I was anticipating a lot from this game, and it's now exceeding persona 5 as my GOTY (or last year) now that I'm 15 hours into this game. I would strongly recommend that everybody play this.

I have the Kami ni nare/become as gods chant song stuck in my head today. It's way more catchy in Japanese than English.

Jack Trades posted:Good, short primer on the Nier story. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that reading a 10 minute video on Nier's story isn't particularly helpful in understanding the Automata plot. In fact, it's probably more useful to read Yoko Taro's stageplay instead.

Finished the game for real. What an amazing Yoko Taro adventure.Blattdorf posted:Yoko Taro has entertained me over the years through Dark Id's LPs for free. He can have all my 60 euros if it comes to that. For one reason or another, I strongly do not recommend watching an LP of this game before you've played it.

Bugblatter posted:Four bosses in. Does it get dramatically better? I'm gonna stick around for the music and plot weirdness, but right now I'm not a fan of it as a game. I knew the overworld would be less Platinumy but expected the dungeons to be on par with the demo... feeling a bit misled. You're still in the tutorial. fadam posted:Just beat the first ending of Nier. I'm sitting through the credits right now. The second playthrough is for sure worth it? How different is it? You're still in the tutorial.

Mordiceius posted:So just starting this game and knowing nothing, I have one theory - Im guessing the name 2B is a play on "To be, or not to be" and a bunch of the story is her grappling with what it means to be human and can robots and androids be human but that seems too simple. that seems too simple.

redreader posted:Yesterday, I died in the prologue on normal then stopped playing for the night when I saw that it restarted the entire level, lol. So: Is there any penalty for putting difficulty on like, very easy or easy for the prologue then putting it back to normal after the game can save? Absolutely none

Lakbay posted:I'm going to disappointed if there's no batshit insane reason in the narrative later in the game that explains the lack of auto-saves From a talk at the Nier Square Enix Cafe in Akihabara a day and half ago: Q: What was your reason for not implementing Auto Save? Yoko Taro: When Nier came out, it originally got extremely bad reviews with many people saying that save points were old and outdated, and that made me really want to put save points in Nier Automata. In fact, Taura strongly recommended that we use Auto Save, but I refused.

Other Questions: Q: Are you going to release an Adam and Eve dakimakura? Yoko Taro: Seriously whoever asked that question please raise your hand. Yosuke Saito: Nobody's going to raise their hand. Takahisa Taura: They just did. Yoko Taro: It's a woman. We'll no poo poo. If it was a dude then... we'll I guess it would mean that they had some passion burning inside Yosuke Saito: No but really, you'd buy it? Really? Really? Yoko Taro: (listening to audience) "I'm sure somebody would be interested." Yosuke Saito: "Wait what? So you'd only say yes to Adam but no to Eve?" Q: How many resources were spent on 2B's butt? Taura: Well, there is a modeller in Platinum who is known as Matsudaira, who has an obsession with the shape of butts. In particular, he wanted the butts in Nier Automata to be depicted more beautifully than the butt of a painting of Yoshida Keiko, and... Yoko Taro: Actually, let me explain in detail. When I initially proposed the design of 2B to Taura, 2B had pretty large boobs. However, Taura strongly objected because he has a preference for small boobs (Taura: that's personal information!). Then, when I talked to Matsudaira, he had strong opinions on butts. Basically, Taura became the bobb representative and Matsudaira became the butt representative, and that's how we now have 2B. Q: Are there any gimmicks that ultimately ended up being rejected by SQEX? Yosuke Saito: I do want to speak of one. There is a message in the game that involves me being caught with a speed violation. Let me spoil it. The person who was originally ticketed was the CEO of Square Enix, but he got really mad at me so we had to change it to me instead.

Alder posted:About Route C Where did the Logic Virus come from again? Not sure if they explained it in the story or I was just too tired to recall. I just rmb everyone connected to the network were infected except for 2A. The logic virus is the machine network taking control of machines in a particular area specifically to further the cause of machines specifically, ie. evolution. The network is an aggregation of concepts and ideas that lead to said evolution, hence leading to a complex mimicking of 'human' emotions and existentialism seen in robots. The point of the machine's most precious thing is to show that (1) machines can develop sentience, but also (2) to get you to question what sentience really means. It's clear that robotic sentience is very different from human sentience. Adam and Eve never truly died, as their emotions and reactions are still tied to the network. Seriously, whats not to understand about the plot :sarcasm:

HellCopter posted:Having beaten the entire game, 2B's monologue at the beginning of the game doesn't make any sense. What's this about killing god? 2B doesn't show that much conviction about anything for the rest of the game either. It does make sense, but is very philosophical. Existentialism as Sartre posits does not believe in the existence of god. Nietszche believes in "killing god", which doesn't mean exactly what you would think at first sight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_is_dead The repeat of the opening in the last statements by pod is just reaffirmation that the answer is in our will to determine.

Nina posted:It tried to ape the Ending D of Nier but didn't have any of the same emotional incentive for actually deleting your save. A lot of plot points were left hanging and it just doesn't match any of the endings of Taro's previous games in my opinion. Very few of the plot points were actually left hanging. You either missed X or Y from playing the game too fast, or need to think a bit more carefully

MagicBoots posted:You know how a bunch of JRPGs end with the power of friendship and all your allies giving you inspirational speeches? Same thing except they are real people now I don't really like Ending E. It's not a happy ending. To be honest, ending C is probably Yoko Taro's happy ending. Although you can also claim that ending D is pretty happy as well.

FUUUCCK So you know how you erase Pascal's memory in the third run of the game? If you do so, then you'll find him selling all of the children's parts back at his camp when you next see him. One of the parts you can buy are a weapon, "Machine Heads". But... the weapon story: I LACK PARTS I AM USELESS MY EXISTENCE IS UNNECESSARY I TRIED I TRIED SO HARD MOMMY ... drat...

Archenteron posted:Yoko Taro apparently tweeted the following (a non-babelfish translation courtesy of Reddit) ""I'm constantly taken aback by Automata's speed as of late. It didn't even take 2-3 months and Automata is already about to achieve what took the previous Nier 7 years, from new goods development to various events. I am incredibly thankful to everyone who buys the game, but I sincerely hope you don't overdo it and keep things within reason."" I'll actually translate this for you: Recently, I'm bewildered by the speed of Nier. What has taken the previous work 7 years to accomplish in terms of progression of goods and events, Nier Automata has done so in a period of just 2-3 months. I can only thank all of our customers, but I sincerely can only reasonably hope that you enjoy the game.
