>"Commander in charge of YoRHa. Consequently is privy to a myriad of top-secret information. She is the only android within the Bunker that is not a YoRHa model. 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. Seems to have a connection with a past military operation involving A2."

So I'm one of those assholes who didn't know this series existed before playing Nier Automata, and now I'm curious:

How much of Nier Automata is influenced by Square, and how much was Platinum Games or Taro?

I'm noticing a lot of... well honestly awful sidequests around the mid-point of the game, and it reminds me of a lot of the typical mind-numbing fetch quest stuff in most final fantasy or kingdom hearts games and seems completely out of character for the rest of the series. Especially since that sort of reliance on rpg tropes isn't present in the rest of the main story. Is this common in other Taro games?

I really love the way the story is told and the combat and upgrade mechanics of Nier: Automata, but these sidequests and some of the minor characters are really breaking the immersion.

I can understand not liking the objectives of the side quests but the details, dialogue, and narratives the side quests have if anything should attach you more to the world.
As for side quests being fetching and the like, that's always been there and it was worse before. Well Square has always been the publisher for the games but I think it's the fault of all three in general either way.
>>
>>173652000
Check the pastebin in the OP.
>>
>>173651989
Any sidequests in particular? Most zones have multiple entrances and exits. I had a lot of fun stringing together sidequests and objectives along back routes and shortcuts. Try to keep fast traveling to a minimum.

I mean just think of how many different frames you have floating around out there, just collecting dust inside save points. What a waste.

Did White know that serving on the bunker was basically a death sentence from the start, since it was always going to be disposed of in that fashion?

>>173652664
No. She did not have SS clearance so she did not know.
>>
>>173652664
Nope.

>>173652664
No, that part was classified. She knew that Humanity was a lie but not that she was a sacrificial lamb to make the lie convincing.

The sidequests pulled me in further. There are sidequests like the Amnesia or The Wandering Couple ones that are more or less a mirror of the plot, but there are also those where you're just helping random people like the villagers or funny stuff like the Romeos and Juliets quest and the Game Maker one, in addition to those that form their own little stories like the Sartre or Engels ones.

I'd agree that in raw gameplay they tend to be rather homogeneous, because they all more or less boil down to hunting and gathering, but taken as a whole, not just the base activity to complete them, I still liked them a lot for fleshing out the world/narrative.

>>173651989
I thought they were fabulous. Best side quests overall in any game I've played. Only a couple of them were annoying, and only because the desert music didn't stand up with repetition as much as the other zone themes. except that scanning quest, that was pretty terrible

I went back and played the original Nier and the good/bad ratio in that one was reversed.

Oh god, yes. I ended up looking for the locations on YouTube because I got tired of randomly walking about the damn desert. It didn't help that there are a bunch of items not related to the quest that always disappointed me when my scanner picked something up.

And all just for a little nod to Nier 1, which you see coming from lightyears away.

Speed stars, the box moving quest, Jean-Paul's melancholy, photographs, the various item fetch-quests.

These are all quests that I've played (and didn't enjoy) in prior JRPGs, and this game does them identically, but the spin here is at the end the characters do the exact opposite of what is expected (like the speed stars guy blowing himself up, I took that as meaning that the writers didn't like the quests but found a way to put tongue-in-cheek subversions on them.

Granted, I'm not finished with the game (just got to flooded city) so I'm hoping that this was the bulk of them and the rest of the game will return to normal. The unique sidequests that have to do with the actual plot/world (like the revenge one, or the Yorha deserters) were all pretty great.

Not much, actually. The model is great, but it's not even rigged for posing and I'm still too shit to do anything. I've bought a udemy course to learn modelling and animation a few weeks ago and I've been working my way through it and thought I'd pass the time looking at some Toobies.

The Speed Star quests are bullshit. I got the first 2 then lost interest. The box moving quest is the only other kinda bullshit one, but those others you listed are great. Again, I didn't mind trekking back to those areas because I knew I could always approach it from a different area.

also is there any reason to keep around machine cores besides for the selling increase you get later on in the game. Doesn't a quest trigger that or something? or are some needed for a quest?

