Just finished C/D/E

Poor Pascal...
A2 crashing the tower in C is knowingly committing suicide to join her squad from the Pearl Harbor Drop right?

Also the history for dev/pop is pretty sad but the act of programming in the guilt is the type of fucked up you expect from a N/Dg game...

also the A2 section was waaaaay to short. By the time I got a basic feel of her fighting style the route was basically over

Where are you, and everyone else too, going for new fanfiction?

Go to the link below and get the rest of the backstory by reading items 3, 4, 7, and 9. The rest can be read at your leisure.

>committing suicide to join her squad from the Pearl Harbor Drop right?
Yup.

I'm still on AO3 and sometimes on tumblr, but that's it.

AOE3? When I look that up I just get links for forums about Age of Empires 3. Of course, searching for Nier Automata on tumblr just gets a bunch of porn, but that's to be expected I guess.

>AOE3? When I look that up I just get links for forums about Age of Empires 3.
Just look up: Archive of Our Own aka AO3.

Why the fuck did you make a new thread ? We are suppossed to be dead. Please let this one be the last

Oh, I see. Thanks! I've never heard of this before.

It's a nice fanfic site. A couple of anons here post their fanfics on AO3.

A2 is the best girl who got emotionally attached to her friends and the friendly machines

>needs an invite code
>queue is currently 8032 people long
welp, time to get in line I guess.

Yeah, I was really hoping that after ending C you'd be able to use chapter select to go back and replay earlier missions that had 2B or 9S with A2.

You're free to consider /ndg/ dead if you want to. Those who wish to stay, will stay.

there is no "we"
feel free to fuck off

Her fighting style and aesthetic is by far my favorite too. I love those reckless berzerker types tinged with bitterness. 9S fighting is kinda boring and 2B is a bit basic bitch in comparison.

Was it ever stated how A2 survived pearl harbor or why she turned? We know how Anemone survived but even she wasn't aware of A2

I guess after I replay the game I'll grab the DLC.

/ndg/ will live for at least 5 more threads.

This place shouldn't become katawa shoujo general #2 anyway..

C-cute!

We could've know more after her survival and between these 4 years of going full rogue. But Anemone's and A2's interaction and relationship is kinda unclear without more additional exclusive story for them.

go away s type..

Actually even if it's unclear how she survived, come to think of it, it's pretty clear how she turned against YorHa. She probably never knew for certain that her squad was sent to die but it was probably clear once she ran into a type E killsquad sent after her.

Was it ever explained why 8B and company defected?

I think that it's not entirely uncommon for YoRHa members to realize the truth of what's going on, considering that they still haven't completed the last phase of the project which deletes all information on the project's development, ensuring that there's no evidence of conspiracy for them to even look for.

Beautiful!!! Source ?

why Taro doesn't show his face?

...

Backstory wise it really feels that only 9S is fleshed out. The 2E thing comes out at the last minute, and the whole background of 2B's feelings on 9S wasn't explored at all, gotta read side stuff to learn about it. Having some condex entries after beating the game would've been nice.

...

You can see a shitload of instances of 2B suddenly showing affection for 9S that come out seemingly out of nowhere, 2E thing merely explains them.

Though side materials sure cranked their love story up to eleven.

that's Hideki Kamiya

That's a secret.

...

>2E thing comes out at the last minute
that's like the most important reveal of the story and it is being shown at the very end is a good thing.
Too bad it requires some thinking to fully understand and when A2 says this it feels very odd especially with 2 "unrelated " flashbacks(which only shows that 2B hated killing him even besides kill orders).

At least use your spoilers, user!

You just ruined it.

Tons of love bites.

I think what he means is that we only get any insight on the internal dialog or thought processes of 9S, who's much more outspoken than 2B. That's because 2B is really trying to clamp down on her emotions and thoughts, as we find out, but I can see how he would feel that 2B doesn't get as fleshed out as 9S just because we don't get that same self-exposition that we do when 9S gets chatty or angry.

that's a paid actor

I think the subtler context of the 2B/9S relationship is made a lot clearer on a second playthrough as the guy who just beat the game, which is why I had no problems deleting the save data. I hadn't spent too much time grinding either.

This time I'm gonna switch the sidequests too and do them with a different character. Are any of them character locked on route A/B?

Maybe try to kill father servo as 2B... Gave up first time

I don't meant to say the 2E reveal should've happened before, but the game lacks more material to expand on the 2B/9S relationship, could've been a part of it after you get endings.

Fujoshits are so fucking desperate?
Fucking hate them

Female 9S is cute.

