"Without going into spoilers," *spoils everything about the game's final ending* Who is this video aimed at?? Those who never played it or those who have already done everything? Half the video is explaining the simplest mechanics of the game and the other half is spoiling everything about the story :/
Shikni Ful, you don't know that. The only reason I even touched this game was because I saw a friend of mine playing it all the time. Typically, I don't really care if a game is spoiled for me, but this game is completely ruined if spoiled. It's not even just about the story of the game itself. It's how the game ends up telling you the story as well.
Yoko Taro actually wears the mask, because he doesn't want to destroy people's ideas or expectations about the game creator. You know the saying "never meet your heroes"? It's something on that note. And it fits his philosophy well. He doesn't only want to surprise you, but also thinks, that the impression and feelings you get while playing a game is something magical and more important than the game itself. The game is just a tool for creators to spawn that idea in your head. By wearing the mas, he protects that idea even further.
These are very interesting points that are a key to game design, I don't want to know what is his face ! And please Yoko Taro keep making games, don't do another job ;-;
@@Ndasuunye most people would be very said disappointed if they were to find out that their favorite erotic novel is written by a middle-aged man. Sure there are exceptions to this but a lot of stories are better experienced when you don't have any idea what sort of person the author looks like. It also lets the author feel more confident in writing whatever he wants
@@Ndasuunye bro? Have you heard about Mark Kozelek? The man is a masterclass in songwriting but recently he was charged for sexual harassment and people started to hate him AND his music. Separate art from the artist. It's never stupid. If anything is, it's you
@@BCrane-ej4iq That's the entire point of the game. Not even 2B and 9S have actual genders. They could "identify" and have genitals but they are not living organisms who can actually reproduce. They are instead fixated on the idea of how complex we humans are which drives them nuts.
I read somewhere in the game, though I can’t remember where, that Pascal is male, but uses a female voice as it soothes the child machines more than a male voice would
9S was my favorite to play as, but damn, those other endings. I lost sleep, and screwed up my sleep cycle because of this game. It was entirely worth it and I can't wait for more.
A lot of people disliked 9S's play style due to his lack of a secondary weapon, but with both the dodge counter and the normal counter, I enjoy him just as much as 2B and A2, and often even more so due to his different general attacks. Not to mention, he is the easiest character to grind to level 99 by using his hacks on the bunny statue in the amusement park.
I absolutely loved the 9S gameplay. His increased agility and longer range meshed better with my unconventional approach to action games. Not only that, but I am a huge fan of the Twinsticks! :D I keep wondering why the genre hasn't made a comeback now that literal twin sticks are standard on practically every game controller. For that matter, I'm amazed no one's at least attempted once or twice to make a PC game in the genre that has the option of using twin-mouse controls.
It's...a fact video....where, in the series of fact videos, they try to go over ALL THE FACTS. Which will likely cover parts of the game you've not seen. It's like seeing a long movie review, when you haven't watched the movie yet-- and being pissed it ruined the movie for you.... - _ -
Just to clarify this is in no way a triple A game it's a double A the funding for this game was bare minimum same with promotional material the truth of the matter is they are just smart and know how to use resources they have access too this is what the future of gaming should be not huge blockbuster games that are more like movies then games itself and cost way more then they'll actually make back automata is the little glimpse of light this industry needs
17:35 actually, those locked doors are for DLC. They grant access to Underground battle arenas were you can fight waves of machines as well as a secret boss fight between the CEOs of Square Enix and Platinum Games. It also nets you costumes of RepliCant NieR and Kaine.
@@Astartes00 Yes. Dont worry :) Keep an eye on the different biomes. They are hidden but there. Google if necessary. The arena's themselves are all rather unique but I wont spoil whu :)
I know it might be late for you if you're reading this, but in case you are reading this before watching the video, and you haven't played the game: DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO BEFORE DOING SO!! This spoils key things of the story and themes mid-way without warning, even when he says that he doesn't want to go deep into spoilers (quite ironically he goes quite deep). It is much more worth it to experience it yourself first.
"Not trying to go into spoilers" as they show 9S on the ground which looks like dead (I don't have the game so idk if this happens but that pissed me off)
ahh, it's great that creative lunatics like Yoko Taro can still be given the budget to make games like these, even if NieR (the first one) didn't sell very well, shows that we don't have to live in a bland Ubisoft or EA dominated world after all.
