You didn't even stay to listen to that song for a bit. That's really rude.

Also, don't search for that song! The comments and related videos are lousy with spoilers. Like seriously! Never search for something from this game.

Have a polsy link instead:

It's really wistful and gloomy compared to the previous music. But it doesn't exactly sound sad. It's a quite great theme for a great character.

I too immediately had visions of NieR bathing like Geralt.

Maybe if he takes his clothes off, Kainé could borrow them?

Ahhh thank you! I had actually forgotten to look for this after the session but I'm glad I didn't if the comments have so many spoilers in it! Now I can enjoy this as much as I enjoy making fun of Kainé's outfit!

(I'm joking, Kainé is rapidly becoming one of my favourite characters in this game which will surprise literally nobody who knows anything about me)

He has played it a lot. Maybe he used to love the Aerie, but over time picked up their opinions as his own.

I like how, when the game asked you, all of you decided to see your daughter, but then you ignored her and only did Popola's stuff anyway.
Seriously, you didn't even drop by there.

Must have missed it then. Weird. I thought they went to the town, talked to Devola, she directed them to a small sidequest with for her sister and once they were there, Popola gave them the new mission.

It was an incredibly short visit, but Yonah's the reason we went to Seafront in the first place. Dad saw that Yonah wasn't feeling great, which is why he went to Popola for medicine and she told him to get some Shaman Fish.

We're gonna do a stream sometime within the hour at https://twitch.tv/chaosargate. We are ahead of the uploaded videos by a bit, so be aware. We're about to go to the mansion, I believe, so people coming in know about where we're at.

It's okay if you have any questions.


Isn't there a version that has a decision node specifically for that one sidequest?

When I first heard the "Automata" part of Nier: Automata's name I admit to a certain feeling of dread as I recalled memories of the junk heap.

I just about died when you finally noticed Dark Hand after the entire dungeon. It's really good for clearing out hordes of robots.

I'm pretty sure that Dark Hand is the mightiest spell you have right now too.

With only a couple of exceptions, Dark Hand/Dark Lance were the permanent spells I used for the entire game. They are by far the best, and especially against those robots.

Double update today because episode 11 is really short and I couldn't figure out a good split point for episode 10.

I'm, uh, really bad at remembering what spells I do and don't have! Part of that might be from how I pretty much just went through Automata with the Dark Blast equivalent and didn't actually bother looking into other options, but yeah expect more of that for at least the next two sessions.

While Kaine's outfit is clearly a case of working backward from "We want a woman to fight in lingerie" it is also a case of putting so much effort into justifying it and playing against type that it wraps around to being fine.
