Dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last days :)
The reaction is solid, but the amounts of blood gushing is definitely a japanese fiction staple. Still, I love the voice actors performance. It sells the "shit, this is painful" aspect of death. :P
Pac Man Well, Androids are humans with cybernetic base (as skeleton) they do have skin, which is awkward that they bleed and feel pain. So, which mean they were some point of human, I guess.
AoKAY00 Which you are right, I was just thinking about this will all the blood. I mean, they can't have organs, or reproductive system. Or do 2b and 9s do have one?
yes 9S story is sad and all but let's take a moment to appreciate just how f*cking badass A2 is! Let's see... she survives her unit being wiped out. She survives hundreds of years flying solo. She survives being hunted by YorHa. She survives the logic virus. She takes up 2B's role. She practically spars with both 2B and 9S while they try to destroy her in a 2V1. She ends 2B's suffering. She ends 210's suffering. She ends Pascal's suffering. She ends e**l's suffering. She ends 9S's suffering. She's faster than 2B. She can't self destruct, instead she goes Berserk. Not bad for a Prototype. Not bad at all!
DJQ 15 9S was talking to the pod....I thought the same thing for weeks...untill someone told me...pods get really annoying so he told it, :" you can not speak until A2 dies or Myself...so the options that appear A2, 9S.. are basically the endings you chose
Whats interesting is when you fight as 9s in this boss fight you fight side to side with only one way to move while A2 fight is normal showing how deranged 9s is to fight only left and right
Yan Sura that's a much deeper way of looking at it than saying they made it like that because it's easier to program since there's already a a2 boss fight that's side scrolling.
And A2's perspective wasn't narrow? Honestly I don't even know what she did at the end of ending C. Seems like she killed the machines though, while in ending D the arc leaves, and 9s even goes on to join them if you choose.
Essentially that. She thought that the Tower was just a cannon aimed at the Moon to destroy what precious little remained of humanity. Her words to 9S made it clear that even in the face of the truth she still believes that androids must protect their creators no matter what form they exist in, and so she brings down the Tower unaware of its true purpose both to remain true to her ideals and to join her lost comrades in death.
Well, the tower WAS a cannon aimed at the server, it's just that the network itself didn't know for what purpose. That's why it eventually ended up fighting itself - One side wanted to destroy, the other side wanted to preserve the androids so that they'd keep having a challenge. Now from A2s point of view, it was a cannon aimed at the moon by the androids mortal enemy. If that's the case I'd also not risk the extinction of my species long-term (if the server is destroyed and they lose all hope) on the off-chance that the network decides to be a good boy
I think it doesnt matter whether u picked C or D ending first. As long as u did both of them, you can make ending E happen. For me.. True Ending is C + E.. Where A2 just continued her unfinished mission against the Red Lady. I was really surprised when they killed 2B though.. I thought she was the MC..
Nikeimizhong, in fact it still makes sence as he is just a scout and also a once too kiddish one (thanks 2E's memwipes as well). Though I personally didn't really enjoy playing one too :) (especially since he lost his girlfriend and a bunker he never liked anyway and also learned there is no mankind and what?.. A2 friggin' lost her whole team - two of 'em, in fact - and also seems to know there were no people and YoRHa is a crap since nearly the very start! Though she became pretty jumpy at times she didn't go nuts.) I actually think there is another issue about him, thing is I truly doubt anyone bothered digging him out of the machine network after routes A/B so the guy we see in C is just a new guy with a familiar face (kinda explains the Farewell stage play where they can't boot him up until recovering his data from the Ark ruins, although he was expected to be ok after ending C). Anyway, kinda a nice layout - you have some simple cute fun as 2B in route A, then some massive storytelling in route B - and once you get fed up by all those hacking minigames you are let to rip shit up :)
I know this is late but...welcome to the world of Yoko Taro, wherein the MC either: -dies in the middle/later half of the game -is actually the villain of the story -turns into a monster or a gigantic creature and is actually the final boss
I, uh...hope 2B gets the chance to explain her side of things before running into A2 again...or yeah, it's not gonna end well. 9S is just gonna frigging lose it the moment he sees her. Also, 9S has got to be the most "human" character whose story and character goes from one extreme to the other and so very well performed.
Well if Yoko is to be believed then this ending is a happy one. Meaning the three of them wake up, realize where they went wrong and, instead of perpetuating the cycle of death again, become bezzie marras forever.
9S really grew on me as I went through the game. It is truly sad to see him deteriorating. I wasn't expecting the feels train, I WASN'T EXPECTING THE FEELS TRAIN.
