EDIT: IT'S FINALLY HERE!! Hooooo boy, hope you all enjoy this one. This analysis will definitely take me a few months to complete, so I hope you're all ready for that good 'ol fashioned Yoko Taro content! Thanks for your patience, and go subscribe / support me on Patreon if you want to help me out a little more. :) Mistakes in this video: Eve's tattoo is on his left arm, Regular Androids can also catch the logic virus, not just YoRHa troops. (I'll correct this in Part 2 or whenever I tackle the stage play, sorry about that!)
awesome vid! one hint tho I remember you talked about the post ending E in the best friends podcast. Just real quick-> Spoilers: You said 9s/A2 never wake up but after reading some informations about it at least 9s very likely does. At least 2B reaches him in the black box and most likely wakes him up. Yoko was just beeing a dick and released false way darker scripts before the stageplay was really running. I just hope you are checking on that information again before it becomes part of the 3rd video or so. Cause your stuff is good and it would be bad if such an error would be in a video.
Fun fact about Pascal's voice, the reason why it's female is because he has his voice on a setting that would be soothing to children. Also it's because the game designer didn't want to work with Taro unless the voice actress Aoi Yuuki was in the game. Source: "Does the Designer Behind ‘Nier: Automata’ Believe in God?" on Waypoint
NieR capitalized the R YoRHa capitalized RH They’re just going to keep adding letters with each game until it spells RHOMBUS. Fans will then look for rhombuses throughout the series for potential significance, but secretly it’s totally meaningless and Yoko Taro just played the long con to mess with his fans.
I, for one, am looking forward to a potential 12-part series of NieR Automata analysis videos once our lord and savior Yoko Taro finishes his second stage play, movie adaptation, drama CD, Spanish telenovela, trading card game, and breakfast cereal line.
"Brother, why must I have these bizarre markings on my skin? I wasn't made this way." "This book speaks of a human named "Yoko Taro" who would do something like this just to confuse other humans." "That seems awfully strange." "Well, we won't understand it unless you keep the markings." "Ok. Can we play now?"
I absolutely love how the game sets up the aliens as a big deal and dangles them in front of the player all ominously and then just fucking throws them away because they don't even matter. Like that entire plot thread was established purely to mislead you.
There was a detail during 2B's ending that really gave away her relationship with 9S in a subtle way: "It always ends like this". As soon as she said that I knew it was foreshadowing something more than losing someone dear. Great video, I am looking forward to the next ones.
Oh stop it, you silly goose. Your Drakengard videos are quite decent. The "Nowe spilling water" bit is still my favorite joke on this channel, which I'll have you know is high praise.
Clemps, in this world of mine filled with sadness and toxicity, I just want to thank you for bringing me joy and warmth, even if only for half an hour.
I'm on my 8th viewing of your entire Drakengard and Nier analysis/deepdives and each time they are just as entertaining and informative as the first. You are an amazing content creator Clemps.
CAPITALIZATION BRAINFART: Replace the "R" in the middle of "YoRHa" with "N" because "NieR", and flip the "Ha" to arrange the letters neatly and BOOM! You get "YoNaH". Yup. Totaly explains everything.
This probably isn’t it, but I decided to look up the elements table. And this is what I got: Y = Yttrium, a silvery-metallic metal, considered a “rare earth metal” O = Oxygen Rh = Rhodium, a rare silvery-white, hard, corrosion resistant metal Ra = Radium, pure white metal that readily reacts with oxygen So based on this idea, even though they’re androids, there is a point where 9s get strangled (which doesn’t make sense if they don’t breathe) but it could maybe represent how they mimic humans?
Gave the video a like as soon as you pronounced Automata correctly. I literally jizzed myself. Edit: This video is so good. Clemps you deserve so many more subscribers for the effort you put into these.
To be fair, I found myself pronouncing it strangely after seeing several videos of Yoko Taro talking about the game. So that's likely part of the issue.
Errr I have never heard someone pronounce it any other way, although it may be that I got introduced Nier from a massive fan and then watched this channel for everything else, so just to be clear you would pronounce it oort-tom-a-ta' "oort" being the same as the oort cloud, "tom" being the name tom usually short for Tomas, "a" the phonetic way to say a and "ta" the slang for thanks usually used my small children because it is easier to say, at least in England.
The cult part of 2B's path worked so well. The way the music works into the crazy action, and the reflection of 2B's role in the whole picture of the game. It was what made me change from really liking this game to loving it.
One brief and half-baked thought I have regarding Accord: If in fact she does have or otherwise obtained timeline-jumping powers, then she and YoRHa have a potentially all powerful tool to fulfill the primary objective- to save mankind.
