    Not only did you play the first game, you played the important side quests and is clearly invested in the lore. As a fellow fan of Drakengard/Nier, much respect to you. I hope Yoko Taro and the team come back for a sequel, pref where Drakengard 3 left off to tie it with Automata's ending. ☺️

      these games are so special, the side quests add so much to the overall atmosphere and lore! i did some drakengard lore deepdiving so i would love to experience that world in one way or another some day

    Awesome edit, rare these days to see someone playing Automata after Replicant, I played NieR (Gestalt) when it first came out in 2011 so had the same feels when I played Automata. I am sure you will replay Automata at some point, there are a few hidden stories and places to uncover related to Emil that you will enjoy.

    1:01:52 you're not alone. I felt the same in this moment. It's oddly poignant to notice the difference between heartfelt words and how those words sound when you hear them. Dying over and over, the messages seem silly and frustrating, but then when it's your turn to make those words you mean them.

  • @GamersBlogX
    @GamersBlogX Рік тому +4

    High recommendation to read "Short Story Long" as it contains the novelization of the YoRHa stage play, which covers A2's backstory, and has a few other short stories.
    There's also the ongoing manga adaptation, "YoRHa: Pearl Harbor Descent Record" which also covers A2's backstory but in Manga format. I can't vouch for it though, not because its bad, but because I haven't read it. Probably a good version for those willing to wait between volumes.

  • @HattyVA
    @HattyVA 4 місяці тому

    I like watching reactions to NieR games because they really prove the point that the Automata credits were trying to make: you are not alone in the world. Seeing people react the same way I did to all these moments makes it hard for me not to cry because I'm reminded of how I felt when I first played these games. NieR Automata is a really special game to me because it's the first game that had me ugly crying no matter how many times I experienced it. Replicant is the same for me.
    Personal story: When I played through Route C of Replicant last year and finished Loyal Cerberus, I cried like crazy because my dog had to be put down a year prior and something about it reminded me of him. The cutscene with the wolf shade remembering its old owner before it died reminded me of my last moments with my dog at the vet. I had a hard time leaving him because of how much he meant to me. Route C hit the hardest because of the timing of when I played it and my recent experience with loss.
    Point is, reactions to the NieR series bring me comfort because I appreciate that I'm not alone in feeling strong emotions when I go through these games. Yoko Taro is absolutely incredible at what he does and I'm excited to see what his future projects have in store.

    This... this right here is why you play the prequel first. I was balling by eyes out the moment Kaine's song played. But my friend, who hadn't played Replicant, was just enjoying the scene when he got there because he didn't know. I feel sorry for him. For not being able to experience such an emotional scene.

    Since it isnt in this video, one thing I assume you missed: if you go back to the machine village after wiping Pascal's memory, he's sitting there in the village selling scrap parts of all his destroyed friends and basically goes "huh, I wonder why anyone would leave all these valuable components just sitting around?"

    Im glad you played the games in that order. I played the original Nier Gestalt (gestalt was xbox's release, replicant was playstations) The differences between Gestalt and Replicant were minor, but it brought a heavier impact for me. Too many people play this in the wrong order, or refuse to play replicant and honestly it hurts. The narrative/story in this game is way too precious. Also, there are quite a bit of secrets to explore if you are willing to go back and play again. One expands quite a bit more on Emil, more on Jackass, and hidden bosses. Thank you for all of the wonderful feelings throughout the playthrough!

    • @LilijaTheLancer
      @LilijaTheLancer  Рік тому

      thank you for watching! i have seen acquaintances of mine play automata and then replicant, and while it's not my preferred order i think they still had a really great experience.
      it can definitely sadden me when something i hold so dear doesn't get experienced by others, but at the end of the day we are all free to choose what media feels right for us ♥
      i don't think i'll be able to sink the time in to go and play again any time soon, so i've watched all the emil content online at this point. i'm curious to see what i can find on jackass, thanks for sharing!

    • @trevorveillette8415
      @trevorveillette8415 Рік тому +3

      I wouldnt consider playing replicant first an objectively correct play order since these games are meant to play on their own without relying on each other.
      I think it depends what you enjoy more for story structure.
      Playing a game, and then diving into the past to discover what happened to lead to the current game.
      Or playing a game, and learning what the events of that game lead to in the future.
      Personally I prefer uncovering the past after playing automata. There's more of a sense of wonder to be had I think.
      I played automata then replicant ver 1.22 and I really do think that playing automata first, then replicant, then automata again is the best possible experience for a player.
      If you're only ever going to touch these games once then yes it is probably best to play replicant first so you're less confused overall.
      But I think automata should be played first since it provides the strongest experience in all departments.
      A person is far more likely to enjoy automata than replicant given replicants outdated design, and worst of all its horrible pacing.
      So if anything I think automata is the best starter choice because it has the least problems between the 2 games, and is all around the best installment of the series so far.
      I know I wouldn't have had the patience to fully play replicant if I didn't play automata first. Automata helps to teach a player a little patience to uncover the best parts of the games. Something that people will surely need for replicant.
      Overall you can't go wrong with either play order since if just works both ways. But you can only experience these games for the first time once, and my preferred play order is the one I experienced, and so I have argued in favor of it.
      Either way, I want more people to play both of these games. They deserve it.

    i know its late, but in case you are still wondering. Pod 042 wanted to save all the main character from their demise so he launched the attack on the credits aka the developers. But later on he realized that the only way to save them is to deleted all the save files so the story never happened and they could not meet their fate.
    However there was a concert called "End of Data" took place after ending E. As you saw the pods carried parts to repair 2B and 9S, they survived and embarked on a new adventure.

    As someone who knew nothing of Nier, Drakenagard, or even Yoko Taro in general. I saw this game as nothing more than "the one with the super sick combat and the sexy robot woman with s-tier thighs," I was shocked and unprepared for how much I would cried, and how much this both fueled my deep existential dread and somehow made me at peace with it. It was a rollercoaster of an experience from beginning to end, all 27 endings included. Plato Best Bot
