Episode CXXXVII: Post Game New Music: Significance v4 (Emi Evans) .jpg) Hey... we kinda finished NieR: Automata. Kinda... Unlike most Yoko Taro joints, there is a significant amount of post-game content. Especially since they added some DLC post-release. Today we’re just going to go over all the poo poo that was unlocked upon completing Ending C. There’s like over a half dozen prompts about unlocked junk after the ending completes. So we’re gonna back up and take a look at that for a bit... .jpg) .jpg) The most important addition is a robust Chapter Select option. If you were just a complete busta, you could right now reload the game to Chapter 17- Part 9 and select 9S at the final ending option. That would lead to Ending D and Ending E literally happens immediately after Endings C/D are seen. We’re obviously not doing that right now. That’s the end of the game/LP/everything. .jpg) The game is also nice enough to denote how many sidequests are available at any given point and who has to do ‘em. So if anything was missed it’s extremely easy to go back and complete it now. The Chapter Select is a little bit odd since a bunch of flags get reset using it. Like Emil needs to be activated as a merchant if any chapter is selected after the point we meet him in the main quest before he returns to actively becoming a shop in the field. Ditto with any incomplete sidequests from earlier in the game. They’re all reset to factory base. .jpg) .jpg) On top of Chapter Select, we’ve got a new arena mode that is a REALLY weird thing to have in a video game released in 2017. Hey remember how codes and debug consoles and such went out of style with the rise of lovely achievements/trophies? That sucked. NieR: Automata feels the same. Messing with any of this disables saving the game because you’d completely bork your file. But hey! .jpg) There’s now an unlocked arena in which we can dick around with a Debug Menu at will using all three characters. So that’s an interesting little thing. .jpg) The debug menu comes in two flavors: Debug Flags and Enemy Spawning. .jpg) Debug Flags have a lot of dummied out options that would probably straight up crash the game. But there’s some weird dumb poo poo we can still do here. .jpg) The available options are:
.jpg) .jpg)
.jpg)
.jpg)
.jpg) Debug Mode can also spawn enemies at will and we’re able to dictate their type, level and whatnot. .jpg) .jpg) So if we want to see say 2B taking on a Level 99 2B that’s possible. .jpg) Or, ya know, just blowing off a bunch of steam wrecking 20 spawned Level 1 Advanced Stubbies to go ape-poo poo on... .jpg) Or seeing how difficult it would be to beat a dozen Goliath Bipeds at once for a challenge. It’s all possible in the debug menu. I kind of wish this was an option Platinum had done with games besides this one... .jpg) Beyond the debug menu, we’ve also unlocked a whole mess of new costume options for all three of our androids since we can now time travel to back when 2B (or A2) were alive. .jpg) .jpg) Heavy Armor A is 2B’s Sexy Jin-Roh Panzer Corps outfit from the beginning of Route C. .jpg) .jpg) Heavy Armor B is the helmetless version of the same costume if you’re a sexually repressed American that is getting hung up on 2B wearing a skirt all the time. This is the outfit for you and your Twitter brand. .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) Camouflage Goggles give 2B and 9S their creepy robot doll eyes for all to see during normal gameplay. You do you... I’m not a fan. .jpg) .jpg) Finally, if you preferred long haired A2 from her brief cameos in Route A and B, that can be restored from a wig she’s borrowed from Raiden to return her halcyon days look. It clips through her model constantly and looks real bad. Like Dead or Alive 4 medusa hair bad. But hey... the option is there... .jpg) .jpg) Perhaps the most important post-game addition is this one. The Strange Resistance Woman has now transformed into a very important merchant in the post-game. .jpg)  The truth is, I’ve opened a little side business. Gotta be real hush-hush about it though. See, there are certain... accolades given to a select few who really give their all. You know what I’m getting at. They’re super tough to earn, which frustrates a lot of androids. So, with the help of some select volunteers, my company unlocks them. It’s a secret, but check it out if you like... <Request unlocking you-know-what.>.jpg) So this lady just loving sells all the achievements/trophies unlocks for NieR: Automata. 50,000 Gold for Bronze/Basic Achievements. 100,000 for Silver/Moderately difficult ones. 200,000 G for Gold/Hard to achieve junk. Yeah... Yoko Taro went completely the other way with thinking completionism is stupid bullshit and just gives you the option to skip it all at a really reasonable price! Like you can make enough money to get every achievement in maybe an hour of grinding. Tops. You’d have enough at this point if you never upgraded any weapons but your favorites. The best joke in the game is actually hidden in this shop. There’s an achievement for possessing 100,000 G at once. It costs 100,000 G to purchase.  .jpg) There is one final unlock given with Route C. It’s easy to miss this if you were to immediately go and do Ending D/E afterwards. But it’s a very important intel file. It’s the last correspondence we have with the best android in the game – Jackass. Behold! .jpg) Overview While the machine lifeform network was destroyed following the collapse of the Tower, a great deal of previously unknown information regarding machine lifeforms and aliens was recovered from the wreckage. As part of this analysis, we compiled research and conjecture regarding both the machine lifeform network and the lifeform Codename N2—commonly known as the Red Girls—that was thought to have been commanding them. - Machine lifeforms are weapons created by the aliens. The only command given for their behavior was to "defeat the enemy." However, it appears that their capacity for growth and evolution went too far, and they eventually turned on and killed their creators. - At this point, machine lifeforms recognized that the goal of "defeating the enemy" actually REQUIRED an enemy. In order to maintain this singular objective, they reached the contradictory conclusion that their current enemies—the androids— could not be annihilated completely, lest they no longer have an enemy to defeat. - In order to resolve this inherent contradiction, the machine lifeforms began to intentionally cause deficiencies in their network, diversifying the vectors of evolution for all machines. This is the cause behind some of the more "special" machine lifeforms, such as Pascal and the Forest King. - Meanwhile, the deficient network began repeating a process of self-repair while incorporating surrounding information, until it finally reached a fixed state as a new form of network. Traces of information regarding human memories from the quantum server of the old model were discovered, indicating that it had integrated them during the final stages of its growth process. Said server contained a record of the discarded "Project Gestalt," as well as information on the human who was the first successful example of the Gestalt process. - Having acquired information regarding humanity, the network's structure changed once more, becoming what might better be called a meta network (or a "concept", to borrow the words of the machines). This led directly to the formation of the ego we identify as N2. ...So then! To sum up: For hundreds of years, we've been fighting a network of machines with the ghost of humanity at its core. We've been living in a stupid loving world where we fight an endless war that we COULDN'T POSSIBLY LOSE, all for the sake of some Council of Humanity on the moon that doesn't even exist. I don't know what the point is to all this, but I swear I will kill every evolutionary dead-end machine lifeform, as well as every single rear end in a top hat behind Project YoRHa. I'm coming for all your heads. gently caress you. Information Analysis Officer, Jackass  What did you think I was loving about with Jackass being the best android early on? Naw, son... Someone in-universe looked at a Yoko Taro plot and went “man gently caress THAT NOISE!” I’m entirely disappointed the DLC isn’t Jackass – Bomber Revengeance. But it is what it is... See you next time for the actual DLC of NieR: Automata and more as we wrap up this game. Edit: In case you missed it, my son did a bunch of dumb fan art for this game: The Dark Id posted:My son has done some NieR: Automata doodles I've been meaning to upload somewhere.