Theory: Accord is from the future of the Atomata timeline -- the resistance androids live on, eventually developing time travel and multiverse-traveling capabilities. Accord-model androids are developed, eventually becoming Time Cops.
Could the "Closed leaf" translation of YoRHa be similar to the concept of a flower bud before blooming. hence how the way the game ends in E being similar to the new form of life blooming into existence? .... FLOWERS!
23:05 Another thing I'd like to point about this Golaith boss fight. Yoko Taro is a BIG shmup fan, and that "fish" is a big reference to the *Darius series* , esp. the Mecha Fish boss fight. I'm pretty sure there are other shmup (and other niche genre) reference that many didn't pick up.
"Did a bit of digging trying to find what YoRHa stood for, and apparently it doesn't stand for anything." Considering spoilers... maybe that was the point? YoRHa standing for nothing.
Cause he's planing to make Made In Abyss his first anime analysis/review, he told us this on his podcast with Valkerie Aurora Edit. He also could scrap that idea so don't take what he said on his podcast as fact
Fantastic. Hearing yourself and Valkyrie Aurora talking so passionately about this series and Drakenguard has made me want to dive head first into Yoko Taros crazy works. I played NieR Gestalt several times and after hearing the Drakenguard series was somehow connected to NieR I bought Drakenguard 3 on release. Sadly I failed to see much of a connection. After watching your videos I'm able to understand this a little better and I will eventually get around to playing D1 and D2.
**WARNING: ROUTE C SPOILERS (+text wall)** About how the Red-Eye disease became the logic virus... I don't think it is a matter of the disease simply adapting to affect androids as the affected demographic is too specific for such an explanation (Only YoRHa units are affected by this!). I'd argue that it has to do with their black boxes and the machines' relevance to the Red-Eye disease. The core difference between YoRHa and other androids is their core AI (ahaha bad pun). All previous androids' AI came from what is called a fusion reactor, while YoRHa units' AI came from black boxes. As we learn near the end of Route C as 9S, the black boxes inside every YoRHa unit is made using machine cores, the central AI of every machine. We also know that the machines connected to the network at some point hold some connection to the Cult of the Watchers. Adam and Eve have their draconic armor, red eyes, and the Cult's tattoo on Eve specifically, while the machines sporting their signature glowing red eyes. Even the machines disconnected from the network in Pascal's village eventually show off the same red eyes when they go berserk during Route C of the game. Seeing this core connection (ahaha another pun) between YoRHa units and the machines, it is arguable that the logic virus that affects YoRHa originated from the machine network and was transmitted to YoRHa units through the machine cores that their black boxes are derived from. The only question left is how the machine network caught the Red-Eye disease in the first place, and I have no idea how to answer that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also thanks Clemps for this wonderful video that I excited myself over (Don't take this the wrong way pls :
Fighting the Simone machine on playthrough B broke me. Halfway through the fight she cried out "HELP, PLEASE, SOMBODY HELP ME!" plus all the backstory you get. I wont get to into it but damn, that fight hurt
Okay the analysis was amazing but dear god my heart wasn't ready for your music choice in the video lmao. The second First Layer from Made in Abyss started playing my heart sunk into the earth
Yayy it's here!! Unlike the rest of your analysis series I've already played the game but I can't wait to get more insights into this game I love from you :D I stumbled upon your content in the lead-up to nier automata and your awesome analysis of the previous games sparked genuine interest in the story of this universe that I didn't have before and certainly improved my experience of playing automata a hundredfold. So, thank you Clemps, for this great content you create. I'm sure they're incredibly hard work to produce but keep at it!!
Aw come on, I love the comedy in your older videos! God, you have grown so much, Clemps. I'm so proud of you. And to think I've watched your becoming for two years now! Automata really was a wet dream for Nier fans, but for some reason, it never really captured me the way the first Nier did. Such a shame. The last ending was absolutely stunning though. It reminded me a bit of Undertale, but was much more emotional to me. Beautiful. I wish I'd like this game more. Perhaps I'll have to dig through all the lore again (have not seen any of the stage play material) and play the game again to truly see the the mastery in it. You've intrigued me with the Kaine/A2 reference. I'm looking forward to the next video. I also gotta say that as much as I love how popular the game has become (and Yoko Taro really does deserve the fame), I'm unsure if I want more games in the series. It's like the FFVII remake. They gonna fuck it up at some point. Anyway, in the Japanese version, 2B doesn't talk about killing the God. If I recall correctly, it's more a "defeating" thing. Or possibly "disobeying".
