That's Yonah, OG Nier's child and the reason why everything went to poo poo. I don't remember them sayin' it was the inspiration tho.

Know Such Peace posted:I believe Yoko Taro stated in an interview that the meaning of "YoRHa" was a secret. this is reminding me of the running joke in no one lives forever where the villain organisation constantly reminds its workers what their name H.A.R.M. stood for as a threat but none of the employees actually knows what it stood for.

I can solve b), the states traversed by Nier Automata are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Considering that npc behavior in games is actually (still?) 99% modeled using DFSMs this pun/joke is actually way more fitting than it would initially seem. Wouldn't even surprise me if Yoko Taro stumbled across the theoretical concept at some point. The meta humor of a cs student always having a tab with a hex/bin converter open and taking a "screenshot" with a phone camera is just the icing on the cake. https://twitter.com/yokotaro/status/940324608615464960 fyi pocket camp is a nihilistic bleak hellscape of charmless rear end in a top hat npcs making you do their arbitrary bidding for no payoff and people have started building prisons and cults in it Yoko taro found his soulmate

Finished chapters A through E just a few days ago, and this may be the first time I actually bother to go back and 100% a game. This is my GOTY. My wife completed the game as well, and she never finishes anything. She actually deleted her save so she could start over fresh. And...she's picked up some Nier fanfiction. Well done,

But I actually sort of regret not donating my save when I was wrapped up in the moment. I knew I wanted to finish sidequests and poo poo at the time, but I also wouldn't have minded starting over. Game was fuckin good.

I donated my save a few months ago but I'm getting the itch again and have started to replay it. So far apart from skipping through some text boxes for sidequests I've already completed the game still has me hooked and looking forward to the next bit. The only thing that's been bugging me is a couple of the sidequests I never got to complete or even start, like those machines guarding those elevator doors who explore when you talk to them. That's part of a side quest line right?

Just finished Ending C. Ya know, I like SO MUCH about this game, but I don't understand why, right when the story really kicks into high-gear, they throw more fetch-quests, hacking, and enemy gauntlets at you. The tower was incredible in terms of story but I was getting so sick and tired of burning through robots by the end of it. I was hoping to get through D tonight as well, but I can't bear to play through the final chapter again just yet.

Yeah, i generally don't know if it helps or hurts to tell people that once they've finished C they're like 15 minutes away from finishing D and E, and it's worth every second. Usually there's plenty of completionist/sidequest stuff you ignored or missed left to dig into afterwards. I do know that painting the picture of "you need 5 full playthroughs to *get it*! also there's 26 endings wow!" instead of just up front saying "look, it's just 3 chapters, don't be intimidated" probably does the game no favors, even if it loses some of the surprise impact of seeing changes on "repeat playthroughs" if you expect just a regular NG+ (which is what the game's vocabulary suggests). dunno if that's actually a spoiler at this point but hey, with christmas sales and this game ramping in goty list rankings there might be new players coming in, so in the interest of not being a dick i'll be better safe than sorry

Maaaaaan I'm so glad I went back and finished it. I feel confident in saying that Nier can be considered a landmark entry in this entire genre of story. It's the kind of game that I think any science fiction fan owes to it themselves to experience, even if it isn't in their comfort zone. It's frankly absurd that we live in a world where Nier, Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey all came out in the same year.

Yeah that whole ending sequence was the best part of the game for me and brought me to tears. I couldn't turn down the opportunity to give that to another player.

I've been interested in this game so I'm getting it with some Christmas Ca$h. Im curious about the DLC; I gather it adds battle arenas and what have you, but does it add some story content as well? I don't mind so much about whether it's worth the price specifically(there's always sales and you can get the game itself pretty cheap these days so I don't mind pricey DLC that much) more in general is the ~Nier Automata Experience~ better for having the DLC?

Kind of, but not really. There is a very small story addition, but it doesn’t directly impact the main characters.

The story content is really good and worth seeing, albeit very short. It definitely adds to the worldbuilding.

Getting to visit the networked machine base and seeing everyone's just kind of a dorky salaryman having their own thoughts and opinions is one of the best pieces of machine side worldbuilding in the game

I've completed ending A again and am plodding along through B, I noticed the Machine silhouette in the Top hat looked familiar and so is its indifference to an admirer. Then I noticed that the theme park boss is called Simone. I'm guessing she's an allusion to Simone de Beuavoir another Existentialist philosopher and associate of Jean-Paul Sartre

I wouldn't call it essential to get unless you - like me - don't mind paying a bit (too much at full price) for some interesting lore bits, some funny writing and a buttload of combat (sometimes gimmicky in hit or miss ways).

ChrisBTY posted:Why was John-Paul's name bleeped out when 9S said it during his mission? Because the estate of Jean-Paul Sartre is incredibly litigious. In the original script (and the Japanese version) his name was Sartre. And then legal informed them they couldn't use that, but by then the voice work had already been recorded. So now it sounds like Jean-Paul is such a fucker that even speaking his name is obscene.
