I mean yeah it was a nice sentiment in a way I guess, but these people also lied to you mainly so you could keep the lighthouse running until you drop dead

It actually sounded like they didn't really care about the lighthouse. It was an excuse to give her life a meaning. She realized that in the end and was grateful for it.

Yeah, Argate pointed out that it's always sunny so why do you need a lighthouse, and I don't think the devs forgot that. A lighthouse might still be of some marginal use, sure, but they mostly just gave her that job so she would have something to do.

Think of the most melancholy – yet slightly positive – means of reading into a situation, and in NieR, you're probably right. Besides the times when things are just soul-crushingly sad.

AIGHT SHITBIRDS, IT'S EXPLOSION TIME!
There's an interview with Emi Evans where she says she was asked to write the NieR lyrics in made-up languages that sounded like real-world languages. Kainé's theme is meant to sound Gaelic, The Wretched Automatons is meant to sound English, Hills of Radiant Winds is vaguely Portuguese, and other tracks are inspired by French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. (And Song of the Ancients is a mashup of multiple languages.) I think the idea is that they sound super familiar if you know the language in question, but yeah, the words don't actually mean anything. As for the mentioned French songstress who's been putting French vocal covers of several tracks up on youtube (I presume you were talking about Mioune?), she does write her own lyrics, so you're correct, they're not translations.

(You can read the interview here, but it's been a long time since I read it in full myself and I'm not 100% certain there aren't any spoilers in it, so you may want to hold off for now.)

Yonah just doesn't get to do it often, that's why her screaming in joy at you beating the final boss sounded weird. Congratulations, now enjoy the credits and the post-credits library party. Another good LP successfully completed.

Help, I can't stop listening to Kainé's theme...

Can I request a clarification: does Weiss need another, non-book person to channel his magic powers for him or are all those brutal finishing moves just Nier pulling cool poses while Weiss does all the work?

Disc 1
20. Yonah / Piano Ver.
Disc 2
4. Kainé / Escape
9. Song of the Ancients / Fate
14. Emil / Sacrifice
(note: I'm omitting a few songs because their titles are just a little spoilery and I'm going to err on the side of caution here.)

Also hi I'm totally not just uploading this at 11 PM because I forgot today was update day. This is the last episode we got done before I went on vacation for a few weeks and while I did get back about a week ago, we also have not had a chance to record more, so apologies for the brief intermission in episodes. If all goes well though, we should be good to go for a stream sometime this weekend!

I got to the boss fight in the previous episode without any herbs so it was probably the most frustrating fight in the game for me. The end of arc 1 made it worth it though, I went from being "yeah, I guess this game is not so bad but I don't get the hype" to "must keep playing because wtf just happened".

Kainé ~ Escape is the best song I have ever heard in any videogame. Song of the Ancients ~ Fate isn't especially far behind.

I think the video speaks for itself, but yeah, this is about where the game went from "cool characters, interesting plot, overall pretty good" to "holy gently caress".

Why is Nier rocking an eye patch now? I don't think he lost his eye from the Noir fight.
