Speed Star died as he lived: a cheating bastard with delusions of going fast.
Now that was one sidequest I was happy with the outcome of
Speed Star died as he lived: a cheating bastard with delusions of going fast.
so many of the side quests ending leaves bad taste in my mouth... damn..
Reading over the Art Book. It seems the commanders name is White and she had a relationship of sorts with Jackass. They exchanged information and Jackass even knew about the Type-E project.

Oh damn, I wish this stuff was in-game. I wonder what Jackass would have thought of the Commander's demise post-Route C.

It's actually in there. Here's what it says:
"She was the most earnest person you've ever met.
Hell, downright stiff in some ways.
And yet, you couldn't find a kinder soul if you tried.
It's not fair that I live while she had to die.
This world is just so....wrong.
Humans? Machines? Androids?
We're all goddamn worthless.
Anyway, I imagine I'll be joining you soon enough.
Rest in peace until then, okay?
Jackass."
I'll write up White's post here. May take a few minutes.
Yeah I agree. Loved the game overall but I really feel like A2 needed a bit more screen time. Maybe her backstory could've been playable instead of being relegated into a novella.One thing I was very disappointed by however was of the underuse of A2. She clearly had so much more going on about her that the main story barely goes into. You do get her backstory and more of her personality in side stuff but there was so much wasted potential I thought. I would pay a high price for DLC or anything else starring her.

By the way, what was the reason for A2 cutting her hair? I didn't quite understand that.
She absorbed what would be considered 2B's soul in this game through her sword. That essentially slowly softened her personality throughout her campaign and why she cares so much about protecting 9S.
Before she was just angry and bitter and just killed as many robots as she could.
Kinda strange she has her long hair again in the ending that is unless the Pods found other A units, but they were wiped out.
What I'm wondering now is who came up with Project YoRHa, since even the Commander didn't have full knowledge of it. There must be or must have been an android even higher in the food chain.
Also, what about 9S if you choose to send his memories with the machine ark to the moon? If you did Ending E afterwards, wouldn't he be the only one without his memories?
Ending E is the only Canon one, so if the moon thing even happened, based on what the Pods say, he would have his. However, it would be fitting and ironic if he didn't.
Okay, thanks.
A bit disappointing that they didn't put in Accord from Drakengard 3 btw, after she was mentioned at the beginning by the weapons trader.
Edit:
By the way, the Earth isn't rotating anymore in the game right? At least it's always sunny, and in a side quest it was said that it's always bright outside now.
How would that work? The planet would go to shit pretty fast if it wasn't rotating anymore.
Or just Taros excuse to not implement a day-night cycle?
Im glad they just mentioned Accord and didn't show her. As i said earlier i actually missed this until someone said so.
Im curious if we will get a crossover game, like fully. Since 2B, A2, and 9S are alive there can be some timeline fuckery and Drakengard can come into Nier or maybe they go into Drakengard.
I'd definitely be down for a well executed Drakengard. Platinum has some experience now with programming dragons after all
I feel like A2's development from where she started as a bitter and cold rogue, to where she ended up was really great, but i wish she had a full sized campaign like 9S and 2B instead of being relegated to only part of one for ending C
I wanted to see that development for her extended. The concept is so interesting. She's basically half 2B and half herself and she can't even tell the difference by the end where one stops and the other begins.
The most excruciating part of route C was that she knew everything about 9s and 2B, hell she WAS 2B in a snse, yet all 9S could think about was killing her based on a pure misunderstanding and his own anger and hatred at how he lost 2B
Persona 5 already loses in my mind because of the whole "choose your waifu" thing it's been sporting for x number of games. Not to say I still won't enjoy the game, though.
I loved that they used Accord as a way to explain how all these weapons from different games keep showing up lol
Does it count for an ending when you go away instead of using your MECH with 9s at the beginning of the second playthrough?
.......yep. It's kinda hilarious. Only bad part is that you have to do the robot oil-blood thing again
this the spoil thread lol
no need for tags
Lol, definitely thought I clicked the regular thread. My b.
Saying that Persona 5 is a game about choosing a waifu is about as true as the statement that NieR:Automata is game about exploding skirts and butt fanservice. It's there, but it's certainly not the meat of the game and can be completely avoided if you don't want to do it.
I'm not saying that it is, but the fact that it even exists just brings it down for me. It adds a level of superficiality to the dynamic between the characters and it isn't to my liking. It's the reason why I wasn't so fond of Rean or Falcom's pathetic attempt to copy Persona's social link system in Cold Steel.
I think that comparison is pretty disingenuous, that being said. Fanservice isn't the reason why I dislike the social link system in the first place.
For the record, this is all just story/character related complaints on my part. I'm sure gameplay and other things will be fantastic.

Okabe just confirmed on Stream that the choir singing in Ending E is the entire development team behind the game. Awesome.
Yeah it's absolute key that you do the sidequests for 60/21 and the village to get to this point. The 210 battle was absolutely excruciating. It was at this point that I realized the Machines were really bastards for fucking with 9S in this manner.
Ok, got ending E last night and now I'm all caught up with this thread. I've got a few questions that I can't figure out myself.
Where did the logic virus come from exactly?
Is the tower part of the cycle as well? We learn it's there to send an arc out, but does that happen every time or is this new?
Why were the machines so hell-bent on destroying Pascal's robot kids? For that matter, how did the machine village become infected if they were off the network?
Im in and out of here quick cause I haven't finished yet. Im glad I took a chance onthis game because its amazing. One question, when you retreave a dead player and you get those stat boosts, are they permanent? Thanks.
No you should see a plug in chip appear above your health bar when you retrieve someones body, it only stays for a little while.

Did this scene actually happen? I don't recall it, unless it's sidequest related or something.
Does the girl in the red dress appear in Drakengard?
I bought it recently to experience the Shinjuku ending for myself but the gameplay is ATROCIOUS and I dunno if i can make it through...

don't think so.
it ain't worth it.

Why did you buy it? Lmao, YT games are not for everyone for a reason. I don't recommend any casual curious person to buy D1 or D3 as a pure masochist myself. Nier 1 is an iffy prospect but before Automata was easily the most accessible game in the franchise by far
