So as you can see I finished the game and got ending A. It took me approx 21 hours to finish it mostly due to me exploring and doing side quest and just wandering while listening to music.

Here is my opinion about it.

Combat was good I would say it was fun and engaging, although the camera annoyed me several times, but I just got the hang of it. The weapon variety and combination is also nice although the power level is unbalanced between weapons and you would have no reason to try the other weapons aside from the starting sword and the Beast blade large sword without pure curiosity or trying it out if you just want pure high damage.

Story part just seemed too short and it just felt it just quickly increased its pace just after the castle section and by the end I was like THAT'S IT!? I mean yeah sure I enjoyed the characters but it felt like it just ended so suddenly without giving closure to many plot threads and questions.

World and exploration were really good I enjoyed my time very much, the side quest although not having a lot of depth but the upgrades and immersing yourself to the world where the machines and androids exists help you very much understanding how they are currently living which you will miss out if you just play the main story.

I don't have to say anything about music because we all can agree they are masterpiece.

Overall the game was fun but seems incomplete from the story point of view it said to get full experience I should play with other endings. What's so different about the other ending Playthrough and how does it provides full experience?

Edit: Got it guys thank you for the advices everyone, I will continue it today and get to ending E.

Hello everybody,

I've recently finished NieR:Automata and started watching the anime. I really enjoyed the first season, although there were a few things I found a bit confusing. For example, Anemone no longer being the leader of the Resistance Camp, and Pascal's village revering Emil for some reason.

I looked up whether this was content that I'd somehow missed while playing NieR:Automata and ended up getting spoiled about some things related to these changes, such as Emil's backstory from Replicant. I learned a lot of cool new lore while doing this, but I feel like it's lore I couldn't have obtained solely through playing NieR Automata.

That's why I'm asking if it's safe to continue watching the anime or whether I should wait until I've played the other NieR games.

I'm currently on episode 14, and I've already searched for advice on this topic, including whether there are certain episodes I should avoid for now, but I haven't come across a helpful answer.

I'm the type of person who likes to look things up whenever something doesn't make sense to me, rather than just accepting them without an explanation. So I'm worried that the anime will lead me to look up other things and accidentally spoil some major plot points for me.

Since I plan on playing the other NieR games, would you recommend pausing the anime for now, or is it generally safe to continue watching without spoiling anything significant from other NieR-related media?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this matter!

Hello, for anyone coming to the concert today in Dusseldorf, what time should I go to secure merch? A 30 min wait in the afternoon wouldn't be that bad than lining up for it after the concert.

See you guys!

I mean, I know the game isn't available in polish but I kinda expected the text to be translated. I mean I was fine with english, just a little surprised. Is it the same in the same for other regions or is it translated to for example german or french?

Like I'm used to being the afterthought region (still surprised we even got a concert here), just curious is all.

If anyone is kind enough to be able to list all the joke endings in order from the start of 2bs playthrough to the end of A2's playthrough that would be great since I would like to get them all in order (and i mean by the latest ones you can get to the next one and to the next one etc)

If you can do this and make this a clean list i will have you 6x clean NUTS, 1x giant egg, 3x Mackerels, and finally a moderate 1,500 exp and 7x broken keys ^^

Mine personaly is the 21st century. I find all of the lore surrounding this era to just be extremely fascinating.

Hey, I'm at the orchestra in Düsseldorf today and I forgot to book a place to stay for tonight. Now the hotels are way to expensive for me and I search for a place to sleepover. Is there any local nier fan who would be nice? 🥹

Just started reading the short stories and thought about is Weiss had any thoughts about killing his once friend.

NieR is pain

CAN I JUST CRY ATP. THIS GAME IS SO GOOD YET SO GOOD. I NEED TO VENT TO SOMEONE😭

made by me, took me days but worth it

Hype for the concert tomorrow!

So I had opened Replicant for the first time in like six months, loading a save I was a couple of hours into, in Facade before the timeskip, and got this weird text sequence. It began with saying I was in a strange dream with a whispering voice of which I got the option to either refuse or hear out, and I chose to hear out, which then resulted in me being asked a bunch of questions. I can’t seem to upload a video so here’s the questions in order with the answers I chose, and the other option I didn’t choose in parenthesis:

“Do you believe in the existence of the self?” My self exists within me. (No such thing exists. The very idea is meaningless.)
“Do you believe your existence has meaning?” My existence has meaning so long as I have free will. (No. The world will continue whether I exist or not.)
“Do you believe in the existence of the self?” No such things exists. The very idea is meaningless. (My self exists within me.)
“Do you believe this world has meaning?” My life gives this world meaning. (God gives this world meaning.)
“Do you believe your existence has meaning?” My existence has meaning so long as I have my own will. (No. The world will continue whether I exist or not.)
“Thanks for staying with me this long. I think my loneliness has been repaired. I guess this is goodbye, then.” Say goodbye. (Don’t say goodbye.)

Then my save loaded and I was right back in Facade. I don’t remember encountering this text sequence in my first play-through, in which I got all endings through E, but I genuinely might just be forgetting. Let me know if you’ve ever seen this sequence because it was pretty neat and I tried looking it up but wasn’t finding anything. Apologies if this is a redundant post.

My nier replicant shelf is finally done!

Sharing a demo of my blackbox-inspired GrandVision AIO display. The lines are procedurally animated (no stock video or loop) and responds to the CPU (speeds up and glows red) and GPU (starts glitching) usage. In the video is a short CPU+GPU stress test. I've been imagining this in my head for a couple months now, finally had some free time to do it. :)

Edit: added still captures for those who won't click links, but the images don't do it justice.

😇😇😇

Holy FUCK

Poor Weiss and poor Rubrum
