/ndg/ - NieR/Drakengard General #76

Is she high?

Where do I find it?

Rekka put a small summary of it on Reddit.

>I originally thought that the last novella in the Strategy Guide was a reprint of the one in the World Guide, but that was incorrect. It actually takes place some time after "The Memory Cage" when 2B is getting upset after having to kill 9S over and over again and she even decides to die herself rather than to keep killing him. The novella is, for the most part, from 9S's perspective, and it shows him figuring out how strange she's acting... Eventually, he removes her visor and sees that her eyes are red...she's infected with a Logic virus... he hacks her to take care of the virus, even though he knows that she's meant to kill him... and even after the virus is gone, she doesn't want to kill him... but if she doesn't, they won't be able to see each other again (?) so he stabs himself through with his own sword and tells her "Please just kill me next time." They know that this will not be the end, but they also know that there is no stopping this cycle of death and rebirth... and as long as they can still be together, in someway, they're both okay with that.

He'll sell mid tier materials near the factory, and he'll the top tier materials along side weapons and cosmetics whenever he spawns in front of the resistance camp

He's looking at Q45 in the strategy guide Q&A where it says that there is no group or organization that commands all the fighting forces.
But the way I see it,like you said, is that they have a Joint Chiefs of Staff.
All the branches and whatnot work together but none are ever higher rank than the other.
In that way there is no higher rank commanding the technically separate forces aside from the Council of Humanity of course.
After all in the timeline their combined forces are called the "Army of Humanity" and sometimes the "Android Army"

>war ended after the game

He hasn't spawned by the camp except for once, and he had chips. And this was when I was trying for an hour and 30 minutes.

I'm gonna update the archive with the new stuff tomorrow, was the picture book from the amazarashi single ever scanned? Otherwise I'll just upload the translation, scanning my copy would fuck it up

The picture book is in the strategy guide. So no need to worry.

Which ones are you looking for?

> they have a Joint Chiefs of Staff

This is what i like to call ''the command'' the ones who move the strings.

Theres the other ''command'' wich is just the moon server that works as a broadcast system and as the council of humanity as the same time, obviously that is fake.

oh that's good, I haven't gotten my copy of the strategy guide yet so I had no idea. Was that scanned already?
I'm gonna add weapon stories, the letters from the artbook, the picture book translation, the memory cage translation, and maybe the amazarashi music video but there isn't much of a point to that since it's included in the dlc now. Am I missing anything new?
I also remember someone on here translated the codes from the world guide, but I can't find those anymore

But shouldn't the original androids be aware of this? They saw the collapse of Gestalt first hand. I mean, yeah, i know almost all the androids have no idea about the conspiracy but i still want to believe that a really small group knows about the truth.

He did the same shit for me. I think it's a bug. Eventually I gave up and farmed the old fashioned way.

Im happy to know that Accord is just jumping from time line to time line giving zero fucks

Wasn't she doing that in DoD3 too?

>If you have any suggestions or links you think would be useful, then respond with it to the OP and help build up the archives.

I linked this to OP a long time ago but it's not in there, just updated it.
pastebin.com/niFbTsDF

Probably enough to update it again but I'm just so lazy.

The 14th Machine War ends and the 15th Machine War likely begins as soon as one side or the other musters the forces to launch another attack.

seeThe CE freecam link hasn't changed, the guy updated it.

You can not add hair sprays or DLC costumes after the DLC patch, without buying the DLC at least. Or maybe you can't add them at all I dunno I haven't bought the DLC. I don't think I will either it costs a lot!

And apparently we can do texture mods but I dunno how, model swaps will probably never happen due to rigging and what not, we've had a few people look into swapping characters in real-time and nothing came from that so it seems unlikely.

That pic is sic. I love the model of White.

The original androids were lied to as well. And, when people are desperate for a reason to keep existing, well, sometimes they will accept a lie rather than facing the truth. It's not like we haven't seen androids go nuts.

Others might know the truth but agree with the android Illuminati that having morale collapse among all the androids again would be bad.