Besides, I've yet to see 2B Honey Select stuff rival what, for example, likkezg are doing in Blender. It could exist, if it does hit a brother up, but it's not like it's impossible to make great stuff in Blender and likkezg is releasing his model soon.

Killifish
>A small freshwater fish, roughly an inch long. Because of its size, it often ends up getting tangled up inside machine lifeforms that venture into water, causing all kings of interesting maifunctions. This led to attempts by androids to use the killfish as a weapon, but its military use was never approved-mostly due to angry demonstrations by android killifish fanatics, many of who like to keep them as pets. Unfortunately for the killifish, they lack the same kind of determined lobbying.

Killifish Machine:
>A machine lifeform resembling a killifish. Due to its wondrous appearance, some killifish fanatcis among YoRHa soldiers have started keeping these creatures as pets, to the frustrstion and confusion of their commanders.

I was never actually sure how strict that rule is. I figured 2B was insisting on it initially because she wanted to avoid getting too close to 9S. I'm aware The Memory Cage references that rule without 2B invoking it, so it's definitely a thing, but I see little indication of it being enforced besides the two (?) times 2B does so to keep her distance.

>>173665390
It is, but she's also the only one really invoking that rule, and only towards 9S. It's not like she told 6O to fuck off about her fee fees when she called her crying, and I don't remember anyone else citing that rule. That's what I mean by me not knowing how strict it actually is.

By the way, from The Memory Cage:
>The narrative here explains that it was probably due to a failed squadron that later YoRHa androids were instructed to suppress their emotions. 2B believes, for all intents and purposes as battle type androids, emotions are not necessary… especially for herself.
http://nier2.com/blog/2017/03/07/nierautomata-world-guide-novellas/

From this I figured it was basically something set up after emotions bungled up a mission, but that's all we know about it, I think.

It's fairly deep and you should probably leave this thread because we spoil shit left and right. Just know that Ending A isn't the actual ending and it only goes deeper from here on out.

You should also read the intel archives and probably unit data you pick up, in addition to diligent sidequesting. Those flesh out the lore/narrative a lot.

I vaguely remember her telling him to keep his emotions in check at one spot, yeah. But all I found just now was her telling him to stop all the personal chatter and that line about flattery being unnecessary.

But even so, that's yet another unit who invokes that rule and absolutely fails at it. So among all the other YoRHa units very clearly expressing emotions of some sort, like 6O having affection for other ladies, 16D showing schadenfreude because 11B died after she bullied her, the other E-Unit feeling guilt about murdering her friends and snapping, and small things like pic related, I'm really not getting the impression the "Emotions are prohibited" rule is enforced or commonly adhered to in any way.

Maybe I read it in an archive.

The way I see it is that emotions are frowned on, but 2B and 21O take it further than that because of their unique situation.

I'm fairly sure she says it at some point, but my memory might be fucking up too. And yeah, both 21O and 2B are in unique positions that give that rule more relevance than for other units.

I do wonder what event brought about that rule or stigma. Like I quoted earlier >>173665653, The Memory Cage just hints at some precedent, but I don't think we're ever given any more info.

2B: I can tell somethings inside them, but it hardly impedes my ability to move, so…
9S: Don’t you hate how the sand sloshes around in your shoes like that!? Even if you can still walk fine, doesn’t it feel horrible?
2B: Emotions are forbidden.
9S: Aaaaaaaaaalright.

Alright anons I've done most of the endings including A,B,C, and I'm about to do D.

I've done 89 percent of side quests and can't find any more besides the "collect all unit data" one, I'm only missing a couple weapons.

