For the first half she has a fixed rotation so it wouldn't surprise me if they made an effort to have it sync, after the adds phase it's all random though. The bells are triggered by certain attacks and not actually a part of the song which helps it sync too.
Yoko Taro for some reason likes that kinda stuff. Drakengard 1 and 3 had secret final bosses that were rhythm fights rather than action fights and if you didn't get the rhythm correct you died. Shit was some of the hardest boss fights I ever experienced and Yoko Taro is a damn sadist for making those bosses.
@@KP_Uravity nice, i saw it gameplay and didn't like it. Automata looks like just running and destroy things with beautiful osts and a little of loot to look for.
@@blueknight7100 yeah you're really underselling and under estimating the NieR games. Replicant is outdated compared to automata in terms of game structure for quests. But if both games have the capacity to make you cry despairingly, then just calling it a running around and killing stuff and finding loot with a nice ost is really doing it a disservice. You're making the games sound so basic, when anyone who's played the games will tell you that they are some of the most complex games out there.
There's a lot of voice stuff where the volume is based on your camera yeah...And pretty sure the flash at the end with the robot in the baseball cap is supposed to be her imagining the pod "looking her way"
@@12Tedder Wasn't really his fault since he never saw her as someone that she want him to see. Both were just a victim of the situation that they didn't ask for. She lacks of love lesson & he doesn't love her.
@@janterri3539 Not really.. Dubbing ruins so much. Takes away the true emotions of the makers of the game. If its meant to be in Japanese it should be played with the original voices. Just like people dub anime and stuff like that.. So much gets lost in the translation.
@@tblomerta I get that but it’s not like it’s just one sided and completely better, some of the dialogue in English is phenomenal and the actors too, more phenomenal than the Japanese version, there is a silver lining.
By the way, the HUD looks like this for a reason. On very hard mode, you die in one hit and no lock in, so your attacks may not always hit. People underestimate how hard this game is sometimes. Even on the normal difficulty, it’s still a hard game.
The anime is said to be one of Yoko Taro's main inspirations. You can see the inspiration in other games of the franchise, mainly Drakengard 3 and Sinoalice
ohmygod, does anyone realize that everytime the circle laser or the bouncing bullet launched there is a bell ringing EXACTLY as when it's fired! and it is making the song and the battle more epic! so the game developer also synchronize the attacks sound effect with the music!! actually i found many version of this song including with the bell. but still, oh my god i really appreciate towards this game and whoever behind it. just from a man who really loves bells ringing sound.
The bells are all tied directly to her attacks, not the music. So past the first phase where she has a fixed rotation the bells will chime differently every time.
I really loved playing Nier automata. Came for the style and Soundtrack and stayed for the story. This fight is really well orchestrated. I would give a finger or two if I could experience automata again like the first time. Not knowing anything
Memories of playing this during a happier time. Nobody even knew what Covid was, my friend Dan was still alive, I hadn’t had my heart broken yet…4 years later and the world is unrecognizable, as am I.
This fight brought me to the game. I thought this would be the most emotional and most impressive fight with the most tragic backstory in the whole game ... little did I know they would put that in squares with each of the routes, applying an infinite amount of loss and despair on the whole setting ... and you understand more and more what really happened.
I just came by to watch this song with the full fight after watching Alex Moukala's React vid, and hoooooollly cow, do I have more appreciation for the nuances that went in to the song and fight, and it's absolutely cemented as one of my favorite. At 4:39, after her dress has burned away and she falls over backwards, a hand on her chest, and the song comes over, Chaos language of course, but Alex mentions it sounds Italian for "It hurts here in my heart," and I just cannot. T.T Simone, I am so sorry you went through this.
This game really makes u feel the "its just low level how hard can it be?, wait why is it that it took only 5 bar damaged on my attack?, WHY ITS ATTACK TOOK 26 OF MY HP BAR WTF!" vibe
That is the best boss for me. Considering your game experience for the 3 boss the "fight experience" for the first time is amazing compared with other boss fights. And freaking good playing at very hard, can't take a single hit!
It's really good, just make sure you keep playing after the credits roll. It's divided into 2 parts and presents the end of each part as an ending which causes a lot of people to just kinda stop half way through.
I bought it recently myself, i see so many cosplays of this character and finally got the game to see what it was all about and not dissapointed at all, definitely worth getting if you get the chance, the whole game has that epic feel and sound, bosses, story, etc 👍
I love this boss battle so much. The aesthetic, Simone's character design, the OST, the boss mechanics, and Simone's innocent tragic story. My favorite boss battle in the game.
i never play nier before, i just found out this video on my recommendation but i can tell that the music sync perfectly with the battle. this is masterpiece
This is my first time hearing the characters with the English dub and it sounds so strange haha. I like 2B’s English voice but 9s sounds so much manlier and stern compared to his soft, emotional Japanese voice. Very interesting! The robots still sound amazing and this boss fight was probably my favorite.
For those who are still watching this, at 2:52 you can see one corpse with his eyes covered just like 9s. 9s is a hacker. Which can give the info of why the boss can hack
I really love the idea of the machines being left to their own devices on earth and doing their best to replicate humanity and it just resulting in tragedy and madness.
when the damn crucified corpses rain down. and her attacks syncing with the music. and her tortured screams. "someone help!" the 8 bit hacking music. the whole thing is so dramatic and sad and surreal.
I'm playing it on hard and having trouble with this fight. First time playing it i have shity chips probably my katana is level 2 and I'm use beast lord for heavy attack. Always die at the part where she jumps and shoots out the red rings on the floor one always gets me
This is the only boss I fought in hard mode because I was so tired of losing all my HP in one or two hits. Regardless I enjoyed my time fighting this boss. I’m at the start of route B and it’s still the best boss so far.
I keep revisiting this for the music. So good! Also, the State of the Arc podcast is covering this game! They're going to be doing a deep dive on this for weeks! Usually around 1 to 2 chapters a week, but it's such a philosophy driven podcast and now they're covering the most philosophy driven game! HYPE!

