Well I finally caught up. Been reading the Nier/Drakengard 2 lps to prepare for this since September.

I have a question that hasn't been answered in any of the lp forms. What's up with the faux-letterboxs during cutscnes in Nier and Nier Automata? None of the cutscenes are framed to use letter boxes, there constantly cutting off the characters heads and legs.

Yeah, Xenosaga 2's random battles are such a slog (even early game) that I have no idea how I finished that game. Thankfully 3 is much better in that regard.


You got to corner the Pope and air juggle him with ricochet bullets and shoryuken. It owned and was the only time the battle system clicked

I'm happy I didn't post the link for the video way early in the LP. I didn't know it was a reward for the dlc and I think DarkID slipped a brief mention of it during Pascal's village so I backed off.

200 dolls were created for that video.

Drakengard's multiple endings seems to be a counter point in reusing assets. Like every new ending in that game was accompanied by expensive fmvs and a whole new type of hell unique to the next.

Also, I know folks will tell me to DIAF, but Nier:Automata is an excellent backdrop for a MMORPG. Neverending hell war? Multiple factions within main factions? Massive reuse of assets? Perfect for hell war!

On one hand I think not renewing your subscription fee is probably a good way out of the forever war on the other hand I'd might just start Burning Man RP in the desert for the game's lifespan

Theres tons of things that can slip through the cracks. Phone posting right now but some examples could be a incidental mechanic or a story elemental no one noticed before from even more recent games. There probably isn't something like a hidden Kaine npc but things can still be hidden.

Chalk it up to another person that didn't know about the hacking A2 easter egg. That's the kind of thing that would be kept hidden for a couple years.

Either the game installs a save file for Nier if the player has no trophies from it or a download from PSN that will delete if the player decides to buy it.


That would be amazing if they gave you back your nier save file

You probably have some supplemental stuff ready but I want to thank you for your LP and for all the others you worked on. I am eagerly anticipating Final Fantasy Type 0.

From awhile back after the first ending. Yoko Taro thought it be kind enough just to let people screw around with enemy spawning and unlimited HP in a battle arena. I hope Platinum Games will continue that for Bayonetta

DarkID is The Yoko Taro ambassador , if it wasn't for him I'd have open my copy of Drakengard 2. Maybe one day I'll check out the short stories but like I don't want to waste my time either

For people still into Extra Credits after they decided "loot boxes are good actually" was the best hill to die on of all time, they're apparently doing an episode on Nier: Automata this week (should have been released today, but apparently pushed back due to technical difficulties). Keep an eye out for it, they usually have some pretty neat insights, even if they're physically incapable of seeing the flaws within their own industry. I'd have waited for it to go live, but with the LP over and all, figure I'd mention it before the lock.

I liked Super Bunny Hop's discussion about the game