Movies like _The Truman Show_ and _The Matrix_ series have been discussed on philosophical basis in academia, maybe in the future the academic world would pick on some games like this one for study, alongside _Metal Gear Solid 2_ or _Deus Ex_
Surprisingly enough, spamming the hacking minigame during the A2 fight makes it feel way more satisfying. I won't completely spoil it, but let's just say it escalates.
This Game is more than just a game. I am 28 and played so many games in my life. There was Zelda Ocarina of time, Bioshock and few other games that kept in my heart. But Nier Automata...this is an another story... It kept me complete back alone, speechless and sad. Never before i´ve prayed for characters in a video game. Never before, i felt like this. I am truly overwhelmed. It takes about 20 years for a game that can take the 1.Place and move Zelda Ocarina of time to the 2. Place for me...And now i am done with it...i am scared to left Nier Automata..very strange...very deep...
The english dub was great, i mean it showed emotions like in japanese and not just plain speaking, and if you want summary of what was that here it is "they are both fine, their data and bodies can be restored, because the pods salvaged them, they are going to remember everything but not the part when they were infected, in the future game or dlc it's going to continue the story"
Ending C, A2 sacrifices her life to stop the Tower from firing at the Human server on the moon and 9S possibly survives. Ending D, the Tower (which I consider a Tower Of Babel) turns out to be an ark (and I consider this a reference to Noahs Ark) that would carry the remaining data of androids and possibly some machines throughout space until they land on another planet to repopulate. The Androids that may come out first is probably Adam and Eve (for religious purposes). Ending E, because the Pods develope their own identity, rebuild 2B, 9S and A2 and they will possibly continue on living their lives in hopefully peace. While ending E is most definitly canon, which one of the 2 endings prior to ending E is also canon? Ending C+E or Ending D+E?
Ending C is apparently the canon ending before ending E, there's no Tower anymore and 9S doesn't have his left hand in Ending E. As for A2, the concert scripts mentions nothing about her aside the fact that she might still be sleeping while 2B and 9S are awake, people think she's definitely dead but I don't think so.
Deadpoolrockz6 yeah I would have to agree as well for C + E to be the canon endings since 9S body in the end is also missing the arm, Im guessing thats where the pod took his body after A2 destroyed the Tower. Ending D pretty much just feels like a definite ending on its own, 9S 2B and everyone leave on the ark still "alive" in a sense to a new world. I guess only A2 (and possibly 9S if he chooses to stay) get screwed over in ending D.
Well considering the 5th Nier Automata Concert Script titled: Farewell I think the canon would be D+E. Since in the good ending 9S gets back his data from an unknown source, which I presume is the Tower? Well I don't know, really.
A2 is so bad ass in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius so glad I summoned her she is so freaking strong! That's where I first encountered NieR Automata then I purchased the game on PS4 soooooo freaking GOOD! I want more!!!!!!!!!!
And to think, this was all brought about by some kid and his dragon friend bringing a salty giant into the mortal world and setting everything in motion. If that wouldn't have happened, there would be no chlorination disease, no project gestalt to avoid said disease, no replicant nier to off gestalt nier (who was the medium to rejoin gestalts and replicants) and countless other gestalts, which wouldn't lead to humanities extinction, which wouldn't lead to the human terminal creating YoRHa to boost android morale for losing humans, the backdoor that corrupts everything, and the perpetual lie that would lead 2B to constantly kill 9s because he would nearly find out about said lie, which wouldn't make 9S spiral into madness if none of this ever happened.
Maybe someone said something real close, but I totally wrote this off the top of my head. Also, please inform me when kids like you grow out of their homophobia and stop using a gay as a derogatory term, unless you're referring to it's olden definition in which yes, I am happy that nier automata is successful. :'D
In this true ending, the pods managed to salvage all of 2B, 9S and A2 memories intact. If you fought through the bullet hell credit, the scene show the pods reconstructing the bodies of our 3 main characters manually in order to restore their memories. So yes, they will remember everything happened, which decision they choose afterward, however, will be by their own will. Will they continue the meaningless fighting, or stop and live their own way, is no longer in your decision, since after the credit fight, you have given them their own consciousness, their "humanity".
If 9S chose to go with the Aliens, did the Pods merely create another version from his backup data? Does the alien 9S retain his memories, or did they all leak before he left?
What's with the final shot of A2? Is she still somehow alive or something? She looked pretty dead at the end of the fight after hesitating to slay 9S and getting herself skewered.
