>Q42 What's up with Eve's tattoo? Does it have anything to do with the last game? And why does only he have it? (*Extremely paraphrased translation)
>模様が入っていること自体は、人類の過去情報から学習し「人間を真似する」ために表示しています。また、その模様を表示することを指示したのはアダムです。イヴにとってその模様は兄の形見で、几帳面にその模様を維持していたのですが、暴走時にその形状を維持できなくなってしまいました。
>He has the pattern for the sake of imitating humans, taken from their past data. The one who told him to display the pattern was Adam. To Eve, it was his brother's memento, so he periodically maintained it, but was unable to continue doing so when he was behaving recklessly.

What does that even mean? He just painted it on himself or something and it magically shrinks and grows for no added combat value or story significance whatsoever? It's really just there because the character designer thought it was cool?

>>175136756
Any way to fix this? Or am I going to have to replay the entire game
>>
>>175136949
You can lower your level with the save editor in the OP.
>>
>>175136949
Looks like you have to replay it, as there's no level scaling. I mean you could watch a video of it, it's nothing plot related, just a really cool easter egg.
>>
>>175136949
You could try bumping it up to Very Hard, but I don't know if it it increases enemy health.

It's kind of shitty and forces you to skip sidequests so you don't go past level ~58. Why is she ten levels lower than the preceding three or so bosses anyway?
>>
>>175136998
I guess I'll have to do that then, thanks.

>>175137030
>>175137217
Yeah it doesn't really make sense that she's such a low level, especially considering that losing all your chips isn't a thing anymore in C&D.

I don't think it's scummy. Nobody knows if you backed up but you so where is the harm?

I'm sure they can figure out something. Stands to reason that at some point she probably decided to see if she could make 9S really happy during his time before she killed him. She probably stopped though, since the whole murder thing just hurt both of them more when she did that.

nothing really new.
But apparently, 9S didn't die after tower collapsed.
>>
>>175155328
Oh cool, no big deal then.

So ending E is still fine unless he actually kills off a character, and that's what we're waiting to see from the translation?
>>
>>175155474
check the end of the previous thread, there were a lot of discussions about it there
>>
>>175145784
Someone is writing a fanfiction about how 2B fucked 9S every time before killing him and people requested the author to write about their first time. Im sure you will like it. It is callef System Reset on AO3
>>
>>175155536
Missed that, thanks.
>>
>>175146531
Again, read system reset, even one of the stories is about angry 9S fucking her really hard so she cant forget it and suffers more the next time. That is actually I can se him doing for revenge
>>
>>175155474
So far the post-E scene seems to be standalone from the game narrative because it directly contradicts E ending, events of C route and even some of the other bonus materials.

>Pod 153 in post-E scene is a stone-cold bitch who calls 9S by his official designation (which she stopped doing on route C entirely) and offers to simply dispose of his body despite side material about her and 042 fishing clearly showing how much she wants to meet her friends again and even practices a speech for their awakening
>9S's cognitive data somehow ends up being deleted before he even boots up which means he does no conscious choice and it's a result of him doing something prior to E events, most likely sacrificing his own data original Nier's D ending-style
>in chapter 4 there's no mention of him dying too
>he also doesn't go with the Ark as there's a message about this in his memory
>everything about post-E also contradicts the fact Pods got all their memories in actual in-game E

Unless there's more details we miss, this feels like his original intent for ending E and can be safely ignored as even he says that actual in-game E is a happy ending.

>The very first sign of in-game E was personal data(consciousness) "leaking" into credits. Then 042 launching successful suicide attack to save this personal data. So 9S having none of it for "some reason" directly contradicts this.

I hope that for better or worse, Yui Ishikawa sings weight of the world in the concert.
The pain of tragedy is temporary. A unique rendition of a song will be with us forever.
>>
>>175156270
Also people were thinking that it follows japanese Weight of the World, but that version is reserved for ending B where everything indeed goes to shit.

Actual theme of ending E is End of YoRHa which is extremely positive and inspiring in its entirety.
>>
>>175156427
song theory as well as the cover one are extremely far-fetched and don't make sense with recent findings too.
It is highly unlikely that ending E will be changed or devaluated. At the moment nothing really points to this.
>>
>>175156416
I'm not denying it would be a unique experience. I just want it to either not touch the unique experience of in-game E or straight reinforce it by assuming that it's indeed an unused route where Nines himself lived on after ending D and decided to sacrifice his data.
>>
>>175156270
How does the tweet relate to the post-E scene? Google fails to translate it properly.
>>
>>175156839
I will admit I got really upset when I first read the spoiler but I think we need to accept that whatever happens will happen and we are going to have to live with that.
>>
>>175156902
well, it was made the same day "sad news" were leaked and the post he commented is like 3 weeks old.
Most likely Taro trolling with saying that he can't write such gentle stories. As his own usually ends with suffering.
>>
>>175156902
He reposts a weeks old fanart and says that he wishes that he was able to write something as gentle as this.

It's mostly a commentary about his own recent side materials which reinforce a bond between 2B/9S even further. Their handholding is now canon, for example.

