First for 6O best girl.

Argue about best girl all you want, but there is only one indisputable best couple.

CUTEST!
LEWDEST!

>written by the same person who wrote this
HOW?

A2.. des

...destined for second place.

no idea how to shorten this url
new art is still being posted

des like desu mongos

Sad, but true only because the 2B meme

...

Wrong

shitposters

Yes. 21O/9S :^)

Where the black boxes are even located?
I thought they have them instead of hearts but it seems they have hearbeat so it's wrong.

A2x4Sjk its Boar

I'm starting to genuinely want this now.

I have finally figured out where the original Emil is.

It's Yoko Taro.

He has crossed over to our world, and has been using his eternity of suffering as reference material to write suffering stories.

Wrong

because A2 is infact 0 place

I'm glad he found people who care about him at Platinum.

I like the semi-hidden importance of the story about machine and the flower. He actually desires to learn and understand how to protect the flower better which is a stark contrast to what 9S saw in machine network records.

I'm on your side, my dude. A2 is objectively best but 2B has the popularity vote.

they do act as infinite batteries and contains their "soul" so they are indeed "hearts". It's just that they can temporarily eject them for an explosive reaction.

What story about the machines and the flower?

docs.google.com/document/d/1u5LYYJZ4FJQflQCH9RyOW03FrNUvEkTys4YGOT1ulYs

2B is only popular with normalfags and ironic weebs who haven't played or finished the game. Everyone I know who has finished puts 9S, A2, or the Pods as their favorite characters.

I like all the characters equally except Pascal

2B is a choice of someone who actually read all side materials and understands how much she has suffered for years prior to the events of the game.
She deserves all happiness with 9S she can possibly get.
A2 is just a waifubait, you can remove her from a story and nothing will change.

I can't disagree with that

Why do you not like Pascal?

Of course, 2B is the game's mascot and wins popularity vote easily.

Though anyone who is invested in the story will tell you that you can't really separate 9S and 2B when talking about favorite characters.
A2, on the other hand, is a perfect waifubait(as said), a very strong and attractive supporting character who a lot of people can relate to.

we must agree that 6O is the best girl though

...

So I'm a little confused when it comes to plug in chips and fusions

>So, there's Type A, B and C
Is that so I can switch out them, ie have an attack one, a defence one and a balanced one?

Why are there three, I don't get it

There's manual or auto, obviously manual is the way to go. So correct me if I'm wrong here.

>Manual plug in chips
There's a limited amount of ''cpu'' space which is represented by the free orange area; under the Red areas which is for HUD stuff, health gauge, UI things

I'm supposed to most effectively use the area available and use more than one plug in chip

>Fusion
So if I'm using two kinds of the same chip, I can fuse them and they end up taking less space overall in the CPU? Which in the end gives me more space for different memory chips

This game doesn't really explain it very well

>youtube

...

A: Utility setup with auto-collect, movement speed up, drop rate up, etc.

B: Combat setup

C: No HUD for screenshots but otherwise useless

Here's a fusing guide here but basically you want to fuse your diamond chips because they have the lowest storage
reddit.com/r/nier/comments/607w3o/chip_fusing_chart_guide_whats_worth_keeping/

Also here's a spreadsheet of all chip values and costs. It's worth noting that not all chips should be fused above a certain level because they become less efficient. For example, Drop Rate Up is most efficient at +3.
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sHZaaGlnmZyBouBMXMyx7WPhs4B6CwsOwRAINOd1W3Y

I have no idea what you mean by manual and auto.
Use A B and C however you want. I have A as general purpose and B for when I feel like using berserk mode. I don't use C
As for fusions, I'll give an example.
Attack up+2 can fuse with attack up+2 to make attack up+3.
It can't fuse with anything else, no even attack up+1.

Shutdown of the black box signal belonging to YoRHa unit 9S confirmed.

Stop.

Black box signal of 9S

Confirm stop


Denial

Guys I'm in love

Something about 2B's body being manuverable and vibrating

Something else about 9S's black box.

I wanted to hear it all the time
The sound of the beginning of your heartbeat

042:Was good
2B:It was good

Google had a really hard time with this page

...

kek

Is it just me or is the DLC designed very poorly?

