I love these games. Never before was I moved emotionally like this by a game. Glad I decided to pick it up recently it’s a hidden gem I should have never slept on.
when i played this i literally stopped there looking at the lunar tears for at least 10 minutes , listening to what has become my favourite ost ever , almost crying. sometimes i just play for barely 15 minutes just to go there and watch the flowers while listening to that ost
What made me sad further is when you meet another Scanner type, he talks about how people doesn't call him Nines anymore when the scanner type asked him if he can call him Nines. He said "no one calls me Nines anymore" knowing that 2B just died and the entirety of YorHa was decimated. He also lost his joy and meaning of living, that's probably the reason why he said "I'll be with you before long." He knows that he will die anyways especially since he lost his sanity while he fought 2b clones and the revelation of 2B's true role. He just lost his will to live when 2B was killed by A2 in an act of mercy. As for 2B, she hesitated in telling 9S that she truly loved her in the secret last message in her flight unit. The reason to this is probably because she doesn't want 9S to suffer further and broken from the inside. She wanted the original 9S to stay safe and sane. Yoko Taro made us cry when we saw him try to keep the memories of 2B he had and as he slaughtered 2B's clones. Really depressing. And I want a sequel..
@@Cyrotechnium she already loved him, so not much more. She confesses in her last message, although it is only clear in the japanese version, where she says "suki" (like/love you) but cuts the word short and changes subject immediatly.
Id be a liar if I said I wasn't fighting tears at some points during this game, this being one of them. 2B's death scene actually broke me though, I lost it when she called him nines.
Spoilers if you haven't beat Route C. Seeing all of the children die from suicide in the factory was depressing. What's worse, if you delete his memories and visit his village, you see him sell the body parts of the children he raised. Having his memory wiped, he calls them junk. It's just incredibly dark and sad. Fought tears over that because I really liked Pascal. 2B crying and dying are also pretty sad moments. I feel the scene that gets less talked about is when 9S "kills 2B" when he's in her data/memories or something like that. I thought that was pretty sad too.
I was so not expecting that. I was like "huh, hasn't the sidequest ended? I have to go to the mall now? Ok, maybe Emil has something to say..." and BAMM boy I was devastated. 9S just learned how humans used to mourn people they loved with flowers and he just knew the right place to do so.
By the time I finished with ending E just about 30 minutes ago (my shirt is soaked in salty tears) I noticed I had 6 missing quests. I know I didn't finish the 3 colosseums and I assume the other 3 are Emils 2 quests and this one. I'm also mad that this wasn't in the main storyline, because I bawled my eyes out at this video, and I'm sure that if I had done this quest naturally, this moment would have been even more painful
I'm not even a huge 9s fan like I know many people are but... is it impossible to not get choked up/cry (at least a little) during this scene? That uncertainty of having/not having a soul and hoping to see those we love again is absolutely killer. This game is in my top 5 games of all time without question... scenes like this make it clear why it could be a favorite for anyone passionate about deep, meaningful storytelling.
I go back to that cave many times stand there for long periods of time, listening to that goddamn beautiful Nier theme and try not to cry......damn this game hit you HARD.
A game that left such an impression on my heart that it even urged me to delete my pirated version and buy it for myself, and my brother. I need more people to share this heart wrenching journey with
One thing that makes this scene shine was the ending. [Heavy spoilers] If you chose to go with Adam, 9S would say nothing. If you don't go with Adam, 9S would say: "So, that's where you were, 2B." Back when completing the side quest "Lord of the Fallen," 9S questions the existence of souls, God, and Heaven, and wonders if dead machines would reach Heaven. 2B responds: "They'll find out in the end. And so will we." I needed a 10 minute break after finishing Gathering Keepsakes. 🕊️
I remember I came here on instinct. After 2B died I felt so..empty. The world in the game just seemed to look uglier. More barren. More hopeless. Needed to get away. Needed to be reminded there was something besides ugliness in this world.
I take bittersweet solace in the fact that 2B cut off her blindfold just before she died and then 9S was thrown off the bridge and at some point he returned and retrieved her blindfold .. ;_;
I realized after rewatching this video many times that this is unironically beautiful. 9s could of referenced suicide with that final line and man it hits like a truck.
Suddenly I had an urge to imitate a certain video game character while witnessing this in the game myself, here's the quick rendition; Requiescat in pace, 2B..
I swear to god, majority of not all the side quests hits so hard. This game story isn't that long but because of all the fun side quests, it took me forever
this game will forever hold a special place in my heart, i just love it so much and i’ll do anything to forget it all and play it again just to go through everything all over
still coming back to this video, my father died some months ago and this scene break me so much that it help me a bit with the tension life is giving me. Thanks for this video
9S side of the story after 2B dies is absolute carnage as he loses it little by little with every cleared box, but this small moment of peaceful resignation is beautiful beyond all possible description, a shame it is one you can miss entirely if you focus on the main quest too much.
Upon my first walkthrough of the game I didn't gather all the lunar tears so I was always wondering why is this room in the main menu when you're playing route C. Boy was it a stab right through my heart when I Iearnt the truth.
You could let the gameplay record more I.... I was crying and.... I don't know I think I wanted a little more while the music was still going.... thx by the way for the video
so i'm checking out these little things i missed when i played the game and now i'm thinking i DON'T want to play gestalt/replicant. this is enough depression for me thanks.
its the elevator that is in the abandoned shopping mall. you need to finish quests gathering keepsakes and emil memories on 3rd playtrough (route c) after some time not right at the beginning.
You need to collect the lunar tear flower first, you need to do that during the first part of the game with 2b or 9s. Just talk to Emil after completing the mission at the castle and you'll start the quest.
This part broke me just as hard as 2B finally calling him Nines
Even harder when you realize that the developers didn't want any of them to live. Shooting them in Ending E was the only way to save them

