>>174772415
Nier is good. (Slightly) better story than Automata but it doesn't play as well. Drakengard 1 plays like shit but has interesting story. Drakengard 2 has a terrible story and mediocre gameplay. Drakengard 3 plays okay and has a good story, but it's riddled with performance issues.
You can emulate Drakengard 1 and 2. The others require a PS3 or (in Nier's case) a 360.

This is the exact moment I hated 9S. Flirting with 21O behind 2B's back, what a slut.
He probably thinks cuz he's the hot shot, top class male YoRHa he automatically gets all the pussy.
2B is only his main girl cuz she's there all the time and gives him the most attention so of course that's who he "loves."

9S with all his crazy high-end tech and ability to evolve is still just a 16 years old boy mentally in the very beginning. He simply doesn't understand that saying such things may hurt another person. Same reason he actually told her that redhead is cute which provoked her jealous ramble later.

But after he sees her being completely devastated and crying while embracing his dead body in ending A/B he seems to understand everything. His gift, withholding information about humanity for her own sake, absolute recklessness in fighting EMP robot army, from that moment on entire world aside from her could as well not exist for him.

Her pain of killing a boy she "loved" is nothing compared to the cold yet searing pain of several feet of metal being pushed through you without notice. The pain of seeing the woman you love with the coldest and heartless gaze look upon you. And in that moment, bear no regret not remorse.

She needs to suffer MORE

The Wandering Couple sidequest and the Cruel Blood Oath weapon story clearly hint at the uncertainty of whether or not 9S does fall in love with 2B again when his memory is reset. It's not like they custom-built him to fall in love with Toobie, it's just what happens because they're the cutest, lewdest couple. Him complimenting 21O, which happens a while before the Grün fight, if I remember correctly, I always saw less as unfaithfulness to 2B and more him not having settled on 2B after the memory reset at the beginning of the game yet. I'd only see it as unfaithful if we knew he somehow gets "born" loving 2B, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The strongest hint of him having feelings for 2B is after Route B, after they've been through a lot together, after all. Obviously, there's small stuff before that, but I don't think we can just assume he's 100% in love with her for the entirety of the game.

Oh yeah, could be. The extremely positive note of that entire segment makes me think of something more emotional, but the details about the Moon Server are a valid possibility as well.

Also, I just remembered he technically asks her out on a date long before the Route B ending. The exact time depends on when you do that sidequest, but since the Grün fight locks you into the ending path, it has to happen before that.

Either way, unless people buy into that highschooler fantasy of love at first sight, I think it's okay to assume 9S gradually commits to 2B and doesn't start out having a huge shotaboner for her. Telling 21O that she's pretty is forgivable when, from his perspective, he starts off with a freshly reset mind and has a bunch of hot chicks talking to him.
>>
I'm sure 2B convinced herself that there is no way 9S would ever love her back if he learned what she was doing to him after the whole cycle ever got broken. Maintaining the vicious status quo was the only way in her mind how she can be close to him before having to E him again. And refusing to do so would just mean they would assign another E unit to him. I guess it's up to our headcanons if he would **** her after ending E.

Report: spoilers from Nier Concert at Osaka. Once pod 153 detects that 9S has acquired classified information she reports the fact to 2E who then executes her mission. 9S, who finds out that 2B is actually 2E and that 2B is extremely pained by this repeated murder, commits suicide by logic virus. [Please continue killing me from now on]
Or more correctly [2B, please. From now on (possibly: from now on too) make sure to properly kill me.] 2B in response to that [9S, forgive... me.]
Because the logic virus was self-administered, 9S's body rapidly disintegrated starting from the head, hands and legs. Her words did not reach him.
・That was the last time. Before that was also a time when 2B, after having killed 9S, wondered why he didn't resist. Pod 153 told her that [9S knew everything].
(9S's memories before getting killed were of the day the two were chased by a boar and defeated it, or of that time when they spent the whole day peacefully fishing in the Flooded City)
・Also there was a time after the shopping mall, when 9S said [Let's go window-shopping when the war is over!].
・9S was aware that he [Had special feelings towards 2B].
・Pod 153 said to 2B who was in pain and anguish [Having emotions is forbidden].
・Pod 153 said that 2B was created in imitation of a single prototype android who survived the Pearl Harbor Descent. Due to the prototype's excellent ability to operate in stressful situations, 2B was designated E.
2E said [I'm not... suited... to something like that] very very sadly.