Like for example, getting the 2B cosmetics, hair and costume, you can't really get them until you are ALREADY DONE with route A.

So like, by the time you get them, you're done with the character altogether already, wtf?

entire dlc feels like a mockery of arena DLCs in their entirety
the only valuable thing about it is Plato 1728

This I s brilliant. She is a true yokotaro fan.

Not canon

>cannon

keke gets me every time.

Anyone have that Drakengard/NieR timeline pic?

Tho this timeline is kinda wrong in some places.

I agree with this person, even if I know I just live in complete denial.

thanks m7y

Why do people watch her?

No idea.
Her lore summary is fucking terrible. Even Bunnyhop managed to relay Nier's core themes better.
Now she straight denies side materials most likely because they don't fit her picture of a cute little cinnamon roll 9S.

>Now she straight denies side materials most likely because they don't fit her picture of a cute little cinnamon roll 9S.
Now I start to like her even more. Too bad I can not stand YouTube-analists.

Dunno, she puts out a lot of lore videos I guess?

Personally I enjoyed Lana Rain more, she seemed to be a lot more accurate and learned a good bit from her.

she looks pretty and has a somewhat good voice. Enough for youtube kids to worship her.

>Her lore summary is fucking terrible.
agreed. And it has huge views.

It is atrocious how she literally said nothing about 2B and 9S situation while showing a lot of those moments in the background.
Basically, she describes her new husbando how she wanted him to be and denies everything else.
though 9S is more
>cute little cinnamon roll
in supplementals rather than in game desu.

>I enjoyed Lana Rain more
>tfw camgirl is objectively better

>It is atrocious how she literally said nothing about 2B and 9S situation while showing a lot of those moments in the background.
It's probably the same as fujo meltdown after the previous Tokyo Ghoul chapter.
Female Hanae fans are shit outta luck on regular basis.

tokyo ghoul is shit though. Read better manga normalfag

Why 2B not real

Some of these fish are so rare it's almost maddening.

I've spent most of the day fishing, caught some like 500 fish and made hundreds of thousands of G.

And I'm still not done.

Because perfection isn't possible in reality.

She will be in 11945
Best we can hope for in our lives is 2B in VR

why u car onli about 2b >:

Because we don't deserve her.

I tried 2B in VR.
The resolution sucked and I got motion sickness.

Because she's a shit

9S won't let her be real for anyone else.

What is this A2 skyrim thingy that some user mentioned in the previous threads

you can lewd her in there?

...

What is the concert shit everyone is talking about and how does it radically change certain characters?

there is even more side content than a concert, everything is here reddit.com/r/nier/wiki/lore#wiki_just_finished_ending_e.3F

God fucking damnit not again. Everyone circlejerks it but I've always despised the superfluous content ending up being important canon with Taro games.
Thanks, I'll get to reading.

If it makes you feel any better they are very short so doesn't take long to go through it all.

It's a meme

Retards say it's a small part dlc so stories like pearl habor ""won't get actual dlc in the game""

Yeah right

...

I think that might be rip territory senpai

Glory to mankind

GLORY TO MANKIND

...

We really deserve all glory if we managed to produce such marvelous females.

go away you stupid freak

Fuck mankind

You traitor..

...

You sound mad.

Fucking degenerate freak

What's the matter? Did someone bully you on the internet?

...

Why are you so mad? Did he took your girlfr-
oh wait

Thank you, I was looking for this last week but I couldn't find it

...

Kek.

So are there other games/franchises that hit the same spot as Taro's work? I've been told I should try the Zero Escape games.

He's fairly unique.
Thus said, if you want feels coupled with godly OST, play in Transistor.

Why most of the cute fanart make 2B look like a dummy?

seconding this. I loved it so much I bought a figurine and I'm not into this memorabilia stuff

I think it's rather subjective. For me, the only other JRPG which ever made me care this much about pixel people's pixel feelings was Chrono Trigger and Undertale. Maybe I'm very picky, but for me, most games fail to create characters which I care about.

Because she's a dummy.
She was only created for combat and will probably be completely clueless about peaceful life, leading to a lot of cute moments.

Because she's a cute dummy.