Such a great quality analysis. You've only gotten better the more that you've done and it shows. Now I'm going to go back and marathon all your videos. This was worth the wait. I can only imagine what the future holds for you and your wonderful channel Mr. Clemps. Love you.
Clemps I have been on edge waiting for this analysis since the games announcement. And my man you did a phenomenal job the wait was completely worth thank you for working so hard and I can't wait to see you in part two!
HI! First, as a Taro loyalist since Drakengard (oh good old PS2 love & hate torture machine) having just finish[E]d NieR: Automata (yeah I'm late, I have a small budget, sigh) , I'm happy to finally be able to watch your videos on that game. didn't want too much spoilers before having experienced it by myself, y'know. And now I just paused the video around 4:40 just to say that I interpreted YoRHa as: "You aRe Human(ity)" or something like that. As, apart from Emil and some data on the Moon, Androids are pretty much the closest thing to actual humans, and their legacy.
Oh boooooooooy I was waiting for this! I’ll brainstorm more tomorrow when I rewatch, because of course I will you beautiful human being, but for now thank you for the video! Really lifted my spirits!
You should go after Danganronpa after this series is over, especially since its one of Yoko Taro's favorite franchises. After playing through all of them (And the canonical anime that ends the original saga of the series) its easy to see why.
Im so glad I played this game this week and then immediately found this channel, as it uploads a long awaited NIER AUTOMATA ANALYSIS! Your other videos are awesome, i hope part 2 comes in at least by 2019 ;)
"Square-enix wants to turn Nier in to a franchise" So they'll take control of the series away from Yoko Taro and his team again and we'll get the Nier version of Drakengard 2. R.I.P. Nier
Jumanji Joe, eh. That would likely happen since Taro expressed his unwillingness to make another sequel. Saying he would rather remake the Drakengard series than make another sequel.
Literally just finished E, cheeks still stained with tears. I said yes and left my message and rescue. Renewed faith in the industry and a thirst for nier. I come to this video unknowing of this channel in any way shape or form. And I see gaki gifs. I know I’m in a good place.
As always, your videos are godlike Clemps ! And to be honest I think this is your funniest video so far, you really peaked on the comedy side of things
I literally thought about this video earlier today, checked your uploads, said "eh maybe next week", and then received the notification Your timing, as always, is perfect
While I know that it wasn't the point or the focus of the video, I like the face that you have a bit of humor in your reviews and analysis videos. It's like a breath of fresh air, and I wanna say your witty humor is the best! Nier: Automata is one of the more somber games that I enjoy, and your insight is A1 in my opinion. (of course, I do know that google is a thing and we can look these things up for ourselves...it's just a lot more interesting when you do it). Keep up the amazing work, and never stop being you, Clemps. Because I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we love you as you are.
So glad to see this video finally up. I'm going back and playing nier right now, can't wait for part 2 and all your future stuff man, keep up the amazing work.
So funny, every review I see hates the flight parts, I'm like a preteen finally getting a chance at the Robotron machine at the arcade whenever they say we get the flight suits lol
Not sure if you caught this but during Jackass' Research missions she mentions "android battle fever is actually quite similar to the human emotion of love" this is just speculation but if androids can't differentiate between love and bloodlust it really makes 9S' story that much more fucked up. Great vid by the way looking forward to part 2!
I would say people also do not differentiate love and lust really well. How many negative aspects of love we can see through out human history? Jealousy, lust, hatred, obsession... People started wars because of love and die in name of it. Love is to complex feeling and has many faces even in our live. And it`s messed up in Automata as all other human emotions, because it is impossible to fully apply them to other beings, completely different from humans.
These videos are really helpful for me. I played the game two years ago, and with college and stuff I was never able to complete it. I finally got the chance and I forgot everything that happened. So thanks for this.
EDIT: IT'S FINALLY HERE!!
Hooooo boy, hope you all enjoy this one. This analysis will definitely take me a few months to complete, so I hope you're all ready for that good 'ol fashioned Yoko Taro content!
Thanks for your patience, and go subscribe / support me on Patreon if you want to help me out a little more. :)
Mistakes in this video:
Eve's tattoo is on his left arm,

BrentoLand I love Yuuki Aoi’s voice, she mostly voices male characters in other anime
4513 Samex ...Male characters? Isn't more like the other way round?
4513 Samex Her approach to Phos is key.
The game designer sounds like a fucking dick head
@@samex8275 Pssst.... She voiced a trap.
NieR capitalized the R
YoRHa capitalized RH
They’re just going to keep adding letters with each game until it spells RHOMBUS.