It's from side materials about 9S meeting "another" 9S for whatever reason.
They seem to have been enjoying themselves with 2B at some point and she was even smiling at him. It's unknown when it happens though.

Nah, people deleted their own saves, not his. That's the point of E we got. Someone needed to sacrifice something for something better to happen somewhere. Taro just allowed us to sacrifice ourselves instead.

9S also holds memories of him fishing with 2B for a day or them being pursued by a wild boar.
They had a shitton of cute moments like this probably, even though in the end it only harmed 2B more.

9S also refers to 2B as "Onee-chan" - "big sister" - in the first line of this text.
>>
>>175157836
That's not surprising. He thought about her as a family member at first, he says this in ending D. It's obvious that his perspective changed a lot over the course of a game, especially when he tenderly touched her cheek in the Tower.

Second B is best
>>
>>175157573
>>yfw people who actually deleted their savedata for some temporary good feels are responsible for 9s's death and 2b's suffering.

From Taro's interview(http://www.siliconera.com/2017/03/28/yoko-taro-speaks-varied-endings-meanings-nier-automata/):

>I believe that E was essentially the happy ending.
>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.
> 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.

>the moment where you have your last hope, they wanted to depict it so the system and everything was being destroyed. So, you’re breaking through that system and stepping outside to find the last hope.
>I was wondering if the game could also offer that kind of sentiment, so to speak.
>we wanted to make it so you’re destroying that data and reaching outside of that game world to find that bit of last hope.


So either it was all bullshit(highly unlikely) or this new ending won't be connected to the in-game E.

Why didn't they do this properly? They charge $15 for three costumes and don't even use the real body model for one of them?
>>
>>175161071
money i guess. square probably didn't give them much while demanding an overpriced dlc, so they spent most of the funds on the ceo boss battle and reused everything else, like importing nier's models with a headswap, reusing debug area for the colloseum and doing a simple "go kill some enemies, faggot" quest line.

shit square enix.
>>
>>175160902
You're probably right, but I've seen autists go into canon screeching often enough in other franchises that I'm curious. Weird thing to value whatever's considered "true" within made-up fiction than what's appealing, which is ultimately the point of said fiction to begin with.

>>175161071
They aren't really charging that amount just for the costumes, there are three entire arenas in there as well. I don't get why people seem to not count gameplay as content in a game. However, that costume shit is the worst. Either give me Kainé's body in her outfit with her bulge or 2B's body in Kainé's outfit with 2B's butt. What they did is just half-arsing it.
>>
>>175161071
Funny, because their excuse for not making the three outfits wearable by all the characters is that they'd have to adjust them to fit the different models.

So why do the YoRhA dress like they do? Is not combat efficient clothing
>>
>>175161543
they're propaganda units first and foremost, not combat specialists.

most of them do recon (2b and 9s especially. it's 9s's recon mission with 2b accompanying him), if they go into a pure combat situation they dress up in armor, like the 3 fugitives in 2b's quest or route c's all out attack.
>>
>>175158316
>>175160545
No, because the entire thing is written from the perspective of 9S. See >>175085853
It would be strange for 9S to refer to himself through the story as if he were telling it - i.e. "turns to me", "I felt 2B's twitch through our linked arms", "I turned to look" - but then specifically where he refers to 2B as "older sister" to be written from the other guy's perspective? That just doesn't work.

if "onee-chan" is canon too...

>>175165059
So it seems like 9S was infected all along during route C and there is no mentioning of 2B's corrupted hand. Hm..
>>
>>175165059
When does this even happen?
Sounds like if he won a battle against A2 without getting killed by 2B's blade so his corruption spreads. He only got signs of corruption during his final battle with A2 after all, and at that point it obviously wasn't 80%.

Or is it just a completely disconnected thing created for a concert?

Their relationships are just a deep, pure love at that point. Which will obviously evolve given the chance they never had.

>>175165659
This story is supposed to expand on route C and what 9S was going through, so it is very much canon.

>>175166201
At 80% corruption 2B could barely walk around.

No, what don't *you* understand? I'm asking about the two days claim. How do you claim it was posted two days before other leaks when that's simply untrue if you look at the previous general, and considering it was never posted on /vg/ before then?

2B also gave her memories to A2 which seems not to be an option for 9S


Also, pods fucking restored all of their memories anyway. And if 9S could self-reboot there then nothing is stopping him to wake up. Again. Well if he somehow survived and lost himself entirely to the virus then yeah, seems like a good asspul reason to me.

"For the 4th story: 1st Scene: refenced the start of the game when 2B encounters 9S after the mini-boss fight. seems to be a 2B narrative on her meeting 9S then and her thoughts with 9S asking 2B if it would be ok if she wore a white flower on her hair
2nd Scene: narrative from 9S about meeting 2B, specifically during ingame when you first finished the factory and 2B thanked 9S for uploading their data. 9S noticed something on 2B's hand (which I guess is bandages or similar from the context) and they have some conversation over bleeding/vaccine
3rd Scene: narrative from pod042. Fairly sure this takes place when 9S is climbing the tower as it ends when 9S encounters the 2B clones zerg rush ingame. 9S thinks about the message 2B left in her flight unit at the flooded city.
From the 4th story alone, I cannot really determine when exactly does the 4th scene happens."