・In the end of the Prologue, right after the murder, 2E hesitates to delete 9S's memory data and reinstall preset personality. Pod 153 asks her why she does not execute her mission. 2B answers [You will not understand. I don't understand either]

Until the plot of the game, the story was caught in an extremely sad spiral of life and death.

The performance itself followed the general flow of several songs being performed, reading of a play, another couple of songs, another play. Like in the game plot, each time 9S has actively approached 2B, the distance between them shrank, but the end was the same - murder.

※We didn't get the actual script of the plays, so if there are mistakes - please forgive me.

>>174786471
So in this little story from before the game, it's the pod who tattles on 9S? Unlike The Memory Cage where 2B just gets the order to kill him? Weird because in The Memory Cage the pod actually assists 9S when 2B goes in for the kill.
>>
You're thinking about how much you want to kill 2B aren't you?

The whole point of Pods is that they gain self-awareness gradually. Maybe it became attached to 9S at that point.

Pod 153 had not yet develop a personality at that time. She was programmed to inform 2E about the classified information breach and just did her job.

The entire point of ending E is that there's no more actual correct narrative over the further events. Anything you see is just a headcanon, no matter what produces it, because in reality one gods killed another then removed themselves from the game to allow them live freely.

Fair enough, but she did sound calm and collected to me all the same. She kinda reminded me of The Boss. And no, I have no preference over english or japanese VO.

2E was assigned to 9S for a long time. He repeatedly uncovered the truth about the humanity and repeatedly was killed by 2E, have his memory deleted and personality reset to factory default. What we see in the game is just another iteration.

It seems that 2B and 9S fought A2 a couple of times already. In pic related A2 says this is the forth time she's fighting 9S (and she seems OP as fuck).

There will also be 3 performances other than the E ending one:

5/4 - About Project YoRHa with new characters only
5/4 - Mainly about A2 and the times she fought and killed 2B and 9S
5/5 - >>174786471 from 9S' perspective, as well as going deeper into what he was going through in route C because they felt his contamination wasn't really well depicted in the game

I meant bias in the "muh japanese voices are better no matter what" sense, not in the "this VO is objectively perfect because I analyzed this voice over" sense. And I brought that up because of the barfing picture, it's ok to prefer one or the other.

Yeah, it makes 0 sense for any of them to be unable to wake up. The pods sense their data are leaking out and salvage them. They later confirm ALL of their data is safe and restored, their only worry is that they will fuck up in the future, but that's up to them.

Well this actually clears a lot of shit up then, as stated here >>174791253 the arc ending never made sense anyways. Guess now it's actually canon that he didn't leave. That's dope.

There was that recent Famitsu stream showing off the game and the new DLC, Taro and Saito were there. Not only did they decide they could spoil a huge part of the game by showing the Bunker going down and 2B getting infected and stumbling to the mall, they actually got fucked by enemies and 2B got beaten into the crater left to die. While Taro was watching this, he wasn't really saying much.

He was laughing.

Taro already hinted that 9S won't go with artbook.

><From the final record that was remaining in the hardware memory of 9S>

>>174794501
why does he think dolls? did he mean to say dors? because he saw his spooky android wife dors venabili just before passing on? or no
>>
>>174794689
that's how he thought of the machines before, you idiot. just dolls being moved by the strings of their programming, not actual conscious beings.

So ending D seems to be the canon leading into E after all.

I wouldn't be surprised if Taro fucks the ending. He has a habit of ruining his games' endings with supplemental materials. Did it for the original Nier too.

