NieR: Automata Spoiler Thread

Waaaaaaaaait where is this from? I finished A-E and didn't see this bit.

Flooded City where she crashed I believe. I think you don't see it because she crashes, then she slowly makes her way to the commercial facility. A2 and 9S never get a reason to go to the Flooded City, so yea...

Actually 9S does as the Resource Tower is there. That's another chance to take a gander at it
 
So while flooded city is brought up. There is a very suspicious elevator with a robot that tries to convince you there is "nothing good" behind the door and then detonates himself.

Can you actually get in here at all?


Edit:

also i should add so I don't double post. So is the implication at the end that the 3 androids 2B,9S and A2 were able to be entirely recovered? I'm pretty sure that is what the pods were talking about but they also never wake up.
 
I hope Taro releases something (game, dlc, short story) that explains who Accord is and why she can time travel, so everything is tied together.

I think she's an attempt to find the source to prevent the event that lead to Nier and fucking up our world there by saving our world.

There are a few of those Apologetic Machines, and the general consensus is that they're meant for future DLC.

That is indeed the implication. They don't wake up, because we're not meant to know at this point what the future holds for them. That's part of the gamble - things might not turn out well, but you have to hope.
 
Okay. Fuck. Wow.

I was watching some YT videos and saw this comment and that entire sequence just clicked.

"To unlock ending E, which brings back the characters to life with their memories and a second chance, you have to beat Bullet Hell section that is only beatable by connecting to the network and getting someones help, after the game explains that if you want to help someone like that you have to delete your data. It means the help you received was from someone who deleted their game so you could achieve the same ending they had."

So literally that sequence is only beatable because someone else sacrificed their data so I could see the actual ending. Oh lord. I need a lie down my mind has been thoroughly ravaged for the evening.

Yes and if you get hit it says in the corner that their data has been lost. E.g.: "ramyeon's data has been lost."

And the chorus you hear as they help you is from everyone involved with the game.
 
I'm dead. Yoko Taro has killed me.

Say, did you name your character the same as your profile here on Gaf? I believe someone with your name or very similar helped me...and I am sorry to say, that someones data got wiped because I was careless xD
 
Can someone help me with Type 4O Sword? I dont know how to trigger the quests that lead to that and it seems to be the only sword Im missing -_-

You get the order to check on the access point near the crater. Do that, then you can force the rest of it to trigger by TPing into the resistance camp after. I had the same thing happen to me :T

Load the chapter after the alien revelation > clear crater access point > warp to camp seems to force it to trigger.
 
Does anyone know how there are enough sacrificed saves in circulation for Ending E to work? Surely it isn't 1:1.

My guess is that it's a rotating queue. "Deleted" data is just moved to the back.

Personally, I'm fine with that. The idea that someone had to delete their own saves to let you reach the end is powerful enough.
 
Yeah, they have to be manipulating the data in some way, otherwise there would be way more data deleted than saved. I gotta wonder what happens if you're the first person to reach ending E though. They might have some built in save data for that purpose.
 
I think 9S's care for 2B who led to these horrible events , he cares for 2B and upload her memories till she can not handle the fact that she killing 9S all the time , if he did not upload her memories she will forget and every time she kill 9S without uploading her memories will make things way easier for her , the most human android is the resposible for all this tragedy , everything that humans are involved in is fucked up always man why are we so bad :(

Still, we’re gonna shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It’s like I’m carrying the weight of the world

I hope that someway, somehow
That I can save everyone of us
But the truth is that I’m only one girl

Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life…

No reason to think its not or that they aren't all dead.

? He says himself he isn't the original and the real one is out there somewhere making clones. The weapon head story say clones are appearing at least 500 years after the Automata takes place so either the clones can make clones too or he's alive.

I hated Emil form the first time I have seen him in OG Nier and now he is a secret boss is perfect for me cause I hate that MONSTER
 
thinking about it, is 'weight of the world' even sung from 2b's perspective? the contents of the song seem to not really match her actual beliefs/goal even if the general tone and message strongly fits
 
If anybody is interested in combo video mechanics stuff Donguri's last vid is using some of the new tech to make cool things.

Spoilery as fuck so I gotta post it here. Gonna quote myself form the OT if people are interested in the tech that goes with this stuff:

Is anybody else in here messing with the combat system mechanics at all? Been messing with some wild shit with some the cancel glitches.

(Idk what is and isn't a spoiler but it's just a bunch of stuff about animation cancel bugs)

Still haven't gotten my debug mode back because reasons, so I haven't been able to play around with it for awhile. The self-destruct cancel looks pretty interesting.

I don't like a character , what is this wrong ?
 
I personally think that if you've got no knowledge of NieR at all, reading up on NieR's backstory before playing Automata is a mistake.

There's a sense of mystery & intrigue on the notion of humanity that is purposeful that is lost if you've already read up and heard "oh, protagonist of first game fucked up the human race's hope of survival."

You discover bit-by-bit, through the Gestalt docs and Devola/Popola's minor drop feed of hints, a general understanding of how humanity messed up. For newcomers, reading up on NieR AFTER Automata feels like the better approach.

Hmm, you might be right. But I think the Emil stuff needs proper context.

I'm weird in that I have like...a tiny bit of context since I bounced off the first Nier shortly after the first climax where Kiane gets turned to stone. So, I recognized a bunch of stuff like Emile and the Library and the references to Yhona.
 
Reading everything here, and diving deeper into the lore I realise I missed a whole bunch of story stuff.

I think I'm going to just replay the whole thing. 100% run.

Maybe do the good thing and sacrifice my save file for the others! I saved in different slots btw, do they both get deleted?