In the game 9S only starts losing memories during ending D and only because he was dying.
He also never gets an indication of corruption while 2B could barely walk around even at 30% of it, let alone kill entire armies of E models.

Then he brought up that he wish to summarise Yoko's interview and NieR-related developments. He hopes that everyone can have a greater understanding of Yoko as an individual through his games.

This looks like we got a different version of the plot in the game with a happy end and this script was really the original intention which was scrapped for some reason. Just like 9S consciousness.
I mean if it already goes against the in-game canon.

So every scene from this concert so far has been simply adding details to actual events from the game. Not adding alternate content, but simply expounding on existing content. Even scene 4 has specifically been said to be clarifying what they believed wasn't explained well enough in the game.

And yet people are trying to say scene 5 will just be alternate content, a separate non-game ending. But when literally everything so far has been confirmed to be or is just obviously in-game content, I see little reason to assume scene 5 will all of a sudden shift to non-game content.

The whole purpose of the concert recitals seems to be clarification of the story that is there already. So whatever we're going to get from it is most likely just the most complete version of the in-game story, like it or not, for better or for worse, etc...

Translator here. I think that's probably not correct. If you analyze the text more closely it seems more likely that "Onee-chan" refers to an unidentified older female who asks 9S & 2B what their names are in the next line.

Because it's bumblefuck retarded and straight goes against established events of the game or also contradicts some other new side materials.

It's also painfully predictable as it's basically a shittier D ending of original Nier with Nier not getting outright removed but just falling into possibly eternal sleep, it's in no way comparable to a glorious in-game E.

If Taro actually ends up ruining his own game, well, it's his right, but i will never take his words or works seriously again.
>>
>>175173570
>Even scene 4 has specifically been said to be clarifying what they believed wasn't explained well enough in the game.
well may be it straight up contradicts ingame events? 9S wasn't corrupted before attaching 2B's hands and pods confirmed it multiple times by saying that he got mental damage.
And there is no mentioning of 2B's hand at all.

3 prequel stories are fine, but 4 and potentially 5th will most likely end up redefining what happened and not "expanding it"

I mean I don't disagree if it's what we think it is, but we don't actually know for certain yet. Could actually turn out okay. Either way seems only two choices will just be to accept it as officially the story, or just purposefully ignore it and go into denial. But again, even that's just based off of current info, there's nothing to say Taro won't just say yeah only scene 5 is alternate. Would just be weird and doesn't look to be the case right now.

I'd much rather that than he just stays dead. Although it's a bit to much like the Edge of Tomorrow ending. But it's not like it would be the first time 2B will be getting 9S with memory wipe. Actually probably better for him to come back fresh rather than batshit anyways.

I don't know, it seems even 9S doesn't want to start again after experiencing A-D and honestly I wouldn't want either. In my first playthrough I refused to delete Pascals memories because both bad and good experiences shape who you are. Deleting 9S all over again would be like killing the 9S we know.

For the first time I understand how 2B must feel every time she killed him and his memory getting reset. Fuck I don't want him to format.

There's another translation of this I read that said calling them family would be oversimplifying. But yes it does also clearly say they couldn't be considered lovers.

Basically what we've got is that they love each other in a way that would not be proper for family, so romantically, but they just have not actually gotten romantic yet. So family, no. Lovers, no. Romantic, yes.

You're really reaching and over analyzing here, that doesn't make sense at all. We know that androids can be lovers because amnesia android specifically mentioned that she's had to kill her lovers. Whether sex is involved we don't know and is irrelevant, it is specifically stated that there are android lovers. What the pod says there is pretty simple and straightforward, you are reading 'creatively' to get the interpretation you want.

Yes but apparently 9S got fucked a bit harder so that he can't boot unless he formats completely.
>>
>>175178280
Yes, I don't believe that the other translator's interpretation is correct. To be fair, though, it took me a long time to figure out the context as well.

It's unarguable that, in the spoken line "君たちの名前は?", somebody else is asking 9S and 2B what their names are because of the plural "you" used. Coupled with the previous line "おねえちゃんはちょっとぎこちない笑顔で、ぼくに訊ねる", the "inquiringly" (訊ねる) part of that suggests that the person with the awkward smile is the person that asks the question; this is the only part of the translation up for interpretation. The subject of that sentence is "onee-chan", which means that 9S thinks of that person, whoever she is, as a big sister-type relative to his own social standing.

2B already knows who 9S is (2B and 9S are still holding hands when the next event occurs and 2B addresses 9S by name after that), and it's explicitly stated that whoever onee-chan is is directing her awkward smile at 9S, and there's nobody else mentioned at that point who could be the target of the plural "you".

They cannot *literally* be lovers. I don't think that's up for debate, since they lack the anatomy for it. Pod isn't stupid.

They can be lovers in the android sense though, which is a close romantic relationship as seen in the game among other androids. Pod is saying they're not lovers, that it would be a stretch to call them that.

