Late route A spoilers and also Drakengard: Someone having mentioned the fuckery with Drakengard 3's boss fight prompted me to watch some youtube videos of the Drakengard endings, and I find it interesting that in the E ending, the dragon asks if Tokyo is the land of the gods. Makes me reconsider what the machine cult was talking about when wanting to "become as gods," and this being prompted by their prophet guy dying.

I think the deal with the machine cult is actually (Fire of Prometheus novella spoilers) that they're trying to emulate Beepy who's mentioned as a god in the first picture book segment. He too "died" slain by Nier and restored himself, evolving until he became a machine god and left the planet along with his followers. The torches could be a very literal Promethean reference.

Route B was much shorter for me, because I had done most of the sidequests I could and the general futzing around exploration in Route A, but obviously if you do do those sidequests or explore a lot looking for locked chests then it'll be longer. I'm a scrub though who likes exploring but hates scouring areas for specific super duper hidden poo poo so I just looked up lists of weapons and intel or whatever. ... also my route A playtime was longer than it needed to be because I did a bunch of sidequests before unlocking fast travel.

I beat the game for the first time today and started a new game. I didn't buy the weapons from Devola/Popola and probably missed a bunch of other stuff, like bringing a photo of a flower. Am I screwed? I thought the game would keep track of my side quest progress but it started over. Should I try to get all side quests on my second playthrough?

Have anyone else experienced this issue? It's not really an official quest so you won't get a pop up but if he talks about there being lovely people who steal, you can go back down and unlock his chest and fight him not sure what the issue is if that isn't happening, barring a chapter select resetting things between stealing the mask and talking to him again

So, I have an odd question for those of you with any knowledge of Japanese. (Route B spoilers) So, when 9S is trapped in his own mind or whatever and Adam is messing with him, Adam says something along the lines of "You're thinking about how much you want to **** 2b , aren't you?". I assumed the point of that statement was that **** could stand for both "gently caress" or "kill", since they're both four letter words and fit into the weird sex-and-violence themes that the game has going, like with the strangling scene. But the game is Japanese, which makes me wonder - what was that line in the original Japanese text? Having **** stand for either word only works in English. Do they do something similar, or did it perhaps turn out that they were explicitly referring to one word, not both?

Vermain posted:It's deliberate commentary on the relationship between love, sex, and violence, especially the latter two. I can get into more detail if you really want, but consider this (ending B spoilers): When 9S is being taunted by Adam, he has the line, "You're thinking about how you want to **** 2B, aren't you?" Most people are immediately going to think of "gently caress," but this is a game that already has swears in it; why the censorship? In the context of all his talk about "hate" before, can you think of another four letter word that could fit in there?

It's even better as a pun in Japanese because you can use the exact same verb (yaru) to mean "kill" or "gently caress" in different contexts. It's sorta like "do them" vs "do them in", I guess?

The first two syllables of the Japanese are censored out and it also hints at "kill" just like the English can be interpreted in the same way. I've read that it's more damning for the "gently caress" interpretation not being a thing in Japanese, but also that "marry" might come into play thanks to the Japanese characters used. I'm pretty sure it's been gone over in the thread before, but maybe one of our Japanese speakers will repost again what they think

I like that the secret shop is in super-high speed when it's in the place with the fanciest stock. I don't like what I've realised I'm going to have to do before finishing the route though. Sorry Emil, but I need to get All The Things. Also that voice changer option is hilarious and should be in more games.

PC users: A modder has released a fix for the fullscreen-bug. Currently, when playing the game in fullscreen-mode, the game won't actually run at your monitor's native resolution. There's a more in-depth explanation here, but the TL;DR is that, due to a bug, the game will:
When you boot up the game for the first time after this, there'll be some diagnostics text overlaid on top of it; hit CTRL + SHIFT + O to get rid of it and it'll stay gone even after you restart.

On my second playthrough I just beat Adam in the desert and got access to the sleeping area. But there's no current objective. It's on, but there's nothing on the map. I can teleport to the bunker but nowhere else. The commander doesn't want to talk to me and I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this. Does anyone know what's up?

Okay theory time. Anybody else get the feeling the only reason Adam grows to become obsessed with hatred to the point it forms the core of his being is because 2B and 9S try to murder him the first thing he's born? He barely even tries to attack you at Level 1 and I feel like it'd be a very Nier thing to do if it turned out the protagonists ruined a potentially benevolent turning point in machine evolution without provocation. Hell Eve would've probably been an entirely amicable person without Adam telling him to fight and his later snapping when the brother he loves is killed.

Oh, I'll keep this spoiler-free but I just thought of something helpful: Reasonably late into the game, you'll get access to a new merchant who hangs out in the Resistance Camp who will sell you a plot item. They ALSO sell a chip that automatically picks up items for you without you needing to mash O, and as far as I can tell this is the only way to get this chip. Once you beat the game you will have to re-unlock them, so pick this up while you can because jeez it's a real quality of life chip to fill up a slot, its only size 10Nina posted:Okay theory time. I can see this being a solid line of thinking, but I also think that Eve saying "wouldn't it be more appropriate if we were named Cain and Abel?" has some significance as well. Adam/Eve are obviously reference the creation of man, which is really easily translated into the birth of the next stage of the robot's evolution into sentience. However, I think it could also be a reference to the relation between the brothers and the androids themselves, androids being created from the cores of machines. Thus, Cain and Abel would make sense as well what with the brothers being killed at the hands of 2B/9S. This would require a lot more thought than I normally put into reading into things, but I think their proposed names, with Adam deciding they will be Adam/Eve and Eve thinking Cain/Abel fits better, also tells you a little bit about their respective values, with Adam being obsessed with creation and destruction (and thus being so heavily influenced by the moments and circumstances of his birth ties into what you were saying), and Eve seeing the relationship with his brother as being his primary concern RazzleDazzleHour fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Mar 19, 2017 |