I hear there's some secret boss fight against Emil, last thing I remember doing with him was going underground to Kaine's little house thing with all the lunar tears

The guides are too long and confusing and inconsistent, what should I do next to finish all sidequests, get all weapons, and all endings?
>>
>>173686139
To get the Emil fight you need to upgrade all weapons to level 4, so you might want to get started on that
>>
>>173686139
Did you do the one where you get flowers for 6O? That's one people tend to miss. Otherwise, the easiest way would be to check which quests you've cleared on your save and comparing it to the list here:

http://nierautomata.wiki.fextralife.com/Side+Quests

If this lists a quest you haven't cleared, it's probably worth looking into. There's some stuff that will act weirdly, like that quest where A2 has to kill a machine in Pascal's village, which are tied to the main story and tend to reset according to what chapter you're on and won't show up in the subquest list as cleared.

I don't think you'll get 100% subquests with just the Emil Fight and that Unit Data quest, so if you can pinpoint what exactly you're missing, it would help a lot.

you're thinking of a drakengard ending. nier series had pretty good ends for the main characters.

nier is revived and spends the rest of his days with kaine and emil in the true ending e.

The Old World information you pick up pretty much confirms that the setting of the game is post-apocalyptic Japan, but what's with the European medieval castle?

The only difference between weapon movesets is the number of lights and heavies you can string, otherwise they're all the same but you do get different passive abilities for them after upgrading them.

One small sword in particular will change your dodge animation and give you a unique moveset once maxed out, as well as changing the damage value look.

So is Nier Automata a prequel game to the whole series?

Biomachines being Watchers and shit. I've seen pretty wild theories already that don't even make much sense like red robo eyes are an indication of the red eye decease that was actually caused by bro-One or Adam's tattoo being identical to One's cult of watchers that was actually indicating both Ones hugging each other but who fucking cares right? And of course an Ark is going into space through time and dimensions to somehow land into Drakengard's world to become Cathedral city.

At this point I wonder if fans are far more retarded than Yoko Taro expected them to be and does he actually give a shit about his lore as much as his fans do.

It's not my shit and I'm just quoting people who make that crap.

Like

Whenever Eve wants to make a large display of power, he screams VERY loudly. And yes, lots of characters in this game yell when straining, but remember that Eve's very first act is to bring the building he's in down with a single shout.

Trying to figure out why this stood out to me so much, I realized that it's because this franchise has special characters who derive power from sounds; Intoners. And while at first I discounted this idea because the other Intoners we've seen rely specifically on songs, it makes sense that a machine Intoner trying desperately to emulate humans would instead use primal screams; even Popola and Devola, androids that are much closer to being real humans, remark on the fact that they're unable to create new music and can only repeat songs they already know.

If you view Eve as an Intoner, you start to see more parallels. See, it's clear that the Gods have as much disdain for the humans of this dimension as the ones of Drakengard since the minute maso particles leak over they use it as a means to try and eradicate everyone. The question, then, is why the gods made no attempt prior to this at killing off the humans. My totally unsubstantiated guess? That maso in massive quantities is needed for them or the Watchers to interact with our world. Since the world of Drakengard already seems to have enough for magic to be commonplace, the gods were able to send The Flower to initiate events there.

Or

Ko-shi and ro-shi are the watchers, not the CULT of the watchers, these two are the watchers themselves. they're the big scary force that's been terrorizing the drakengard universe AND the primary reason the android accord models were dispatched to oversee the crucial juncture that would end up creating a cult dedicated to them.

Originally in drakengard 3, zero went on a murder spree to kill her sisters, she succeeds but one creates a brother for herself, who is in every way shape and form one, but a male, this male one and his sister would end up being the template for the symbol of the watchers, being the same being, separate but joined.

My theory is this, drakengard and nier are caught in a multidimensional time-loop, the events of nier and subsequently nier automata end up creating the prototype grotesqueries and the watchers in the form of ko-shi and ro-shi, these would later evolve due to the continuation of the machine wars, or perhaps there was a backup pair somewhere that the androids didn't catch in time, whatever the case the machine life-forms and their network continued evolving to the point where they became something eerily similar to life, they could infect life-forms with their bodies and force them into the network of their own free will, leading to a similar effect to redeyes syndrome.