I don't really understand why you don't want to mention things because of spoilers but then spoil the true ending of the entire game in the middle of the video. Really great otherwise though, awesome work!
The game pulled the heartstrings so much I get emotional just seeing the characters. Such an amazing game, the combat is fluent, the story incredible, the world stunning, and the music is beautiful. 2B is by far my favorite character, not for the memes, but for the struggle she endures constantly until... well... No spoilers. It shows a narrative strength that supersedes A2, despite the older model android's superior combative skill. Also, a note about those doors that cannot be used, with the machines apologizing, that is for the DLC. Each of those is an arena to fight in.
In a Psych class of mine, I learned about Gestalt psychology theory, which in summary says that something as a whole is more than its parts. Perhaps the game references this in the androids?🤔
Gestalt is not the West version of the game, it's the 360 version of the game in Japan. But it is the only one that was brought to the western market for both 360 and Ps3 :)
I was so happy to hear that NieR Automata got #14 on the top 20 list of best games of the decade. Honestly the list was unfair in my opinion, but it was a legit list so I'm content even though it deserved to be in the top 5!
Neat thing: Keep the game connected to the internet while you explore Emil's cave. You'll know it when you see it and you may even become terrified of what lies ahead.
@@celestia277 You'll see. If you have no idea how to get in, explore the "walls" around the gigantic hole in the ground. Particularly around the Waterfalls.
I've been down there and stole the mask and I have no idea what you are talking about. I saw nothing special when I was down there. Quit being coy and give the deets dude.
@@NoCommonGround_1 Nier Automata has a neat feature where it displays Android Corpses where other players have died as long as you're connected to the internet. Emil's cave has a lot of them in a specific area.
Favorite character to play as? I guess 2B. I don't enjoy the hacking mechanic, despite being relatively good at it, and the only differences I see with A2 is that she can use berserk mode, can dodge/dash differently, and can have funny, snarky conversations with the pod she inherited. "Miss any secrets?" Well, that just makes me feel like Mr. Longbottom, 'cause I wouldn't know if I missed secrets unbeknownst to me. Hahaha! Minor spoiler: I have fought- Erm... _Bullied_ Emil, though. I looked forward to that secret boss fight only to find out I'd be bullying him in the end. I didn't feel good for doing it. From then on, I just treat him well as his loyal customer. I always look forward to hearing his song about how much I can save. Haha!
Nice but 9S is way stronger then you make out him to be, his atack range is 2 to3 times bigger then 2Bs he can spam Pod lv1 Atacks because they don't have global cooldowns on them unlike 2Bs, he can do this by switching to different Pod, can use one weapon but has 2 move sets per weapon type, his hacking skill can blow up enemy in an AOE that can stun or do DoT fire in 10m range. In many ways he's way stronger in combat then 2B.
No, but they are top of the line, newest models. And someone wrote that in the novel that came out in Japan, it said he hack him self, at one time to upgrade his fighting potential, so he's not factory made model so to speak.
38th fact: Except the true protagonist is 9S, not 2B. The overall story only reveal itself when you control 9S as he is the one who can understand machine's language.
Nier Automata’s soundtrack is my all time favorite soundtrack though. Each song is so perfect for each moment that it sends chills up my spine. I really applaud Yoko Taro and his team. I have a special place in my heart for this game.
There was one small thing you guys may have missed but it depends if you really wanted to add it or not, but there's a music video for Nier: Automata that used actual footage from the start of the game and is also used in the game as well. Hope you know where that video is it exists.
Yes but if you're letting that trait be the only thing that defines him in your eyes, you're missing the point of Emil, and Kaine by extension, as they were intended to be received.
Daniel Díaz Chico think it was said by the developers not directly from taro Its a controversial theme to disturb people There is no hint in the original games tho
His point by including the aforementioned characters was that they're still people, who have lives and motivations and desires. They're not just "The token gay kid" or "The Token hermaphrodite". These traits are to enrich their characters, but not define them. So if the only reason one likes Emil is because he's gay, or because that's the only thing that you remember about him, then you've missed the point of the character.
cool but, put a massive spoiler alert, good thing I finished the game with the perfect ending before watching this video or you would have ruined completely the surprise of the ending.
