He's such a big baby. All he has to do is get the kids to chant THIS CANNOT CONTINUE and another healthy robot will spring forward from his chest.

Haven't finished ending E (I am not good at bullet hells) but I spared Pascal because I figured there was always the possibility of more children he could help. Just like the ending of the first Nier should have been the end of society, there not being more robots produced right now could always change, and Pascal could have a new life to live. Killing him right then and there guarantees that doesn't happen.

Could someone please go into spoiler-y details about Emil? I didn't know that he was the last human so I imagine this is another gem they decide it to tell anyone so we are left in the dark unless we play Nier. Unless it ends up on Steam or I watch a long rear end let's play i will never know so please explain how he is a human and why he is hosed up? I thought he was just a wacky robot based on what we are given in this game. Also do the robots base themselves on him because they know he is human or did Emil have an active roll in that?

I thought he was just a wacky robot based on what we are given in this game. Also do the robots base themselves on him because they know he is human or did Emil have an active roll in that? I'll try. Emil started NieR as a semi-normal boy, but he was cursed with an ability that would turn anyone he looked at into stone. He wore a blindfold to protect others for the first half of the game. It's revealed later on in NieR that he and his sister were experimental bioweapons made by the NieR-universe's equivalent of the Umbrella Corps from the Resident Evil series. They find his sister's monstrous form bound in chains in the basement of his home, and she eats/fuses with Emil. He ends up with his signature moon-head and a skeleton body. In one of the final fights of the game, the team fights Devola and Popola. They succeed in killing Devola, and Popola has a complete meltdown from losing her other half and attempts to magic-suicide bomb NieR and friends off the face of the planet. Emil sacrifices himself to prevent a full-party wipe. It's revealed during one of the later endings that Emil's head managed to survive the blast. He is at this point the only surviving 'human' left on Earth, if you don't disqualify him because of his various bioweapon transformations. ---------------- Throughout NieR, Emil bonds with fellow outcast Kainé. They each lived alone for most of their lives due to their respective curses, but they end up with a sibling-like bond to each other. At the midpoint of the game, Emil is forced to turn Kainé to stone to prevent her from going berserk. After Emil gets turned into a freaky skeleton, he gains the magical ability to heal Kainé from her petrification. He hides to avoid frightening her, but she immediately recognizes Emil despite his disfigured moon-head. Memories of Kainé are what kept Emil going through the millenia as a quasi-immortal magical weapon. The Lunar Tear quest is based on Emil attempting to regain his fading memories. Kainé's grandmother left her a necklace made up of the extremely rare flower, so she is linked symbolically to the flower. Emil's shrine of flowers is dedicated to her memory and surrounds a recreation of her small shack home where she grew up. ---------------- Unless I'm mistaken, Emil's similarity to machine lifeforms is left open-ended. It's possible that the aliens based their technology on Emil, since he was probably a greater threat to them than all of the androids. It's also possible that the clones of Emil became the basis for machine lifeforms after his personality became too fragmented by the self-cloning process.

The machines are described quite differently in The Flame of Prometheus novella, as resembling a catfish, which seems to imply they at first looked like their creators what's with the aliens' catfishy whiskers so I think it's entirely plausible as adaptive weapons they evolved to look like the strongest fighter they ran into on Earth which just happened to be Emil. Since later on we get Adam and Eve who knows maybe with time most machines would've evolved to look like YoRHa.

Finally getting around to playing this -- is there a bug in this game that constantly kicks 2B out of running (not sprinting) and has her walk instead? Sprinting never gets interrupted, but if I'm just at the jogging pace, she'll frequently slow to a walk until I re-initiate running. Couldn't find anything about this via google so I'm suspecting my Dualshock 4 is getting long in the tooth. Nothing like this happens in any other game, though.

Have you tried just holding forward on the keyboard bindings to see if it still happens? I was using a DS4 with DS4Windows for 80 hours and cant remember anything like that. Sounds like a bit of a deadzone issue on the thumbstick maybe.

Sounds like a bit of a deadzone issue on the thumbstick maybe. No can do! (I'm playing on PS4.) I guess it must be a combo of the game having a real slight deadzone between run and walk, and my controller going out. Oh well. Jack-Off Lantern posted:Are you by any chance stumbling over debris? That'll slow you down Nah, I don't suspect so -- it'll happen on perfectly flat ground, and there's no animation of stumbling or anything similar that goes along with it.

Note though in the cd drama and the storybook segment he's fighting the actual aliens themselves instead of machines. I don't think at that point they would've had any idea what a human isAkuma posted:So I never did anything at all with Emil in Automata, does the reason his head is inside a machine/"where am I?" ever get explained? Nope! That's something for a novella to explain one day I guess

More like a combination of deadly heal, offensive heal, and auto heal. Seriously, use all three of those with Berserker mode. Maybe add auto item too.

So I just got my 80% Quest completion trophy upon finishing Speed Star. For anyone else still having trouble, starting the self-detonation as you fall off the first building and then dashing out of it as you hit the ground seemed to do the trick for me. From there just dash dash dash until the goal.

Did anyone not keep the auto-item-pickup chip on for the rest of the game after you bought it? Really feels like that should've been a default thing you can turn off if you want rather than something you have to unlock.

And it gets superseded by much better healing chips. Edit: I didn't see the word "pickup". To answer your question, of course I kept that chip on.
