The fact that it doesn't match the subs makes it even better. I know it's almost certainly an error in the text, but I like to think the VA just got really into character and adlibbed.I don't even necessarily want to buy stuff from Emil half the time, I just want to hear him say "Thanks, friendo!"
One question remains, did 2B know she was part of the E types?
was anyone else disappointed with the second Emil fight being a reskin of the first A2 boss?
I wish they would have done something a little more hardcore for that.
Disclaimer: I still need to get through ending E, am trying to finish up all the other joke-endings first.
So just to be clear, the 'cycle' of Android/machine war --> one side gets an advantage ---> wipe everything out --> re-build-up --> restart the war has happened more than once already? Or just 2B killing 9S during a bunch of missions via some form or another.
It's theorized that it's happened 14 times, because A2 was at the battle of "Pearl Harbor" during the 14th Machine War. The YoRHa unit with 9S and 2B is all new though.
Because A2's dialogue to 9S only indicates that 2B has killed him a bunch of times, as does the 'this always happens' espoused by 2B in ending A....
Yeah they have, but in their own cycle. 2B is assigned to watch 9S to make sure he doesn't realize humanity is gone. His recon skills are too valuable to just leave behind.[/B]
And the overall cycle of androids vs machines is perpetuated (either the original conflict, or the 2nd/3rd/etc... variation therein) by this machine consciousness (that is also faking being the humans on the Moon) for....what purpose?
They're separate. I think.
There's still something on the moon. Some supplies were sent, but most were empty.
Someone has to be receiving those, just not humans. Most likely whoever leads the Androids.
The Machines wanted to delete this data to move the war forward into a new War Cycle. Each cycle brings them closer to evolving, and closer to emulating humanity, which both sides idolize.
The two holo-girls are kinda obtuse and my mind was trying to take it all in at the time. Ending D indicates that they want to leave Earth, but I'm still not sure I get their intent (as machines who have gained consciousness after the aliens landed)
My belief is that they're just there for visualization of the machine network consciousness.
So which person did you prefer to play as for the climax of Route C/D? 9S or A2?
It was far more awkward to play as 9S due to his rage, but he had the much cooler fight (especially with Overclock and the Engine Blade equipped), so I'm going with him.
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.
Is Emil's van's music a remix of his original music?

Yea. It's pretty cool, or dark.
So I'm playing again on my double dipped PC version after playing all the way through on the HK ps4 version and I noticed something really odd. The robot philosopher in Pascal's village had a name change from Sartre to Jean-Paul. Obviously this character is a direct reference to Jean-Paul Sartre but why change his name for the US version?
Is this some really strange form of censorship? It's a bizarre conclusion but I can't think of any other reason to do a name change from the much more identifiable Sartre to the less obvious Jean-Paul. Maybe making it less obvious was supposed to make it less "on the nose" but I find it extremely odd.
I'm not sure what to think about it haha.
It was my favorite track of the first game. It was so full of emotion.
And here comes Emil being Emil. Turning it into a hilarious little song.
A2.
I was honestly dreading getting Ending D because of how vicious 9S was.
If you chapter select into ending E, it shows the last scene from ending C before starting the credits fight. So yeah, if there's a canon path it's A = B > C > E
D is the worst case scenario. It definitely not supposed to end like that LOL
Copyright issues.
Everytime i hear him zooming around the map blaring his music i just internally smile.
It was a bit immersion breaking though cause he came around the crater just as A2 was going into the tower...they were trying to have this somber send off and here comes emil singing that damn song lmao

How do I get to the Emil boss fight?

Man I'm buying a new GPU so selling off some of my stuff to make it easier and that includes selling this game off, but I don't want to for some reason eventhough I've done everything and got plat (semi-legit way, didn't bother to get trophies for grindy stuff).
Why do I have such an attachment to this game lol
Mankind went extinct but what about the Replicants? Or were they the ones that had to fend off the aliens at that point?
The replicants died of age and new ones weren't created as there were no Gestalts to gather the data from for the Replicant creation system.
Brah Replicants weren't even made to be sapientSo Replicants weren't made to reproduce?

Don't think about it.So Replicants weren't made to reproduce?
I can't find or quite parse the lyrics to Emil's song. Not the "da da doo dee" stuff, but the actual English (it's there if you listen long enough or catch him at the right moment). I just know it ends with "everything is great...when you're me!"
My stuff's so cheap
That you will not believe how much you can save
So swing on by and then purchase things til you're broke
Prices so low that you need a great sword
To slash them more
Any lower would be illegal
Really
Everdays a sale
every sales a win
Buy stuff now or kick yourself later
Everdays a sale
every sales a win
I won't even charge or markup
Everdays a sale
every sales a win
Better buy now or you'll cry all night
Everdays a sale
every sales a win
Every day is great when you're me

I thought the Replicants died of the black scrawl since all the Gestalts would relapse?
Don't think about it.
I think the plan was that reproduction would come back once they were reunited with their Gestalts. But I haven't seen anything confirming or denying that.
Out of all of Taro's protagonists, I think Zero wins the Sufferlympics. She deserves freedom from Yoko Taro's wild ride.What do I have to do to get Zero into another Drakenier? Best girl.

I never really thought about it that way. Neat.The best thing about Zero is thatCaim and Nier are presented as traditional heroes who are eventually revealed to be messed up, but for Zero it's the opposite. The people she kills are all already dead and there's nothing she can do to save them, and her sisters are all monstrous fakes. She's arguably the most traditionally heroic Yoko protagonist.
I was referring to the main characters of the series. Emil probably wins overall, but at least he found happiness as a truck (unless you murder him, I mean).Really? Even more than Emil?
