Nier: Automata is an action RPG with a reputation for being a bit bizarre. This of course means it’s right up my alley! Join me as we explore this post apocalyptic world full of aggressive machine life as envisioned by Yoko Taro and Platinum games. It’s sure to be a wild ride.
As always, please refrain from sharing any story spoilers, including vague hints along the lines of “Wouldn’t it be wild if something happened to that character as they stand on that cliff?” or anything of that sort. If I have a question that needs answering I’ll ask. However, if there are any gameplay tips or suggestions you have, leave them in the comments. I’m always looking to increase my skill.
Enjoy!

In the unit data is says that the 2B models where replication created by machines
10:10 yeah Emil has the talent to blast his music in the most inappropriate of times xD
The library and music is key to NieR Replicant, when I first encountered that place in Automata it just had to stop, and cry, it is soo nice they put it into the game, so important to us lovers of the first game. The red fluid that Androids and Machines release is not organic, just looks like blood.
That fucking thumbnail lol
NO RED EYES. NO LOGIC VIRUS. 9S IS JUST GONE. Great reveal there.
The library is a direct callback to the original Nier. Who is Yonah? Big spoilers. Cause Yoko Taro is a cheeky guy.
As for the YoRHa Disposal, everything that happened so far, including 9S finding the backdoor, was all according to plan. Now get ready for one of the best final boss action sequences of all time.
Oh, that 9S! Looks like he got *disarmed*!
But I do think it's funny that he just ripped off the arm of that 2B copy and just stuck it on his stump… and it WORKS.
Also, his reaction to seeing the 2B clones was shocking my first time getting to that part. Poor guy just goes nuts. The relationship between 9S and 2B sure is a complex one.
Route C is basically the "9S loses literally everything and goes mad" route, and it's one of the best, yet saddest, parts of the game.
Hey Tom, I highly recommend defeating the very final boss (you'll know which it is when you face it) via using 5 consecutive hacks. It's a unique hack sequence that returns something very interesting if you do 5 in a row. Good luck!
Damn, had some notes that got erased when I rebooted my browser.
