Okamiden was okay but it's no true sequel. Cute as gently caress though.

CJacobs posted:I still cannot believe how on the nose that title is. They had to know, right? They had to know. The "mankind is dead" twist is so blatantly telegraphed already in playthrough A that I don't think Taro planned it to be this huge twist, and the game isn't even designed to treat it that way. Plus if you played Nier and remember the Gestalt stuff it's not a big leap at all to assume it ultimately went balls up. (True Ending spoilers) To me 2B=2E is the true big twist of the game. It is hinted at but not obviously, and the existence and purpose of E units is buried away in a missable sidequest. The existence of E units also adds nuance to the prologue where you have the unit that was planning to desert and another E unit flying with 2E.

I just don't know how anyone was fooled by that because the whole time I kept thinking Spoiler for original Nier "But we already doomed all the humans to death 6000 years ago, I played Nier. I know how we hosed it up."

Because, man. It's obvious how dead they are. Too obvious. Kept me busy while the game set everything else up, though.

It's definitely not even a twist but something to make you go "Wait that ain't right" if you played Nier. It kinda shakes you up and makes you doubt whether you should trust on what you know about the story and I like that. Ultimately the way I see it Automata isn't a story that relies on twists at all to be good and I appreciate that.

Can someone remind me, what exactly did D&P do in the ending of the original Nier that people would blame them for that whole situation going tits-up? I thought they were literally just two immortal android overseers to a program that had basically been running on autopilot, and slooooowly breaking down because of... basically just entropy. Not like there was anything they could've done.

Not like there was anything they could've done. Gestalt Nier (Shadowlord) figured out that there was nothing that could save his Daughter, so he stopped co-operating with the project (which meant that all other Gestalts stopped receiving Maso and were slowly going berserk). The only choice they had was some Plan Z type thing where they could force all Gestalts to take over their Replicant bodies, but the Replicants by that point had become self-aware and wouldn't take too kindly to that. Their failure was stopping Replicant Nier from getting his daughter back and killing Gestalt Nier (Shadowlord) to do that. I think.

Zereth posted:Isn't the canon ending that leads to Nier: Automata the not actually in game joke Ending E from a drama CD or something where aliens invade? That's not really an "ending". It's just a story of "this is what Emil was up to way past the story of the game" There are loads of short stories and such but only really Space War and Flame of Prometheus are directly referred to in Automata

(OG Nier spoilers) Nier is brought back to life after the events of the game, thanks to Kaine and Emil (who has made himself a new machine body), via the sacred forest's stored memories of him in the Grimoire Nier series of novels. If you wanna take that as canon, that is. With Yoko Taro who loving knows.

I think the answer is really that it doesn't matter since everyone who isn't a machine or a magic weirdo is long dead anyways so you're kinda free to believe in whatever you want

Chibi is A Good Boy, however (yes he is, yesssss he isssss). It's like someone told them about the most charming parts of Okami and they ran it through a cheese grater. Somehow the artists on the original game managed to have a quadruped wielding a giant fuckoff sword with it looking weird. Now imagine that and the beadspitting in this engine. What were y'alls favorite tracks? I regularly have Pascal's village stuck in my head

Obviously, Okamiden didn't have to be DS game so this excuse isn't especially valid, but I think it's about the best possible portrayal that Okami could have gotten on the DS console, which was just a bad idea in the first place because it having a stylus doesn't mean it's a good platform for an Okami game.

A Beautiful Song is a perfect title for that one. I keep humming it to myself the most of the entire soundtrack. On the total opposite end, I'm also really in love with Blissful Death and Mourning. For all the awesome battle themes, the soundtrack has some amazing melancholy songs too.

That's most definitely the case especially since the DLC plays the version with sampled Yosuke Matsuda voice clips in the same spots

I thought they were literally just two immortal android overseers to a program that had basically been running on autopilot, and slooooowly breaking down because of... basically just entropy. Not like there was anything they could've done. Their biggest failure was not trying to put a stop to Nier's rampage before it was too late. I always figured they felt genuinely sorry for him and Yonah and didn't know how to handle him. Popola tries repeatedly to talk him into moving on with his life and accept Yonah's fate. The scene where the sisters ask him to go back to the village is less of a manipulative maneuver and more of a desperate attempt to stop him without violence. They failed and Nier & friends slaughtered everyone including the important Shadowlord. If they'd been emotionless machines they could have stopped/killed him years before then, but they weren't so they let him be. Of course, he was also one of the biggest defenses against the rampaging shadows. It's not even guaranteed they would have been able to salvage the situation with him gone. They were caught between a rock and a hard place. But they were in charge of the area so it's not hard to see why they would be blamed for such a catastrophic failure.