>I haven't gotten my copy of the strategy guide yet
Me either. If I get it before you I'll scan it.
>Am I missing anything new?
None that I know of. Someone on Reddit is going to upload the concert tomorrow.
> translated the codes from the world guide
That might've been 3 threads ago.

I took a few pics similar to that one.

...

We also know that some OG androids who may have dissented could have been memory-wiped or otherwise taken care of. This happened to the Devola & Popola models.

...

thanks man, I'll look through past threads tomorrow, shame I couldn't save those right away.
I'm also going to make a small list of whatever untranslated stuff is left, I just noticed that the other world guide novella was also translated so I'm going to include that as well

concert stream when

reddit.com/r/nier/comments/694eu7/livestream_nierautomata_music_concert_5th_may_4pm/

That's already in the [PC Troubleshooting] link in the OP

I didn't think to item swap the hair sprays before I bought the DLC but I tried it afterwards and I lost all of my key items...

Yo don't really know anything about the DLC besides that its arena focused is it worth buying yah or nah?

Where would Zinnia death and everything that happen with the prototypes on satellite 6 fit in the timeline?

thanks man

I need /ndg/s comfiest picture of the trio STAT. The new reveals from the strategy guide and QA session gave me fuzzy feelings.

>the concert tomorrow.
Yikes, I mean Friday or Saturday.

I agree with you on this, tho as other user said, the Android Army seems to have a Joint Chief Staff. One of the logs in Automata is ultra classified and says that only units with SS permissions could see them. Maybe the leader/chief of every bunker/ army branch knows the truth, but only them, that would be a circle of 12 androids, hypothetically speaking outside of Zennia and his creations.

Theres also a high possibility that the ''android illuminati'' circle is formed by OG androids, and also as other user side, i wouldn't be a surprise if some OG androids silenced/ persecuted other OG androids.

Fack, at this point i don't even care what happened in the game anymore, the world outside of it is intriguing me far more, i didn't expect taro to go from fantasy to full sci-fi. Shit gud.

That's either the 11810 or 11837 satellite disasters, probably the latter.

...

Do androids need air to operate?

How about comfy everyone?

No, but they need water.

Please respond

I just want to know if there are any good story bits in there or if its all just fanservice and arena fights

We see 2B and 9S at the start of route C in space in the flight units watching the Bunker explode and they weren't wearing any kind of spacesuit or anything.

Maybe the same magic whateveritis that is shown immediately thereafter shielding the flight units during reentry also keeps androids from having problems in vacuum but there's nothing that actually shows that.

Nope, theres nothing more.

But arena fights are cool tho.

the story is the one from the amazarashi single and it's only a few minutes, the rest is just arena fights

Um... Do you guys have any cute pictures of A2? Just wondering... Aha

Guys, the maso would eventually dissapear from earth at some point? Or it will always stay there but is just hard to collect?

Squenix, why would you do this *after* I already ordered my copy from Japan?

store.na.square-enix.com/product/443763/nier-automata-original-soundtrack-cd

If you're interested in the life of machines then you'll find this DLC very cool.
I was very pleased learning those extra details about the machine lifeforms and their operations.

This reminded me of a line from the new Memory Cage translation that stuck out to me.
>9S practically says all of that in one breath, but once he's finished, he gets to his feet...

It implies they breathe so they can speak using artificial vocal cords. They don't talk with a loudspeaker or something.

I'm always willing for A2 posting

I've gotchu friendo
Just remember that as of 2017, she is not real, however this could change as robotics and A.I. becomes more complex, so don't lose hope!

It's what keeps me going

>Q38. Does the demonic element (maso) exist in this world as well? How is it used in battle?
>There’s not a lot of demonic element going around, but it does exist (for example, Emil’s attacks). Also, the YoRHa units’ skills utilize the demonic element.
It will stay, but in small quantities.

Was going to get the plat but the grind is ridiculous.

First I need to grind money for all the mats to upgrade the weapons, then get to level 80 minimum (currently 58) to get ending Y. Is there a quick way to do this?

fuck forgot my pic

...

Don't tell A2 she isn't real you big meanie

weren't the numbers in the hundred thousands of androids that just off themselves when humanity was gone. There might not be that many around that knew the lie.

Concert is tomorrow JP time?

