Hello Nier Automata Thread.

I just preordered this and I'm super hype without actually informing myself at all about the game. I spend ridiculous amounts of money on the Nier Soundtracks and will probably buy all Nier Automata Related Things.

Edit:

Wasn't the Drakengard 2 Director some no name guy they poached from the Drakengard 1 team?

I was under the impression he was in some kind of a team involved but not key personnel? Though this is based on citations sourced to japanese articles I can't read so it's fair enough to assume it's false

He is credited as "Video Editor" I think. Which means poo poo all probably and is a honorary credit at best?

maybe he edited the cutscenes?

Wouldn't it be weird to go from Game Director to Video Editing Grunt, other than it being a punitive assignment due to some corporate stuff going on?

I already got the game digitally but I was considering double dipping.

Yeah, I might buy the shirt separately. It's not a 50 Euro thing, sadly

You could just but the T-shirt edition and then sell the game on eBay or something.

I might just do that , I hope the shirt is wrapped separately

I'm just gonna keep the physical version as well. Let's not pretend I didn't buy all the Nier OST, Drakengard 3 with Season Pass and a Poster.

Drakengard 1 is wacky. Mainly because you don't expect it

But wacky and hosed up or sad aren't mutually exclusive.

Like Emil in Automata. He sure is wacky but sad :smith:

I actually got teary.

Use the down attack and evade cancel before you touch the ground on the startup. Evade Distance helped me a lot as well.

I have Emil story questions that I kinda forgot about until now.

Why was he in a robot anyway? Like... is he the only one in one of em? He didn't even know why he was in there himself and that detail is just kind of confusing me in hindsight.

Also isn't he and his clone army TECHNICALLY human? I mean dudes a skeleton ball so maybe it's hard to argue that with the machines/androids but I find it kind of funny that he's the thing androids are trying to protect.


I guess he ended up inside a machine factory somehow and got grafted in?I wouldn't worry about it, it seemed like slapstick. He is pretty much immortal, i guess he needs the least protection.

Thanks, Artelier.

Also, what items can I safely sell?

Everything that says "can be sold for profit"
Fish, Human Garbage like Necklaces, Machine Cores(those increase in value the farther you are in the game, tho)

I played up to ending C and unlocked debug menu, chapter select, etc but now what? If I restart from that save file the game begins from what looks like route A again but with levels and gear carried over, is that the path to ending D? Or do I need to pick another character at the A2/9S choice, NieR 1-style? (still have a save file there)

tl;dr what are the reqs for endings D and E?

use chapter select, in the final fight choose 9S for D. E follows