Even if spoilers of the script will be confirmed, why everyone is flipping their shit? In taroverse there's no canon ending, if he adapted D leave into E, he didn't touch D stay into E which is every bit as valid.

It's looking like D-Stay is canon, except he still never wakes up.
>>
>>174800675
>I'm just enjoying the tears.

I don't think people are upset because they are shippers, that's a shallow way of looking at it. People are upset because adding in more tragedy potentially undermines the whole point of the ending. It makes the credit sequence and all of the tragedy leading up to that point have less importance.

He did this with the first Nier. The canon Ending E that lead to Automata wasn't an ending within the game, it was released as a short story in the Japanese Grimoire Nier book. He might be taking the same route with this concert and the next game.

this. Everyone praised how ending E was hopeful and happy and the whole credit sequence/save file thing. Taro himself said that characters desired this ending.

And if we really got what was spoiled than it just ruins everything for everyone.

Not really, you can ignore author's comments if the story itself contradicts them, but you can't just ignore canon elements of a story that are officially written in.

You can protest loudly enough that the writer has to change it, such has happened before with Dickens and others, but you can't just pretend it doesn't exist. That's just denial.

I don't see how, even if you argue that you killed 'god' it's not like the ending actually wrote itself. He could easily just add more and say what you got in the game wasn't the whole thing.

>>
>>174806173
They're both technically correct because ending E followed on from D, they're not separate. Grimoire Nier is canon, so it's right to say D -> Automata, E -> Automata, or D (-> E) -> Automata, it doesn't make a difference.

Don't take me wrong, i really want all this bullshit to turn up into a spoiler baiting and real concert ending to be entire auditory singing weight of the world together with 2B so he can hear her voice.

But i just don't want to have any hopeful expectations for something that may potentially ruin the entire experience. In that case i would rather prefer to be done with it, remove the game and forget about it forever.

I mean it's actually pretty clever if he's intentionally being an asshole. Bait your naive audience with a contrived happy ending and then slap them back to reality. Feels like a big middle finger, but can't say it isn't a creative ploy.

But still, 2B and A2 survive, so only lost the worst character.

There are plenty of games with sad endings. That aside, the whole game had enough despair and tragedy as it is. A bad ending after Ending E sucks balls, end of story. It just hurts the narrative and makes it all feel pointless.

His pod alerted and updated him of his status at the time and made it seem like it wasn't something he was meant to talk about. Everything else was fair game to him. And any time he'd mention machine sentience or general observations, 2B would just cut him off anyway.

Yeah y'know throughout the game, I always felt that 9S didn't share his thoughts and feelings enoug-

Just kidding.
>>
>>174812293
Who else is it then, 2B's other partner who is like pure light to her? Obviously there is going to be plenty of uncertainty and unsaid things in a relationship where there is such a massive underlying secret between them that they are both afraid to broach. Assuming that he would just mindlessly blurt that shit out because he talks a lot is a much less credible way of reading it.

Not to mention you're also ignoring how the game also clearly portrays him as being secretive. If you think being opinionated and being secretive are mutually exclusive, then you have a kind of two dimensional view of characterization.
>>
>>174813240
I guess 2B knew of all the bottled up feelings of 9S during Route C. Oh wait a second, thats exactly whate made him go nuclear because he couldnt resolve them.
>>
>>174812803
Exactly. It's almost like they're caught in an endless spiral of life and death and being unable to love each other is painful. But hey, 9S acts like a loud obnoxious teenager and reading between the lines is haaaaard.
>>
>>174813180
I'm sure he loves her to pieces, in between the rounds of painful murder he suffers at her hands and the data resets he experiences as a result.

She's known him longer than he's known her and has complicated feelings for him.

But this punk doesn't give two shits about calling operator 21O beautiful in front of her, he's suffered at her hands, he's had memory resets because of it. So does he love her? Romantically, no, I think he sees her more as a sister.