This boss design is so amazing that her move synchronize with the music.
This isn’t the only one… in replicant popola doesn’t start dancing until song of the ancients begins
Man when i learned yoko did the Nier raid u can't imagine how much i Farmed that Raid only For the mechanic and Fun
The music synchronizes with her moves.
@@goodbrainwork check popola and devola’s fight ..
Thus boss was mad annoying but not the most annoying
OST so epic that i enjoyed being destroyed 20+ times.
The best part of it are the bells whenever it attacks, wich kinda makes it unique every time you do it.
x2
Same lol
sounds like
*skill issue*
Does anyone else notice that the bosses mechanics & attacks are in sync with the ost? Lol for some reason it’s crazy decent.
For the first half she has a fixed rotation so it wouldn't surprise me if they made an effort to have it sync, after the adds phase it's all random though. The bells are triggered by certain attacks and not actually a part of the song which helps it sync too.
She’s the Prima Donna after all, she must stay on rhythm
This isn’t the only boss.. check popola and devola fight in replicant.

I'd give anything to experience this game for the first time again, but especially this boss fight
I only played the demo and saw this video.
I'm so excited to play this game someday
@@blueknight7100 Replicant is out now too! It's a remake of the first nier. But you don't need it to play or understand automatas story
@@KP_Uravity nice, i saw it gameplay and didn't like it.

