It reminds me of D4 throwing in its intro cinematic twice, once near the start of the game, the next time when you discover that your partner is investigating something completely insane.

I kinda want Yoko Taro and SWERY to team up, now that I think about it.

Oh, and yeah. YorHa isn't winning this one...but that doesn't mean they've lost. Victory comes in many forms.

Combat data is quite important when you're testing out variously programmed and designed experimental combat machines.

I'd give this example of the cliche a pass for actually being the correct action to take, given that YorHa apparently had functionally limitless resources and less than total care for the mental health of their robots.

What would make anyone think he was at all liable to seek revenge?

Dude seems likely to kill himself if you don’t do it for him (either by wiping his memories and hoping newer Pascal can do better this time, or straight up assissted suicide), and there’s no “try to help him get past his grief at the machine kid suicide bonanza” option.

It's a whole ship of theseus deal but the main thing that would be missing has got to be that gentle Pascal voice. It's like the auditory version of a cinnamon roll.

The term "cinnamon roll" should probably sink back to the depths it was dredged up from.

Also, people, you're not going to solve "what makes a person a person? What makes them a specific person? What am I?" in an LP thread if 350 years of philosophy from Locke onwards hasn't done it.

So when you're looking at the Devola and Popola blowing themselves up in N:A, you're looking at completely innocent people who've been forced to suffer guilt pangs for something completely unrelated to them--it's almost literally Jews in medieval Europe getting pogromed once in a while because Christ, a Jew, was executed by the Romans at the behest of Jewish elites, when Christ himself wanted to die and it was closer to assisted suicide..