Fans will then look for rhombuses throughout the series for potential significance, but secretly it’s totally meaningless and Yoko Taro just played the long con to mess with his fans.
You know what, I can see that happening.
Well SINoALICE is a game directed by him and the o is the only lowercase letter soooooo
We also have NieR Reincarnation. With the In Bolded.
So if we collected the bolded letters we get Tomata In. We can only how this will progress.

"Its as if he gets off on delaying these videos even more."
This is really not outside the realm of possibility with Yoko Taro.
Yoko Taro: "That's a nice analysis you got there, Be a shame if someone released a new stage play and ruin it."
haha, true :)
Considering how much of a troll he is, I would not even be surprised if this was, indeed, the case.
It would be funny id Taro would make a game that would be one big troll at all the people that overanalyze his games.

CAPITALIZATION BRAINFART: Replace the "R" in the middle of "YoRHa" with "N" because "NieR", and flip the "Ha" to arrange the letters neatly and BOOM!
You get "YoNaH".
Yup. Totaly explains everything.
I actually thought about Rh, a blood grouping system, which would connect to the A C G T theory brought up in the Nier video
MIND = BLOWN
Let's try and move this to the top, this seems kinda interesting
I really hope this is true
This probably isn’t it, but I decided to look up the elements table. And this is what I got:
Y = Yttrium, a silvery-metallic metal, considered a “rare earth metal”
O = Oxygen
Rh = Rhodium, a rare silvery-white, hard, corrosion resistant metal
Ra = Radium, pure white metal that readily reacts with oxygen
So based on this idea, even though they’re androids, there is a point where 9s get strangled (which doesn’t make sense if they don’t breathe) but it could maybe represent how they mimic humans?

Right? Right?! It's just the plural of 'automaton' and yet the entire world has forgotten how words sound. Clemps is a good boy.
But then he went on to fuck up Anemone's name (at least I heard it super weird).
To be fair, I found myself pronouncing it strangely after seeing several videos of Yoko Taro talking about the game. So that's likely part of the issue.
"near a tomato"
Errr I have never heard someone pronounce it any other way, although it may be that I got introduced Nier from a massive fan and then watched this channel for everything else, so just to be clear you would pronounce it oort-tom-a-ta'

12:15 Literally everyone who heard "A Beautiful Song" for the first time
I couldn't hold back, I've been waiting for this for so long. And loving every piece of content along the way. TAKE MY MONEY DAMMIT
HI! First, as a Taro loyalist since Drakengard (oh good old PS2 love & hate torture machine) having just finish[E]d NieR: Automata (yeah I'm late, I have a small budget, sigh) , I'm happy to finally be able to watch your videos on that game. didn't want too much spoilers before having experienced it by myself, y'know.
And now I just paused the video around 4:40 just to say that I interpreted YoRHa as: "You aRe Human(ity)" or something like that. As, apart from Emil and some data on the Moon, Androids are pretty much the closest thing to actual humans, and their legacy.
Hell yeah! I randomly watched your old Neir/Drankengard videos last week. I'm ready!
The time has come and so have I!
Oh boooooooooy I was waiting for this! I’ll brainstorm more tomorrow when I rewatch, because of course I will you beautiful human being, but for now thank you for the video! Really lifted my spirits!
You should go after Danganronpa after this series is over, especially since its one of Yoko Taro's favorite franchises.
After playing through all of them (And the canonical anime that ends the original saga of the series) its easy to see why.
Having played the first two, that makes way too much sense.
Well i better go play then 😄
NieR: HoPearDis?!
Thank you so much for making the video! Been waiting for a very long time for this!!!!
The similarity of machine cores to plants hits completely differently after the new Ending E of Nier Replicant........fucking hell.
Im so glad I played this game this week and then immediately found this channel, as it uploads a long awaited NIER AUTOMATA ANALYSIS! Your other videos are awesome, i hope part 2 comes in at least by 2019 ;)
"Square-enix wants to turn Nier in to a franchise"
So they'll take control of the series away from Yoko Taro and his team again and we'll get the Nier version of Drakengard 2. R.I.P. Nier
Jumanji Joe, eh. That would likely happen since Taro expressed his unwillingness to make another sequel. Saying he would rather remake the Drakengard series than make another sequel.
Well, we got a gatcha and now the series is on (permanent?) hold. Dunno if this is the good or bad ending.
Made in Abyss music, a Runescape joke, and a deep penetration of Automata lore... This video is basically perfect.
