ask I gave a possible answer I never said it was outright was the right answer.
Exactly as I did, yet you felt the need to claim that we were only then getting into subjective territory, even though my answer was actually less subjective than yours - likeability is subjective, but there's no arguing that Nier's story was more intimate or that it's cast was more colorful.
You are just as defensive. You just aren't honest about it.
>>
>>173626062
I enjoyed that fight and the Simone fight for different reasons. You have to admit, it's kinda lame to fight (pretty much) the same boss 4 times in a row. It got me wistful for the early game fights that were so unique.
>>
>>173626593
it's a worse, less interesting explanation than simply "9s is special"

there was something special about him that resulted in repeatedly finding out the truth, but they needed to keep him around because they needed advanced shit like him to deal with the machines evolving into bizarre nonsense like Adam and Eve.

Doesn't explain a lot, but it's better than "for some reason they used the same personality base as A4, a unit who -failed- her mission, and who isn't even in the game, just a shit stage play"

I've read the stage play and I really don't see much correlation. I agree that it's far from the dumbest thing I've seen around here, but it's still fuckin' dumb
>>
>>173627002
Part of A2's success can arguably be attributed to her connection to A4. It makes sense that they would pair an A2-based unit with an A4-based unit.

Prehapes we are coming from diffrent angles. I purposed nostalgia becuase both seem about on par so prehapes first experiences (hence the first time comparison) would effect opinion. I feel your stance is running into a hairy mess becuase what's the bar between the two? Both have similar tradgity and narratives of hopelessness/life's meaning, with the only standing diffrance being one game they try to hide the pain where the other they broadcast it. To me it makes it hard to accept a claim that either is better than the other.

WAIT
That sidequest where you hunted down the traitor squadron and its leader, what the fuck were they talking about?
Was it just the same shit when A2 said we dont know anything? Or were they on some other shit?

even if that's true, it doesn't somehow mean that A4 has her personality. The sword memories are more like a diary than anything else. It's not a full personality backup, or 11B's sword would've been more important to the person who sent you to fetch it.

Who knows what that means, though? Combat capability-wise, sure. But despite them both being bitches who hard a hard life, I don't think A2 and 2B have that much in common

I thought it was implied that N2 and N2's systems were subtly influencing all sorts of events for the sake of evolutionary data.

Yes, they were... on earth, with the machines. And they influenced stuff like 9S' experiences, toying with him, and stuff.

But N2 would've had no way of deciding which Androids got produced for porject YorHa and stuff like that...

Colorful doesn't literally mean the color palette used for the characters. It's a figurative term.

I read them all, stinky. I know 2B is based on A2. But once all is said and done, they're very different people.

For example, 2B is actually an interesting character once you have the added context from route C, whereas A2 is boring as fuck even if you've read the stageplay
>>
>>173630187
I see, I will try that eventually
>>
>>173623362
I think a lot of this has to do with the music.

Automata is extremely good at hitting emotional beats with its dynamic music.

Ex: The reason I broke down crying in Ending E was when the Choir kicked in and I knew it was Taro and the Dev team cheering for me even as I blew up their names.

Many people are very sympathetic to auditory emotional cues and the score is extremely good at invoking them.
>>
>>173630254
That has nothing to do with their personalities.
>>
>>173630254
>whereas A2 is boring as fuck
say that to her face
>>
>>173630254
They just had a vastly different experience. A2 lost a person she was close to very early and wandered alone with nothing but her hatred to machines and YoRHa. 2B was forced to repeatedly backstab a person she loves but he still influenced her all 3 years so of course she developed more through intense suffering.

Man you know when you feel like "I should be crying right now, I would normally cry at this moment, I really want to cry I'm really feeling something so why the fuck am I not crying? Did I break somewhere?" During many moments of the game specially the ending. I don't know what happened to me, not the first time I felt like I should, I felt like I wanted but I didn't and I felt bad cause it felt like the ending was wasted on me. Which is not to say it didn't affect me, it made me very happy for the whole week after that, but I don't know I just felt wrong
>>
>>173630321
I dunno, I think Nier's use of music was just as strong in most cases, and some of the sidequest ending music felt unintentionally jarring in N:A.

The use of repetition in Nier also helped build upon prior experiences to compound the effect. Every time Emil - Sacrifice plays, it feels like its emotional burden becomes heavier.
>>
So I made the mistake of going into an Automata thread on /v/ and got drawn into a big stupid argument about magitech and the nature of magic in this universe that left a bad taste in my mouth.