Well.. all seemed dead but I think the Pods have the ability to repair them at the end and salvage their memories...including A2. Thats what I understood.
After the credit bullet hell, if you succeed, the after cut scene show that the pods managed to secure intact memories of 2B, 9S and A2, they then proceed to reconstruct our 3 main character's bodies by using remaining parts of other destroyed androids. This is because those pods, like the machines, have begun to develop their own consciousness, and began to have their own agendas. This true ending basically tell that the war between android and machine is meaningless by now. Humanity has extincted, machine no longer has their original purpose, detach themselves and developing their own consciousness, androids no longer have a reason to keep fighting to protect humans, so they have to move on and find their own purpose.
van lao thank you for the explanation, If you don't mind I have a couple of more questions : What is the relationship between androids and machines? There is a part in the game where 9S discover that androids where made from machine parts as well...? The other question is : Humankind is really extinct? There is human data and the human genome being protected in the moon right? So it's possible that with that data Humankind can be restored? And the last one is : Androids are replicants and they are carrying humans souls right? This is why they have feelings and act like humans? Thank you so much 😀 👍
+Juan Fernando Rojas Your questions will very likely to have long answers, some of which will even have informations related to the previous Nier game, or even another game call Drakengard due to its complexity. But I'll try to keep it short and stick to the questions. Androids and machines are both robots designed and created by human, but the machines are basic robots with limited intelligence, they are the first to be corrupted in the Network, and went frenzy killing humans. The androids were MOSTLY designed to combat all the machines on Earth. 9S did not discovered androids were made of machine part, he knew about it, in fact, all androids know they are robot themselves, they just look at machines as those who has rebelled against their human masters, and seek to destroy them to protect humans. Now, for the other question: Yes, humanity has already extincted, even before YORHA was established. It is said that humanity is extincted even before the aliens came to invade Earth, only to be wiped out by machines as well. Those datas about humans on the Moon are simply digital information about human's DNA, and other data about our society and structures. There is no physically living human to restore humanity, and since this happened like 10000 years before Nier automata, the chance to restore is practically zero. As for the last question: No, androids are not replicants, they are robots with complex AI, replicants are physical bodies without a soul, but will still do regular tasks as if they still have a human soul, while being monitored by the Overseer. The reason you see so many machines and androids have such human-like personality is because of their AI. Ever since the extinction of humanity, our informations become valuable things, and since both machines and androids were interested in it, they were also affected, and try to imitate human's feeling. Androids were the designs that resemble humans the most, they also have complex AI which allow them to express those imitation far better than machines, but the more they imitate it, the more they desire to become more "human".
Van Lao, you don't know how much I really appreciate your answers, I already saved them in a word document like gold. This has to be one of the best games I have played so far and I'm trying to understand it as much as possible, the thing is that is hard for me to imagine this story continuing with real humans out of the picture.. It's like I am human and I need hope for my especies to be reestablished.... so I guess project Gestalt was a totally failure because of Devola and Popola mistakes.. Men, this has to be the biggest tragedy of all and now where will Yoko Taro take us after all this?....... It's hard to find someone willing to take the time and dedication to answer questions.. Thanks bro :)
I GOT A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION, WILL THERE BE A SEQUEL?? i sure hope yoko makes one, cus if 2b, A2 and 9s have been revived i'd like to see what happens after that, how the world will cope with the truth about yorha, surely it deserves a sequel!!
Yes, and he chose not to care since he loves 2B and value their time more. Their memories, and everything he did with 2B, every moments with her is precious for him. Though, he can't deny that deep down he resent 2E for keep killing him and stole away his precious memories.
Watch the ending again. The pod says it all. "Life is about the struggle within this cycle." NieR has been nothing but struggle but you have to struggle to find hope.
I have chosen A2 for the fight because I couldn't sympathize with 9S Idea of Revenge like "fuck you, fuck you and fuck you too bitch!" - After I saw the ending where A2 sacraficed herself to repair 9S Logic Chip I was feeling so uncomfortable... I'm glad there is this ending. Really.
I would disagree on that. Knowing the fact that your purpose is a lie and ultimately to be disposed off when you are no longer need, the only 2 people who cares about you and reason to live is dead watching them killed by the same person, secrets and truth revealed to you that shakes your very foundation. I'm pretty sure that's not what you call whiny, but a real human reaction Unlike miss Edgelord (who mind you is the one who keeps spouting profanity and committing wanton killing for several centuries for revenge, the very thing that you actually hate), do you know what happened after ending C? A2's sacrifice actually made everything worse, by revealing the data to Jackass about project YorHa, not only did make the war worse against machines, but also against androids, unlike in ending D where the machines outgrow of their programming of "fight the enemy" they decide to create an ark wanting to find a world they live in peace The cinnamon roll on the other hand knows that he gets killed over and over again but still want for her companionship, there are even times where he killed himself in order for 2B not felt guilty for keep killing him (Memory Thorn side material).