The stream of Automata fanart is endless even 3 months after release.

yes but later you'll be able to do them via Chapter Select, allowing you to pick any part of the game you wanna play at the save/mail/teleport stations

Just finished it lads, gonna head back and do it all again.
Is the DLC worth it, or should I wait until it's cheaper?

>I think the subtler context of the 2B/9S relationship is made a lot clearer on a second playthrough as the guy who just beat the game
It definitely is, all of the context of why 2B tells 9S to stop being suspicious of the commander, why she tells him (and herself) emotions are prohibited, where those sudden outbursts of emotions come from, and even the frustration she has right after the prologue when 9S uploads her data first, is all there so the player can finally understand it.

I don't think so, it's just some throwback outfits, haircolor, and a colosseum. It's good if you want to throw the devs some more money and get some neat goodies though.

...

delete this

Ah, cheers friend.
I'll consider it, I do want to support Taro.

...

Sometimes there's just no way to translate a phrase in a way that's works well...

Yes, that's all correct. Both of the remaining youne comics (4S and friends and the amusement park one) plus the wedding one are on my backlog. That being said, my backlog keeps getting longer so something's bound to give.

The rain comic, I might not be able to finish, thanks to 801S's obnoxious wall of text at the bottom of one of the remaining pages. I have a transcription but the overall flow of the text isn't coming together into a sensible translation.

I do wanna throw the devs a bone. Is the artwork good? Any worry about availability?

I can spare the money for the ost and artbook but it's hard for me to justify luxury spending right now with my car deciding to shit out on me.

...

...

Guys does someone here have the full pic?

Okay so after The Tower chapter, and selecting 9s and going with adam, or, and after the ending credits boss fight, the pod is asking me if i would help someone in the world but i would lose my data.

Would I actually lose my data and all the progress i've made so far?

Nope. I've been looking for it.

>9s and going with adam

Yes.

Will saying no continue the rest of the game?

You can continue playing as if you had finished the game normally.

It's pretty much the end already.

Choosing to keep your data gives you the ending and gives you the ability to do the whole game again in new game plus, if you want.

In the top of the meat box in the forest can you kill the knight machines by the core? After the cutscene where the pod lasers the yellow core I tried to kill them for a couple minutes while they begged but didn't find anything that worked.

I'm a little confused, aren't there 2 more main endings?

If I say yes and lose my save what would happen?

At the cut scene I saw the pods coming together and i saw 2b and 9s, and a2 on a side of the building, what do i do to get back to that ?

Which endings does your save file have?

And that is ending E, the last route ending. F through Z are all gimmick endings.

I can't remember which endings I have, pretty sure I have all of them, and I just had the end of yorha ending

Das it mane

All you got left is finishing quests/collectibles/endings, and DLC arena.

and the only way to finish the quests is if I use chapter select?

if I use chapter select do I still keep the battle armors and camo goggles and all the weapons? do I still keep them if I begin the game again?

Yep.

We will asspull him back to you anyway, 2B.

You keep everything. And since enemy level doesn't scale except a couple instances it's pretty easy.

...

...

...

2B is a pedophile, 9S is much younger

...

There's like 2-3 years difference between them at most.

she has her tits well formed, while 9S looks like a 10 years old, I guess some girls develop fast

personalty-wise 9S seems more mature even despite his outgoing tendencies

You do understand that girls usually complete puberty by age ~15, faster than boys?

9S is literally the same as young brother Nier or maybe even a bit older and that guy was 16. Meanwhile 2B looks the same age as Kaine and she was what, 17?

Technically true, I suppose. 9S is three years old at the time of the game according to the timeline.

But 2B is 4 years old so...

>toobie weighs 150kg
Strangely hot

She's a big girl.

isnt this whole "mankind as gods" thing quite the gnostic hogwash?

If God made us in his image what does that say about God?

It is different from the other times, as command never sent out the order that time, but all the same, she did have to kill 9S again, prompting her response, "It always ends like this".

What do you mean? I don't think the game advances it as a tenable theological position, it's just how the androids see humanity as their creators.

not necessarily perfect copies but rather mere animals with some godly qualities?

Humans typically depict their Gods as just big humans in the sky. Humans create androids, they are Gods to the androids in a sense.

Androids do like to keep killi fish as pets, just wish translator friend would tell us what they're saying

Didn't brother Nier sell his body at one point?

They're robots, and they're modeled around the same age, 2B just seems older because her heels make her look taller. 2B has a bit of a baby-face herself

Yeah, he did.

I don't see 2B's birth date on the list