4:28 "someone help!" Omg, I never heard her say that before. All she wanted was to be beautiful and Jean-Paul to see her. 😢
There's a lot of voice stuff where the volume is based on your camera yeah...And pretty sure the flash at the end with the robot in the baseball cap is supposed to be her imagining the pod "looking her way"
Idk why but i laugh the moment i realise her crush is Jean-Paul dude take a big part in a Android Massacared by just existing
@@EagleEye-rw5pn hahaha that's true
Giving a robot self awareness is consider to be inhumane
;-; noooo!!! I have never heard it either... My heart
0:21 best frickin part!! Omg it sends chills down my spine every time
That third *'AAAAAARH'*
I replay that part so many times I love it so much
1:05 has got to be one of the best parts too when the lasers come out right when the music picks up
@@icommentedthetitlelulw503 thats perfectly sync
@@icommentedthetitlelulw503 they do that multiple times throughout the game I'm pretty sure. What a masterpiece
Hell yeah
4:28 I really felt sad for her when her clothes got burnt away and she said someone help
all she wanted was to look *beautiful* nothing more
So that Senpai Jean Paul would notice her, but Jean Paul is kinda a dick so that didn't happen
@@12Tedder Wasn't really his fault since he never saw her as someone that she want him to see. Both were just a victim of the situation that they didn't ask for. She lacks of love lesson & he doesn't love her.
I notice the real face under the mask, so I understand why Jean dont notice her.
slaywee her backstory is really sad
“Love”***
This is one unforgetable game, this introduced me to the series and had to get the original Nier after playing this.
I’m sure you’ll play the remake as well right
I found the remake a bit underwhelming. Automata was a lot more immersive IMHO.
Original was very disappointing compared to automata
I played drakengard. Yes, 1-3 just because of automata
Automata is still the best game i've played
3:22
That transition between operatic and 8-bit. I'm M E L T I N G
This game constantly gives eargasms
god damn this is art.
5:40 is why Jean-Paul wasn't interested.
ха-ха...
It’s a trap!
@@Jack-mt3fw what are you mean? :0
Great job !!!! This is how the game should be played beautifully and elegantly
Maybe till the hacking part where I had no idea what was going on lol.
it should be played on the original japanese audio >_

1:05 - 1:10 My favorite part. So much power between the music and the attack working in sync.
Fact: this boss (whose real name is Simone) is inspired in Simone Beauvoir, not only the design, but also its ideology.
She’s even called Beauvoir in Japan
By the way, the HUD looks like this for a reason. On very hard mode, you die in one hit and no lock in, so your attacks may not always hit. People underestimate how hard this game is sometimes. Even on the normal difficulty, it’s still a hard game.
Yeah I definitely died enough times for it to be fun if that makes any sense lol
The boss gave me Madoka Magica witch vibes. She looks a bit like Sayaka's witch form and giggles mid-fight like the Walpurgisnacht.
This. That is why i felt like i knew this boss before while i was fighting it
YASSSS EXACTLY BRO
The anime is said to be one of Yoko Taro's main inspirations.
You can see the inspiration in other games of the franchise, mainly Drakengard 3 and Sinoalice
It's not just this boss. The entire game has a lot of Madoka vibes, also Evangelion.
The whole game reminds me a lot of madoka, mainly cause of all the existentialism shit.
1:17 that dodge was so satisfying
ohmygod, does anyone realize that everytime the circle laser or the bouncing bullet launched there is a bell ringing EXACTLY as when it's fired! and it is making the song and the battle more epic! so the game developer also synchronize the attacks sound effect with the music!! actually i found many version of this song including with the bell. but still, oh my god i really appreciate towards this game and whoever behind it. just from a man who really loves bells ringing sound.

@@12Tedder Could say her attacks are timed with the music. The whole fight is kind of a dance after all.
That's probably why there is a bell version that was made
The bells could also be a reference to the Watchers from Drakengard when fighting them. Would makes sense considering the red eyes and madness.
I really loved playing Nier automata. Came for the style and Soundtrack and stayed for the story.
This fight is really well orchestrated. I would give a finger or two if I could experience automata again like the first time. Not knowing anything
That was me just last week :) knew nothing about the game and had never seen gameplay. Long story short My jaw was on the ground
this kinda feels like a Drakengard 3 boss with all the music synchronized attacks, then again this is a sequal to Drakengard.
That's more just from it being made by the same core people. Same geniuses and prodigies.
NieR is actually a spin off to Drakengard, actually. Kind of like how Persona is the spin off to Shin Megami Tensei.
This game blew my mind story wise I didn't think it would be this good. Gameplay wise it was awesome
This game really is something else. Im glad I bought it and didnt give up on it. What a masterpiece.
Memories of playing this during a happier time. Nobody even knew what Covid was, my friend Dan was still alive, I hadn’t had my heart broken yet…4 years later and the world is unrecognizable, as am I.
Sorry for your loss man.
thanks man I appreciate you
I’m sorry for your loss. The last sentence really resonated within me. So much has happened since this amazing game was released.
Very sorry for your loss man

And freaking good playing at very hard, can't take a single hit!
I have no idea why they’re fighting this robot opera lady, but this is epic.
The short version is that she turned to cannibalism trying to live up to unrealistic beauty standards.
the machine went crazy, collecting android bodies as ornaments to make itself more beautiful
I want play it again, what an amazing battle, love how sounds the beautiful theme with those creepy robotic laughs.
I never heard of this game, and this showed up on my recommended videos. I don’t regret watching this out of curiosity. It looks awesome!