I just bought this game and I'm really enjoying it. I never understand people's feelings about spoilers...you can tell me the entire story, explain the visuals, how you interact, etc., etc., but it in no way changes the actual experience. The emotions and memories that the game/movie/book/whatever creates within you is the real experience. The elements that you can discuss, labeled as "spoilers" may help achieve that experience, but they are not the experience. You can tell me about going to another country or climbing a mountain, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to experience it myself. If "spoilers" were real, no one would ever leave their homes or do anything, they could just have others tell them about it. The importance of some feelings/experiences, the ability to see through the b.s. of the world to the truth, and the ability to make your own meaning when you realize that no one is going to hand it to you seem like they're even themes of the game in question. Anyhow, still enjoying the game and already seeing myself playing it again in the future like other games that I've cherished.
These are just facts about the games story! The only good facts in the videos are the ones about Yoko Taro and development! What's next you're going to have name of characters count as a fact!?
I enjoy playing as 9S and A2. A2's berserk mode is god tier with the right chip sets and 9S because he's an adorable soft boy. The game broke my heart but impressed me in a way I never thought a game could.
#108: "In 2018 2B was announced as a guest character in the fighting game series SoulCalibur, notably the recent resurgence SoulCalibur VI, who was released in December. Her moveset is faithful to Neir: Automata with fast and crazy combos, unlike most of the characters within SoulCalibur VI."
In fact it's 110 Facts in total and not 107, you missed 3 Facts: 108 - The Big Ladder it's a reference to the Big Ladder of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 109 - Background of 9S's Hacking mode it's reference background Missions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance 110 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Base gameplay helped to create NieR: Automata gameplay, if you look closely Both gameplays are almost identical, also Both games were made by Platinum Games 😎👍
thus video taught me so much about neir. I think I may get it because I'm really impressed by how hard the studio worked on it. it's probably worth buying just as art if nothing else.
jblue88 hood gamer but it's a surface level thing :/ everyone I hear who talks about Nier keep talking about the surface level things, when in the end, that's all they are, surface level things... they mean nothing in the end, even in a game as outwardly weird as Nier Automata
107 facts about NieR Automata, spends more time talking about drakenguard and niers story in multiple segments. heres a few facts. - some chips add to the combat system such as overclock ( perfect evade to slow down time) and taunts ( increases you and the enemy's attacks) - All bosses are based on philosophers in some regards. - they changed a name of a item due to potential law suit from Nintendo the item being M64 (which i believe is broken battery i could be wrong) - Desert Oasis and City's underground lake are they only fishing spots that have pure fish no machines - you can find project Gestalt reports that are hidden that talk about drakenguard ending E - Niers story - A2 is regarded to possible share the Memories of Kiane . this is backed up when Emil says she feels really familiar - some sound tracks can be heard only through quest such as color of depression and mourning ( you can also buy music for the jukebox) - 13/40 weapons are returning ones including ancient overlord ( kingsblood), faith, phoenix weapons, beast weapons and Dragoon lance - Accord the android in drakenguard 3 is referenced by the weapon smith in the resistance camp and again in a weapon shop flyer - you can fully remap your controls for your fighting style except hacking and flight unit sections. - when you set your vibration settings with 9S and keep saying no it's implied he touched 2B somewhere naughty for a final which vibrates your control intensely - P-33 or as others call him beppe is what machine refer to as there god. ( was a story about it in a comic)
Got me to get back on Nier:A. I lost some interest before beginning 9S' playthrough, but after watching this, I have a rather tumultuous feeling to see his side of the story. Thanks.
Fun fact the doll's that are being destroyed on commercial, are BJD and it is quite commonly believed if you care about one, it will get a soul and only way to destroy doll's soul is by destroying it head and eyes.
in the flying bits you can use the sword attack to bust the dark purple orbs, I'm sure you can destroy them with a weapon during the mele combat on the ground as well.. if not light attacks then heavy definitely do. (I always use a spear in heavy slot and it decimates those bullet hell mobs)
yoko taro is the only psychopath i know who produces video games. drakengard was like a scandal in the gaming industry cause it was so unique and was the only one of its kind(it was rated m but damn the content is maximum controverse even for adults). yoko taro is the best that couldve ever happened to me. nier and drakengard franchise are salves for my rotten soul.
