Drakengard and Nier

I've taken the A2 pill. She's way better than 2B

what's the point of making an anime that tells the same story as the game, and is aimed at the same audience as the game?

Truth

A2's best girl in Automata, but she feels like a toned down Kaine or Zero with a fraction of the party chemistry.

I wish I were a pervert. I'd probably enjoy things a lot more.

A2 absorbed all of 2B memories, so you are out of luck

She's way better than 2B

This is true. But neither of them are as perfect as Gabriella.

I thought the anime veered in a different direction halfway through because of Taro's branching paths obsession.

bro, you dont even get the full story unless you consume all the media.

this means watching the two divergent animes, reading the Manga, playing the Xbox and Playstation exclusive individually, as well as the handheld spinoff, and dont forget the new secret ending in the remaster

I fucking hate the people responsible for this.

A2 becoming literally 2B made me think of Beerfest when Large Farva drowns in a tub of beer, but his visually indistinct "twin brother" comes in and asks everyone to call him by the same name. Really makes the decision to have 2B "die" seem pretty silly.

Taro totally has something wrong in his head but he makes hot women so its fine

I've gotta be honest with you, I just masturbate. I have never played or intended to play or wanted to play these games.

You are missing out on a lot.

Angel is a very commendable second place with a monumental gap between her and literally everybody else after.

what is the issue with this?

In a vacuum, nothing really. But here in reality its often a marketing ploy encouraged by executives. If you need me to explain how that can negatively impact a piece of creative work, and how it can fuck with the consumer, then I can't help you.

Okay, so you're a gooner and don't play good games.

wears the likeness of a character he created that is a gay twink undying superwizard.

Nah, he's fine.

Understandable, 2B is pretty hot. You should give a try to her game though. It's pretty good.

The second Taro set foot into the mobile gaming market I lost all hope for a conclusive Nier 3 that would take place in the Kingdom of Night

literally

I mean I can understand the feeling of wanting the game itself to explain more, but honestly, I don't really get the issue. Maybe I just had too much fun reading and watching all the side materials.

I wish either of them got any amount of art more than practically none. Angel at least has a good amount on Pixiv. Being a Gabby fan, however, is suffering.

Zero will be hotter than 2B in some ways.
Man, better play Drakengard 3

Okay, but what about intoner's ?

And I can see how one might feel that all the side material adds to the thing. However, being as skeptical as I am, im inclined to believe that all that that "extra material" is often cut from what could have been an all inclusive item to artificially inflate the thing. Obviously sequels and prequels, and actual side stories aren't really what im griping about. My disdain is for the "its the same up until some diverging point" type of media. I've also never been a fan of multiversal shit. What if stories. Seems like a way to capitalize on being indecisive and not having to commit.

Considering Zero is the only one with any real depth she's obviously the best. Then Two. Then probably One. And then who fucking cares.

In general, if you think about it, all intoner's are Zero, which, oddly enough, are an integral part of Zero itself and the overall plot of Drakengard 3. We can say that they are all good in their own way, because Zero lives in each of them

Yeah I get where you're coming from. Theres definitely a trend of studios milking lore and content across a dozen formats just to keep people hooked and primarily make more money. I guess I just never felt that with Taros stuff. It always struck me as more of a "this world is too big for one medium" kind of deal than a cynical marketing scheme. Well except until you get to the gacha game where it crosses the line for me and i would 100% agree with you.

I dunno, man. The best parts of Four and Three are their Disciples. Five doesn't even have that going for her.

Yeah I'm thinking sexo

How did they get away with this?

Real. In general, all Yoko Taro games - are fucking crap. They force you to use napkins for other purposes

Power masturbation

why am I seeing a surge in Automata posts lately? did somebody drop a new video essay on youtube?

A2 had no reason to continue existing anymore, That was kinda the point of her becoming 2B, she just gave 2B her body. It's why i think it's silly people keep thinking A2 a better main character than 2B, when your still playing as 2B.

This is facilitated by the anime and some rumors about the development of a new part of the series.

Mostly for A2 desu, anime massively enhanced her and her assets.

Besides, not everyone has the opportunity to try out NieR Automata, so this is a logical move on the part of Yoko Taro.

Also the stage play
Unless that story got covered somewhere else I missed that

Mostly of A2, quite little of 2B, and they're rarely the focus.

Money

+

Did they ever release/did we ever get a full recording (official or not) of the 12024 Orchestra+plays? I only remember individual amateur recordings.

So, what the fuck happened in that dead gacha? Humans are dead forever? And how are timelines supposed to bring the end of everything when the universe is always expanding?

Humans are dead forever?

