THE VOCAL KICKING UP WHEN HE PUTS HIS HANDS OVER HIS MOUTH LMAO

I dunno, I think by the end of it it's actually a really upbeat game?
I mean other than Ending E, it's not exactly the happiest thing around. And even that ending isn't really that happy when you realize the war never ended.

Haha yeah, fair enough, but man, I can't get nier and ending e out of my head all day.
It's going to be a game that sticks with me for a long time.

Ending E is super joyous, but yeah, it's really only that uplifting because the journey there really dragged the characters (and the player) through hell, haha.
If someone named Jackass tells you to do something, don't.
I'll be honest, even though she plain tells you that mackerel messes with androids, and I knew it was going to end horribly, I still ate the bloody thing.
I just wanted to make her happy. ;; I suppose it's her way of blowing off steam. She needs a way to work through her resentment, and apparently killing other androids is A-OK. Oh, I just love her.
Tbh very few games personally victimize the player the way Automata does. Once you reach Route C you're tired and beaten, and endings C and D are a downward spiral into hopelessness. Ending E wouldn't have worked out if the game wasn't as finely crafted as it was.

as i see it, canon ending for a possible future game is ending C. E is the happy ending, which will never be canon in Taro universe

Ending Y will be the canon ending going forward. Any other is wrong.

You mean the parry? Yeah, didn't feel the need for it since dodging, dodge-counters and skills like Overclock is so good. Still neat they put it in though.
I imagine that's only there after the tower shows up (since that picture is taken after that). It'd make sense, since the tower does seem to continue underground.
Someone on /r/nier noticed that what looks like one of the white tower defense minitowers shows up in the background of the factory escape. Strange huh?

Me too. I want more.

Yep, same here.
I'd replay it but Persona 5 is s close, so I'll replay Nier Automata after Persona 5.
Way off.
Very close to the end of route A. You should probably not read this thread until you finish at least C. For me route A took the longest because you are at your weakest, I was playing on hard, taking my time and did almost every side quest. If I had to say, route A took up maybe 40% of my time with the game. Different for others obviously.
Get the fuck out of here it's the spoiler thread and you're not even 33% done.
But if you're asking chances are you'll stop after ending A so you're not far from the end of that part.
Playing Persona 5 is not even doing much for me as I keep thinking about Automata :lol:
How screwed are we
Not if you care about Pascal. ;__;
Well, we already kind of saw that the network is fractured what with the N2s basically starting a civil war between them. Who's to nay-say that only a part of 'em fucked off / died and whatever remains will be the ones who will resuscitate the network, as presented in the story of the Emil head weapons, and re-ignite the war.
Do what I did and just buy the dumb trophies like fishing, retrieving 100 bodies, and looking up 2B's skirt 10 times.
Yeah that's a solid idea actually. All of those trophies sound terrible to get.
Nah, it feels right. First Platinum I've ever bothered to get, feels good. ;D

Fun fact! When given the choice to wipe pascal's memory or kill him you can also just walk away with equally heart wrenching results!

Something perhaps interesting I've thought about; between Drakengard, D3, NieR and now NieR Automata the only characters to receive any salvation in the end are the non-human Androids and Machines, both of whom were designed for a cyclical purpose and eventually broke away from it with the destruction of YoRHa and the Machines leaving for space.
Even Emil, the last human on Earth, gets fucked over in the end. .

Yeah, that was the one decision in route C that I actually just straight out undid by reloading and then just wiped his memory instead. It just turned out that it wasn't really that much of a winning option either, given the pitch black irony of Pascal the Merchant.

Cmon son, this is a Yoko Taro game.
Bruh, I've been on this train since Drakengard. I know all about Yoko Taro. It was more about what kind of shit Pascal would get up to after the reset, not if it went dark or not.
I should see if I can finish Drakengard someday. I did Ending C and maxed out Hymir's Finger, but I don't know how much farther I can go, no matter how good cannibal space babies and rhythm games in the skies of Shinjuku would be.
I still think that if Drakengard had better gameplay, or was at least playable, it would be a true masterpiece.

Fishing trophy is super easy to get. And quite honestly as you need to fish to complete your pod and weapon collection trophies, you really aren't saving yourself much time at all.
Upskirts and no-pants trophies, sure, because they are kinda jokey trophies in the first place. But fishing... Hell no, its worth doing just for the info-texts on some of the items.

If the Emil Heads are reliable, it seems like Tuba and 9S didn't get a happy ending after all. And if we go by the C->E progression from Chapter Select, then the Machines were denied their Ark as well.
I was gonna walk out on Pascal the first time because I didn't think it was right to wipe his memory. I felt like that was something he should have tried to learn to live with. But he made me feel like shit when I was walking away and so I just wiped them. This time I'll walk away though. No ragrets.
I recognize that the cyclical nature of conflict is something key to Taro's work, especially NieR, but I also think that the conflict has, in some small way, been changed. 2B, 9S, and A2 are free from fighting. Adam, Eve and the Machine network are off in space or are all dead. Jackass is about to bust open the secret behind YoRHa. One way or another things have changed.
Like, NieR's story is ultimately tragic, it ends with the extinction of humanity for god's sake, but it still happened. It still mattered. A new Shadowlord didn't just pop out of the blue.
Plus while the Emil Heads do confirm the existence of Machines, the descriptions are so vague that it's hard to get a grip on what's going on other than "stuff is happening."
I feel like just going "respawn lol" cheapens the story.