Guys you can find out what happen of 2B and 9S at here theark.wiki/w/NieR_Music_Concert:_The_Memories_of_Puppets and click Farewell. Hope it helps for those who really want to know rest the story.
For ALL of you who are so confused as to why 9S has to suffer such a terrible KARMA here is a *SPOILER* for you. Audio dramas that take place before and as well as the epilogue for this game exist, and in those during the prequel it reveals that 9S is the Sole person that REVISED and Launched project Yorha in the first place. Needless to say he had this shit coming to him. Don't believe me? You remember when he hacked the bunker server? and he heard him speaking to himself after finding the DATA on yorha? well that was 9s Launching the backdoor program from the moon he sent there to initiate the Disposal plan. Yes. It. IS.THat. DEEP.
drew6874 I guess the little girls In red(the terminal) are the bad guys. A2 is fighting to save the "humans" even though she knows they are actually extinct and that "saving them" will continue to perpetuate a meaningless war. 9s wants to let them die which would end the cycle. both don't realize that the Terminal changes it's mind in the end.
No one. Everyone's thinks they're right, that they're fighting for something worth dying for, whether it's supposed people on the moon, the network, family, evolution, knowledge, or revenge. Taro basically took the theme from the first game of people killing for "good reasons" and cranked it even further.
Soo in the End 9s and 2b live again. Created by Pod?. Because in the last scene the Pod try to build 9s and 2b again. Please explain it to me. Sorry bad english.
Except E doesn't delete your save data. Choosing yes to help other players in the credits shmup does. Otherwise there'd be no way to get the E ending saved to your file next to the other's. Also, F was found. It's a joke ending.
isn't he an android? why is he bleeding? why is he feeling pain? in that one scene he's all torn up and it shows he has robotic parts and theres no blood...so why now?
its confirmed by Yoko taro that it's oil and some type of liquid that serves as a coolant to their bodies, its color is red to imitate human blood. it's usually mostly contained in their torso i think that's why they only bleed when they're stabbed in the chest or abdomen area. It was also mentioned in the earlier part of the game that they have pain sensors
How and why is this a true ending? It isn't happy at all! Because their mission failed, and all humans have died and gone FOR-FREAKING-EVER unless you fully restart the game
they can't do anything about the human extinction. They were already extinct even before the Aliens invaded (Thanks papa Nier :\) at least 2B, 9S, and A2 are alive
can someone please just tell me which ending is the real one?, one time they say it's this the other say it's that I'm getting really confused and I'm still unable to understand what happened here, did they survive or were they saved?, someone please help
Pod 042 and Pod 153 reconstruct their bodies there. You can see in the same last scene, that while they're flying, they're bringing part of the bodies up to the roof where 9S and 2B is.
"We are alive, after all. And being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarrassment."
I fucking love these guys.
I know right?! :D
Dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last days :)
@Maximilian Kaysen yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
Oh my god so that’s where that quote came from.
Finally, a more realistic reaction to getting stabbed than just standing there forever acting like nothing happened.
The reaction is solid, but the amounts of blood gushing is definitely a japanese fiction staple.
Still, I love the voice actors performance. It sells the "shit, this is painful" aspect of death. :P
Which then brings up the question of why androids bleed.
Pac Man Well, Androids are humans with cybernetic base (as skeleton) they do have skin, which is awkward that they bleed and feel pain.
So, which mean they were some point of human, I guess.
Androids are machines with human appearances if were going by strict definition. Cyborgs are humans who are enhanced via Machines or mechanical parts.
AoKAY00 Which you are right, I was just thinking about this will all the blood. I mean, they can't have organs, or reproductive system. Or do 2b and 9s do have one?
I was sincerely impressed with the english voice acting in this game. 9S was unbelievably well-performed.
yeah, but japanese is a better. imho
NEVOCITY

@@beepboopily6285 just enjoy the graphics and the music then lol

DarthPingu07 pascal dies ? :(
Ungureanu Bogdan not necessarily. There's another way to "save" him.
I didn't kill or erase Pascal's memories. I left him to ponder. We'll see if he can rise above being just a puppet of the network's plan.
If you leave him, he'll commit suicide
Non Non Actually from what I've read he just disapeers.
