Noper Q posted:I agree. I'm going to show Automata to my friends eventually, and I plan on spoiling that bit after Ending A. I think it'll make the repeat sections more interesting, since they'll be able to actively see 2B's actions in a new light instead of just thinking back on it.

You could probably get away with something like "2B has seen 9S die more than once" which is something people could reasomably figure out anyway

I just realized that I had a bunch of points at GameStop so I picked up Nier and after coupons it ended up being $5

I'm pretty sure the cause of the earth stopping rotating and the sun disappearing are "weird magic poo poo".

I'm pretty sure the cause is "we didn't have the budget for night scenes in Nier 1 so we made some poo poo up and now we have to roll with it for Nier 2". vvv Dang you're right, I forgot about that. Hikaki fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Jun 24, 2018 |

That doesn't quite add up though, because there *is* passage of time in the overworld of Nier - it goes from dawn to noon to dusk to noon to dawn, if I recall. And the weather varies. It's not like they didn't have it in the budget or technology for night cycles. I think it was a creative decision.

On a similar note of "unanswered questions", was it ever explained why a Japanese city was located next to a European Castle?

I'm gonna guess it's the same reason the city's there at all. The machines and the androids are both constantly rebuilding the city, that's how it's still there and looks so recent after 11,000 years, but the machines rebuild it ruined because they don't know it's not supposed to look like that. There was probably some confusion in the intervening millenia..

Quick gameplay question, but I’m playing as A2 and the desert boss Hegel (big snake thing that separates) is really kicking my rear end at level 48, any advice? Should I just bring levels a bit? Also, the difficulty spike post-B route is insane

Things will stop being insane once you get a few more levels to even out the stats.

Berserk mode is extremely terrible against that boss, yeah. Also, did you skip all the sidequests or something? That's an awfully low level for that point.

I didn't use either of A2's special tricks - guess I didn't feel the added DPS was really worth the hassle, and that's when I remembered they existed. Her extended dash was cool though.

Really? 48 from my recollection seems just about right for the start of C which is when you actually fight Hegel.

Her extended dash was cool though. The extended dash alone makes her the best by far to play as. Especially when you max it out with chips. Just thinking about it makes me wanna play some Automata. The enemies at the start of C were overlevelling me by around 5 to 10 when I first played and I did everything. After C's intro the curve normalises back down a bit.

I was loaded up on consumable ATK/DEF buffs for most of the tough battles by Route C. When you all are talking about being underlevelled is that taking buffs into consideration?

Hegel is a poo poo boss in general, and introducing Berserk mode there is really dumb because it's just going to get you killed there. May want to experiment with your chip layout before you grind, but I think that'll be the worst boss you'll face for awhile, if not for the rest of the game.

I didn't touch berserk for most of the game - mostly because i preferred to rapidly jump between close-combo range and medium range evades and toggling it constantly felt like a bother - but with the right healing chips it lets you do some hilarious hail-mary stuff in the dlc arenas when you know the wave layout and spawn locations beforehand.

I can also remember machines rebuilding human cities came up, but am not sure where - either the chest archives or Jackass's infodump. Though I'm pretty sure the castle is just a castle, serving the purposes of a castle - after all, that machine group had an actual king they worshipped for hundreds of years from the beginning of each loop

The game autosaves extremely rarely, you pretty much need to manually save to save the game at all, and you don't get to do that until you complete the prologue. You might want to just play through the prologue on easy just to get through it.

Probably gonna need some help with Emil's Determination I've tried for about an hour and cannot get the quest to trigger. I've gotten all the weapons to level 4 (saw the trophy pop too), finished Emil's Memories and beat him the first time to get the heads weapon. I see that the quest is supposed to appear at the old mall and it's not - I've tried to find it in several different chapters with every character. What am I missing?