Damn, was 9S contemplating suicide?
He went to a suicide mission later. 1 vs all machines.
EikNachuiKRC well that’s one helluva way to go out. Fucking the machines over for fucking you over
i wonder what 2b would have felt, knowing 9s would go out of his way to avenge her death? doesnt matter, id say 9s is a keeper lol

Yoko Taro: So you have chosen Eternal depression.
this scene is going to awkward because my 9s shorts won't comeback
Lamont Ervin Save and reload your game, they'll respawn.
Use the dress function you can buy from Emil
Where real men cried
I was so not expecting that. I was like "huh, hasn't the sidequest ended? I have to go to the mall now? Ok, maybe Emil has something to say..." and BAMM boy I was devastated. 9S just learned how humans used to mourn people they loved with flowers and he just knew the right place to do so.
why this is optional? MUST be in the main line Before going to the tower.
According to one of the official Q&A, story wise 9S didn't do the gathering keepsake quest, because "angry 9S has no time for sidequests"..
By the time I finished with ending E just about 30 minutes ago (my shirt is soaked in salty tears) I noticed I had 6 missing quests.

@@ryebread2473 I completed route E and deleted all of my save data to rescue someone else. I never got to experience this and I regret it.
It makes it even more sweeter/Sadder when you find this on your own. I'm just glad i was able to do this before ending E
man... i missed this AND 2B's final message to 9S on my playthrough. And i thought I did mostly everything.
who would've thought machines and androids could draw out so much emotion...
Deep inside, they're human... maybe even more so than their masters.

2B in a nutshell in route A xD

Mind boggling this was an optional quest.
This has to be my favorite track from either game. The vocal tracks in Gestalt are so well done.

Requiescat in pace, 2B..
I swear to god, majority of not all the side quests hits so hard. This game story isn't that long but because of all the fun side quests, it took me forever
Kaine's theme makes this all the more emotional...
I like how someone even recreated this in VR Chat. (The map I mean)
NieR: Automata Flowers - made by Desunyan
It really is a beautiful map too
For a girl who had 300k polygons of animated ass?
Shiii id cry too
this game will forever hold a special place in my heart, i just love it so much and i’ll do anything to forget it all and play it again just to go through everything all over
Jesus there’s so much more to this game that I had zero idea about
Kainé (Salvation) is the final part that made me just break down idk about you guys...
Every time the chorus starts here I tear up.
This is such a beautiful game.
I'm here bc of the anime adaptation omg if they animate this I'll cry again
it hurts even more when you had experience with Kaine in Replicant.... 😭😭
Yeah uhh Yoko Taro? I’m gonna need you to never do that to me again.
Unfortunately it’s his specialty
there's something oddly poetic about him deciding to put it in kaine's old house, dont know how to describe it.
goosebump...
I just got to this scene. I had to pause for a couple of minutes. This game is just wow.
I didn’t realize this side quest had this... I plan to play the game 100 now after reaching the prime endings. Man the feels are harsh...
This world, the calamities, its all start with fucking pink flower...
"I'll be with you before long" bruh
still coming back to this video, my father died some months ago and this scene break me so much that it help me a bit with the tension life is giving me. Thanks for this video
Thanks for this Y_Y
Of all the songs they could have picked
And it was THIS one
The one I already had a tons of feelings from gestalt
I got wrecked, really hard
Oh god, I'm tearing up
9S side of the story after 2B dies is absolute carnage as he loses it little by little with every cleared box, but this small moment of peaceful resignation is beautiful beyond all possible description, a shame it is one you can miss entirely if you focus on the main quest too much.
Thanks for the song name
Guh, my heart... 😫
Damn, really wish I found this sooner...
i still cry
Who's here after playing the final nier raid in final fantasy 14 :(
now i realised how many things i haven't done in this game
i wanna play the game again

when route C already so feel even slice quest also so feel. oh my heart
0:45 The feels :(

Crying

Is there a way to rewatch the scene after beating the sidequest?
I saved my data 😂
I cry a lot, is this normal ? T.T

How do you trigger this scene?
so i'm checking out these little things i missed when i played the game and now i'm thinking i DON'T want to play gestalt/replicant. this is enough depression for me thanks.
Where is this part of the map? Emils place?
its the elevator that is in the abandoned shopping mall. you need to finish quests gathering keepsakes and emil memories on 3rd playtrough (route c) after some time not right at the beginning.
But that's Kaine's song...is 2B related to her somehow?
TheTrueKingOfSpace Actually, there’s already another character that is linked with Kaine that isn’t Emil.
what is the song please??
Bladimir Gómez It's called Kainè (Salvation)
thanks ! :D
Kainé, named after one of the main characters in Nier. (Emil also mentioned her).
I’m so fucking upset, I didn’t know to do this and now the file is g o n e.
This one sidequest blows 90% of the dialogue in the main questline out of the water
I completed the quest but the door won't open for me WHY!
You need to collect the lunar tear flower first, you need to do that during the first part of the game with 2b or 9s. Just talk to Emil after completing the mission at the castle and you'll start the quest.
can I do this even after I finished the game?
Yes. If you do Emil quest you can have the access to this point everytime you want. 🤗
@@WongSpy thank you :3
This part fucked me up
ISTEJSTE
ko
Damn i finish this side quest in Route A
Feeble it’s not possible to get in route A, you can’t do this side quest until 2B has died and 2B doesn’t die till route C...
You can do Emil's Memories on route A but Gathering Keepsakes is on route B if I recall correctly.
:,v
rr
Man since 2B has died 9S become such a bad char, thanks the game gave me the chance to kill him with A2.
he literally became depressed and lost it because his most cherished person died, it makes sense for him to change like this
Still don't like 9s though lol
