>tfw Yoko Taro will never hold you down while stuffing his fat asian cock down your throat while wearing the Emil mask

feels bad, man.

Considering this we should all pitch in to compile a list of all known YoRHa androids. There are numbers 1-64 and letters:
A = Attacker
B = Battler
C = Canceler
D = Defender
E = Executioner
G = Gunner
H = Healer
O = Operator
S = Scanner

Keep a lookout for a full scan

World Guide was scanned last week

>Zooms in close to stuff already on the timeline
>barely glances at post game stuff

Rekka please.

From what I could tell, there were only 4 dates post game. 11946, 12422(Emil heads date), 12530? and 12543?

Will 2 be the conclusion of the story, or will there be a 3?

I mean 2 barely had anything to do with 1. Considering how Automata sold well and was critically acclaimed I have no doubt SE will ask Taro to do a third game. But I expect the third game to only be slightly related to the fist two.

Unless SE decides to remake the original instead. It would be cheaper, as a lot of the work is done already compared with making a game from scratch. Plus a Nier with better gameplay would be very well received critically, and it might even outsell Automata considering it's more tame in terms of fan service and the protagonist is a guy so it'll more easily appeal to normies. I think there are a lot of people who are now aware of the series but never got the opportunity to play the original and would jump on a remake.

Actually nevermind, that makes too much sense. We'll probably get a Drakengard 4 that will not have any involvement from Platinum and will instead be developed in-house by interns, and Taro will be forced to co-direct with Toriyama.

>Drakengard 4 will be about some annoying fuck and will actually be Drakengard 2 retold in a different way
>4 will be just one big joke game with Taro clapping at your stupidity during the game's credits before walking off screen with his 2B daki and a knife
>After the credits it reveals footage of Drakengard 5

Add it OP.

So despite being 350+ pounds of hot tits and ass, 2B's only usable orifice is her mouth?

Who cares, you can just fuck her ass cleavage.

Yeah, the internal onahole is a dlc.
9s dont need holes dude. He can hack 2b and give hwe ahegaos 24/7.

But I wanted anal.
REAL anal. Or at least some pussy. Sure, you can thigh fuck her, get some hot dogging going on, or even get a titjob, but they just don't beat the good stuff.

My pastes got over 3000 hits already lol

You know I figured she'd wade deep into the lore now she's got her copy and is active on Reddit / Gamefaqs / Nier2, but I haven't seen her post much at all.

>commander with glasses

She said that she is busy or something. But posting this video and then not even hinting anything(especially when people are going crazy over speculations) is rather strange.

So Pod042 is Zinia. He finally got a chance to break the cycle in E. Seems legit.

And 042 was assigned to 2B while Zinnia is pretty much a father figure for her prototoype.
Wonder if it's N9's work and he still kept some sort of affection to poor girl despite being utterly mad.

she's not real you fucking retard

I'm still surprised Commander wasn't a boss.
I really thought we'd fight her before leaving the bunker.

She's not a combat model at all.
And unlike 9S, they actually mean it.

No shit. But I can't look at any porn without my mind autistically reminding me that it's wrong because she actually doesn't have those holes at all.

It's just that her design gave me vergil feelings for a second there.
I guess I'm just overthinking it. really thought she would do something when the machine virus took over her though

Proof?

Bunker probably exploded before she got 100%

The commander wasn't YoRHa originally but a resistance member, so the virus might not affect her in the same way.

2B and 9S obviously had time to leave before she self-destructed and took the bunker with her, instead of immediately attacking them. On the other hand, the YoRHa troops on Earth turned hostile immediately when their eyes began glowing red:
youtu.be/2Cu-NkxcWWU?t=20m44s

>self-destructed and took the bunker with her
That's just my take, by the way. I'm not sure what's canon.

I kinda remember there being reactor overload alarms in the command room, as well as the YoRHa mission plan that the YoRHa bunker be destroyed.

I was under the impression that 2B and 9S shot it down. They transform into mecha mode when they depart, and you have the close up of screaming 2B with very subtle flashes of light before the re-entry scenes begin

They stop to look and it fucking explodes on them

CANON
No, you can't say it is not, at least this pic is something that could have happened

Still no news from Strategy Guide?