Just nearing the end of the first/main story ending and I'm wondering with the other endings if you have to start again doing the same missions just as another character or if they give you only new ones (not repeating)? Thanks!!!
That Teaser with the Destroyed Dolls is the Actual DLC Ending which rewards you with a nice illuminati symbol behind Z in your save data as additional Ending. the song that plays during the doll destruction is actually ... really heartbreaking so get some tissues :/ Besides the doors that nobody knows what they're for. now you should know xD They're part of the latest DLC
"If you attack the bunny robot for long enough" yeah or hack it once. At level 30 I noticed I could hack it and did so, hoping that it would allow me to take it over since it wasn't aware of me. Then a goddamned level 80 monster with one hit kill ranged attacks showed up out of nowhere. It would have been okay if the only way to damage it hadn't been to stay in one place while I hacked it.
thank you from Russia. you are the first blogger who could explain my feelings and Express my opinion about this game. there is no such excellent review of this game in the Russian-language yoytube.
I absolutely love this game. And I’m going for all 26 endings. And with my character being a lvl 76, I’m untouchable. And I also must say, the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful.

JPonyLoco honestly though please ???
Nier Automata’s soundtrack is my all time favorite soundtrack though. Each song is so perfect for each moment that it sends chills up my spine. I really applaud Yoko Taro and his team. I have a special place in my heart for this game.
I always suspected that the rabbit statue would cone to life when i noticed that it was marked by a black dot on the map just like any other enemy
There was one small thing you guys may have missed but it depends if you really wanted to add it or not, but there's a music video for Nier: Automata that used actual footage from the start of the game and is also used in the game as well. Hope you know where that video is it exists.
Oh Yoko Taro... You keep being you dude. You keep being you.
The leaderboard: for the glory of humanity

" Passive abilities like higher melee damage"
"Passive abilities"
*dat self-destruct* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That "CAR with a scary face" is my son EMIL! He is precious and gay af!
Yes but if you're letting that trait be the only thing that defines him in your eyes, you're missing the point of Emil, and Kaine by extension, as they were intended to be received.
Daniel Díaz Chico if u actually played nier gestalt u would know that emil said he would marry a GIRL if she wouldn't mind his appearance
Daniel Díaz Chico think it was said by the developers not directly from taro
Its a controversial theme to disturb people
There is no hint in the original games tho
His point by including the aforementioned characters was that they're still people, who have lives and motivations and desires. They're not just "The token gay kid" or "The Token hermaphrodite". These traits are to enrich their characters, but not define them.
So if the only reason one likes Emil is because he's gay, or because that's the only thing that you remember about him, then you've missed the point of the character.
For me it felt like a marketing strategy
hope we get a nier automata 2
CariagaXIII this was a Nier 2. What I hope we get is a Nier 3 or Drakengard 4.
I keep expect Nier to loop around and be responsible for Drakengard somehow, as it would fit the themes of both series.
nier 3 on VR? or first person?....
umm no...
CariagaXIII "Nier Automata 2"
You need to educate yourself. This wasn't the first game of the series
- GreeN - You need to read more carefully. Doesn't matter if this was the first game in the series. Cariaga wants a sequel to THIS game
cool but, put a massive spoiler alert, good thing I finished the game with the perfect ending before watching this video or you would have ruined completely the surprise of the ending.
Some interesting stuff, but next time, reduce the spoilers men :) or at least, warm the people watching you're about to drop it
I just bought this game and I'm really enjoying it.
I never understand people's feelings about spoilers...you can tell me the entire story, explain the visuals, how you interact, etc., etc., but it in no way changes the actual experience. The emotions and memories that the game/movie/book/whatever creates within you is the real experience. The elements that you can discuss, labeled as "spoilers" may help achieve that experience, but they are not the experience. You can tell me about going to another country or climbing a mountain, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to experience it myself. If "spoilers" were real, no one would ever leave their homes or do anything, they could just have others tell them about it. The importance of some feelings/experiences, the ability to see through the b.s. of the world to the truth, and the ability to make your own meaning when you realize that no one is going to hand it to you seem like they're even themes of the game in question.
