You have to play more to fully understand why it will all make sense, plus she hints at a little
when she kills 9s.
To be fair, Taro said not to expect much from what ended up being the best story/campaign of this console generation so far.
Alright, so I just finished Route D, but I'm quite confused, and I definitely feel like something's wrong.
I'm in the credits, where the pods ask me if I want them to survive. Then I'm suddenly fighting off the credits in a hacking minigame. Am I supposed to actually win? Because I die, and then it stops if I decide to give up. If I'm supposed to win, then that would make a lot more sense, because I haven't had a bug all this time lol
I'm probably supposed to beat the whole aren't I...

Okay, I was so confused. Really lame that I get stumped at the very end, dilutes the moment of it all, but oh well.

Awesome, thanks for the answers on Gestalt/Replicant guys. I should've figured it wasn't clear cut given what series we're talking about.

It's a shit way to end the game tbh. Make sure you're connected to the servers too, it's basically unbeatable if your aren't online. I got kicked off because the update got rolled out when I was doing it and I sat there for like an hour failing at the Square Enix checkpoint.

So to get
to show up in route C you have to redo that section at the factory each time? That's lame.

So, the relic finding quest in the desert... that quest name is totally a JoJo's reference right?
Ah gotcha

Alright after the (true ending spoilers)
I really want to play nier but it's impossible to track down a copy under 60, even used. And with it not being digital on the PSN store isn't helping either....
save deleting fiasco that happened last night, i rushed through it on a previous save and very close to finishing it again so i can resume with clearing all the sidequests & optional bosses

Lol I got stuck there too.
I actually really loved that ending and thought it was well done.
The way the game taunts you whenever you die, how it becomes near unbeatable towards the end, the way it cycles through each rendition of the weight of the world, until finally another player comes to your aid, and all those logos that were kicking you butt a second ago go down with ease and your treated to a beatiful new rendition of weight of the world, meanwhile other players save files are getting deleted whenever you get hit. I loved E.

After the first half hour of it cycling through a handful of taunts because it can't trigger the help while offline it gets a little old, to say the least. And I thought the fact that you spend more than half the game hacking dragged it down enough without them
making the beat the game goes out on a super dragged out hack-a-thon, basically.
Made the moment awesome to me.

I think it got ruined for you since you weren't online. Online took me about 15 mins with it.

Online saved it for me. Put a damn big smile on my face once I realized what was happening.

My game froze while trying to load the map
. Can't remember when I had saved prior to that. Awesome.

It's stupid that they'd even make it only work online, and it was still stupid when I did it online. It's like if they ended Bioshock with a ten minute hacking sequence or if Mass Effect ended with you having to probe a few dozen planets to find the last cutscene.

Money really isn't an object in this game unless you a die a whole bunch.

That's what I thought before I tried getting all the weapons maxed for ending Y

World of the Recycled Vessel in the original NieR was kinda eh. I'm personally hoping for Automata DLC to be closer to MGR but that seems to be too optimistic.

10h and still no ending, is that bad?
Your comparisons are bad, the entire Nier franchise is HUGE on Bullethell elements and they decided to end it with a pure bullethell sequence, nothing out of line with that
And if it would work offline there'd be no point to the entire part of helping people at all and the underlying message of overcoming struggle together

9S is awful to play with, he is so boring.

Nope, not at all. I played about 18 hours before I reached Ending A, the wonders of side quests.
Personally it took me near 30h to reach my first ending since I was trying to do every sidequest and get all the level 3 weapons I could. Also because I did a lot of it before learning you get fast travel later on.

Do you need to find ALL archives for the Data on the OId World quest from Pascal? I just went of the wiki and collected everything that falls under the Old World Information category, but apparently I'm missing something.
Took me around 17 hours.

It's more like crappy Geometry Wars than a bullet hell game. And I'm sure the underlying message will mean a lot to people who can't get the real ending when the servers go down.
And Mass Effect is pretty big on planet probing

it's not. its Keiichi Okabe
Okabe has done Tekken 6, NIER, Drakengard 3 and now NieR: Automata.
His studio is MONACA and his OSTs have been GOAT material especially NIER and NieR: Automata