Literally just finished E, cheeks still stained with tears. I said yes and left my message and rescue. Renewed faith in the industry and a thirst for nier. I come to this video unknowing of this channel in any way shape or form. And I see gaki gifs. I know I’m in a good place.
YEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE
You are a lovely human being. Thanks for the video! I am gonna binge the rest of it now.
Return of the Rubber Gloved King
Absolutely knocked it out of the park yet again. Looking forward to the next one!
9:33 this runescape joke had me in stitches xD
As always, your videos are godlike Clemps !
And to be honest I think this is your funniest video so far, you really peaked on the comedy side of things
12:00 favorite part in the video, perfectly sums up how much i love this OST in the game and wish more Composers took a page from Keiichi Okabe
I literally thought about this video earlier today,
checked your uploads,
said "eh maybe next week", and then received the notification
Your timing, as always, is perfect
"Die and become a god. Become as gods." Dying makes one a god. God is dead.
I see what you did there.
Thank you so much for the analysis! We will be waiting to the coming videos just like we were a year ago!
The game's called near tomata but I din see no tomaturs anywhere. I wasn't near a single one.
While I know that it wasn't the point or the focus of the video, I like the face that you have a bit of humor in your reviews and analysis videos. It's like a breath of fresh air, and I wanna say your witty humor is the best! Nier: Automata is one of the more somber games that I enjoy, and your insight is A1 in my opinion. (of course, I do know that google is a thing and we can look these things up for ourselves...it's just a lot more interesting when you do it). Keep up the amazing work, and never stop being you, Clemps. Because I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we love you as you are.
Conclusion: Fuck modern day journalism.
So glad to see this video finally up. I'm going back and playing nier right now, can't wait for part 2 and all your future stuff man, keep up the amazing work.
So funny, every review I see hates the flight parts, I'm like a preteen finally getting a chance at the Robotron machine at the arcade whenever they say we get the flight suits lol
Dude, amazing. I cannot wait for the other installments! Well done..so well done!
Not sure if you caught this but during Jackass' Research missions she mentions "android battle fever is actually quite similar to the human emotion of love" this is just speculation but if androids can't differentiate between love and bloodlust it really makes 9S' story that much more fucked up. Great vid by the way looking forward to part 2!
yes, that's one of the main points that makes the tower climb make sense.
I would say people also do not differentiate love and lust really well. How many negative aspects of love we can see through out human history? Jealousy, lust, hatred, obsession... People started wars because of love and die in name of it. Love is to complex feeling and has many faces even in our live. And it`s messed up in Automata as all other human emotions, because it is impossible to fully apply them to other beings, completely different from humans.
Omg yessssss the wait has been worth it 😍 you deserve way more subs than you have now... So happy to have seen you grow Clemps. 😊
20:57 I died at that machine bitch slapping 2B xD
Been waiting for this for so long! Thanks Clemons for always uploading great insightful content
very few analysis channels do comedy as well as you. Countless one-liners made me lol but one that sticks out in my mind is "the yiff pit"
Sweet, can't wait for next part, your videos are always enjoyable to watch.
I'm back after beating Nier Automata and crying my butt off
Oh shiiiii- I've been waiting for this for a good minute, but I'm glad it's here! Keep up the good work Clemps, you're a treasure!
Tfw im a degenerate who loved the sea boss fight.
Rex McCoolguy me too! Mainly for the boss theme
you already won my heart when inserting little "gaki no tsukai"-clips and proving an extraordinarily good taste!
Can u do a whole channel just about just dance so we can constantly see clemps dancing please
10/10
These videos are really helpful for me.
I played the game two years ago, and with college and stuff I was never able to complete it. I finally got the chance and I forgot everything that happened.
So thanks for this.
"The game is too short for my liking" -"games journalists"
Lets face it, they probably didnt even finish ending A
It actually did happen, some journo gave the game a 5 becasue the game was too short and _didn't had any closure_
the Guy never made it past ending A.
WOOOOOO hell yeah i been waiting for your video for months clemps!
“Oh hey ,Emil”
This legitimately made my day! Thank you! I am so happy I was introduced to your channel and the Nier series by proxy.
Clemps trying to make me fuckin nUT
Another fantastic video, Clemps. Love it, can't wait to see more
24:31
**Suddenly remembers the "McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds!" meme**
**Shudder**
Viredae What would A2 do?
She would buy coffee. Definitely.
Depending on how annoying 9S behaves she may or may not pour piping hot coffee over him.
2B: "We have food at home"
A2: "Buys a coffee and leaves"
9S: "Mcdonalds! Mcdonalds! Mcdonalds!"
I have now found a new fav UA-camr. Great videos man.
I am Here... Now