9S' voice actor is friggen amazing!
It doesn't matter. None of this matters!
That's Yuri Lowenthal to you!
it's actually Kyle McCarley
agreed, he really sold "Nines'" descent into madness towards the end.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUTTTT UPPPP lmao

God damn it
9S's death is a little hard to watch everytime. It's always slow.
atleast in the True Ending all three are alive.
Terence Williams Arguably, it's a more realistic reaction to getting stabbed.
That is true.
More like being born once more, this time having a life of their own, not being bound by duty anymore.
Agreed!
Whats interesting is when you fight as 9s in this boss fight you fight side to side with only one way to move while A2 fight is normal showing how deranged 9s is to fight only left and right
his perspective is narrower is why

9s's death was the tear jerker for me, I really liked him
Watching 9s pitifully struggle to dislocated the sword and keep falling over is... Really hard to watch and seriously heartbreaking
shame you skipped the best version of The Weight of the World that plays after you get help from other players.
Justin Doan I was ready to give up and then that happen it was amazing
I kept denying help until the game crashed. Then I accepted it the second time around & knew I was pretty much meant to accept it.

Ending C, A2 sacrifices her life to stop the Tower from firing at the Human server on the moon and 9S possibly survives.
Ending D, the Tower (which I consider a Tower Of Babel) turns out to be an ark (and I consider this a reference to Noahs Ark) that would carry the remaining data of androids and possibly some machines throughout space until they land on another planet to repopulate. The Androids that may come out first is probably Adam and Eve (for religious purposes).

What does CANON mean in the scenario?
is it a character name??
I have seen it many times but without any clues!!
"Canon" means that the story writer chose that ending for the next game or continuation of the story.

Choosing to stay, 9S just says, "So that's where you've been, 2B..." and then dies.
The pods are the true heros
as a man i can't hold my self for long time .........I cryed alot .....Such a good game forever ! 9s & 2B
His reaction to getting stab is freaking amazing
oh damn, someone have been using the hornet ring.
Bob wow the dark souls reference is real lmao
I could never stop myself from being overwhelmed by the simply amazing voice acting xD
why does 9S have to suffer so much... WHY!!!!!
I think he is the closest one to a real human from all the characters in the game, so full of different emotions...
Because no one gets a happy ending ever in Drakengard/Nier games
A2 is so bad ass in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius so glad I summoned her she is so freaking strong! That's where I first encountered NieR Automata then I purchased the game on PS4 soooooo freaking GOOD! I want more!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to give 9S a huge hug but then the end.... it's like damn son maybe later lol
And to think, this was all brought about by some kid and his dragon friend bringing a salty giant into the mortal world and setting everything in motion. If that wouldn't have happened, there would be no chlorination disease, no project gestalt to avoid said disease, no replicant nier to off gestalt nier (who was the medium to rejoin gestalts and replicants) and countless other gestalts, which wouldn't lead to humanities extinction, which wouldn't lead to the human terminal creating YoRHa to boost android morale for losing humans, the backdoor that corrupts everything, and the perpetual lie that would lead 2B to constantly kill 9s because he would nearly find out about said lie, which wouldn't make 9S spiral into madness if none of this ever happened.
Karurosuda *stfu you fake and gay latino you stole this comment*
Maybe someone said something real close, but I totally wrote this off the top of my head.
Also, please inform me when kids like you grow out of their homophobia and stop using a gay as a derogatory term, unless you're referring to it's olden definition in which yes, I am happy that nier automata is successful.
:'D
Akarurosudai swear to god if you don't marry me
Knowing Taro, I was expecting a trollish rhythm game as a final boss fight.
Thank God.
EDIT: Well, it was a more fun mini-game at the end.
Old King Oh god, I still have flashbacks of getting trolled by that last off-screen beat right at the end...
KUURROOOOOIIIIHAAANNNAAAAAA~
This is NieR. NieR final bosses are quite fair in comparison to Drakengard.
*A future is not given to you. It is something you must take for yourself.* -Pod 042
Damn, so deep and yet so true...
No game had this much of powerful emotion as in Nier automata perfect story
I freakin cant stop playing NieR. MORE THEN 40 HOURS DUDE AND STILL I REVERT BACK TO IT!
I wish A2 was the Iliad/Lover of Ash Williams (Evil dead/Army of darkness) another equivalent of another dimension of Ash
When they get restored, do they remember everything up to their death or do they revert back to what they were knew at the beginning of the game.
I will bet that they will remember everything since the beginning , but that is a good question!