Romantic relationships aren't portrayed as a spectrum in this game, they're simplistic. The closest we even get to girlfriends and boyfriends is the brief mention by 16D that she was "in a relationship" with 11B. Otherwise, androids don't have husbands and wives, romantic couples are simply described as lovers and nothing else.

>Whether sex is involved we don't know and is irrelevant
Irrelevant to you because you're obviously keen on shipping them, but I'm afraid it's relevant to the discussion.

There are a few songs from Nier that didn't make it over to Automata, like Shadowlord and the Desert Ruins theme. I want to see the song that plays in Emil's mansion make a come back too.

Plus, there are a few Drakengard 3 songs Okabe will probably bring back because he worked on it. Does anyone remember if Accord had a theme song?

I don't know what is wrong here. She should've to say
My times spent with you are just like lovers or what?

They both were alone in a meaningless cycle of life and death and both got each other as a single meaning in their life. Sounds like a family to me. At the same time they got extreme mutual affection. And 9S developing it super fast as was seen in prolog was not a coincedence.
Wandering couple quest wasn't talking about family too btw.
The only thing they haven't shown was kissing and sex(if it is a thing for them - we don't know). 9S presented 2B an E-drug and you know what it is. Weapon stories are also quite clear, but you can of course argue about it too.
Family concept is quite a stretch for androids too as was shown by 21O.

So what we got is family < 2Bx9S < lovers. Seems like a good trade-off for everyone here.

no, Y works exactly the same way. Y is an ending and to keep playing you have to reload so it never happened, and there are no conequences from getting Y. If getting Y finished the quest and allowed you to keep playing without a reload than it would be different, but it doesn't

I actually hope the post-Ending E in the concert script is true, the final DLC of Nier;Automata will feature 9S trying to wake up. You essentially play 9S during his dream, you will run around with the Tekken Fuckboys in Machine/Android Heaven, you reminiscence about your memories with 2B including all the stuff in the scrip ingame until you finally reach the end of the DLC and fight one last battle against yourself to wake up.

You basically just elaborated on what you already said, which still doesn't make any sense.

You're argument is basically 'the word lover implies sex and they can't so they can't be lovers, therefore any mention of the word lover must be reduced to romance'. All this is is using semantics to deny that lover actually means lover. It's an oblique argument at best. Particularly when you don't even know if they can have sex or not.

The simple fact is that the androids take what they consider lovers, and engage in relationships. Whether they have sex, have android version of sex, have pretend sex, or simply wish they could have sex, is irrelevant. They still take lovers one way or another.

>you're obviously keen on shipping them

You've obviously got a chip on your shoulder because I did nothing of the sort. I clearly acknowledged that the pod specifically said they are not lovers. But he also says it would be wrong to call them family as well. So what's not family and also not lovers? Romantic interest. This is very simple, and I'm not biasing it towards them being lovers, I'm simply reading what's written. You are the one trying to read it in a convoluted manner to bias it towards a familial relationship, even though pod flat out says that's a mistake. If the quote read 'calling them family is plausible, calling them lovers is a stretch', then you'd be right because that's how you are reading it. And if that's what it wanted to say then that's what it would say. But it doesn't say that, it says 'calling them family wouldn't be proper, calling them lovers is a stretch', which is how I am reading it.

By your reading their relationship falls into some non-existent limbo. They can't be considered family, can't be considered lovers, can't be romantically interested... what are they, acquaintances? coworkers? buddies? Their relationship is obviously more than just that shit. You're reading is self defeating.

Ending E does not force you to delete your saves. It's voluntary; the game asks you many, many times if your absolutely sure you want to delete it. After declining, you can also re-initiate ending E using the chapter select mode and do it then.

But when you reach that point after ending E for the first time, if you don't feel compelled to sacrifice your save right then, you have no soul.

So I suspect that 9S successfully killed A2 and then died with collapsed tower while his consciousness was destroyed during it because he didn't want to erase memories about 2B? Why the fuck did he left a message if he knew that 2B was dead?
And it seems like he won't "wake up" either so he is also dead now.

Yeah, this is how I see it too. Ending E was all about defying yoko taro and taking the ending we wanted, but it was also about the ambiguity of what would happen next. the concert script, from everything I've seen, reads like tryhard fanfic, despite the fact that Taro wrote the story. I don't see it as any more relevant than ending Y. That doesn't mean it's not interesting, that doesn't mean it's not good, that doesn't mean it's not worth watching. But it does mean that even though this concert is coming out, imo whatever happens after ending E is still ambiguous.

>3rd Act: September 17, basically the mail from 2nd Act included coordinates among the Ark rubble. 2B start to hardcore miner-mode and dig through the rubble despite pod42 warnings that lack of maintenance will lead to serious damage. Even after serious damage with blood apparently everywhere and 2B losing sense of touch in her arms, she continues to search for the Ark's memory unit. It is revealed here that the Ark is actually made from a combination of complicated crystals which forms its huge memory unit. The act ends with 2B shutting down due to overload.