Anyhow, still enjoying the game and already seeing myself playing it again in the future like other games that I've cherished.
The thing is if someone tells you about adeath you wont be as shocked when it happens therefor not have the same experience
These are just facts about the games story! The only good facts in the videos are the ones about Yoko Taro and development! What's next you're going to have name of characters count as a fact!?
i will reinstall it again and play it again ^^ its the best game ever in my opinion
Agreed, man.
have you played Skyrim,because I disagree
The heart breaking plotline .
I. Have. ᶠˡᵃˢʰᵇᵃᶜᵏˢ.
when you're 30 facts into the video and haven't said anything about the game yet
"For the Glory of Humanity"
*Excuse me, what the fuck*
I enjoy playing as 9S and A2. A2's berserk mode is god tier with the right chip sets and 9S because he's an adorable soft boy. The game broke my heart but impressed me in a way I never thought a game could.
19:07
Yep, thanks to the Red Girl(s).
DON’T PUT SPOILERS TO THE BEST GAME STORY EVER IN A VIDEO WITH BEGINNERS TIPS!!!!!
Fact 108: 2B hot as Hell
The Only Nier Automata Fact I know is 2B Loves 9S, 9S Loves 2B
SPOILERS!!!!
Like not just "Not going into spoiler territory" FULL SPOILERS!!!!!
Put a spoiler warning up at least. Spoiling ending E like that.
I love how he shows Angel's Folly when he pointed out they're bummers. Cause that is one of the particularly brutal ones.
#108: "In 2018 2B was announced as a guest character in the fighting game series SoulCalibur, notably the recent resurgence SoulCalibur VI, who was released in December. Her moveset is faithful to Neir: Automata with fast and crazy combos, unlike most of the characters within SoulCalibur VI."
11:01 what are those dashes? never figured out how to do them
Yeah for reals, that looks dope af
For posterity: Full upgraded Engine Blade.
"Seeing 4-5 bodies ahead in a room is a good sign that it's a dangerous one"
*Looks outside of Emil's house*
107 facts of gravity rush please.
"die during the intro"
As if I purposefully had to try 😂
I think you missed the fact of the dessert machine's masks came from the original Nier :D
Nier automata is a quick dive into existentialism and a bit of nihilism.
In fact it's 110 Facts in total and not 107, you missed 3 Facts:
108 - The Big Ladder it's a reference to the Big Ladder of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
109 - Background of 9S's Hacking mode it's reference background Missions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
110 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Base gameplay helped to create NieR: Automata gameplay, if you look closely Both gameplays are almost identical, also Both games were made by Platinum Games
😎👍
You should have said how it connects with the Drakengard series!
a2 = tsundere
what's 2B then? Lol
Kurumi Tokisaki She’s a yandere in some degree because she has to kill 9S if he gets out of hand.
2b is my favorite character of nier automata.
thus video taught me so much about neir. I think I may get it because I'm really impressed by how hard the studio worked on it. it's probably worth buying just as art if nothing else.
107 facts about Danganronpa
107 facts about persona4 or persona5
Modestas Murauskas I think you'll be happy next month!
OMG 107 FACTS ABOUT THE PERSONA SERIES!? I definitely wanna see that :D
you guys forgot to mention the part about looking under her dress and it being an achievement.
+JPonyLoco early may buddy...early May we got you
jblue88 hood gamer but it's a surface level thing :/ everyone I hear who talks about Nier keep talking about the surface level things, when in the end, that's all they are, surface level things... they mean nothing in the end, even in a game as outwardly weird as Nier Automata
Your breakdown is great! Really enjoy listening to all the little details and game mechanics that you talk about.
Yoko Taro is Ishida and Togashi! Yoko finally that dang autocorrect!
Thank for the unnecesary spoilers...
Keiichi Okabe is a goddamn genius XD
107 facts about NieR Automata, spends more time talking about drakenguard and niers story in multiple segments. heres a few facts.
- some chips add to the combat system such as overclock ( perfect evade to slow down time) and taunts ( increases you and the enemy's attacks)
- All bosses are based on philosophers in some regards.