In this true ending, the pods managed to salvage all of 2B, 9S and A2 memories intact. If you fought through the bullet hell credit, the scene show the pods reconstructing the bodies of our 3 main characters manually in order to restore their memories. So yes, they will remember everything happened, which decision they choose afterward, however, will be by their own will. Will they continue the meaningless fighting, or stop and live their own way, is no longer in your decision, since after the credit fight, you have given them their own consciousness, their "humanity".
If 9S chose to go with the Aliens, did the Pods merely create another version from his backup data? Does the alien 9S retain his memories, or did they all leak before he left?
I wish A2 was the Iliad/Lover of Ash Williams (Evil dead/Army of darkness) another equivalent of another dimension of Ash
i really want a ps4 .. what a great game.. yoko taro is really a genius
Issei Takeru i need the control but i think that i will buy at steam \o/
Wes Freire You can get a controller for PCs you know.
I can't find it on steam. is the name the same as Nier Automata?
Good thing im getting one in march
its definitely on steam - idk if you havent found it yet, but I bought the steam Nier:Automata which comes out in 8 days from now
Couldn't she have told him her intentions of keeping 2Bs legacy alive thus preventing this entire fight?
"Shut up, shut up shut UP, SHUT UP!' it really show his emotion
When 9S was dying I feel really sad but also feel strange too. And also make me cry. 9S is too cute(?) to die ;-;
What's with the final shot of A2? Is she still somehow alive or something? She looked pretty dead at the end of the fight after hesitating to slay 9S and getting herself skewered.
Well.. all seemed dead but I think the Pods have the ability to repair them at the end and salvage their memories...including A2. Thats what I understood.
After the credit bullet hell, if you succeed, the after cut scene show that the pods managed to secure intact memories of 2B, 9S and A2, they then proceed to reconstruct our 3 main character's bodies by using remaining parts of other destroyed androids. This is because those pods, like the machines, have begun to develop their own consciousness, and began to have their own agendas.
This true ending basically tell that the war between android and machine is meaningless by now. Humanity has extincted, machine no longer has their original purpose, detach themselves and developing their own consciousness, androids no longer have a reason to keep fighting to protect humans, so they have to move on and find their own purpose.
van lao thank you for the explanation, If you don't mind I have a couple of more questions : What is the relationship between androids and machines? There is a part in the game where 9S discover that androids where made from machine parts as well...? The other question is : Humankind is really extinct? There is human data and the human genome being protected in the moon right? So it's possible that with that data Humankind can be restored? And the last one is : Androids are replicants and they are carrying humans souls right? This is why they have feelings and act like humans? Thank you so much 😀 👍
+Juan Fernando Rojas Your questions will very likely to have long answers, some of which will even have informations related to the previous Nier game, or even another game call Drakengard due to its complexity. But I'll try to keep it short and stick to the questions.
Androids and machines are both robots designed and created by human, but the machines are basic robots with limited intelligence, they are the first to be corrupted in the Network, and went frenzy killing humans. The androids were MOSTLY designed to combat all the machines on Earth. 9S did not discovered androids were made of machine part, he knew about it, in fact, all androids know they are robot themselves, they just look at machines as those who has rebelled against their human masters, and seek to destroy them to protect humans.
Now, for the other question: Yes, humanity has already extincted, even before YORHA was established. It is said that humanity is extincted even before the aliens came to invade Earth, only to be wiped out by machines as well. Those datas about humans on the Moon are simply digital information about human's DNA, and other data about our society and structures. There is no physically living human to restore humanity, and since this happened like 10000 years before Nier automata, the chance to restore is practically zero.
As for the last question: No, androids are not replicants, they are robots with complex AI, replicants are physical bodies without a soul, but will still do regular tasks as if they still have a human soul, while being monitored by the Overseer. The reason you see so many machines and androids have such human-like personality is because of their AI. Ever since the extinction of humanity, our informations become valuable things, and since both machines and androids were interested in it, they were also affected, and try to imitate human's feeling. Androids were the designs that resemble humans the most, they also have complex AI which allow them to express those imitation far better than machines, but the more they imitate it, the more they desire to become more "human".
Van Lao, you don't know how much I really appreciate your answers, I already saved them in a word document like gold. This has to be one of the best games I have played so far and I'm trying to understand it as much as possible, the thing is that is hard for me to imagine this story continuing with real humans out of the picture.. It's like I am human and I need hope for my especies to be reestablished.... so I guess project Gestalt was a totally failure because of Devola and Popola mistakes.. Men, this has to be the biggest tragedy of all and now where will Yoko Taro take us after all this?....... It's hard to find someone willing to take the time and dedication to answer questions.. Thanks bro :)
Ending D is like saddest Ending.