The Pods are basically using reversed engineered magic, right? They were able to find what made the magic spells work and put them into Pods and swords and transparent stools to sit on while you fish, right?

They both did well on both of those respects. If anything it's a tribute to how Keiichi Okabe is a god among men.

They heavily share the repetition point as well, although Automata liked to focus most of its repetition in the gameplay and story path. But any time Vague Hope plays? Oh boy here we go again.

I felt like this about the entire story. Like all the supposedly impactful moments were deflecting off me not really reaching my core.

I just played a 30 hour game and the most moving moment is a credits minigame?

Don't get me wrong, I loved N:A's soundtrack and how it was used for the most part. I just don't think it's particularly more effective than Nier's.

I would have much fonder memories of Vague Hope if they saved 9S' ressurection for the end of route B. It's a very powerful song that deserved to have its own big moment without having the wind taken out of its sails immediately afterward.

I disagree. Ending D is him finally attaining clarity. His perspective is completely different from that of the rest of the game.

Allowing himself to be left behind as a form of atonement, or leaving because he realizes that he and the machines were both the playthings of fiends - both are reasonable, but the latter represents true clarity.

>Yoko Taro, Director: I believe that E was essentially the happy ending. This is the first time I’ve taken on this kind of challenge. I actually didn’t come up with the happy ending initially when creating and developing this game. I kind of left that off to the side for a very long time and continued to work on some of the other aspects of the game. As I developed all of the characters’ journeys, I started thinking about what would be the most fitting ending for all of those characters, and that resulted in the E ending.

>It’s not something that I desired, but I believe, in the world of writing, the characters move toward that ending themselves, and they directed me to write toward that end. In the end, it’s probably what the characters had hoped for – what they would have desired.

>That happens quite a lot, with the characters figuring out for themselves what comes next in terms of their own stories.

I think that would be the best, but it's kind of iffy.

I think Automata has moved Taro up into the world of big budget big name developers. Or at least higher towards it. He might be able to blackmail/annoy them into getting a certain amount of freedom, but I bet there will be conditionals on it. And having a franchise name to tack on for built in sales always popular for publishers.

Especially Squeenix. Those guys are super franchise hungry.

I just don't want any more fanservice references. Nier and Drakengard 3 only referenced Drakengard when it was directly relevant. Automata is full of references that don't add anything to the story other than distractions.

The game would benefit immensely from removing all of the Watcher stuff.

it still doesn't matter. d > leave means the 9s at that moment transfers his memories/consciousness to the ark and leaves, while his empty shell shuts down. d > stay means he doesn't, and so when his shell shuts down his consciousness vanishes/disperses completely.

later the pods restore him from the last backup they had of him, until right before he left/faded out.

it's probably not the exact same consciousness as the one that died, that one's story ended, either onboard an ark or dying.

Ending E literally can't show them waking up. If they woke up in game, they would still be under the control of God (Taro and other devs) and everything would have been for nothing.

FAR fix:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/524220/discussions/0/135512104777399045/
Fixes the following:
>Full screen resolution bug
>Global Illumination FPS boost. A value of 48(multiples of 16) is the lowest you can go before you start noticing visual oddities but lower is necessary for 60fps on toasters. Everyone should lower this.
>FMV stutter
>Low resolution bloom and AO + toggle
It's still a WIP mod.

>Improving graphics further

Taro may use Emil as a "fiction suit" to dive down into his own narrative (Grant Morrison talks about doing this with The Invisibles and Batman), but I don't think the character is meant to pull from Taro any more than the other characters.

Meh. The most interesting part about humanity is the built up history, culture and knowledge. And you don't need actual humans to preserve that, androids will do fine. Maybe change their base goals from "serving Humanity" to something more fun though, although I'm not sure what. Humanity's core goal is sustaining the species itself via procreation which is not terribly interesting either.

>>173639532
Another fun interpretation of that statement is that the "god" who causes the next cycle of life and death is the player himself. If he didn't start a new game they wouldn't have to live and die again.

Makes for a pretty interesting start of the game, with the main character wanting to kill the player.

I think she was happy to see him one last time, but also sad that he had to see her like that.
The way English 2B delivered the line was perfect and it was her best performance in the game. I didn't play in Japanese so I can't compare it.

Thinking back, that was my favorite scene, at least until 9S lost his shit.

