As to the former, I think that's just something they put in because it would be funny and own, and I kinda don't blame them since it was funny and owned. As to the latter (humongo spoilers), Emil and the red girls are the two closest things to humans left in the setting and the androids end up killing off both of them, so yeah great work guys, glory to mankind

I found the secret shop  Also hacking is wonderful, it does so much damage. Definitely did a bunch of things earlier than I could have done without it. Mainly things involving big chufty robots. Oh, and Route B seems to have amped up the quirky robots, although I guess a few of those are probably still available on A but I just missed them.

In fairness, the Emil in the car is not the original Emil, nor are the giant Emils the only ones left on the planet so while all of them do die, Emil isn't extinct after that. The Emil's Fists story weapon is set ~500 years after Automata ending E, and describes new Emils still being made, dying, the machine network coming back and 2B's continued survival. So really, even if you want to call Emil human, it's not like we finish off the rest of the biological humans.

Any word on Steam Preload? If I buy this game right now on PC, will i be able to play Midnight between Thursday & Friday or do Steam games unlock at arbitrary times?

honestly doing the 100% run is easy to do if you are at the end of the game. a few shops open that sell all the really common upgrade materials you'll need. all i need is the last weapons and then ending Y is there a specific chapter where emil sets up shop outside the resistance camp, or do i just have to keep to reloading the area? i have never had him spawn in that spot and i need the weapons he sells as the only ones i'm missing.

Makes his death more poignant at least.

I'm done route C and looking for a resource that can help me obtain the remaining endings preferably with as few spoilers as possible, just a nudge in the right direction. I can see that I'm missing quests through chapter select but is there a way to figure out what they are? Do solid red quest icons on the mini-map signifying they've been completed?

Red icons on the map signify it's an available quest or new teleporter but you probably have them all considering you did route C so just quests.

Forest stuff. Any reason A2 kills the king baby, other than hating machines? I enjoyed the flashbacks to the king being a good dude in the B playthrough and the related sidequest ended a bit goofy.

Hackan Slash posted:Forest stuff. I'm pretty sure it's just because she hates machines. Speculation on my part, but perhaps it's to show her growth in a clumsy way. Goes from killing the Forest King baby just because it's a machine to defending Pascal and the children once she realises machines are just as capable of thought and empathy as any android, or perhaps more so? After we play as her, I don't believe she would have killed the child if she had known about it and its subjects. Also, I really like that bot who sends you to get the treasure haw haw haw

I got to the lunar tear house and heard about world war Emil, and even lifted the lil mask off his house but I didn't get anything that implied that it was the OG Emil or that he even died. Emil's my favorite NieR character so now I'm genuinely curious.

You need to let the quest fail at the end once to get ending Y. You can't repeat this if you successfully complete it so it's important to get ending Y the first time. I'm unsure if you need to beat the first boss fight against him which you can do by going back to where you picked up his mask and hack a new box there with 9S. He's level 99 so be aware of that Also get some tissues for that second quest because you are probably going to well up if you love Emil/Nier 1 even a tiny bit

are playthroughs B thru E simply "things that take place during Route A but from different perspective" or are they "alternative events that happen because of what and who and where you are"

B is the only alternate viewpoint. CDE are continuing the story of A and B

All this hacking in every fight (vs flailing weakly with one lovely combo or a bad charge attack) is getting tiresome.

First, draw a nine Then draw a more different nine  For a head, put a V on a circle  Then draw some legs, put on a couple of arms and...  Woah... Wait a minute. I think I need start over. Doesn't look... natural. The S stands for sucks.