Atleast Ending C is a bit happier because A2 is sacrificing herself to save 9S
Adam and Eve for the next Nier protagonists.
Wait, are the 5 doves at the end a reference to drakengard III?
I'm not surprised if it were,,,I mean, we got Eve's tattoo, and the Intoner's have reference as well (Pod ONE,FIVE, THREE and Pod ZERO, FOUR, TWO)
Holy shit, the credits turned into space invaders
I GOT A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION, WILL THERE BE A SEQUEL?? i sure hope yoko makes one, cus if 2b, A2 and 9s have been revived i'd like to see what happens after that, how the world will cope with the truth about yorha, surely it deserves a sequel!!
WAIT HOLD ON A SEC. So Nine S already knew that 2B's real mission was to keep an eye on him and kill him when the time came in start of the game.
Yes, and he chose not to care since he loves 2B and value their time more. Their memories, and everything he did with 2B, every moments with her is precious for him. Though, he can't deny that deep down he resent 2E for keep killing him and stole away his precious memories.
The anime is going to be insane 😮💨😭😆
What's the theme that plays when A2 destroys The Tower?
Lunacy Mourning
And this is why we can't rule out that Sentient life, even if it's created, have emotions and souls.
This cant be the true end, it's far too nice for a Yoko Taro game.
He said that he wanted to end the Nier saga with a glimpse of hope a couple of years ago.
Want old yoko taro style of ending? Go for Ending Y :)
Watch the ending again. The pod says it all. "Life is about the struggle within this cycle." NieR has been nothing but struggle but you have to struggle to find hope.
I have chosen A2 for the fight because I couldn't sympathize with 9S Idea of Revenge like "fuck you, fuck you and fuck you too bitch!" - After I saw the ending where A2 sacraficed herself to repair 9S Logic Chip I was feeling so uncomfortable... I'm glad there is this ending. Really.
I would disagree on that. Knowing the fact that your purpose is a lie and ultimately to be disposed off when you are no longer need, the only 2 people who cares about you and reason to live is dead watching them killed by the same person, secrets and truth revealed to you that shakes your very foundation. I'm pretty sure that's not what you call whiny, but a real human reaction
Unlike miss Edgelord (who mind you is the one who keeps spouting profanity and committing wanton killing for several centuries for revenge, the very thing that you actually hate), do you know what happened after ending C? A2's sacrifice actually made everything worse, by revealing the data to Jackass about project YorHa, not only did make the war worse against machines, but also against androids, unlike in ending D where the machines outgrow of their programming of "fight the enemy" they decide to create an ark wanting to find a world they live in peace
The cinnamon roll on the other hand knows that he gets killed over and over again but still want for her companionship, there are even times where he killed himself in order for 2B not felt guilty for keep killing him (Memory Thorn side material).
Guys you can find out what happen of 2B and 9S at here theark.wiki/w/NieR_Music_Concert:_The_Memories_of_Puppets and click Farewell. Hope it helps for those who really want to know rest the story.
Took two years but I will say thank you for commenting this
For ALL of you who are so confused as to why 9S has to suffer such a terrible KARMA here is a *SPOILER* for you. Audio dramas that take place before and as well as the epilogue for this game exist, and in those during the prequel it reveals that 9S is the Sole person that REVISED and Launched project Yorha in the first place. Needless to say he had this shit coming to him. Don't believe me? You remember when he hacked the bunker server? and he heard him speaking to himself after finding the DATA on yorha? well that was 9s Launching the backdoor program from the moon he sent there to initiate the Disposal plan. Yes. It. IS.THat. DEEP.
I myself haven't had a chance to play this game, but GOD DAMNIT I WANT TO CRY!
I feel that without the Androids and Machines, the Pods will replace humanity
@Boss Fight Database Who's the true villain in Nier: Automata?
drew6874 I guess the little girls In red(the terminal) are the bad guys. A2 is fighting to save the "humans" even though she knows they are actually extinct and that "saving them" will continue to perpetuate a meaningless war.
9s wants to let them die which would end the cycle.
both don't realize that the Terminal changes it's mind in the end.
drew6874 The ayyliens of course
did the little girls in red have anything to do with the watchers? due to their red eyes and dual speak.
lunerblade13 I don't remember it ever being talked about in the game. I don't think the watchers are directly mentioned.