Pod 042 was also able to counter N2 during its encounter with A2, which required quite an unorthodox way of thinking befitting Zinnia's role of scientist and inventor.

It's also a name of a flower, which means he's probably originally from the same generation as Anemone which means he's at least 200 years old.

Is this canon too?

they just look at each other. Seems canon to me.

Not canon

Just give it a good context. Like, 9S is performing maintanance on 2B and she flirts a little with him, like in-game but this was early before she started that "emotion are prohibited" bullshit

Happy versions of ending E are canon and they are bound to get extremely close to each other in those so yes, it's canon.

>reactor overload alarms in the command room
...Oh yeah.

"The fusion reactor in this bunker is currently in an uncontrollable state. All YoRHa units must evacuate the bunker as soon as possible."

I think I was in panic mode and just wasn't paying attention to the evac alarm. To be fair, the message is only repeated once before the announcer succumbs to the virus >.>

Like this?

I like the way you are thinking.

>tfw you gave her E-Drug

I think user means like this.

> Concert spoiler unintentionally re-inforcing the good vibes of D-E
Was this Taros Goal

Oh yeah he will penetrate her alot after ending E if you know what I mean

As far as i was concerned D was already the only positive ending.
Always thought that "Meaningless Code" ain't called like this without a reason.

But maybe i'm biased because i went D-E and was crying like a bitch on VN segment of D already. Still can't listen Vague Hope even 2 months later.

maybe that plus trying to punish those who wait for him to tell them how the story ends, defeating his biggest message of taking their own future rather than waiting for it to be handed to them.

they wanted a future to be given to them by some god, so they got the worst possible one.

Anyone have the source for these strategy guide images?

They were posted on Twitter judging by the filenames. Don't hoard the goods, user.

Like 2B grabbing this ass? 2B lucky girl...

> All these people that went with 9S first ended up with the Concert Ending

Family members sharing a bed? Those poor siblings.

Oh but I dont see a problem with fucking your sister

>nipple
Not cano- Wait, *none* of this is canon!!!

They have nipples user.

It feels like people start to ignore weapon stories, vibration test, e-drug present and post-2b clones scene.

Like them calling their feelings "like family" (pod doubting it too) somehow not make em a perfect couple lol. The point was that hey both felt fucking alone without each other and in a moment of desperation it was the main feeling that drove them closer. And they both died thinking about each other to the point that 2B fucking shut down there.

...

>Number 9 obliterated entire base full of advanced tech and other prototype YoRHa models in like 15 minutes
Impressive.

Not so fast, user.

Canon... ;_; they need eachother so much

>yfw n2 has nipples

the machine network truly was the highest evolved being in automata world.

although if you want to speak about uselessness of nipples/ass, try belly button. now that thing is completely useless on not just androids, but also humans post birth, and yet still there on everyone.

that's why i'm guessing their barbie doll looks was there mainly to sanitize it for the viewers/rating boards, to not get an "adults only" rating, since that would ban the game from being sold in many places, which would hurt its sales a whole lot.

Nice I would like to have a bossfight with N9

>Virtuous Grief is about N2's twisted love for 9S and how she kills 2B in order to take 9S' body and heart
>Cruel Lament is about 9S' warpath against the machines to avenge 2B and being corrupted to the point he eventually forgets who he's been fighting for in the end, like in the narration at the end of D

>ywn be loved by 2B
BECOME AS GODS

A mirror hacker battle between 9S and N9 sounds crazy.
>they both jump through the communication lines around the entire world, deal a shitton of collateral damage from inside by frying the shit out of machinery that can't handle this degree of hacking
>then jump into space and unwillingly fuck up orbital station
>final segment takes place on a Moon inside the moon server
>some Pods come to aid N9 and lend him more hacking power but some side with 9S as well

>Virtuous Contract is about 2B's despair and desire to protect what she loves
>Cruel Oath is about 9S becoming a source of all her misfortune by being the "traitor" who created the fake God to begin with
>Virtuous Treaty is about 9S's attempts to get close to 2B but failing because she dies
>Cruel Blood Oath is about 2B's hidden affection to him and her motivation for hiding it
>spears are a collections of short stories ending with papa and brother Nier
Pottery.

automata was a love triangle from the beginning. ending d leave is the best possible ending.

one version of 9s, the one who mostly forgot about 2b leaves with n2 and the boy band. another 9s, a copy from his memories is restored on the ground next to 2b, where he either remembers her, or gets to know her again like after every death.

and then they all live happily ever after, until shit happens. or doesn't.