It's Yoko Taro though -- weird relationships are a staple of his games, and that's what makes this standard boy-girl love story such a crock if we're going by your straightforward, basic-ass interpretation of their relationship. The only two dimensional view I see is the forced 9S2B headcanon that so many of you neets are fapping over.

you can only fuse chips of the same rank. the less slots a chip takes up, the more valuable the chip is. if you fuse a +1 chip that takes i.e. 8 slots with a +1 that takes i.e. 16 will give you a +2 that takes up ~13 slots (median)

Just fuse low cost chips together to make higher level chips that are low cost. If the chip is at its lowest possible cost it will have a diamond next to it. On odd level fusions you can fuse a diamond chip with a chip that has 1 cost higher and still make a diamond chip. On even level fusions you need to fuse two diamond chips together to get a diamond chip.

I never bothered buying chips ever because the store chips slot cost is too high. Better to fuse low cost chips that you get from drops.

I don't even care that much whether 2B and 9S are a thing, that wasn't even what appealed to me about the game, and still isn't. It's simply that when all of the evidence for it becomes apparent there's really no reason to deny it.

Your post on the other hand makes it pretty obvious that you simply don't like 9S and don't like shippers, so your argument pretty transparently reduces to 'I don't like it so it's wrong'. That's not very convincing to me especially when the best counter argument you can apparently come up with is that 9S talks a lot.

Inb4 Taro releases DLC that focuses on making 9S, our lovely little mad genocider, great again.

You know, I wonder if the colosseum dlc may have something worth looking at here, one of the Ds in that seemingly random name for the DLC stands for Dream, and people (and I assume androids) do dream while asleep.

>>174798467
I'll be frank, I don't quite think that is quite the message he was going for there, that line was pretty much directed at the player more than anything else.

That, and taking the message to the extreme you have makes producing any more games in the Drakengard and Nier universe impossible because the author or player aren't supposed to be able to influence the world anymore, which I highly doubt Taro wants.

Well, I assume A and B are exact same timeline, C is continuation of it.

She says "It always ends like this", thus suggesting some sort of a cycle, she's talking about a cycle in the very beginning too.

So I've been waiting for an explaination to that, but all I've got is what A2 spouted at the end of C.

I understand she extracted that from 2B's memories, but it came right outta fuckin' nowhere and there is nothing explained apart from that.

What were the other cycles? How many? Were A and B somehow the separate cycles? Doesn't look like that to me. When did the cycle begin? Will it begin again or were we part of the last cycle that finished them.

Seriously, what the fuck, I get pretty much everything, but the 2B cycle thing just doesn't compute.

Here you go

>But this punk doesn't give two shits about calling operator 21O beautiful in front of her

We don't know that he even has his memory back at that point, plus it's not apparent that they always even hear each others bunker calls. We didn't hear that from 2B's perspective, unless I'm forgetting. It's a flimsy argument anyways since it could easily be a pleasantry.

>he's suffered at her hands, he's had memory resets because of it.

Yes which is why he's conflicted, no one has ever contested that.

>I think he sees her more as a sister.

Pure speculation basically just stating what you want. There's nothing in the game that suggest that. Unless you were picking up on some sibling themes everyone else missed.

>weird relationships are a staple of his games
>straightforward, basic-ass interpretation of their relationship.

There's nothing basic about a relationship where she is repeatedly forced to murder him, and no one has treated it simply. Everyone recognizes the strain and complications in their relationship. You're basically trying to straw-man it into a disney love story and say that Taro wouldn't do that. I agree, he wouldn't, and didn't.

>>174824341
You're thinking too literally. The cycle is that she has to murder 9S, which resets his memories just like happened after he died in the prologue, and then he inevitably winds up doing something she gets the order to kill him for again. That's the cycle. No timeline shenanigans, no parallel universe stuff, it's just a figurative repetition of events.

And nobody knows how often she had to kill him. We know there are at least two little stories where she kills him in other things, like the novel The Memory Cage and apparently the concert script, but what's sure is that she has had to kill him a bunch of times.