No one. Everyone's thinks they're right, that they're fighting for something worth dying for, whether it's supposed people on the moon, the network, family, evolution, knowledge, or revenge. Taro basically took the theme from the first game of people killing for "good reasons" and cranked it even further.
Do someone know what happens when you choose "no" for the first pod's question?
I feel uncomfortable about (Iphone) 9S Death
Finally a Good ending. Need more sequel !!
0:07 Bruh literally the fucking saddest moment I've ever played in a game to date
Anybody know the title of the music being played where A2 is making her way to 9S?
So how come A2's hair is long again at the end?
Did 9S know about 2B's true identity this whole time, even at the beginning of the game?
nube1oscuras quite the opposite. he assumed a2 and 2b knew nothing, when infact they knew that humanity was dead from the start
He figured it out sometime later. yet he chose to ignore, because he treasure their time more.
Soo in the End 9s and 2b live again. Created by Pod?. Because in the last scene the Pod try to build 9s and 2b again. Please explain it to me. Sorry bad english.
Nice small homage to GITS there at the end.
Why the hell was A2 fighting to save a mountain of data
There were no more humans to fight for, there was no purpose for Project Yorha in the end
it's called memories and they are that precious
So o o. . . what's left in this ending? Is it just them? Did other androids survive? Are machines still rampaging elsewhere?
music sounds like a remix from FF7 advent children
What happened to all the robots?
i did not expect the feels
I hope there's a sequel ...
more like a trilogy, NieR: Automata is already a sequel
You cannot claim this is the true ending.
All the endings weren't found yet, ending F might be the true one.
Well so far ending f is not revealed.
the ending that deletes your save data is always the true ending.
As such, is the rule of Nier, that which was made, must be deleted in order for the truth to come to fruition
People said there are endings F to Z by getting rekt by a certain way, but not that important comparing to the main endings.
Except E doesn't delete your save data. Choosing yes to help other players in the credits shmup does. Otherwise there'd be no way to get the E ending saved to your file next to the other's.
Also, F was found. It's a joke ending.
Can you tell me more about the true ending ,Do they will losse all memorie or .... ?
Xuân Bách the pods reclaimed all their memories, adn rebuild them
They're androids but they're bleedings wtf, is that oil? It makes me so sad watching 9s suffering, I love him :(
it was said to be an oil and a liquid that was made to look red (so it can imitate the appearance of blood)
well I couldn't stand 9s so I didn't hesitate to choose A2.
I hope they release an official soundtrack
I laughed so fucking hard when they all die.😂😂😂
So A2's ending isnt the true one... Thats upsetting.
2:29 am I the only one who found that squirming kinda funny he keeps slipping lmao
which is now the next game?
Unless Yoko Taro announces a sequel or another game, there's no sequel.
isn't he an android? why is he bleeding? why is he feeling pain? in that one scene he's all torn up and it shows he has robotic parts and theres no blood...so why now?
its confirmed by Yoko taro that it's oil and some type of liquid that serves as a coolant to their bodies, its color is red to imitate human blood. it's usually mostly contained in their torso i think that's why they only bleed when they're stabbed in the chest or abdomen area. It was also mentioned in the earlier part of the game that they have pain sensors
No you're crying not me
How and why is this a true ending? It isn't happy at all! Because their mission failed, and all humans have died and gone FOR-FREAKING-EVER unless you fully restart the game
they can't do anything about the human extinction. They were already extinct even before the Aliens invaded (Thanks papa Nier :\) at least 2B, 9S, and A2 are alive
So do u guys think or know if we will get another nier game after this ? Or will we get a spinoff game or is this the end
AverageGamerr you can never really tell with Yoko Taro.
2B , I love you....
can someone please just tell me which ending is the real one?, one time they say it's this the other say it's that I'm getting really confused and I'm still unable to understand what happened here, did they survive or were they saved?, someone please help
ending E, and there's a scene after that ending. Search for NieR: Automata concert script on youtube
no matter what ending you do THEY FUCKİNG DİE OH COME ON wait except for the ending where 9s becomes a machine
Octoling Sniper yeah and they will resurrect again, always.
please tell me, are they still alive?
So A2 is still alive?
Watching 9S writhing in pain is honestly heartbreaking
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW DID 9S AND 2B DIED ON THE SAME ROOF AT THE LAST SCENE ??????
Pod 042 and Pod 153 reconstruct their bodies there. You can see in the same last scene, that while they're flying, they're bringing part of the bodies up to the roof where 9S and 2B is.
Song at the end?
Now that was fucking painful
