And B is most likely Battler or Bruiser as guessed.

Edit: could also be "blade" as 2B is a melee unit.

Didn't Adam and Eve say something about a network growing intelligent?

I believe that if you chat up the villagers at Pascal's they also mention the network.

I'm only slightly ahead of the LP now because I didn't do as many sidequests as id has.

I'd forgotten how Adam cranks up the ham and the crazy to 11 in this part. It's great.

I actually never noticed when I was playing that Adam's voice actor is Crispin Freeman who used to be known for really delivering crazy hammy characters. He'd been out of the industry for a while (apparently due to medical issues) so it' was a surprise to hear him again.

Then I got to the point in Horizon Zero Dawn where Helis shows up around the same time I finished up Nier:A and....

Now that we've seen the beginning of this section, I think it's safe to say that I seriously enjoyed it. When I first saw the creepy robot priests I just couldn't stop grinning. Just like the amusement park intro, it sets up some pretty big expectations.

Yeah that's one thing Nier:A is very good at. It sets up unexpected situations in such a way that you never know how the other shoe will drop.

Not true. There are a bunch of pacifist machines in the open world early on who are still connected, and the Amusement Park machines also count as networked.

Ah, fair enough, I stand corrected.

Captain Kangaroo served in WW2. I think he's the one the rumors confuse with Mr Rogers.

Bob Ross also was a former drill sergeant. His super calm demeanor when painting was because he actually HATED being a drill sergeant and never wanted to talk like that to people again..

So is the ghost girl something only the player can see as a hint of things to come or can 9S see her because he's a scanner and just hasn't noticed her before?

EDIT: And since we're one fight or so from the end of Route B, are there any other appearances in Route B besides the two we've seen?

The first part of your question would be spoilers to answer either way. As for the second, I don't remember any more sightings.

It seems doubly weird that all the other androids would hate Popodev for "killing off humanity", when none of the other Androids are supposed to know that humanity is gone. If humans are supposed to be doing fine, hanging out on the moon, what is there to be so drat pissed at the twins for?

They don't actually know the details. They just know the old version of the twins committed a horrible crime that put humanity's future in jeopardy.

The machine network became self-aware and then killed its alien masters because it didn't like them. It has an extremely high level of intelligence. It has emotions and fully understands them. Adam and Eve were merely underlings.

It understands emotions now. I like to believe Adam and Eve were created for that very purpose.

Unfortunately 2B taught them mostly hate and fear.

Just makes more sense to me narratively that way. The network used Adam and Eve to try and find a new purpose. It found one in torturing 9S.

He says the YorHa server is a lie because it like all of YorHa was made to self destruct.

Iirc we don't ever get a reason for why. I'm assuming the plan was either to start a new YorHa after every X years or humanity thought a solution would be found.

Or this was all humanity's last middle finger salute to the machines/aliens.

Suikoden 2 and 5 are two of the best JRPGs you will ever play. Honestly I'd rate them as being equally good but 2 gets a slight edge due to having a better villain as well as the eighteen character boss fight others have mentioned. And if any one of those eighteen characters is underprepared and/or you don't balance your parties very well, you WILL get steamrolled. It's one of the most epic boss fights I've ever played.

The last bit you have to do to get the best ending in 2 is also rather neat and almost feels like something Taro Yoko would do. There's a couple little bits actually in both of the first two games that mess with the mechanics a little.

...! posted:

the most recent game was on the PS2. I would LOVE a new sequel on the PS4.

The last one was actually on the DS, but it's best to forget it even exists. Konami used it to test the waters, it bombed because it was awful and that's why I doubt the series will ever continue.

At this rate I can think of a few possibilities for what 2B gets as a DLC outfit, but given her default design work I'd guess that she'll have a rework of Zero's costume from D3.

I'm guessing Khaine or Papa Nier since the other two are Nier 1 outfits.