Nier 1:
>everyone loves Nier
Automata:
>everyone loves 9S

>N2 first reveals herself to 9S in the Tower sequence where she promises to reward him if he destroys all the machines she sends at him
>BGM is an instrumental version of A Beautiful Song
>Simone's whole depicted tragedy is her unrequited love for Sartre
>HE WOULDN'T LOOK MY WAY

>When I was close, I hurt him. Yet being distant hurt him more.
Pretending it's from 2B's perspective (I don't think so but I'll humor you):

When she was close, 2E killed him. OK. But how does being distant hurt him, and more importantly, how does 2B know it hurts him when the previous line says his feelings were a mystery to her?:
>But even when by his side, his feelings were a mystery.

Maybe she is not talking about his feelings for her, but in general. She actually knows what he feels about her

wut

That makes even less sense!

I want him to rape me so hard

9S was a little different during each incarnations. Some clearly loved her and it hurt him when she backstabbed him, some tried to even kill her and almost succeeded.

Until I cant move anymore

I don't see memory cage that way after reading 1st story. He didn't hurt her in any way there and even left a goodbye message to her, may be during hacking.

Nicht
Canon

The weapon stories are wishy-washy too, it's pointless reading too much into them.

>and even left a goodbye message
This is exactly what hurts her so much.
>2B (VO, a bit annoyed): But, killing 9S repeatedly and endlessly, it’s building up inside me like dirty blood. I can’t wipe it clean no matter how hard I try. It attacks me with 9S’ words.

And then cuddle with him all night while he whispers in my ear "everything will be okay"

>tfw we got the best version of 9S in the game, commander noticed it, pod 042 aka Zinia too and ultimately saved them.

I want everyone to suffer.

Number 9 did everything wrong

9S best 9

Pretty much.
2B said to A2 that she wanted 9S to become a good person and ultimately he succeeded, even if he needed a last stab of 2B's sword to complete his transformation and drop his nihilistic attitude that fucked up world once already.

Wishy-wooshy? Not read into them? Are you autistic?

May be Virtuous Treaty is also vague? When 2B was fucking wielding it and the game even asks you to recover it after prolog? What a denial.

His plan was ruthless, inhuman, but completely logical and probably extremely effective in long run.
N2 fucked it up by showing it can evolve though.

It could be those anime nipples with no color on them.

2B saved the best 9S.

I think that after all of this new information D-E just got better. It is fucking beautiful.

Not canon

The whole deal with N9 fucking up entire satellite base with all its personnel then deciding to play in a God reminded me about the intro of Xenogears.
>you shall be as gods

...

Why doesn't 9S hack himself back in time?

>May be Virtuous Treaty is also vague?
Oh, you mean:
>First encounter with my lover

Canon reality check, user:
pastebin.com/RNLY2nFc
>yfw "too much of a stretch to call 2B & 9S "lovers""

I'll scan mine next week

>Nier:Gestalt ... more tame in terms of fan service
>Kainé

Does not compute.

Of course it's canon. 9S is doing routine maintenance, obviously.

Are you MalakTawus from Gamefaqs? You type autistically just like him and your opinions are similar (and similarly garbage).

>One scantily clad woman

>An entire spacestation of slightly less scantily clad women.

gamefags ? in (2004+13)=(current year+2) ? could it be ? Hey, an assassin from the Church of Man came by last week. He was looking to whack some artist, a writer or something. Don’t ask me what a writer would be doing on a mining base, though. Those Retros give me the creeps. I hear they hate all technology… just the kind of wackos you want to run into on a space station, eh?

Bless you user

oh ffs it is a translation of a translation.

This weapon story is not about in-game 9S as it was wielded by 2B before the game even began.

Sure, you can't talk about This 9S and 2B as fully fledged lovers.
They don't have enough time as 2B fucking dies.


what are you trying to achieve by calling names from an irrelevant shithole called gamefaqs?

So why was S9 getting treated like a retarded baby in part C?
