Don't tell me I have to beat this bull**** bullet hell mini-game to see Ending E

The part after Square Enix appears in the credit always seems to overwhelm me.

The **** man?

Yeah. Internet is slow as molasses in my country so a 3.5gb update file (which the network connection requires) is gonna be taking 5 hours. I'm gonna try for about an hour and if not I'll just download the update file and watch the ending tomorrow. I'm half tempted to just watch it on youtube but my file is close to 100% everything as it is already.

I thought I was good at the hacking mini-game until this. >_>

Well what do you know. A happy ending. Quite the opposite from the original. And this one doesn't delete your save data. So yay!

Congrats, I'm terrible at bullet hells so I desperately needed the online assistance.

But how can you not include the pods in your character ranking??

Umm what kind of ending did you get? Because I had exactly the opposite (although I guess happy is subjective)

The pods retrieve 2B, 9S and A2's memory. What's not so happy about that.

*Original NieR Massive spoiler alert
Compare that to lets say getting erased so that your daughter and friends don't even have a shred of memory left of you.

I don't think he got the backup.

Still pathetic.

What.

But without the backup the ending loses almost all of its emotional impact.

It would be like you didn't even GET Ending E.

The pods are just setting up the whole game again from the beginning, hoping that something might be different, even though we know it will just repeat the same pointless cycle again and again. Pretty sad

If you don't have an internet connection, the backup doesn't come. It happened to one of my friends who said he was stuck on it for over an hour, which shouldn't have been possible.

So yeah it destroys the entire point if you don't have PSN

It's possible.

Incredibly stupid, but possible.

I do have PSN but like I said my country's internet sucks. To activate Network Connection, the latest update file for NieR: Automata, which I believe is 1.04, needs to be downloaded. The file size for the download is 3.5gb and that takes roughly 5 hours with my internet speed so I thought I'll try for a couple of hours and I ended up succeeding. It was a royal waste of time though. That I admit.

Yes. Emil lasted a grand total of about 5-10 seconds against my Lv.99 character with optimum plug-in chips.

I'll make time and play it again tomorrow after downloading the update file and see what difference there is.

The same people appear a bunch of times. They don't actually disappear when they get killed in your credits.

Not really, since they don't undo anything that happens other than the deaths of the three mains. All the Operators and such are still dead. Plus, the most advanced machines left the planet, which is guaranteed to change things.

Hi welcome to any Yoko Taro game ever (I assume even the weird smartphone game that came out yesterday or whatever will be brutal as fuck), you can pick up a replacement gut at the door once it has been sufficiently punched.

Yeah I am familiar with Yoko Taro's Violent Feels Train but man the stories just love to end on a "NO FUCK YOU SUDDEN BAD END OUT OF NOWHERE!"

also it seems like the Songbird just had enough of everyone's shit from the Phoenix Weapons stories


Was worth going through the trouble of maxing them all out though, especially the other spoilery reward of Ultra Emil Boss...man that was sad

I can't believe they referenced that fight in the intro trailer

I'm pretty sure the implication is they will rebuild the space station and everything again

Pod states that it could go either way. They're still the same personalities they were, but the variables have changed from before and some of the 'rules' chaining them down have been effectively nuked. Maybe they'll start it all over again. Maybe they won't. Interviews with Yoko Taro reinforce this - he refuses to answer what happens after the credits roll and wants people to come to their own conclusions. It's whatever ending you want/think it to be.

Yeah I guess I take the cynical interpretation. But he has also stated that humanity cannot possibly have a good ending when we continue to repeat the same history and mistakes over and over . The ending has to be a commentary on that, especially since the pods are meant to represent the player and humanity in general.

They're not human, though. *folds arms*

Of course, like red dress machine hivemind thingies, they will probably end up becoming 'human', and, uh, pick fights with themselves.

IIRC, one of the stage plays suggests that the androids and machines sign a peace treaty a while after Ending E.
