So glad we finally got here. Yeah. Now we have only 1/4th (1/5 if you count not-Sephiroth) of machines who disconnect from the network being "normal" Don't disconnect.

So, "normal" is isolating yourself in a village with a bunch of innocent-minded robot children and world-renowned jerk Jean-Paul?

Isolating yourself in the one bastion of peace and happiness in the Drakenier universe is probably the dumbest, worst idea ever though. That's where all the really bad poo poo goes down, man!

Always keeps you surprised, this game. Also my first playthrough I hadn't found Emil again so I was expecting him to be the cult leader in some kind of hilarious goofy mixup. Hell, I half expected the robo head to split apart and reveal him again.Begemot posted:Fun fact: the enemies in the throne room are not endless. If you happen to enjoy killing religious zealots you can keep at it while Pascal waits in the elevator. I found this out almost by accident. It occurred to me that if Pascal had visited on his own, they'd have killed him. So they all had to be destroyed. This carried on through the whole factory. It took a while. Many gods were made that day.

Pascal's village has a bunch of other adults, though? Like Mother Machine and Father Machine? I'm pretty sure Pascal's village is as close to normal as you can get considering the circumstances.

Don't forget the two Ken dolls trying to explore the concepts of family and, of course, death itself. Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:Pascal's village has a bunch of other adults, though?

We don't know what's become of him since he gained leather pants and a haircut. Man, this part of the game. I was hoping for once the religious guys wouldn't be utterly insane but welp, At least the time from "religious group" to "catastrophic orgy of death and suicide" was very short and not played as a big shocking turn of events, I guess.

There are a bunch of pacifist machines in the open world early on who are still connected, and the Amusement Park machines also count as networked.

If you'll recall Adam was passive after being born, too. He'll just stand there until you attack him. Really this is all the fault of our protagonists, who filled the first moments of half the machine network's admin consciousness with murder.

Religious nerd here. "become as gods" was worded that way because of the King James translation of Genesis 3:5. When the serpent tempts Eve to eat the Apple. "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." and Genesis 3:22 "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us" Remix, and we get "Become As Gods" Yeah, this is where Xenogears got it too.

The Network's creators are long dead, humanity is basically irrelevant, so they really have nothing else to do. Since their creators were so culturally primitive, they're getting curious about those weird bipedal apes their creators hated so much. It's either that or just fight androids forever.

Not exactly nier related, but related to previous Id Let's plays But we finally have an explanation as to why Tetsuya Nomura 'loves' belts and zippers so much http://nichegamer.com/2017/07/19/tetsuya-nomura-finally-explains-obsession-zippers-belts/ In one word: Spite pure spite quote:“At that time, people teased me about zippers and belts and whatnot and I’m the type of person if somebody eggs me on I’m gonna do it more!”
