Zero and Kaine also have a lot in common personality wise, too. A violent temper, swearing like a sailor, difficulty forming emotional attachment to others, hate themselves, and have no desire to live other than for revenge. Also both their closest relationships are with a childlike, yet powerful being they have a somewhat maternal relationship with (Mikhail and Emil). They are both attractive, and intentionally wear revealing clothing to affirm their gender/sexuality. (Zero being a former child prostitute, and Kaine being trans/intersex). A lot of games have a contrived and silly lore reason why female characters show so much skin (looking at you, Quiet from MGS5), but Kaine actually makes a lot of sense. There are a lot of similarities between Zero and Kaine, and knowing Yoko Taro, there's not way it is not intentional.

This is the best hollow knight story video I’ve found. Why is every other video an hour and a half long?! Great job.

❤

finally, a complete yet concise video summary of this game! Thank you!!!

Thanks for this. I originally played these games because I just wanted to destroy shit with swords. Was a little tricky to track the story without being a hardcore fan.

Watching this and several other nier lore videos after completing nier:automata has been fucking crazy and alil hard to keep up with ngl 💀 but this does help understand it, great video 👍🏼

It’s thousands of years apart but Emeil still remembers and it’s soul crushing. He’s gathered everything from the original game to make his safe place in the original place even though a mall is over it.

AFTER WONDERING THIS PLAIN WE CALL THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MORE NieR LOREEEE

I had the thought that the other Nier being playable is because Yonahs mother is the only person that has vague memories of them, as the recycled vessel themselves was a replicant that perhaps gave up their existence, their body, to give the mother more time to live, turning them human, and perhaps the black scrawl that killed them was likely a lie by Popola and Devola, or their mother themselves. And the writings is trying to recall their memory, so faintly, from replicant life, human life and gestalt life. Kainé remembers the protagonist Nier in almost a similar fashion. No residue of their voice, just their vague influences. Protagonist Nier doesn't acknowledge having a son/father, Yonah doesn't acknowledge them. It's very likely also some mixed memories of the past during the gestalt project, like the basketball court.

Splendid video bro. I was currently playing Nier Automata got to ending E and chose the option to sacrifice my save file it sucks! But i finished Nier Replicant last month now i know their connections and lore thanks to you but im still depressed about both endings and faith of the project gestalt its so tragic that all white haired Waifus end up in a bad ending. Anyway ill be trying to play the Drakengard series wish it has a good ending. Btw Good video man keep it up +1 sub supporting you from now on

My man Yoko Taro is depressed and obsessed with flowers. Hope to see a new NieR game soon

Never played hollow knight before, but I might

where's part 3?

yo is it connected to automata or replicant?

yoko taro fucks w our mind

damn ur videos are fucking greaTT keep making

Kainé is my favorite! I just finished Replicant 1.22 (with all endings) and now want to do all endings for Automata… Thanks for this video :)

Can you make part 3 now?

The game had ended thier services as of 4/28/2024

minor thing her inflorence has hex code as her title which translate to Aberrattion (41626572726174696f6E)

well i watched many videos of the story, even hour long ones, but i didn't really understood it, cause english isn't my native language and i don't understand much hard words, and those others always adds forced humour or jokes which sometimes i din't get and that also made me not understand the plot, but however the way you described was pure one, it was hollow 😅 and thanks to you now i know the (mostly) full lore of the Hollow Knight 🥰 thanks a lot 💖

Did you end up doing more? @rexicon

is fio from drakengard??? like she's from a village run by stuffy nobles who mistreat the lower class! nothing like Nier... but very much like Drakengard... that'd be pretty cool now that I'm thinking about it.

I feel the Collector is a failed kings mold that ended up getting locked up since he was just being a goof ball...but he may have helped gather the grubs to be examined to see how their metamorphosis worked but probably started doing his own thing and the king locked him up with his already existing collection where he would probably going even more crazy since he couldnt get out to his other captured grubs...his precious

Before I searched any lore videos I thought: 🔘The whole Drakengard thing with the flowers and the white dust 🔘Humans getting the red eye disease 🔘Humans creating androids 🔘Humans and androids creating replicants to preserve their bodies and memories 🔘Replicants gaining sentience while the human memories succumb to the black scroll 🔘Replicant ending causes humans to die off 🔘Replicants slowly lose control and later alien machines arrive 🔘Alien machines wipeout the rest of the replicants 🔘Androids are left to fight a hopeless war

No caim?

Automata, like Automaton, is correct. But if you really want to reach, I could see Yoko using it as its mispronuciation is similar to "stigmata" which fits the story. lol

Hope you recover soon @Rexicon

2 years late to subbing but good job summarizing the story for the games :)

damn

I'm a big fan of Neir Automata but this was all so confusing... I'm not sure how canon any of it is supposedly to be or how it relates to any of the endings in Automata.

I want to see a game that covers Emil and his war with the aliens.

These two games are so fascinating and weird with how it shifts from fantasy with magic to sci fi with robots. A story spanning thousands of years... humans going extinct... Lots of sadness all round.

I know I’m waaaay late to this game…. And let me say…. Best Metroidvania ever!! But you got all this from playing the game? I had to come watch this video because I had 0 idea what was going on. 😂 can’t wait for silk song…. I got so lost in this game so many times. I hope they do a better job of helping players track objectives. I had to “back track” so many times…. Just trying to figure out what to do. It was fun…. But frustrating at the same time. If you like platforms and Metroidvania games…. Play this!!!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

Stop everyone....what am I looking at? What game and never this? Tell me everything...

Just finished Replicant and DAMN this game universe is soooooo dense, everytime i seach for something 20 things more appear. I have to stop searching otherwise i will get spoilers from Automata. Great video

love your voice, you're really great storyteller

Sorry sunshine...but I'd rather go full Caim/Angelus on Kainé and Nier. She understood their words, yet you spared none, not even Kalil and Beepy (although I don't judge her fof the Heap, I didn't like the Gestalts from there nor the ones under Gretel). And the Shadowlord was Nier himself...yet the replicant treated him like any other mindless Shade. The hypocrisy... Let the world... buuuuuurn ! Let the aliens, the machines and whatever androids that are created in this timeline have the our legacy. Our protagonists made humanity worthless by being its champions, like the ones in "Drakengard".

Who the F*ck wrote those subtitles? Atrocious lmao

Wait intersex? you telling me she's both male and female ???😢

You forgot to mention that Garuda is also a male in myths, and was even a male when introduced in FF3 before he got gendered into the female (waifu) we now know.

Thank you for this recapp I forgot the story on the Alliance!

What's the music in the back please

thnx ^ ^

I tried reading and understanding the lore......but it seemed like basically nobody was speaking english......it seemed like everybody was speaking like people did in the 12th century.....it was fucking annoying....I still read most of it, but gave up trying to understand anybody and started to just no longer give a shit......I think it was a bad move on the devs to not make things more clear and straight forward....

I've played nier reincarnation latest chapter and I think it's probably the arc from automata. It was mentioned that The Cage was once a paradise where all the characters in the memories live. It was then attacked by some black foes which then turned it to The Cage. It could also be the divine tree but im really not sure

Reminds me of the solid snake simulation deal in MGS.

The machines found the seed of resurrection. It's explained in some documents from the raids.

I love this game, but for the difficulty, especially on Path of Pain, is insane. I really hope that for the background obstacles, it would be less hard.