- they changed a name of a item due to potential law suit from Nintendo the item being M64 (which i believe is broken battery i could be wrong)
- Desert Oasis and City's underground lake are they only fishing spots that have pure fish no machines
- you can find project Gestalt reports that are hidden that talk about drakenguard ending E - Niers story
- A2 is regarded to possible share the Memories of Kiane . this is backed up when Emil says she feels really familiar
- some sound tracks can be heard only through quest such as color of depression and mourning ( you can also buy music for the jukebox)
- 13/40 weapons are returning ones including ancient overlord ( kingsblood), faith, phoenix weapons, beast weapons and Dragoon lance
- Accord the android in drakenguard 3 is referenced by the weapon smith in the resistance camp and again in a weapon shop flyer
- you can fully remap your controls for your fighting style except hacking and flight unit sections.
- when you set your vibration settings with 9S and keep saying no it's implied he touched 2B somewhere naughty for a final which vibrates your control intensely
- P-33 or as others call him beppe is what machine refer to as there god. ( was a story about it in a comic)
You missed the Ironpipe weapon a reference to Nier Gestalt and its weapon lore tells a nostalgic story of protecting Yonah
Got me to get back on Nier:A. I lost some interest before beginning 9S' playthrough, but after watching this, I have a rather tumultuous feeling to see his side of the story. Thanks.
Be aware of SPOILERS ppl
Fun fact the doll's that are being destroyed on commercial, are BJD and it is quite commonly believed if you care about one, it will get a soul and only way to destroy doll's soul is by destroying it head and eyes.
BJD?
ball jointed doll. made from resin
Sorry i don't share hobby with you, but i'm sure all Nier Automata fans would love copy about 2B
Drakengard needs a little more attention. It's like Nier, but with dragons! also D3 is very strange and oddly funny.
in the flying bits you can use the sword attack to bust the dark purple orbs, I'm sure you can destroy them with a weapon during the mele combat on the ground as well.. if not light attacks then heavy definitely do. (I always use a spear in heavy slot and it decimates those bullet hell mobs)
Whats the soundtrack in the background at 7:00 and further? Is it soundtrack from the game?
yoko taro is the only psychopath i know who produces video games. drakengard was like a scandal in the gaming industry cause it was so unique and was the only one of its kind(it was rated m but damn the content is maximum controverse even for adults). yoko taro is the best that couldve ever happened to me. nier and drakengard franchise are salves for my rotten soul.
ehm 72 is just the DLC ending, no censoring there
Just nearing the end of the first/main story ending and I'm wondering with the other endings if you have to start again doing the same missions just as another character or if they give you only new ones (not repeating)? Thanks!!!
That Teaser with the Destroyed Dolls is the Actual DLC Ending which rewards you with a nice illuminati symbol behind Z in your save data as additional Ending. the song that plays during the doll destruction is actually ... really heartbreaking so get some tissues :/ Besides the doors that nobody knows what they're for. now you should know xD They're part of the latest DLC
final ending spolier ar 14:32 thank god i paused the video
"If you attack the bunny robot for long enough" yeah or hack it once. At level 30 I noticed I could hack it and did so, hoping that it would allow me to take it over since it wasn't aware of me. Then a goddamned level 80 monster with one hit kill ranged attacks showed up out of nowhere. It would have been okay if the only way to damage it hadn't been to stay in one place while I hacked it.
1:10 I took a photo almost exactly like that one last year, I miss Osaka
thank you from Russia. you are the first blogger who could explain my feelings and Express my opinion about this game. there is no such excellent review of this game in the Russian-language yoytube.
9S sucks and the best character A2 got the least screentime.
Darcy Callaghan A2 is best bae
Darcy Callaghan 9s is precious and has suffered enough...
evryone in nier automata suffered a lot. Its really hard to tell who suffered the most
Highly disagree with you
I absolutely love this game. And I’m going for all 26 endings. And with my character being a lvl 76, I’m untouchable. And I also must say, the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful.
Why Female Androids use high heels?... Because i really like women :p
^Yoko Taro in one of his interviews, probably
Complete masterpiece that has influenced so many titles after.
So... 107 facts about The Last Of Us or nah?
12:25 those arent endings, they are presented as endings but there are more like chapter endings having the game 5 chapters and one definitive ending, the E