I said no the first time, then went back and completed the quests and stuff I'd missed. Then I replayed the last level and deleted. You get chapter select after you get the first 3 endings.

I love you anon but please please fuck the fuck off; we'll see you after you get ending E. enjoy!

The underlying problem is even if it was a different Ending its not properly explained why 9S doesnt wake up. I mean 9S might be as fucked as Ending E2 as he is in Ending E. What makes it so different compared to concert Ending or the game Ending?

Narrative from 2B with some technical mumble about reversing engineering and extracting information from a light-emitting crystals (unlikely that I can tl this technical bit properly atm) and create a vaccine that can 'cure' 9S.
After a few failed attempts with newly created vaccine, Pod042 brings up possibility of 9S' self-elimination of his conscious or according to records of A2's body*, the possibility of 9S conscious moving to the Ark is present.
*tl note: the chinese source specifically states records from YoRHa A2's body, the word for body used is of a mechanical context and may or may not = corpse.

A2 found him while he had direct connect to the pillar of light which was most likely the Ark itself. Who knows what he did in that ending, probably refused them and deleted his data right there so Pods simply salvaged his dead body.

Pod153 asks 2B if there is a need to repair 9S' memory components which 2B tells pod153 to do so. 9S' data was recovered and the playback starts. What 9S says is similar to what he says ingame if you reject the offer to board the Ark. 9S: "2B, we will not exist forever, we will eventually return to the earth, meeting you gave meaning to my birth" 2B: "Nines" Then narrative from Pod042 about how 2B simply stopped moving on the spot. Its illogical and (the pods) are unable to understand why did 2B stop moving and stop talking. Pod153 concludes that 2B/9S continued to be imprisoned in the never ending of living only to die, and that all existences exist only to be destroyed.

>>175198091

Tower collapses but Ark flies away in any case.
This means it's not ending D.
While 9S still says the words about not deserving to be loved on D, he actually understands that 2B is near him right after while in C his connection with Ark is interrupted by A2 who crashes and fucks up entire tower which most likely led up to 9S becoming completely suicidal and removing all his data.

If the concert script offers no explanation for why 9S can't be revived whereas 2B can, it's not canon: it's an alternate ending like a special feature on a movie DVD.

This is such a shallow, simplistic bullshit compared to message of actual E that i'm surprised Taro actually wrote this.

No thanks, i will stick with D stay into in-game E then. 9S calmed the fuck down before dying and saw 2B, Pods salvaged all their memories and all 3 of them are going to awaken.

As long as you follow the series, maybe you may get a good ending one day"
He ends off by saying there are 2 more N:A related books which are for sales and he hopes that everyone will show $upport. He would also like to thank everyone(most likely the chinese side) for their support towards him.

Eh, it counts but it also kind of doesn't. DOD1, for example, doesn't have a canon ending. All the endings are canon, they just lead to different timelines. The highschool-tier concert script might be canon, but it's not any more canon than E, or than K, or Y. So I'll just ignore it as i find it a bit embarassing how shallow it is

>>175198812
It'll count more if anything continues off of it. Same with any other ending.

The story is over though. The end of the story was the end of Ending E.

This concert script is canon, but it's canon in the exact same sense as the pre-disney Star Wars expanded universe. It's technically canon but who cares, when it's that shitty most peoppe just ignore it. Same logic her3

Guys, it seems it really is C-E!
9S commits sudoku(we sort of knew it), no info about 9S actually killing A2.

But still they fucking don't have 9S memories!! In D they were rescued by pods thats why we got his monolog.
And in the game's E everything is 100% restored.

So this really looks like a different E ending then what we actually got. And as we know in game D-E is in unit data.

Well, it is or it isn't. It could go D and then just end, or D->E. The route that gets you to the concert script is c->e->concert but that doesn't make C more or less canon than D. Like how Drakengard's ending E isn't automacially the "canon" end for drakengard, there are different timelines.

C and D are equally canon

I never said it isn't part of the story either. Its part of the story in the same sense that the star wars EU is part of the star wars story.

I shouldnt have said that i guess. Story was over in the same sense that the story of star wars ended with episode 6! (For 30 years anyway)

Okay, sure, after 6 Luke had a kid named Mara who turned evil or whatever. Until disney bought the series, that was part of the story. It was 100% canon.

But how many people knew? How many people cared? When you add to a story with additions that are A. Nonsensical and shitty and B. In a different medium from the original story, it only matters so much.

It's part of the story, it's canon, but I'm not stupid for deciding to ignore it or not pay it any mind. I'm not doing that because it bums me out or "triggers" me or whatever, but because it's dumb. It's fucking midichlorians. Midichlorians are 100% canon. Jedi have them in their blood and the more of them you have, the better you are with the force. That is still canon in the new movies, they can't change it. But who fuckin cares?

I'm not gonna fight with you anymore. I'm not arguing the additions aren't canon, and if you're into them that's fine. All im arguing is that it's not denial or stupid to ignore this new part of the story or to not pay it much attention or respect. It's just embarassment and disinterest.

