And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Is Mechazilla really that rare? I turned in the sap right away and still found him out of chance like half the time I went through the forest zone (I encountered it like 3-4 times).

Maybe that's why I had such trouble finding other rare units, that drat dinofucker sucked up all my RNG luck! :argh:

I distinctly remember asking myself just what the twins might want desert roses for when doing that quest. And figuring out the most likely answer was making booze. What was it that one of them liked in the original Nier? Something with a worm in it?

That was Cranny Awfulslur from Limbo of the Lost, and that's mezcal but the game called it tequila, also no one drinks mezcal unless they have paint inside them and they want to strip the paint so it's not inside them anymore

On one hand it was a minor pain to find it again for the enemy data when I wanted to try to complete the quest at the very least.

On the other hand, I was mildly amused by Devola getting poo poo faced drunk in record time.

The best part was it wasn't even actual booze, you just stuck an earthworm in a bottle of sewage water and called it tequila. [/adventuregamelogic]

I mean, I found the Monster Type on my first 9S trip through the Forest Zone on Route C, on my way to Meat Box, and had been wondering why The Dark Id hadn't mentioned the super-cool dinosaur bot that I thought now appeared normally in the area since it's Route C. Guess I just got really lucky.

I was surprised the Godzilla machine laser was fairly slow. Granted, I haven't seen many Godzilla movies and the last one I did see was years ago.

Curious now how much the resistance androids know about the true state of humanity, if they're mad at the twins for the whole accidentally wiping out humanity thing. I didn't think they were that old. Maybe I'm just forgetting what how much of the "official" statement on the state of humanity included being aware of Nier's events.

Oh, it’s not bother! We’re happy to help

Specifically, that one that is a huge pain in the rear end quest the previous update

an extra percentage of that increasingly scare Unit Data

Despite that, we’re now done 97% of sidequests in NieR: Automata.

That’s in Route C we’re capable of doing.

Second one is either weird phrasing or you want "from the previous update"
Fourth is either "we've now done" or "now done with"
Last one also feels like it's missing words, possibly "the ones in Route C" or "that's all the ones in Route C"

If I remember correctly, the primary ingredient for the booze you were asked to get was rat tails or something like that, and in that case it was Popola drinking it instead of Devola because some villager wanted to hear them sing a duet but Popola needs at least a slight buzz to get her in a singin' mood.

I was honestly hoping there'd be another duet as a quest reward.

Hey, he had a good thing going with a beautiful woman who actually put up with most of his crap, and then she got ganked. I'm surprised it took him THIS long to start getting blitzed after that.

Probably a good thing A2 didn't know Devola could make tequila out of flowers, otherwise after all the poo poo she went through, she probably would've been dead-drunk when the Type-Es found her, and then she'd be just dead.

Weren't these Devola/Popola models just based on the originals to remind the androids how badly they hosed up? I seem to recall them mentioning that they're the only ones who were made and they basically exist to be pariahs.

I doubt the androids actually know the specifics, just that they hosed up at some point and deserved to be hated for it.

No, they said that when the one Popola/Devola screwed up, the other android models were so pissed off that they immediately scrapped all other existing Popola/Devolas. They decided to keep one pair around as a reminder of the fuckup.

It's implied that the Popola/Devola pair from Nier 1 were in charge of just the small area shown in that game and that there were a large number of Popola/Devola pairs all over the planet, each pair overseeing a small area.

...So are the androids pissed at the Devola and Popola model for not stopping the death of all humans and the failure of the Gestalt Project? "caused a major incident" doesn't really seem to suggest that to me, more like they're being blamed for Nier's actions of shutting the entire fuckin' thing down. Is ... does that mean the final ending of Nier getting wiped from the timeline is the actual canon? Everything that was Nier except the consequences of his actions getting wiped from existence so that his actions get assigned to the easiest to blame, ie, Popola and Devola?

...Drakenier! Timestream shenanigans, apocalypses, and shithole worlds that somehow keep getting shittier for everyone involved, even if they were only peripherally involved! I find myself longing for the days of a murder road trip between a murderous mute, a dragon, a pedophile, a cannibal, and a dumbshit kid directly or indirectly responsible for four out of five apocalypses. Holy poo poo is this game depressing. And hilarious.

I don't recall it ever being brought up in Automata, but IIRC it continues from Ending E of Nier. Which was this weird sidestory thing involving the tree-computer bringing Brother Nier back.