So what I believe happened can be boiled down to this

after the 14th machine war 2b, 9s and a2 work together to give the androids a new purpose, uncover the truth behind the WCS at any cost. time passes, machine life-forms and androids live in relative peace, but not as peaceful as they'd like, some conflicts continue.

And even

NieR: Automata is the actual start for everything.

Let me explain. From the start and how I got this idea.

There are multiple ways to think about time but the most popular is the multiple worlds theory. That would mean that timelines are separated and have nothing to do with each other. But I don’t think this is the case with Drakengard and NieR. What I suspect is that the Cathedral City we see in Drakengard is nothing more than one of the many cities from the far future of NieR: Automata. I suspect that this is a cycle. That what has happened cannot be undone. Heck, even if there are multiple timelines that are separated, there would have to be one where things end up in a cycle.

That is my suspicion. And let me bring more evidence about it. That NieR: Automata is the birthplace of the Watchers and that this is the true beginning of the series.

First and foremost is the symbol of the Watchers on Eve’s chest. What I suspect is that at the time of NieR: Automata the influence of the Watchers from the Drakengard universe is long gone as the humans are all dead.

There is also a presumption that the Watchers are still there and the logic virus that turns everyone’s eyes red is because of their influence. That I guess is just bullshit. It was made that way though to give a hint.

And of course this one:
adam is created by the machines / Birthscene. After his death, he replicates himself (adam & eve). Same replication process as Zero's in DG3. So the "flower" in Zero's case are the machines in Adam's case (it's in his "genes" to replicate himself)

aliens brought the new element to earth, not on purpose, but just becuase they are from somewhere else. It's not magic, just from outer space!

the machines constructed the first twin-sytem (red girls), they were the very first watchers. that's what eve's tattoo shows.

the machines create the "red eye army" fo the first time in NA (NierAutomata). Yorha and machines have the same red eyes as the soldies in DG1.

Accord in DG3 seems to use a time travel mechanic. Maybe she's one of the androids who worked on sending the city back in time. Now these andorids see that they fucked up and try to find the "right" time branch to fix the mess.

The logic virus evolved to infect humans in order to spread. that's how zero got infected.

Adam calls the aliens "plants", that's a hint towards the aliens/flower origin connection.

I have no idea about the dragons' origins, but maybe they were created by androids, as they are the anti-virus to the red girls' code. As only dragons can destroy zero and/or the flower.

my timeline would ne: NA - DG3 - DG1 - (DG2) - Nier - NA - DG3 and so on

in short: the whole magic and gods stuff in DG1 to DG3 is just highly advanced code, in a mixture of alien technology and machine created lifeforms (like Adam and Eve).

maybe this is why Project Gestalt worked in the first place, because humans at that time weren't humans anymore, but as a result of the intermixing between androids, machines and code from the futute they were already half-machine. That's why separating mind from body was even possible.

>>173698570
Automata takes place in our universe, a universe separate from the Drakengard universe. If Intoners are manifestations of the universe meant to reset things, I guess it's possible that Adam and Eve were the first expressions of that function in this universe.

>>173698663
>drakengard and nier are caught in a multidimensional time-loop

I did manage to get to online business development solo. General strat was to take out the small names first, then go to the same horizontal level as the big name and on the opposite side, since the danmaku is least dense there. The problem though is that if you don't beat the big name before it bounces off the far side and gets back to you, the the density spikes pretty dramatically, so your best option is to try and swing below, though it's not easy.

Do you think the same?
Isn't it already cliche to expect a worse outcome thinking that you somehow know more about the author and his motives than the other fools who think that the happy end is actually happy?

Swiggity swata! Gotta git that data!

It could be explained as an effect of how the machine network is structured and what kind of access rights the machine network would have on individual machines. N2 probably had backdoors in a few villagers, but left the majority unaltered as to not arouse suspicion and to maintain a certain rate of objectivity.