That's been a thing since the original NieR. Killing the Shadowlord meant all Gestalts eventually relapsed, and their respective Replicants in turn contracted Black Scrawl. There was no coming back from that. Dad of the Year.

Wasn't the whole project doomed regardless, and they were all living on borrowed time?

And I've taken the Commander pill. She's way better than 2B and A2.

blonde

disgusting

Shadowlord was the first Gestalt that worked and he was stabilizing the rest of them. It still probably wouldn't have worked as the Replicants had become their own people, but there was a sliver of a chance. But it was for sure just shitfucked when he ate shit.

Taro is honestly a hack. If anyone out there is considering doing the Nier deepdive, I would say don't bother. I wish I could get my time back. go read some Shakespeare or something, this shit is just the ravings of a retarded manchild.

Reminder the 1st season of this anime flopped and coincidentally only had like 3 butt shots in the entire thing(way less than the average anime)
So they decided for the second season to give nigger asses to the characters to cater to america and the 2nd season end up flopping harder since now they made it unwatchable for their own country lmao

How did you come to this conclusion?

2B is A2 though?

We know. Hipster.

Sorry for trvthnvking

Secondaries. They won't play Automata all the way through but they will watch an anime about it.

Her immediately cutting her hair short makes this so obvious in hindsight

Why is Japan like this? Nasuverse (Notes, Kara no Kyokai, Tsukihime, Fate) is also autistic like this.

don't post her in this shithole full of 2Bitch retards

For me it's Pascal

we know 2b troon

distinguished choice

i'm playing it and Anon Babble is gangstalking me

Automata was a mistake

99% of these threads are just coomers and their weird fetishes, this one is different though...

post A2

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

A2 didn't become 2B you retards. She read a book about 2B and that's all.

A2 had no reason to continue existing anymore

You are so wrong about this. A2's gf told her to live. 2B told her to live. That's her purpose.

Why she kill the baby tho...

TMD

A2's gf

what

You’re the worst kind of dumb nigger

2B uploaded her memories to her sword. So A2 can see those memories, that doesn't mean 2B inhabited A2 or anything like that. Why would you think that is the case?

imagine being the last human alive in Nier, the androids would SUCK you

From the 2015 stage play/in-game vn/anime flashback/prequel manga.

they are just families

ok but that will be more confusing without explanation

A2
WIFE

Enjoy having your bedroom trashed.

Some probably would. Most would likely be keeping you under lock and key. Of course the N2 network would have already hatched a plan to deliver you into its clutches.

Parallel Paradise but with androids...

YoRHa No.10 Type H.

Shit taste

Exactly. The remaining YoRHa units would see you as a strategic asset or even a religious symbol, not a person. Best case scenario, you're hooked up to a life support system and worshipped from a distance. Worst case? Data-mined, used as a bargaining chip, or straight up dissected by some rogue machines following a corrupted directive. It's not gonna be the harem fantasy some anons are hoping for.

Nier 4 protagonist is a healer

gameplay is car mechanic simulator but robots

Funny thing is whether or not you throw a wrench into the sequence of (repeating) events. Do you get shuttled up to the Bunker or sequestered away to that private room in the resistance camp? How do the resistance androids react vs YorHa units?

Do Fagam and Even-Flow get born earlier and gun straight for their new autopsy project or what?

Poop!

god i love her

Cute big sister

that webm of the meaty A2 pinning 9S against a tree

Everytime.

perfect for robo-fuckers

playing the Xbox and Playstation exclusive individually

I haven't heard about this, what's the difference?

Seeing more of the characters, getting more context for events in the plot + added characterization

still getting collaborations

At this point I'm finding it odd that Automata didn't get a remaster at this point. But it's probably the usual Square Enix habitually doing the opposite of what a game company should do, as usual.

It got a good Switch port, which probably sold better than any Remaster would have

Wouldn't that be a bit quick? Base game is still selling well to this day too.

holy shit

based but we need more
I unironically can't get enough of her

The alien AI are insanely huge human fangirls so they would worship you as well.

Yes but they also have old man voices, so that's going to be a weird thing to imagine.

This is what happens when you have good character design, everyone looks to collab. If Metroid and Final Fantasy VII was originally made in the modern era then you would bet Samus and Tifa would be everywhere too.

Yoko Taro will whore her out to any who wants it
and thats a good thing

I get it and am for it, but it should have been Nier god damn it, give replicant some love for once

finished ending A
that was cute

they would dissect you and study your body

the actual end of Nier is the already ended gacha

No it isn't retard.

Two!

2B is better than A2 in every conceivable way.

Love 2B. Love A2. Love Commander. Love 10H. Love Devola & Popola. Love Yorhas. Love Jackass. Simple as.

stay in your containment 2B threads