And frankly, I'm not too concerned about some addendum that will never see a localized release in my region and will likely never be referenced again. Unless we get a follow-up that directly builds on whatever bullshit is going on its going to be easy enough to ignore if you so choose. The game stands just fine on its own.

The events of the stage play helped give some more backstory and context to A2, but it wasn't really important to understanding and enjoying main game as a whole. I'd assume the same goes for here, particularly since if there's a follow-up, it'll likely be one that tells it's own story with at most references to Automata, similar to what Automata was to the original Nier.

I see at most cameos for the main cast, maybe at best being side characters like Emil, Devola and Popola. The only major character I could see being given a major role again is A2, mainly because it feels like she really did not get the screentime or development she really should have gotten in this game.

How do you get ending E and not realize it's a Death of the Author thing? (Clearly Taro's new pet concept after "Why do people kill each other?", looking at his moblie game).

If you want to interpret it as a happy end no matter what, do so. Taro has no power to stop you.

>>174826424
>Automata doesn't reference any of the Grimoire Nier shit as far as I can remember. Knowledge of the original game is all that's needed to understand everything.

Emil refers to Nier during the Emil's determination quest, meaning he was restored by the tree and that ending E of Gesalt/replicant is canon.

Not sure if this is news or if it's been down for a while.

It'd be hilarious if she was propped up to be a major/main character in the next game, only to get even less screentime or development because she's a cameo from a cameo.

Admittedly, I wouldn't mind if she was just a major character with lots of screentime. I liked her character a lot and I seem to have a thing for angry women in skimpy outfits with rough edges if Taro's previous games and Berseria are any indication

I don't know about boycotting, but if something you like changes to where you don't like anymore it just makes sense that you wouldn't bother with it.

What's more retarded is people who watch like all 20 seasons of TWD and still complain about every single episode, like you can't stop watching.

During the DLC announcement livestream Yoko says in passing that foreign fans liking his games "doesn't connect to money" and Platinum guy agrees.

What did he mean by this? Doesn't he and Platinum get a cut from foreign sales?

>>174826414
We had a conceptually perfect ending and a completely finished product.
Now thanks to outside materials it has a risk of having its entire message being utterly fucked up. Fuzzy feeling is one thing, pretty much killing the authors together with other players to give characters freedom from both is another. It just had a, i dunno, incredibly rare feeling of actual companionship pretty much no other game manages to give. Ability to change something, be it just a little thing within the narrative of one game.

But hey, if Taro wants to ruin it, nobody can stop him. Some people may even like it. But it will be a loss, really.
>>
>>174828752

Generally, no. For him, the US licensing rights for the game were already sold (or in this case he probably didn't even get that, because it was Squeenix themselves) and the only way major sales of his game ever effects his income is that the publisher may be willing to pay more/will be more likely to pay in the first place for whatever he does next based on the success.

Every art industry fucks the artist in the ass. Every single one.
>>
>>174829192

How can you accept the death of the author and still think Taro can ruin it?
>>
>>174828752
>>174829428
Guess what? He doesn't get paid more if the game sells well in Japan, either.
>>
>>174829192
>nobody can stop him
tell that to my flight ticked motherfucker
>>
>>174829570
Because Taro was not sincere with this message himself. And by acting upon ending E, he sabotages it.

It's like a philosopher who starts contradicting himself to a point his own teaching becomes worthless.

Why can't i seem to sexualize 2B?

Half the game i'm staring at her ass, but still, can't quite seem to do it.
>>
>>174830106

Because you care about her as a person
>>
>>174830106
I had no problem doing it until I played the full game.
>>
>>174829996

Nah

It's just the test to the class that was Ending E, to see if you got the lesson.

Death of the Author doesn't mean you can just ignore canon plot details. If anything, quite the opposite, it you're going to regard the authors words or intentions as irrelevant, then you have to be even more particular in paying close attention to the actual work itself.

I think a lot of people misunderstand death of the author to mean the reader is more important, when it actually means the content and structure of the source material itself is more important. There is a school of thought called reader-response that proposes meaning is ultimately constructed by readers, but that's something different.
>>
>>174830106
that's cause you made a connection with her as a character and her plight, making it very hard for your brain to sexualize her.