I believe that N2 would never allow a group of machine secessionists to operate in her territory uncontested. The risk of them spreading their ideology to other machines would be a threat to the integrity of the Network. The only reason why N2 wouldn't stomp them out quickly is if N2 still felt she could control them surreptitiously and mine them for data.

what if the cathedral city is remains of the wcs ground zero from the original nier's prologue?

before nier there's a thing where dev+pop and replicants use a 'ritual' to send the remaining watcher maso to another dimension in order to purge the wcs and legion once and for all, which allows for project gestalt to enter its final phase.

what if they sent more than just the maso? what if they had to wall it in to prevent any of it from escaping, so they dumped it into the ruins of a city behind rebuilt walls, and then sent the entire part of the city along with its wcs contents, and that part of the city ended up being the cathedral city?

only problem is that queen's maso wasn't causing an immediate apocalypse in the drakengard world, but it had those anti watcher seals. maybe they purged the watcher maso while the city was entering their dimension.

Everyone is already convinced humanity exists.
But there is still evidence and a few people in the YoRHa organization that know the truth and sometimes people find out because of it..
Eliminating YoRHa ties up any loose knots in their deception.
The Next Generation Combat Unit Project for example will have a Commander who knows nothing of humanity's extinction nor will their main server have any trace alluding to it.

How is that closing the loop, how can simple space travel automatically imply that they somehow managed to go through dimensions back in time into Drakengard world?

Also Adam's tattoo makes little sense because it cannot have connection to the actual founder of watchers cult - One(male). And that tattoo obviously shows both Ones together.
How can you even explain it?

The entire Nier world is contaminated by Drakengard world bullshit (Maso). It's possible that Maso is mutating this reality to become more like the one it's originally from. Adam and Eve are probably the Nier universe's first attempt at creating Intoners.

But all of that is unique to the Nier universe. Drakengard universe is in the past. It's only relevance to the story is the origin of Maso and WCS.

But watchers really wanted to destroy humanity as well as dethroned holy dragons. Biomachines on the other hand really wanted to learn about humans and even mimicked them as well as possessed ghost of humanity, by any means they were not some crazies who wanted to eat time and shit.

>>
>>173705532
I guess if we're traveling between universes we might as well travel through time, but it makes whats happening feel a little less special if literally everything is interconnected.

I'm starting to prefer the idea that universes can get sick like any other biological entity and that Maso is a disease that propagates between universes. Most of the story elements in Drakengard were manifestations of that universe's sickness and Caim infected Nier's universe at the end of Drakengard.

The 2E model was made to watch 9S and kill/incapacitate him if he ever found out the truth behind Project Yorha. It is most pertinent to the subplot of their relationship, not necessarily the main storyline.

Did you not read or listen to any of the dialogue? You saved them from a complete memory wipe and the pods were gathering up parts to rebuild them so they could start moving again

honestly from my perspective it might be something similar. I think the cathedral city might be part of some even greater interdimensional force, and the flower and watchers is like just one drop in the bucket. And accords are just like a g-man type entity that takes care of all the problems that are so severe that they could threaten the entire multiverse. and obviously she's just in nier automata to monitor that such an eventuality doesn't occur. I don't think the nier accord is some predecessor.

well I think one of the great parts about drakengard is that it can go so depressingly low without feeling stupid and inorganic(certainly strange, and even silly, but not "artificial").

these 3 are the toppest 3 warriors in that god forsaken planet. 2B gunned down 4 flight units by herself, 9S hacked everything even his waifu, A2 has been soloing machines and yorha E type droids for god knows how long.

then the final battle happens. as tragic as it is of hilarious, 2B asks A2 to not kill 9S, wich is enraged after being deathstruck, accidentaly impaling himself on her sword.

they all die in such a way that would make juliet and romeo feel cucked. wait, what

So what's this about 2B killing 9S several times? It confused me when they started talking about it but she only kills him one time in the game, no? Two if you count ending A and B separately.

