Replaying the game since I did the thing your meant to do and discovered you can spare Augustus. Beat him and his brothers and headed straight for the door and no A2 massacre cutscenes.
I think it also changes his unit data if you do that.

I'm now watching videos about 2B x 9S.
Help.
I wouldn't mind some, i really need to cry some more.
the fucking late opening sequence at the beginning of Route C is so fucking dope
I wonder if it'd have been more effective to withhold Route A and B's title cards and make C's the only ingame one - it works well in the moment, but the impact could have been even greater that way.
I actually can't even remember if A/B had title cards.
Maybe I should do a second playthrough.
Catching a lot of new stuff on a second playthrough. Just repaired a dead android and it turned hostile and attacked me.
Oh...I, uh, never even tried to repair them...is this in a place that makes sense one would attack you?
Remains of another player. Was about to enter the tower for the big finale and betrayed me. Makes sense consider the logic virus is more or less active. Just got ending d and made 9s stay. Ending c and e tomorrow to finally replace my deleted save file.

There are also some AMV ones which is where I knew I've went too far.
Thank feck this game wasn't made by Ubisoft.
I hope to see a presentation of Romeos and Juliets touring the UK soon ;p
Tied up the game last night, with so many great moments. I really liked the dialogue developing between the two pods as the game came to a close in the run up to ending E.
I don't really get my heart strings tugged, but poor Pascal and his village.
The game would have towers with a "Wise Machine" for each one. You get to see more of the map, but for each tower you unlock, a machine jumps and commits suicide.

Just imagine Ending E.........
So, that pre-release characters trailer and the?papa Nier teaser ended up just being a red herring after all
Its beyond exceptional how the two pods especially 042 were able to be such strong characters coming off their predecessor Weiss who is basically one of the greatest companion character I've seen in a game.
Grimoire Weiss*
I saw online that I should have hacked A2 during the battle as 9S four times to see something? But I only managed to do it three times before she died. What did I miss?

Honestly I expected something about Nier appearing in this game (of course, not himself). It was a little dissapointing that the person his name is also the name of the game isn't even mentioned (as much as you can select his name in the first game). I know Taro doesn't like doing the same thing and all of that, but it's also his fist sequel, so we didn't truly know what he would do, but Nier Automata is so distant it could have been a new IP, much like Nier was to Drakengard 1.
Tbh, I always thought about what a Nier 2 would be, and it was more close to the first game, depicting the last remnants of Replicants and the fall of humanity. Of course the sequel ended up being totally diferent.
Mind you, not shitting on the game, loved it, just what i expected was a totally diferent thing. Guess it's also a Taro thing lol
Hi guys. halp. How do I reach the marked chest, here?
Platforming seems impossible, unless its needs specific glide/jump combo I didn't know about. :-\

Just finished this today, read up on stuff and have a bunch of questions:
1) When you meet Adam & Eve in the UFO area, they want to find/meet the humans. But Adam & Eve are physical representations of the terminal machine lifeform network that was only the way it was because it had already connected to the moon server long ago and been heavily influenced by humanity, so Adam & Eve should've known there were no humans?
2) So the "cycle" where Yorha is killed off because of the backdoor and their combat data is transitioned to a new set of units. I think the execution of this is the only thing that really confuses me in the plot. Because I assumed that the bunker was all there was of Yorha and where the server running all this is. So if that gets destroyed, how are the next set of Yorha units created? Is the explanation actually something simple like that there's a ton of Yorha bases around the world and the next base begins the cycle of war against the machine lifeforms afterwards?
3) Speaking of the "cycle" (again, I'm a little confused at how the loop works), do the machine lifeforms build a tower up everytime and it's destroyed everytime? Am I taking the world cycle/loop to literally? Is it more just that androids created Yorha Model A -> fight machine life forms long enough and then Yorha Model A dies -> androids create Yorha Model B -> Yorha model B androids fight machine life forms long enough and then Yorha Model B dies -> androids create Yorha model C ...etc? Would appreciate a fairly clean explanation of how the loop works.
4) (not really a question) and then throughout all these loops/cycles, the 9S model because it was so smart would always learn too much and the 2E models would kill them, right?
5) Ok, so THE WATCHERS. I think my biggest disappointment of the game's plot (which I definitely enjoyed) was seeing the angelic writing on the sub-towers and then nothing really comes of it. I find The Watchers to be the most interesting lore part of the Drakengard/Nier universe personally. I've been looking for good theories on the watchers and Nier Automata and haven't found much besides pointing out the connections like red eyes and stuff. Here's my theory:
Aliens came to earth with machines lifeforms, machines lifeforms somehow reached a point of evolution that allowed them to access a non-physical dimension where the watcher gods live, they found god and god helped them evolve and also drove them to kill their creators the aliens (because the watchers seem to like murder and suffering), the machine lifeforms build up their society according to the docs and install parts of worship of the watchers in, like using the angelic language on the sub-towers and the factory worshipping them. Eventually machine lifeforms are thriving enough that the watchers now turn to take pleasure in mass murdering them, and inflicts the red-eye as a digital virus causing them to turn and eat and murder each other. This virus spreads to the androids as well through the backdoor and is the logic virus. Idk, game could really use some extra info on this stuff.
6) What happens at the end of the tower? Like it made no sense when I did ending C and A2 reached up and somehow the tower was destroyed. At what point did A2/9S do anything that would destroy the tower? I know they got the terminal red doll girls to turn on each other and are we just supposed to assume that in-fighting causes the tower to fall apart in A2's ending? It's also weird how in 9S's ending where nothing is different the tower doesn't fall apart and launches a rocket instead...
8) Is there a material collection book out/planned? I know with the original Nier there were a lot of questions regarding the details of how plot elements/timeline actually worked and then they brought out the material collection which had an insanely detailed timeline from Drakengard -> Nier and it basically made complete sense of everything. Wonder if they'll do something similar to flesh out/detail some of this stuff.
If you can answer of these, thanks in advance! It's a neat story, pretty different from the original Nier, but more interesting than most game plots.
I don't think it's actually implied that the machines knew all along? I always assumed that they learnt about it when they infiltrated the bunker through the logic virus.