Wait why the fuck is 2B alive of all characters? I thought the sword containing her memories was already pretty dumb, but A2 and 9S dieing for literally no reason at all is beyond retarded. I don't even care if this is canon, this whole scenario is written like some backwater fanfiction.

Yes, everything points at that the script happens by C into E where 9S survived and deleted himself manually.

In D he's not given opportunity. 153 backs up his data manually. He sees 2B most likely because her memories leaked from the sword into him. On top of that he has an extensive talk with Ark that is not interrupted by A2.

That version of ending will be difficult for them too, because they will need to perform regular self-maintenance, but 3 of them together with two pods? They can pull through anything and Factory is nearby for 9S to hack and gain control of as well as Resistance camp with friendly granny Anemone.

everything screams "meaningless" with what was linked before. A2 died on her own and wasn't revived. 9S sudoku'd. 2B was revived by pods with only her memories restored because of her sword which was shown in C. N2 was also fucked.

It all kinda makes sense. May be it is not even a direct E continuation but C one.

In part 4 there's no mention of 9S dying from a sword stab. He collapses while only holding his memories of 2B as his body gets corrupted more and more. No mention of 153 performing a data backup like she does in D. He probably just allowed himself to be 100% corrupted after A2 saved him. This doesn't happen in D as he's killed from his sword wound rather than virus and with 153 actually fucking backing up his data.

In other words, by killing him last time 2B saved him and opened them a better future together, thus finishing the cycle of pointless death and life they were locked in for 3 years to live on and struggle within the cycle.

Now I can happily go look cute 2Bx9S fanart again as it really is a beautiful explanation.

We still got C-E in the game but as in intel it says about D-E then we can just forget that meaningless shit anyway.
I highly doubt that it will be the route for the game sequel/reference as it is, well, meaningless from all sides.

Still canon tho. But no one was promising that everything will end well in all possible routes anyway.

I think Taro actually tried to display an alternative to a whole shitload of positive and cute fanart by taking one of the ending branches for himself to rape as he sees fit while leaving us with canon D Stay into E in-game.

C into E is canon and it's there to show up that when Pods mention that anything can happen after E, they actually MEAN that.

No way, it was horrible thanks to Ark destruction alone. Thousands of years of machine evolution down the drain.

Not to mention that it was always weird to me that 9S survived. Now we know what a fucking clusterfuck he experienced after.
>>
>>175206205
As it was presented in game? No. A2's arc was completed, 9S was revived with the opportunity to find a new purpose for living. A2 sacrificing herself (and by extension what remains of 2B) for 9S was better than everybody dying just because. I don't know how anyone can defend 9S falling on the sword. I don't even like the faggot but that was beyond stupid. And then the ark thing was an asspull if ever there was one. D was shit.

it is the only thing that was "completed" there. 9S wasn't cured but most likely just disconnected from the network. N2 got fucked. 2B's sword with 9S' puch were shown without any mentions about 9S future(as he most likely sudoku'd himself).

Thousands of years of machine evolution was still doing just fine on Earth, no ark needed. The ark thing never made sense to begin with.

First part of the concert script is genuinely heart-wrenching if you care about 2B. It clearly shows how much repeated 9S deaths hurt her and continued hurting more and more each time it happened because 9S ended up being way smarter than she or Pod expected and started learning everything about her designation and either committing suicide or not resisting her at all.

I doubt she would be even able to continue doing this any longer because the state she was left in during A/B was a clear breaking point and C into E shows that next time it would leave poor girl mindbroken completely.
>>
>>175206797
yes but I never assumed it was for getting help
>>
>>175206826
A2 cured 9S. She removed the virus infection and took it into herself, hence why she chose to die in the tower. N2 got exactly what N2 deserved. The machine network was destroyed and the machines would be forced to live disconnected, if at all.
>>
>>175206871
Ark was needed to escape the conflict with androids and start anew alone.

>A2 cured 9S. She removed the virus infection and took it into herself

Which doesn't make sense. Conflict with androids was necessary to speed machine evolution. That was the conclusion reached by N2 until the "just kidding" asspull of the ark.

These are the things that convince me the concert script is just an extended version of ending C:
>During the in-game ending C, it looks like A2 manages to save 9S, but then (if you go C -> E) you learn that he still somehow died offscreen. The reason why he died was never explained in the game, but now the script provides an explanation of what happened to him after the tower collapsed.
>A2 is nowhere to be found, and there’s only the mention of some records from her body. So it’s safe to assume that she’s dead too, and it’s likely that 2B found her body while searching for the ark’s memory unit among the tower ruins.
>The very presence of the ark’s rubble among the tower ruins is a strong indicator that this is not the timeline where the exact same ark was successfully launched into space with N2 and the gay bros on board.
>Finally, the conclusion stated by the pods at the end of the script (all existences exist only to be destroyed) matches the nihilistic tone of ending C, in which everything ends up being utterly meaningless.
Overall, I think that the script serves as a bridge between the cutscene for ending C and the pods’ conversation at the start of ending E.
It leaves the characters in the same state they were at the end of the cutscene for ending D (all three androids dead, with the two pods remaining alive and together).
>>
>>175205383
I remember there being more leaked photos of the play but I've only found the one with cold-assed 153 for 5th story.