2B is a unit made to watch over 9s and dispatch him if he ever finds out about yorha secrets. Shes been killin him over and over since before the game started

The security WAS good, it's just that the 9S models are the best fucking hackers in existence and they knew that if one got curious they'd find everything. That's WHY they constantly put 2B (2E) with 9S (and I assume the same goes for anay other 9S models), as a information security measure to prevent leaks.

Bruh, in a arms race the offensive side is almost always better off than the defensive one.
>>
>>173734190
It doesn't quite work that way. Think of it this way: You can design a machine that's designed to design a machine better than itself at designing machines better than itself. If you're the first machine, you know you suck at some job, say hacking and scanning and that sort of shit so you design a better one. But then that machine can realize it has some flaws as well, and submit to R&D suggestions for the next wave, etc.

Now, as the first machine, you have some information that has to remain secret, but now you've designed a bunch of machines that threaten that secret- you still NEED them, because their abilities are required to fight your enemy, but those abilities just so happen to be far superior to your own ability to protect those secrets. The only way to beat them at their own game would be to recruit one of them to defend the information, but that requires disclosing it to one of them- and since they're far more powerful than you, suddenly you have effectively removed all authority from yourself and handed it to this other machine since you now can no longer effectively control what it does with that information. From a command standpoint, the risk that it could disclose the information to others, defeating your entire mission, is unacceptable.

The workaround of closely guarding the units most capable of stumbling into mission-critical information is, in this light, an adequate workaround. Not ideal, but effective.
>>
>>173733582
Aside from what other anons said, i doubt it was the only reason they assigned 2B to him.
He's kinda unstable mentally. He's prone to violence deep inside, he's secretive. His starting weapon hints at that at some point he straight murdered other S models for whatever reason. And a hacking genius in a world full of machines is a God so they are keeping him on a tight leash.

He's so dangerous even 2B can't match him in open battle so they loaded her with logic virus that should theoretically fuck 9S up if he tries to disable her, and even then it seems that it needs a manual activation from Commander. I actually doubt he would lose to A2 in the end if it wasn't for him being utterly fucked up by logic virus already.

So why do 8-4 always feel the need to make characters bitchy and snarky and shit? Do they only have twelve-year-olds working there? I fucking hate it and I'm tired of it.
>>
The way I see it, making 2B kill 9S was a quick and dirty fix. Android evolution seems to be pretty much a trial and error approach, not some grand master plan devised a priori. It's easier to just have her kill him, than scrap the progress they made with the new scanner units or somehow make new ones that wouldn't find out about humanity being dead, even though curiosity seems to be essential to their function.

Besides, there are plenty of fuckups around YoRHa. The androids underestimated the sentience of machines, thinking using their cores for the YoRHa units would give them some nice simpleton crash test dummies, but they turned out to be just as conscious as other androids or humans. That in turn brought about stuff like whatever failed squadron let to the "emotions are prohibited" guideline, emotions they wouldn't really have if they were as stupid as the androids wanted them to be. Their great idea of a deliberate backdoor also escalated to the point of machines going beyond the Bunker server and hacking the moon server. And lastly, they also couldn't handle one of their stronger units like A2 defecting and their plan of her dying during the assault on Mt. Ka'ala fails.

Androids/YoRHa fuck up a lot and we shouldn't argue under the assumption that their plans are perfect. Far from it. Them going for some quick and easy solution to a unit becoming too smart -- having 2B take them out to reset their memory -- doesn't seem out of place.

That's imply Japan is good at being subtle about anything. There isn't much in Nier Automata that is actually subtle when it comes to the main cast. It made 2B's behavior obnoxious during the game because it was obvious where they were going with it.

If I recall correctly, it was something among the lines of "the virus has blossomed into such a beautiful flower." If true, it's kind of important and they fucked up big time leaving it out.

I was fine with it, because JP makes her sound even more boring to than her character already was with it's meek and monotone delivery. I know that's what they were going for, but I was never a fan of those type of characters in the first place. Different strokes.

