As always, thanks for you continuing coverage of Yoko Taro's works.
Hopefully Nier 2 will be, uh, fun.

It was a helluva ride! Thanks for sharing the game with everyone, I loved watching the reactions and reliving the experience! Well, without spending days on that final boss. That part I'm happy I didn't have to relive.

Thanks for the LP Id, this is probably the best way for me to experience these games, as these days my gaming skills are completely rusted. And I always sucked at rhythm games anyway (could never even get past the tutorial in Parappa the Rapper).

Hell.

Yes.
Unlike someone living in the Drakengard universe, I'm a bit sad it's over.

Maybe then next game will require a full set of Rock Band peripherals to beat the final boss.

Thanks Id.

He has at least once that I know of.

I don't have the link on hand, but it was that big seminar he did on his writing process; the one where he talks about writing with the ending in mind.

This was my first Dark Id thread, and I must say it was everything the rumors said it would be like. Insane, despair inducing, and sometimes hilarious. Mostly insane though. Thanks for doing this, and I hope to be there for NIER2!

I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

Yes, that's because Id is Taro's gestalt. One day they will reunite (and the universe will probably end.)

What I'm saying is: never the twain shall meet.

One question I still have: exactly what happened that forced Michael to reincarnate himself as Mikhail? Unless I missed it, he's shown going from Michael to Mikhail during the timeskip after Zero's failed attack on her sisters and at that point, it doesn't seem like they did much beyond hanging around her cabin. I assume it's meant to be left as a mystery but it seems like a pretty major detail to skip over, although I suppose that's just how Taro rolls.

Dragons get a wish when they die. Michael used his wish to reincarnate himself as Mikhail. This is explained in-game but not lingered on, so I can see how you might've missed it.

Back when the game first came out though, before anything was translated but Japanese people were streaming their copies, several people speculated Gabriel's attack in the prologue damaged Michael's psyche, reducing him to a child-like state. Though this ended up not being the case, it still rings a little true on a thematic level with Zero forced to care for Mikhail, her frustration with him and attachment to him due in part to memories of who he used to be.

But now they're all together. :gbsmith:

I didn't miss that part, what I'm confused about is exactly WHAT killed him during that time perioid: like I said, it doesn't seem the 2 did much in the way of adventuring after the failed attack on the other sisters and all additional DLC takes place before he and Zero became friends to begin with.

Thanks for the LP, Dark Id. Immensely enjoyable as always.

Now for the love of God stop flogging yourself for the sake of sadistic goons and enjoy some good family time or something.

I must admit I too am still not certain Id didn't have a hand in writing this game, but no way to know for certain so that's all there is to that :shrug:

Michael shields Zero from a bigass attack from Gabriel right at the end of the prologue.