I cannot hear it

1:05 I noticed how the ost has a little bit of that orchestra the O'Fortuna and I love it wow it's amazingly well made
i never play nier before, i just found out this video on my recommendation but i can tell that the music sync perfectly with the battle. this is masterpiece
I like this kind of boss/enemy that you can relate to
If someone said that loves her, nothing would be like this!
This was the most epic opening of a battle ive ever had
So that's why La Signora weekly bossfight is so familiar.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Genshin actually has a lot of stuff that reminds me of NieR.
Both Gestalt/Replicant as well as Automata.
Holy shit I never realized when she hacks you the song plays in it's digitalized version. This game is so fucking gooooooodddd.
2:00
All the songs in the game have an 8 bit version that plays during hacking yeah
やっぱこれは名作だな。
English ver.も新鮮で良い！

I like 2B’s English voice but 9s sounds so much manlier and stern compared to his soft, emotional Japanese voice. Very interesting! The robots still sound amazing and this boss fight was probably my favorite.
The Current PGR Boss (CN Server) is really similar to this, PGR really takes their inspiration from NieR
This is what a Madoka game should looks like. Especially that Oktavia von Seckendorff thinggy
Agreed.
I wished I could play the game that already exists. It's a shame there's only a version for PSP. An undubbed one at that.
this is so impressive. i'm on normal mode and i'm still struggling 😭
It’s only proper that you play this on hard…it just feels so much more incredible this way
4 años han pasado y sigo sin poder olvidar este juego, esta leyenda
For those who are still watching this, at 2:52 you can see one corpse with his eyes covered just like 9s. 9s is a hacker. Which can give the info of why the boss can hack
Thus, in becoming more human, the machines also became really stupid.
Best game and ost of 2017!
I can't wait the anime on this chapter! so awesome
Thank you for showing me that Nier is not only a shooting game, because it is at least for me.
The music in this boss fight is so fucking epic !
Here is some wisdom to the human race understanding something can beat any difficulty.
The thumbnail had such “Oh god” energy to it
Am I the only one who thinks this thing looks like a lovechild of Kriemhild Gretchen and Octavia von Seckendorff from Madoka?
I did and man just think of a crossover with this
Sorry I don't
Are you speaking English
1:58 was awesome
I think I never noticed cuz I usually play with background music off but Nier has such a beautiful soundtrack
Can't even pass prologue in Very Hard mode
The prologue is one of the worst parts since no check points... it took me 7 hours + something minutes to get past but felt so good at the end.
My fav boss out of any video game ever
Can felt horror sensation of this machine blend with her music.
Seeing this again.. Listening to the Soundtrack.. Ouh my God, how I adore this game.
I really love the idea of the machines being left to their own devices on earth and doing their best to replicate humanity and it just resulting in tragedy and madness.
My favorite boss of every videogame i ever played
When MGS boss enters nier world.
This is truly a game for the ages and a prime example that they are an Art Form
A "Beautiful" "Song"
Two words that describe her and her purpose
Masterpiece artwork
Yo I didn’t even notice that her normal robot self is in the center of her neck
when the damn crucified corpses rain down. and her attacks syncing with the music. and her tortured screams. "someone help!" the 8 bit hacking music. the whole thing is so dramatic and sad and surreal.
i watch alot of clip about this fight scene i really love it how you played it and end it so nice !
Aah i remember this time when Satoru Gojo is still a youngster.
finally beat this boss on very hard last month, great to see this haha
I'm playing it on hard and having trouble with this fight. First time playing it i have shity chips probably my katana is level 2 and I'm use beast lord for heavy attack. Always die at the part where she jumps and shoots out the red rings on the floor one always gets me
I gave up on chips pretty fast with very hard lol, I don't think you can level your weapons past 2 at that point with mats you can get.