We're talking about the voices.

The JP voice actress does a wonderful job with keeping it understated but with plenty of meaning to be interpreted.

Miles better than English 2B

In an ideal world, we'd rewrite the game many more times to appeal to many more people just like you. Such a shame and all we got was 8-4. Should've hired NISA and a couple of other companies to release more versions for more demographics.

I'd argue 2B's character and "hidden motivations" are obvious in both, the main difference is in ENG the delivery is abrasive while in JP the delivery is meek. It comes down to what the individual prefers. Obviously the JP delivery is more in-line with what's expected from JP culture in general.
>>
>>173742429
>>173741462

The ENG VA for 2B stated multiple times that it's how she was directed (by a director with voice acting experience) to say the lines, not personal choice

I wish people would stop saying the VAs are bad when they're given lines to say and told to say them in a specific way
>>
>>173741215
Things are lost in translation. I'm not shitting on the dub here, what I'm saying is that JP version is another experience all together.

Take for example the scene where 2B told 9S to drop san(JP)/ma'am(EN) in the tutorial.

JP https://youtu.be/UQMRz0vAfE0?t=9m35s
EN https://youtu.be/u8zLWAiCmJ0?t=7m35s

In JP you can sense a hint of predisposed bond between 2B and 9S when she told him to stop using "san", which is a mystery at the start of the game because we don't know their relationship goes beyond what we saw. The pauses in between her delivery made the overtone childlike, which breaks her pre-established cold persona a little, giving us a sense of her attitude towards 9S.
In English she just said that like every other line before, dead-pan and robotic.

Now when it comes to 9S response, in JP you can clearly tell, again by the pauses the VA took, also a sigh of relief when delivering the lin, that he is both glad and relief to be treated as equal with an android whom he just met, and has a bigger role to play in the war. Also the literal translation would be "(ah..)I understand.. 2B!"
In EN again these emotions are completely absent, the VA delivered the line causally, possibly because how deadpan 2B's line was, and the whole scene lost its impact compared to the JP version.

And this is just an analysis of 4 lines in the whole fucking game.

Just a quick question, was the legion in drakengard? I've never played it, but I'm arguing with some idiot on /v/ who thinks that the machine network is a manifestation of the legion. I've played the first Nier though.

Well if it was that director's fault then he's a shit and he ruined the english dub.
>>
>>173742630
People say the "VAs" are bad, but they're not really judging the VAs in particular. "The voices are bad" is all the end user experience needs to judge and the wording is accurate enough: they don't really care if it's the voice itself, or the translated lines, or the voice director, or bad quality microphone, or corrupted data, or any other number of things in the production chain.

I got into an argument with one sperg who insisted that Pods weren't using magic from Nier.

There was a similar phenomenon but it did not involve turning into salt.

>Things are lost in translation.
That's just the nature of localization. There is a difference in simply translating, and actually localizing something. You're trying to make it marketable in another culture with localization essentially. If you want the authentic JP experience, you have no real choice but to play in JP.

No, it's 9S. He's a man.

if you're claiming you can tell that is a man from just looking at the face you are lying, that is how you draw a woman, that was my original point.

You mean a boy. And the younger a boy is, the easier it is to make him look feminine.

i was just thinking about this and i think its safe to say that N2 was imitating legion in the same way as N2 made the machines that were disconnected from the network imitate humans

if you look at the first time that the red eye effects machines that are "disconnected" from the network during the abandoned factory segment all the machines that dont get red eye end up killing themselves, assumedly because N2 is unable to turn them to salt
then the next time there is a major outbreak of red eye among "disconnected" its at pascal's village, and what happens to the survivors who dont get the red eye?

this is just a theory of course

machines imitate legion. n2 imitates god.

machines make a "forced pact" with n2, becoming its slaves, their eyes go red and they become mindless violent drones.

just like how humans would make a forced pact with god, becoming his slaves, and they became mindless violent drones, also known as the legion.
