Going through the process now of unlocking Ending E. Goddammit, I thought I had to just get to The Aerie and the new stuff would kick off from there. Of course they managed to squeeze in another trip to the Junk Heap at the last second.

2 has some decent bits here and there but it’s not a very good or interesting story overall.

Melomane Mallet posted:I used the sandspouts and bypassed walking through the desert all together. I forgot when/how the sandspouts were unlocked and didn't open them up until near the end of the game the way I did the fragile delivery was to take the long way circling around the outside of the desert so that I only had to deal with a few wolves, and I camped on top of one of the sandspouts and shot those ones with magic until they died

ChaosArgate posted:I think a lot of the relationship between Emil and NieR is super contextual depending on whether its Bro NieR or Dad NieR; Bro befriends Kaine and Emil, but with Dad, it feels more like he adopts them, so for that one scene that I think we're all talking about, Bro and Emil have a conversation about how Emil will find a nice lady one day but he just kind of mutters that he's not looking for a lady after Bro and Weiss leave, but on the other side, the conversation is more about Dad's old wedding and Emil wonders if he'll ever get married again and it kinda comes off as him wanting an adoptive Mom too. which is why the almost-kiss scene with kaine felt weird and out of left field in Gestalt but makes perfect sense in Replicant

Ruffini posted:What's the best way to track collecting all the weapons? I just got to route C but I've been hesitant on working on it. -Buy all the weapons from the weapon shops in the Village, Seafront, and Facade. -Clear the 3 DLC challenges from the diary in Nier's house -Do the following sidequests: ---1) "A Bridge in Peril" from a guy in the village ---2) "A Shade Entombed" and "Disturbing the Sleep of Kings" from the king of Facade, after doing the Part 2 storyline in Facade ---3) "The Damaged Map" from the blacksmith in the village If you don't have 100% weapons after this, you probably missed one of the ones that are placed in crates along the critical path.

Ytlaya posted:This post confuses me because that's pretty obviously an actual graphical glitch. I don't recall any "screen goes glitchy when moving the camera" part of the first play-through in the City Ruins. they are not talking about the video that you are talking about, they are talking about the letterboxing during cutscenes that frames them in a cinematic 2.35 aspect ratio Augus fucked around with this message at 19:53 on May 11, 2021 |

no that's still letterboxing it's just a kind of "soft" letterboxing. it's leaving the complete image in the game but directing your eyes towards the important space.

# ¿ May 11, 2021 20:21 |

Drakengard 3 used regular solid black letterboxing so it's definitely a stylistic choice for Nier in particular. I like the effect. It's hard to describe but it kinda adds to the melancholy, dreamlike atmosphere that Nier has in a way

Ainsley McTree posted:I'm watching an LP of Drakengard 3 now that i've finished watching the first game, and maybe it's just because anything looks good next to drakengard 1, but this game actually looks kind of good and fun? I also love the musou games so my taste is questionable but it looks like my jam and I wish I could play it myself honestly the game is decently fun when it isn't running at a single digit framerate

Ainsley McTree posted:Also I think the Lost Shrine might is supposed to be some kind of hospital or nursing home, in case you wanted to feel even worse about running through it a dozen times I don't think it's that. Tyrann calls it "a cursed place where incomplete shades gather" and Gretel yells at the small shades at first calling them "defective". I figure it's that the shrine is where the entrance to Shadowlord's castle is and all the rejects who weren't let in are waiting at the gates.

not surprising that it isn't actually an easter egg in the game but that doesn't answer the questions of "why" and "how" I find it hard to believe some absolute prodigy of Nier Automata modding emerged out of nowhere just to pull one over on reddit

Here's the English dialogue from Emil's wedding talk in the remake, which is more or less accurate to the original Replicant:quote:Emil: "Oh..." And here's the dialogue from Gestalt: quote:Emil: "Oh..." Note that Gestalt has Emil say for himself that he wants a wife rather than having it be an assumption on Nier and Weiss's parts Augus fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Aug 16, 2022 |

Nier Automata generally aims to be thought-provoking more than its trying to be relatable. The setting is pretty alien at first glance, you’re a weird gothic samurai robot fighting weird geometry robots. It’s trying to make the player think about things in a different way than they normally would and ask themselves difficult questions.NikkolasKing posted:Its vastly superior sales can probably be safely attributed to having a sexy rear end lady protagonist, as well as having gameplay that isn't total garbage like Nier's was. probably helps that it had Platinum’s name attached to it, was marketed more than “not at all”, and yoko taro’s appearance onstage in his Emil mask to unveil the game was the only fun and memorable part of an otherwise miserable E3 press conference and got a lot of people curious about what was up with that.

oh yeah also Nier Automata has a unique aesthetic that stands out at a glance while the original Nier had box art that looked like this

Shinjobi posted:Yes, because what the game needed was old man Nier being romantically desired by a young boy. That would have been a great look instead, yeah? I mean if it was just because of that they could have kept that he was gay and just removed the implication that he was attracted to Nier specifically. It’s weird for them to specifically add a line where he’s like “I hope I can get married TO A WOMAN, I WANT A HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE TO A FEMALE WOMAN” I don’t think it’s a big stretch that the marketing team who decided the game needed a buff manly man in order to sell copies might’ve also said “no gay stuff” in the year 2010.

There is no original JP script for Gestalt. Gestalt was released in Japan but it had English voices only.