Yup.

Report: Incoming transmission from YoRHa unit 9S:
"2B, good morning! I'm waiting for you in my room. Cum quickly."

You know, I wish the whole 2B killing 9S over and over was hinted at more in game.
As it is it isnt expanded much upon in game beyond A2 mentioning it outright and 2B hinting at it in endings A and B. Unless I missed some other hints at it though even so it isnt explored upon much.

3 am for ESTers

>They saw the collapse of Gestalt first hand.
Automata's Devola and Popola only find out that the project had failed once they launched an investigation themselves. News takes time to spread. It wouldn't surprise me if it were actively suppressed, or even that the D&V dismantling/memory wipe wasn't a YorHa-style coverup.

>Implying Accord is just fucking around and not a secret model sent from Automata's future to DoD's past to prevent the Queen Beast from being dropped on Shinjuku and thus preventing the extinction of humanity in the first place

Sweet Jebus, that's early. Hope somebody uploads a recording.

I know I'm staying up for it. My love for NieR music is greater than my love for sleep.

Use OBS to record it, please.

A2 was also a lesbian?

Buying this game a few weeks back on Steam on a whim despite the full price was the best decision ever. I am in love with this game and the more I play it, the more I feel invested. I just completed NG++ so the full storyline basically and now working towards the DLC content.

Yeah. A4 and her were "lovers".
>A2 continues to fight due to her oath with her comrades who fought with her during the descent operation, and especially her promise with number 4, who saved her life.

Finally beat Masamune in the forest arena, even a machine moveset needs skill to use, I love this game

What does it look like?

In the human term yeah, but androids don't seem to understand human sexuality, and most of their relationships seemed to be based upon compatibility personality wise, rather than physical attraction. In short, she can still be your waifu

I hope next game we control and advanced android guy that was made in base of the data collected from 9S and 2B. I love 2b and a2 but i also want a badass dude next game.

Also hopes from an even more badass flight unit

...

Thank you very much.

Some people hints things things about her and anemone, that could be true?

Androids probably don't need air to operate, but they do their best to imitate their human gods. It's implied that they speak using synthetic vocal chords, their internal body fluid isn't blood but it's colored like it, they have a "pulse", and they even share some of the same human structural vulnerabilities. 9S is "choked" to death, probably not due to asphyxiation, but due to cutting off the flow of that red goo to his synthetic brain.

Hell, in the Q&A it's stated that they can "upgrade" themselves with reproductive organs and can mimic pregnancy if they wanted to.

Hell Nightmare 9S

So I have no experience with the original Nier or Drakenguard, but I loved the fuck out of Automata, do you dudes think the original Nier is justified in trying out?

>tfw we will never get a story based DLC
God dammit. A few days after finishing Ending E, and how perfect it was, I want more. This game is the kind of game that comes once every 10 years if we're lucky.

>black dye is noticeably lighter with long hair
But why?

Query: Does it matter, you already finished the game. What do cosmetics add to your experience?

>175821825
What kind of question is that? Of course it matters. I want to kick ass and look good doing it. The whole point of endgame is to enjoy yourself.

I might as well be playing as a fat kid with acne if cosmetics doesn't add anything to the experience.

yes

It's a lot jankier and grindier than Automata, but the cast,story, and music is top tier. The only problem is that Automata pretty much spoils the major plot twist of Nier, but I think it's worth it for the character interactions alone.

Glad I decided to check last thread, thanks alot if you're still around.

You guys should add this to one of the pastebins too.

so in 4th story 9S questioned whether they made the right choice...

well, from memory thorn we now know what that choice was. They were trapped in the cycle together because they choose to do so. 2B could very well sudoku long before and god knows what 9S would do without her being his monitor(we actually know this as well - be nihilistic edgelord and most likely go insane at some point).

Wow, I feel like a faggot OP for not seeing that. I was even the one who told him to post the link again but I must have not seen his reply and he didn't respond to the OP either. Friendly reminder that
>If you have any suggestions or links you think would be useful, then respond with it to the OP and help build up the archives.

Thanks to both him and you for for bringing it up this thread.

Whoever makes next thread please add this.