It's pretty good in Japanese, but 2B's Japanese VA is better in general than English one
her coldness has a hint of melancholy and deeply hidden love and care in it, while in english she's mostly just cold and then gets emotional in some scenes

you can do that for sidequests later. be gone anon, we will be here with a shoulder to cry on when you are done

Yes. It is indeed a video game.
>>
>>173643635
the experience is literally based on you controlling the characters and becoming involved in their stories through your own feeling of responsibility to see it all to the end
watching a playthrough ruins the whole experience, deprives it of its best qualities

Entire course of actions 2B takes after Bunker destruction made me respect and love her as a character
>the moment shithole forcing her to kill the boy she loves goes in flames she decides to become a decoy for him, fully understanding that it's a suicide
>leaves him her last message telling him everything she feels about him and his role in her life
>even on a verge of death thinks about him
>feels both relieved and sad by seeing her just before her life ends, dying while saying his preferred alias

Where do I farm money?
I had over 1 million, but buying and upgrading weapons, chips and pods made me poor.

I'm interested in playing this but I haven't played Nier and Drakengaurd before. Are they important enough to play beforehand?

Buy Thick Dictionaries from the clown merchant in the Amusement Park on Routes A or B and then sell them back to him on Route C. They sell for more on Route C than you buy them for on A/B. A stack sells for around 1 Million.

You should play them since they're great, but they aren't essential. You'll miss out on some references and fanservice, but those aren't required to enjoy the game.

If anything pretty much only the original NieR is
highly recommenced but not necessary to play before Automata.

A2 will be busy with 042 after forcefully transferring him into the first android body she can find.

Poor A2 she truly got the worst fate in the game

How do I get the extra scene in route c where 9S buries 2B? I did the lunar tear quest; is there anything else I need to do?
>>
>>173645229
You have to do the Gathering Keepsakes quest from an android in the resistance camp in Route C.
>>

There should be a guy in the resistance camp who starts a quest called Gathering Keepsakes.

She lost her beloved but she still has a family and got close to 042, that's more than most androids can say.
Besides, Anemone is still around. Pascal too if you spared him. She is surrounded with people she cares about. At some point she will let go of the past and look forward as she's a strong person.
>>
>>173645829
What's the point of anything in their new lives? They literally have no purpose anymore lol
>>
>>173646134
They never had it in the first place it was all a farce lol
>>173646105
Now that's something I was wondering, if Pascal was spared if they would try to still befriend him and help him if he decides to do the same things he did before the memory wipe

They can straight tell him what he did. It will cause him grief, but not as deep as if he was living with his previous memories. But it will also spark his further development so he may end up avoiding the same mistake twice.
>>
>>173646239
But they had the illusion of purpose. That was enough to drive them forward despite soul-crushing trauma and loss.

i was so fucking disappointed when debug mode didn't make pascal indestructible so i could wail on his stupid face for an hour straight with my pipe

They never had any in the first place. Neither did the machines. The core theme of the game is how lack of purpose causes futile cyclical behaviour where the only choice is to repeat the same hoping for a small chance that this time something different happens.

Now what this something is? The game doesn't actually tell you. But isn't that actually a nice thing? It means you can find your own purpose.

She does not need a scanner model, she has Anemone.

Isn't that Yonah?

A lie will remain a lie.
If they ever hope to stand on their own feet they need a rough awakening. God is dead. There's no purpose save for what you can find for yourself. N2 evolved and i don't see why androids can't. Some will suicide, some rebellions will spark around, but it's inevitable and something better can be born from it.
>>
>>173646845
Wasn't Yonah the back-up? I think there was a document that you get in the library where is says that the back-up (Yonah) got very shitty kidneys.
>>
Guys guys we need a new thread
>>
>>173646845
Nier was the original Gestalt, and I'm not sure I would call Yonah's reunification a success, since she could feel Replicant Yonah's pain inside of her.
>>
>>173646741
>They never had any in the first place
The entire purpose of YoRHa was to provide the illusion of purpose. Many androids were fooled by this illusion and believed that it was their true purpose.

How is believing in your purpose different from having a "real" purpose?

>>173646903
>A lie will remain a lie
A meaningless cynical platitude. Things aren't objectively truth or false. You can't retroactively remove YoRHa's purpose because you found out it was false after the fact.
>>
>>173647271
But Nier didn't reunite with Shadowlord at all right?

Did A2 peel off her skin herself in the shape of a hotpants+g-strings and a tubetop? Or was she built that way?

Correct.

There are two possible interpretations of "first successful example of the Gestalt process" - 1) first stable Gestalt or 2) first successful completion of the whole process(reunification).

If it's 1, then it's Nier. If it's 2, then it's neither Nier nor Yonah.
