pentyne posted:Story is pretty bleak but not hopeless (except for the Sun & Moon geez), Yoko Taro to the max, all the events are more of the same, there's no 4th wall meta stuff or comical humor at all. What’s the gameplay like? Is it an action game with RPG elements like its console counterparts or more of a turn based thing? Also where does it fall on the series timeline (assuming it’s connected at all)?

Larryb posted:What’s the gameplay like? Is it an action game with RPG elements like its console counterparts or more of a turn based thing? It's a mobile game, so it's real time 3 party auto-battle you can control by choosing when to activate the character abilities and special attacks. You can set that to auto too. Strategy is 80% character and equipment, then timing your ability usages to stack combos as high as you can, using things like attack+, critical+ early in the combo. It's not directly connected to the other Nier games, but there's a bunch of weapons that are clearly references, some of the banners had Nier/Drakengard characters (maybe they will rerun), and two of the story characters seem like they kinda come from Drakengard 3 in a roundabout way. All mostly just references nothing direct. The main story is more or less self contained chapters tied together by the theme of the setting, The Cage, but you end up with more questions then answers. pentyne fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Feb 6, 2023 |

So pretty much like the Kingdom Hearts mobile game then, makes sense. Is the story mode complete at this point or still in progress? Also are there still weapon stories?

I played it a bit when it was new (actually needing the space on my phone was what finally got me to uninstall Sinoalice for having incredibly boring gameplay,) and unless it's really improved it completely nails the atmosphere, has pretty good writing, and plays sort of like classic Final Fantasy ATB if everyone only had "fight" and one other move. I eventually uninstalled it too, but especially since the Automata anime got paused and left me with a Yoko Taro craving that Drakengard 3, while incredible, didn't quite sate, I would love to hear that it gets better. Reincarnation I mean I finished Drakengard 3. Also holy poo poo it's not very Nier and the gameplay is mid but Drakengard 3 is loving great and constantly had me amazed that it is a real AAA video game published by Square Enix and translated for an English release.

lol https://kotaku.com/yoko-taro-mobile-game-sega-waifu-404-game-reset-new-1850100784 Yoko Taro is involved in a new mobile game from Sega, in this Sega has taken over the world or something, and you fight/join/work with anthropomorphic versions of classic Sega games, all appear to be cute anime girls. Art so far has Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter, After Burner, and Outrun. Fair warning, one YT game SinoAlice started shutting down some servers in 2022 likely planned to shut them all down, and from all impressions Nier:Re in early days was pretty dire in terms of f2p and progression. This interview is hilarious though quote:“It’s a game that features Sega’s IP, so I thought Sega should be in the game, but I didn’t think Sega would want to see a game that portrayed it well, so I portrayed it negatively,” Taro said in the announcement trailer (as translated by VGC). “It’s a world that imagines that if things were to go well for Sega but then got out of control, it could end up like this.” I would bet money that the Sonic the Hedgehog girl will be the meta in terms of fanart.

The second step was Sega Hard Girls, which is absolutely Neptunia at home Possibly the fourth if you count the obscure manga/anime World War Blue, a fantasy story which follows a group of characters based on Sega games in their war against the evil Nintendo empire. But that also has Nintendo and men so I don't know if it counts.

The anime is getting a dub starting this weekend, and unlike The World Ends With You most of the English game cast will be reprising their roles for this: https://twitter.com/NieRA_anime_EN/status/1636021570358636546 https://twitter.com/NieRA_anime_EN/status/1636021573433049088

So I beat Replicant last week, and then beat it again to get the B ending (which I think was worth it). I love the game but don't know if I really want to go through it a third time... is there anything of value in endings C-E?

If it weren't for E I'd say just watching the endings for C and D would be more or less fine, but E's pretty great.

Dabir posted:Did y'all miss that they're talking about Replicant, not Automata This. I did all of Automata (up to E) and loved it but there was an entire game after the second playthrough. I... don't think that's the same with Replicant (an extra boss at C, and then it looks like maybe a couple of hours of new content for D and/or E?) but I don't know. Twice through is enough for me unless there's a decent payoff.

I enjoyed it the second time around but I think more playthroughs would get tiresome if there isn't a big reason to play through it again. I'm content with where I am, unless there's something huge I don't know about (Automata style).

C&D can be done in the same playthrough since you can just reload a save before the end sequence after doing ending C and pick the D choice instead.

I would say E is worth doing in the remake, I really liked what's in the ending overall. C & D only need to be done as full playthroughs if you care about your save file showing all the save marks.

And if you do D you might as well do E C/D require you to have collected all the weapons though and some are missable necessitating further playthroughs if you didn’t grab them already