Also if anyone has any suggestions to what to add to the paste - they are appreciated.
>>
>>175207506
The change of heart was an asspull and goes against what was previously stated in game. Adam and Eve's data was not anything new considering how long they've been dead, and 9S was an "inferior" android that wasn't connected to a network like the machines. It doesn't make sense why N2 would value the data of something inferior like him. And again his data wasn't new. For N2 to have an epiphany like that at the very end and in light of no new information was fucking stupid.
>>
>>175207809
>The change of heart was an asspull
Not at all because A2 tricked N2 into almost completely self-termination because of an internal conflict.
It only makes sense that remaining bits of N2 became smarter and evolved past conflict phase.
>>
>>175207584
I was talking about immediately after the ending. Not far into the future.
>>
How does A2 meeting 2B and 9S before makes any sense? I thought this was the first time 2B and 9S explore the region where the game takes place and it seems like A2 has always been living there.
>>
>>175207931
That's just your headcanon anon. :^)

>>175207809
Except 9S basically demonstrated to N2 through the entire Tower sequence that conflict for the sake of conflict is pointlessly tragic.

So if I'm understanding the summary correctly 9S doesn't wake up, likely never will, and the realization of this causes 2B to stop moving and presumably shut down?
>>
>>175208176
>everyone thought E was some happy ever after
No? Pods mentioned that everything can happen. Taro just showed that bad ends can happen too.
>>
>>175208218
yes, 9S is basically dead.

I asked translator to confirm parts about Pod 153 coldness and more details about 2B being stuck.
>>
There was no reason for A2 to destroy the Tower. The Tower would destroy itself once the Ark fired and the network's influence on 9S would be gone with the Ark. Meaningless [C]ode.
>>
>>175208218
9S's data was impossibly corrupted most likely thanks to his own actions after ending C as he refused formatting just to keep 2B's memories and got utterly fucked up by a virus worse than 2B in route C.

And yes, 2B got so broken from a grief she lost her mind and shut down.
>>
>>175208341
New information is a branch off from E in the same way C/D branched off from A/B. Odds are well get different branches from E, especially with how Taro likes to milk his stuff with supplemental materials.
>>
>>175208341
I know it was a neutral ending and it's up to the viewer to decide what happens after but it gave the impression of hope.

Ark was there all along and was explicitly mentioned in 5th story, read it again.
>>
>>175209775
Ark was still connected to him in ending C, anon. It's that light with voices of child machines you see with A2. And judging by the concert script, he refused its offer in that ending.

The only difference is that in C he lives and through this life permanently dies by his own will and on ending D 2B stops him from being a retard and kills him before he gets completely fucked over by a virus and through this he has a chance to survive.
>>
>>175209679
What happens in C doesn't necessarily happen in D. You're making an assumption.

>>175209793
I'm honestly not expecting the ark to come into play again. I expect C -> E to be the canon ending. As far as I can recall the newest endings have been the ones expanded on in his games. So unless we get more in the future I suspect this concert shit to be what he builds on.
>>
the only difference in c/d was the final few minutes when the choice's made. until the final battle's end, everything is a shared timeline.

in c, a2 stomped 9s's shit in and destroyed the ark, which was likely at the other end of that light with kid laughs.

in d she hesitates and gets killed, so ark doesn't get fucked with and launches.

Yes, it's most likely what he had in mind. But partnership with Platinum probably allowed him to understand that there's value in companionship and that together they can achieve more.

Apparently second part of the concert script hints at that 9S prototype was behind backdoor plan unless i'm reading the script with a google translate wrong.

He also intended for the YoRHa date to be sent on Moon for more YoRHa models to be produced to serve as martyrs of man-made God. He also NAMED the project.

FFS, I was wondering why the text seemed familiar somehow. Oh well, at least my translation is pretty close to the official in-game one.

No, I have no theories as to when this occurs.

Here is the speech I mentioned in >>175211390

https://youtu.be/HxmOa5su7O4?t=728

You can see that in >>175211060 pod 153 practically says the exact same lines. It just sounds a bit incoherent because the text is translated from Japanese.
>>
>>175212731
welp then it might as well continue to our E after. But is highly unlikely as 9S is without a hand.
Maybe it was just a conclusion without "breaking a cycle" like we did in E.
>>
Proposal:
Please prepare the next thread for when we reach the bump limit.

So as far as i understand:
>YoRHa were initially created on sixth satellite orbit base directed by The Human Army's Technology Development Director, Zenia
>they were intended to be just a new base template for disposable combat androids, not treated like other androids because technically they are using enemy cores
>moon server was Zenia's plan for boosting troops morale, but it was intended to merely imitate human presence and Bunker we see in the game was designed as a base where androids can meet with that imitation of humans
>proto9S goes absolutely batshit at some point and fucks up over entire base while proto2B was in a middle of some experiment outside, kicks injured Zenia for shits and giggles
>says that he tampered with her plan and turned it into what became YoRHa in the game as her plan had a possibility of information leak his own plan would neutralize and produce disposable YoRHa models right on the moon after machines will destroy the Bunker via backdoor he implanted there by himself
>this plan will allow the God (Humanity-imitating moon server producing infinite YoRHa models after Bunker is done) and his martyrs (YoRHa troops) to be born
>gets stabbed, it only makes him laugh like a maniac and ask proto2B for a meaning of their birth

In other words, 9S is both the villain and main character of the story. Alpha and a fucking Omega, beginning and the end.