Just straight-up letting you buy achievements is maybe the craziest thing I've ever seen in a video game, let alone a Yoko Taro game. Has anyone else ever done that before? Edit: Also the first time I beat Route C, I loaded up the first chapter from chapter select thinking something would be different or I'd get to play as another character or something. Nope! If TDI didn't make it clear, literally the only difference between Route C/D/E is that final boss fight. Chapter select exists purely for wrapping up any remaining side-quests or bonus content.

Earlier in the thread, somebody theorized that the true enemy would turn out to somehow still be humans, just like the first Nier. And in a way, they were right on the money. This fuckin' game. By the way, I do love how the game gives a massive middle finger to all things related to the concept of achievements. Easily one of the top ten worst aspects of the industry.

All joking aside, I'm curious where else Nier can go after this. My guess is the next game is going to jump ahead to a sort of Megaman Legends* future where the androids and remaining machine lifeforms eventually merge into one race that's also partly organic due to research into the databases on the moon, and then horrible poo poo happens where attempts to resurrect humanity end up creating monsters that turn out to be the Grotesqueries (aka cannibal space babies) which are then sent to Drakengard world's past the same way Maso particles were in Nier's backstory. *For those unfamiliar, the Reploids from the Megaman X series and humans wound up becoming the same species, which is why so many characters looked partly robotic and why nobody bats an eye at the kid with the arm cannon.

I was thankful for the achievement shop for a single reason. That stupid salvage 100 corpses one, since I didn't even figure out how to turn the option on until halfway through route C.

Partway through the game, a PS4 firmware update accidentally knocked out it’s ability to connect to my wifi and lasted through the rest of the game, and was unable to get any more corpses. so yeah, I was happy to get that achievement shop.