Doesn't stop her ass being 10/10 stuff, but still.
>>
>>174830468
Or maybe Taro is just a worthless fake who will forever chase after cheap shock value instead of genuine messages

Maybe i was expecting too much from him, though.
>>
>>174830660

I have to admit my knowledge of Barthes is mostly through references in other works but as I understood it the reader's importance in interpretation was exactly what he was talking about. That's where the whole "readerly text" thing comes in. Is that mistaken?
>>
>>174829996
>>174830719

It's not a contradiction it he set you up, played on your emotions, and then pulled the rug out from you. It's a douche move, but if his primary goal was to bait people into a happy ending only to basically shame you for your fuzzy expectations and use his power as author to blow you the fuck out, it's not inconsistent. Total fucking dick, but not inconsistent.

That's also assuming that that's what's really going on here anyways.

anyone know any good playthrough vids with facecam? i wanna see how others react to certain key scenes.
>>
>>174830106
Idk, while her plight is tragic on paper, I honestly don't really care much about her as a character. While her role adds a lot to her interactions with 9S, she's honestly not very likeable. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of kuudere type characters.
>>
>>174831645
why do you care, they either don't because showing emotions is for faggots or overreact to reel in the kids
>>
>>174831645

If you want to see the worst, most compromised playthrough of this game that exists and possibly the worst that will ever exist you should watch Damiani from Easy Allies play the game.

It'll be White. White will sternly float back down to Earth where she partners with Emil to hock cheesy wares from the back of his new ice cream truck body.

those will be spammed in every thread ruining every possibility for autists to stick with their headcanon
but it also means less 2b/9s fanart which is a tragedy

Barthes was a structuralist/post-structuralist. It's not a misnomer, they believed very strictly in analyzing the structures present in narratives, language, cultural idioms, etc... and believed meaning is derived from the structural relationships in these things. Meaning comes from structures themselves, not from readers or authors. I can give you a sort of classic example if that doesn't make sense.

I think the readerly and writerly text things were just descriptions of the type of text, like the type of presentation it had or something.
>>
>>174832236

To me I still interpret this as the reader and his/her associations having the power over the meaning in the text, since those things are all going to be seen differently by different individuals.

Please do give the example.

>>174831645
Kyle Mc Carley's playthrough (9S' voice actor).
And Rising SuperStream's playthrough. The guy genuinely started crying at Ending E, so that's something.
You can find both on Youtube.

Can someone help me? I just bought the game on Steam and I can't even start the game because the screen is completely white. What should I do?

I'm on Nvidia Geforce 940M

It's a perfect storm of everything that could go wrong.

He played the previous game but his attitude to this one was basically "I'm going to rush through this as fast as possible skipping all side content so I can start Persona 5",

So he's underlevelled whilst being fucking terrible at the game so he's struggling on normal, blaming the game for his being awful.

He ended the game with one pod, and only three pod programs, almost no weapons and none of them upgraded (never even found Masamune).

Lacking context for the story because of all the side stuff he skips, accidentally skipping some cutscenes either through his own error or some glitch in his PC version so he misses even more context like that.

Constantly missing dialogue due to relentless hacking when playing as 9S, missing stuff like the 2E reveal or 6O's dialogue when the bunker goes down because he skipped the amnesia sidequest and 6O's desert rose sidequest.

To top it all off he then accidentally (or maybe even intentionally) says yes to "do you think games are silly little things" which ejects him from the credits during ending E.

He then youtubes ending E, skips the part where you receive help from other players to get to the cutscene afterwards.

It's just the most ridiculous trainwreck imaginable, can't wait for him to chime in on some future Easy Allies Spoilercast for Automata and express his completely malformed opinions.
>>
I cant understand how 9S will never wake up if PODS have a fucking BACKUP of his memories, YES, maybe he went to the ark, but there is a backup of him that pods can restore in a body.
