Bad Seafood posted:Buddy, you outta hear the backstory for the original game. He is not kidding. This entire thing happened because a sociopath on a dragon fought a lovecraftian "mother" in a rhythm game fight over Tokyo and then the JDF blew the survivor out of the sky, turning all into salt and introducing magic into our universe, which became a plague and a murderous hivemind entity piggybacking on humans. Then Nier 1 happened.

Nier era events: Splitting everyone's soul from their bodies seems extremely rash and an all your eggs in one basket kind of scenario! I assume this maso particle that spreads the white chlorination isnt captured by stuff like filters and such so underground bunkers arent an option? edit: oh my god what's up with Kaine's outfit Synthbuttrange fucked around with this message at 02:09 on May 1, 2017 |

Synthbuttrange posted:Nier era events: Related: At the end of this game, is the entire universe hosed? Because the Ark is made from machine-materials that use magic, so isn't it carrying maso all over wherever it goes? And machines can be hosts for the Watchers, because Eve had their symbol on his chest, so presumably the flower continues its rampage, right? e: just saw your edit, the reasoning behind it (which is as skimpy as it itself is) is that she's got a penis in addition to having a male Gestalt inside her and she's ashamed of being a hermaphrodite so she deliberately accentuates her femininity but really just Yoko Taro DACK FAYDEN fucked around with this message at 02:12 on May 1, 2017 |

Synthbuttrange posted:Nier era events: They spent a few centuries years trying to fix it in other ways. Nothing worked. Project Gestalt wasn't Plan A, it was Plan Z. quote:I assume this maso particle that spreads the white chlorination isnt captured by stuff like filters and such so underground bunkers arent an option? The best explanation of maso I ever read was this: the maso particles were equivalent to cancer cells. Magic was simply not supposed to exist in our world and once it was introduced it spread and corrupted things. Once they spread across the entire world humanity was basically doomed. The only way to deal with maso particles ended up being funneling them back into the Drakengard 1 world they came from, and developing the technology to do that and implementing the plan took way longer than humanity could afford.

Maso particles no longer exist in our world, so it's fine. Getting rid of them was a 'too little too late' thing though. And yeah the dumbasses tried to nuke Ground Zero and all it did was scatter the particles to all corners of the world.

That sequence ain't the first time you're playing with machine controls though, your natural machine curiosity should've lead you to try every button as soon as you're in a new body

Wait, so for ending E do I have to do the thing it prompts you to? I chose not to for obvious reasons and it's not listed on my save. Neither is D for that matter now that I look at it.

I did. I went for C originally, went back and did D and did the shooty segment, watched the cutscene and saved and neither D or E is on there

It does pretty much exactly what you're told it does, permanently deletes all of your save files, then has the two pods thank you for playing. It also changes your title screen to a black background with Virtuous Contract stabbed into the ground

I think I'll take a last run around, then delete my file for others. I can just get to the hack credits then abort right? Or do I have to get to the end?

Once you first defeat the bonus boss ------Emil------- does going to an earlier chapter make him respawn or are you locked out of his shop for the rest of the game? I haven't upgraded all my weapons yet so I've held off on fighting him.

I also didnt realize that my save name would be used to broadcast stuff throughout the game so 'Butts' was the best worst name I could have chosen.

I'll probably wait to pull the final trigger until all(?) the dlc is out and possibly (hopefully) worth checking out tho maybe my lvl 99 save is going to trivialize anything but (arguably) desert emil boss anyway RoadCrewWorker fucked around with this message at 04:13 on May 1, 2017 |

So was there any online component out of the dead androids? Someone told me turn turn it on or I'd miss something cool, but I can't think of what that might have been?

The messages when you die in ending E and the help you eventually get. You get neither of those if you're offline

Should be able to get D on your save however, by just doing ending D(and not continuing into E after). D end is split in two as well so you may as well check it out once more for some minor stuff changed.

I only did like 10 side quests. You can't get ending E on your title screen through legitimate means. If you do it, it sacrifices your save file and thus you lose all your data. If you don't do it, ending E and the one you picked that brought you there will not show up because you didn't complete them. The only way for them to appear there is for you to back up your save externally and restore it. edit: You might be able to do it if you force quit the game right before the very tail end after you've made your choice but really why bother.

Deleting my save before doing the Emil storyline would've been a worse crime.  As is I'm gonna wait till the DLC is out and then do it.

I'm pretty early in the game (just did the second flying segment vs a repeat boss) - how much should I pay attention to buying and upgrading weapons? I played Nier 1 and there I didn't do much besides buy whichever weapon types I liked that were most powerful, and since that game had them upgrade on kills I didn't have to worry about upgrades.