I can be wrong about some things because google translate, but wew lad.
>>
>>175212965
What do you mean by 9S being without a hand? He loses the hand he got from the dead 2B body in C, but E shows the pods bringing him a new hand regardless of whether you did C -> E or D -> E.
>>
>>175212237
The Japanese text spoken by Pod 153 at the start of ending E is identical.

>>175213260
if it follows concert 5th story than it doesn't make sense
>>
>>175212965
>But is highly unlikely as 9S is without a hand.
Pods are going to disconnect that thing regardless as it came from an infected unit. They are bringing him a replacement already which may as well mean they disposed of 2B's arm in advance.

you read incorrectly. It is probably that ENDING C is shit. So play the game and go for your E. Also you'd better gtfo from this thread anyway.

ending e is a double ending. both c and d branch into it, and while c seems to go to total shit, d is not touched.

since this is taro verse, both are canon.

This doesn't even make sense if it's supposed to be C-E, as 2B should not be alive, and if they did manage to revive her there's no explanation on why they can't revive the others. Especially considering that her only remaining data were in her sword, which was more like a diary than anything concrete
>>
Just beat game, was it stated that 2B was 2E before A2 said if at the very end? Felt like I was missing something when she said it.
>>
>>175213357
>https://pastebin.com/RiMtWAns
Could you elaborate on what doesn't make sense.
9S lost his left hand at the end of the fight with the 2B models, which was before the branching into C/D happened. So in E the pods will rebuild him with a new hand regardless of which path to E is taken.
>>
>>175214146
>was it stated that 2B was 2E before A2 said if at the very end
No, merely hinted.
9S understood tho. He's too smart for his own good. Way too fucking smart.
>>
>>175214146
There were hints about it throughout the game like the Amnesia quest
>>
>>175214168
read the 5th story please, I am not talking about the game now. This story is most likely the continuation of C and it ends with the same Pod 153 monolog as the end of E so people tried to connect this tory and actual in-game E. Well, they don't connect as 9S is still damaged like this story didn't happen.

I doubt even he is cruel enough to rob us from all our happiness.

But i suspect that he already touched post-D with Pods fishing. They await all main characters to wake up and 153 practices her speech for the occasion. Cute as fuck.

>part 5 pretty much throws A2 into a garbage bin

>>
>>175214865
There's no guarantee she was revived in either version of E. They placed her in the window away from the others. It may have been intended to be her final resting place. Pods didn't have backups of A2 that I can recall.
>>
>>175214865
>After this battle check the wall when I jumped out
>She wasn't there
Fucking lying comic
>>
>>175215193
nah 042 got her backup too. Otherwise, she wouldn't be shown at the end.
>>
>>175214368
I think I understand now. The monologue in the end is the same as in ending E but without the pods continuing and "breaking the cycle".
>>
>>175215193
They restored her long hair at the very least. Which is pointless if they don't have means to bring her back in some way. 042 was with her after all, he probably did a backup at least from a moment of their meeting.

Also from the strategy guide short story which obviously takes place in another branch of E:
>What you are saying is of no concern to me. I will exterminate the aji. The time when repairs are complete for 9S ... as well as 2B and A2 is near.

If you finished E then you have chapter select. Go back and farm for more good chips.

If he's bitching about losing the good plug in chips and made the point to mention ending E I assume he didn't sacrifice and he's got chapter select available. Otherwise why bring up clearing E at all? If he is replaying from scratch he'll have to stop being a pussy and get new chips the regular way.

>>175218209
Sorry, I know there's like four of the ball guys, so I can't remember most of the names, but the ones you fight in the tower.
I believe that their fight is similar to Simone's where it's scripted, and if you deal max damage to them to quickly, the fight will continue until the next scripted event.

I'm surprised by how many PCbros embraced the game. Very happy to see it getting love across both platforms.
I wonder if skipping Xbox was a mistake though. If I remember correctly the original sold as well on 360 as PS3 in the west. Granted, the Xbone isn't doing nearly as well as the 360's early years.
>>
>>175218803
There was a point where it just stopped fighting against me during the schmups, and I was dealing very little damage during A2's portion. The switching occurred faster and faster. I might be wrong, but i think it's because there's a certain number of switches that happen first. It does a good job of making the fight more impactful and lasting, though.

My only gripe with the Simone fight was when the camera went to bird's-eye view it was zoomed in too far. The Bongo Bongo robot (I forget it's name) from the original handled similar camera switching far better. "A Beautiful Song" is one of the best tracks on the OST though.

If you avoided getting hit, it zooms out to a pretty good degree. It's obnoxiously close if you do get hit and forced to do the hacking minigame, as it seems to reset it every time.
