That loving bridge fakeout got me good my first playthrough. Anyway, A2 just needs to have a chat with 9S and explain what happened and everything will be fine.

Oh, now that we're here I can say that I like to think that 21Mom was an early manifestation of the machines' intense desire to troll 9S.

But as it stands, the people in on that particular secret seem to have held up a little better against it, if anything. Do we actually know whether A2 knows that, though?

I can't help but feel that 2B died for nothing. She didn't have to send 9S away like that. If they'd landed together, he could have treated her immediately. But then again, that's Yoko Taro!

It was me, the one person who fell into the canyon and managed to somehow get out. Ended up making things really effective in terms of story but i know that I also seem to be the only one in existence that it worked on. At least I was rewarded for my persistence with a great sequence of events! Dont worry though, how much worse could it get...right?

She didn’t know she was infected until it was too late. Besides, even if she did know she likely wanted him to stay away so he didn’t get infected too.

I still havent gotten 2 of those endings right now Only got the 9S one by accident (and got a good laugh out of it because it flies exactly in the face of 9S's determined claim of not doing just that) and yes I too got stuck in the crater even when I didnt, I tried to take the route passed those flying assholes and I just spammed all my rangeatk upgrades on 2B and let the pods have at it if I ever saw one of them get near me

For those of you not watching the videos (why the gently caress are you doing this!?) I highly recommend this one just for 9S's reactions alone because this is right around the point where Kyle McCarley REALLY starts going full loving ham. He's just screaming as loud and as hard as his lungs/recording equipment is physically capable of handling.

I know I'm a sucker for limp-through-the-level-'cause-you-got-hosed-up as a conceit (that bit from Bastion comes to mind) but god drat this was a good one. Even if I did try going along the right edge of the hole the first time, which was a terrible, terrible mistake. (I assumed the parts where it took away your jump control were scripted, and it wouldn't prevent me from jumping up ledges when I really had to. I was not right in assuming this.)

Y'know, after a while, you just get numb to this stuff. Humanity's dead, all of our android friends and family are dead, 2B's dead, 9S is either dead or going to kill A2 before dying probably and that's just ending C Is there anyone left they can kill at this point for D and E? I mean, if you go after Emil, Yoko, I swear to loving gods

I want to get off Mr.  's wild ride, but even then, the pain won't go away.Also, Nth-ing that people watch the video, because 9S really does sound like he's going to absolutely murder A2. Jesus, none of this is going to end well, is it? At least we'll still have Emil. They can't kill him off (they tried).

Mokinokaro posted:She's not YorHa so she's probably fine. This has probably come up but I'm not totally clear on this. So the Resistance and YoRHa are separate. They're both all robots, because humans have been extinct for thousands of years, though none of them know it except a couple YoRHa leaders. Then what's the distinction? Are they different types of android, like the Resistance is more mass-produced and YoRHa 'bots are specially made? Based on how 2B wants to get away from android signals, I assume they're all vulnerable to the virus. Also drat that 9S voice acting was good.

YoRHa are cutting edge, next-gen androids designed to kick as much rear end as possible. Same kind of thing as all the other normal androids, just newer and better.

They're different models, i.e. they're not synched up with the server on the bunker and (probably) didn't get hit by the virus.

I think the Resistance members don't have a backup system like YoRHa androids did. Now that the Bunker is gone, all androids are fully dead upon death.

Okay, so they're all androids, YoRHa is just the fancy ones that are based in the Bunker, and the YoRHa organization serves as the buffer that keeps both the Resistance hoi polloi and its own agents from realizing that the Council of Humanity doesn't actually exist. Makes sense. Also just noticed how 9S actually interrupts his pod when telling it to mark 2B on the map. I mean, instead of the Pod stopping its line, a pause, and then 9S jumping in, like "interruptions" are usually done in video game conversations. Wish that was more common.

It doesn't hard cut to A2 fighting the androids as soon as 2B reaches them, you have to reach a certain point slightly closer to the mall entrance. Unfortunately, the androids can actually attack you, and they can knock you away from the trigger point all day if they want to. Happened to me once, just got smashed into a corner and beaten up until I got that ending.

Sindai posted:Nah, I got out of the canyon too. It just takes some luck to not get disabled at the wrong time. I also got out of the hole, but it took so long and involved falling off so many ladders that by the time I got out 2B could no longer reliably handle a four-millimeter elevation change and the corruption timer ran out juuuuuuuuust before reaching the objective. That was when I quit for the night. Narratively this section is amazing. The gameplay can eat a bag of dicks. World War Mammories posted:This has probably come up but I'm not totally clear on this. The Resistance are androids more or less of the type that have been around since the days of the Gestalt project in the backstory of the original Nier. YoRHa are all top-of-the-line new-model fightbots built specifically for killing machines. It's kind of like the difference between putting spoilers on an El Camino and driving a Formula One race car.  That's the gist of the currently available information, anyway.
