Thats how i took it. To me she was messing with him to appease him in an attempt to talk him down. She mentions his model being more advanced and that they knew he would figure it out and thats why he needed to be killed over and over.

Does this song make anyone else want to curl up in a ball and cry? I mean I felt that ending E was really emotional but if this had been playing instead I likely would have been an emotional wreck lol

Yeah, it's my favorite track. It's an eerily, soothing, but melancholic piece. On another note, thought this was cute when I saw it so I did a quick translation.

DLC? Maybe? Some more details of the PC release are now readable on steamdb.info https://steamdb.info/app/524220/depots/. The PC build the public has was updated 4 days ago but there's a non-public password protected branch that was updated yesterday that's newer.
It's called
No real hints beyond that though. Could be something, very well could be absolutly nothing but it doesn't sound like a patch anyway.

A2. I don't want to play as a (more)deranged Ken Kaneki, and i really empathized with A2's strength. She probably went through far more pain than 9S can remember being in, but still tries to enact 2B's will and is a genuinely good person who was never infected or sent spiraling into despair
9S for me, since I was more attached to him at that point. Bonus points for the rage.

9S is an impotent dweeb, i cackled when he fell on A2's sword and died. Queen got the last laugh

So the best part of this image (from the other thread) is that it might as well be canon since it's being served to 9S.

A2's fight is more fun but I prefer 9S' ending and think it segues better into Ending E. Plus A2 didn't really get enough development.
Gotta pick A2 for that fight. 9S is my boy, but that means i've gotta stop him.
I love that 9S can't actually win that fight. It's either a loss or a draw for him. Dude is just too far gone.
I wonder what waking up with 2B is like for him. I suppose if anything they both have stuff to be ashamed of now, so they might actually be even more open to each other.

A2 because I knew 9s had intention of just taking revenge and killing himself in some suicide attack. A2 would of at least tried to do something to help him. Isn't A1 ending canon to E since 9s lost an arm in her ending but kept both in his while ending e shows him with a missing arm.
I think D is still the canon lead into E, since that arm was a virus infected death limb that they'd want to remove as quick as possible anyway.
Here's some small interview with Taro
http://www.glixel.com/interviews/qa-nier-automata-director-taro-yoko-w472664
It says less about videogames than Taro himself tho
Has your view on game development matured over the years as you've gotten older?
When I was young, I had one wish from the bottom of my heart: "I wish all the useless and controlling elders of the gaming industry would die so I can create a game that I like!" Now that I have fulfilled my dream to "create a game that I like," there's not much left for me to do. However, because I don't have much else to do now, I am clinging onto my job as a game director. In a way, I'm just living out of habit now. And now, I have become that troublesome elder that I hated when I was young. Like a demon king in an RPG, I feel like I'm clinging to my castle of authority all alone and waiting for a new hero to come slay me.
lmao

I really hope he doesn't feel like he's just going through the motions.
There is something oddly heartwarming about Yoko finally creating a game that he seems to genuinely like.

The man really has a unique personality that I hope he sticks around for as long as he can. In other news I beat the secret boss and yeah
fighting Emil with his theme was just depressing. Poor kid.
Good for him. Hope he feels motivated to make some more games he truly likes.

and new phone wallpaper.
I should have made a separate save file for the opera boss. I wanted to replay it, but it's comically easy no matter what I do to gimp my characters, and one-hit death in very hard isn't my idea of challenging or fun. I wish there was a way to scale the enemies to your liking.

What about debug mode? Would that work?
I know how shocking this will be, but A2.
With every swipe her sword took at tearing apart 9S, I smiled just a little bit more.

That's true. It's fine either way but would be hell of an awkward conversation for everyone since 9s went full crazy. Is there any sign of the tower in ending e. Deleted my save and haven't started a new yet so going off memory at the moment.
Lmao
I dunno, that Pod guy is pretty cool

The pods are the real main characters of Route C
2B is like the one that's least aware of anything that's going on.
I wish A2 kept her long hair, she looks exactly like 2B and plays like her too more or less so long hair would've been nice. Don't know why she cut it..is it some anime trope of saying "I'm getting ready to kick some ass" ? lol

Yes, it's usually used as a way to symbolize character development, ass-kicking and what not. Gravity Rush 2 did the same thing lol

TBH I don't think 9S really 'earns' his revenge arc, either, at least in an interpersonal sense.
I know 2B reciprocates despite her outward demeanor in route A, but too much of the backstory for the two of them kind of feels like it relies on the outside material like the book that highlights her own sorrow and feelings.
A2 definitely needed more time in the sun than a couple of sidequests in Pascal's village and some text logs, but I like her better as a protagonist (though some of that could be me not liking hacking too much, or having to do it too often on 9S' route)
I was kind of wondering this too. Part of me almost thinks that 2B's memories started 'infecting' her upon the acquisition of her sword, but another part could just be the potential issues in modeling long hair in a prolonged scenario (versus one 'side-view' fight).

Was really impressed how they made the random conversation cutscenes between the two pods playba bigger role later on in the game. But 9s is the lead android for certain, 2b as much as she is my favourite of the 3 is just plot details and A2 was A2 i guess. Dlc which is unlikely should really be on A2.
I haven't actually put it on to test it, but considering that you do get her hair after route C I don't think it's a technical copout.
It's probably meant to symbolize that she's taking on 2B's role/mission/wishes.
Well, if the first NieR is anything to go by, we'll probably get an influx of material in the form of other media that'll explore their characters more. Not a big fan of the media mix thing, though.
There all ready doing that, we already have a novella detailing one of the times 2B had to kill 9S
Well, yeah, just saying.

It's a sign of character development, emphasizes the connection between A2 and the E-series, and represents taking 2B's memories and dying wish upon herself.

A friend made this fanart, and it makes my mind race with how wildly different the game could have been, and then how wildly different the two versions of Nier [1] were, tonally.
Only putting this in the spoiler thread instead of the main one, in case if SOMEHOW, someone missed that Emil is in the game.
