Did you kill the super happy fun tank in the amusement park?

i'm just curious who killed it and who let it continue to spread joy and love?

On my first play through i let it be since it wasn't bothering me and i didn't want to spend the time dealing with it.

On this new play through, I decided to kill it. I only did that because I wanted to get as much XP as possible as my first place through. I was severely under level by the time I got to route C and I wasn't doing any damage at all. I I killed it on Abut I left it alone on route B. I know it drops a machine core. But I've noticed I'm getting more of those on my route B run through on this new play through and I don't really need the cash that badly.

I will be making a visual novel inspired by This is Not Nier Reincarnation

Hey guys former Nier reincarnation player here, when the game ended service earlier this year I was incredibly sad and overcome with a deep emptiness but then I felt a wave of inspiration and wanted to make something to commemorate.

That's why I will be making my own game INSPIRED by the great story which will definitely NOT have the same story and NOT the same characters, any similarities will be pure coincidence by the deep influence yoko taro-chan had on me he is my oshi!!

I do not have any background in coding, I'm not sure how long it will take but I will be aiming to finish it late 2025, that being said I will probably release the first version as soon as I'm done with the first part of the main story.

And this is pretty much all...I'm a student so I do have other obligations as well, but when I work on it I will try to stream it!

You can watch me code it here for research purposes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER2flh4YSqs

This is the github link https://github.com/LunarTearFields/Reincarnation-of-the-Caged

PS: Is this good enough for you now square enix?

I know you got chills, too.

You guys remember the quest to help that Red-haired android that turned out to be a Type E? Remember the song that started to play when she gave the revelation? I am certain that you got chills from that interaction, I can't be the only one.

Also, if you wanna hear the song (because it's... I mean, it's fucking masterpiece of a choral arrangement) and don't somehow know its name already, it's called "Mourning" and you can obviously find it in the OST albums across the internet.

How do you think Androids and YoRHa would react to humans in the year 2024?

After seeing a few threads about how the Androids would react if they found a human, I got a doubt.

Suppose that due to some experiment or cosmic anomaly the Androids and most of their infrastructure move to a mirror earth of ours in the middle of 2024.

How do you think they would react to having so many humans in front of them?

I mean, in most threads it's just one human or a small group of them, something manageable.

But what if there were billions of them divided into multiple nations?

It would be interesting, I mean, they are supposed to stick to protecting humans or humanity in general terms and now they can do it.

Only there are no external enemies as such threatening humanity, and the only ones who are with humans would be humanity itself in the East and Europe between nations and in the rest of the world due to internal problems of all kinds.

How do you think they would react?

The Eve fight is ridiculous and some help would be appreciated

I'm really frustrated with this boss, everything else in this game so far has been a breeze and then I instantly hit this wall, at the first stage, U can't get near the ball spider or U get electricuted, U have to just run around and shoot it until it staggers, U the have to then align urself directly Infront of the legs hoping that it stays still in order to actually hit it to get the stagger, and if U mess up ur timing or can't end it fast enough it turns into a ball that keeps slamming n only has a tiny window for u to get some hits in, the rest of the time U can't get near it or U get hit all while a bunch of small bots are swarming u. After this phase Eve is revealed and becomes a swarm of flying robots parts that U again can't physically hit or U get bombarded by orbs, so Ur just stuck running around dodging and shooting AGAIN, worst of all U can't even leave to restock on heal items or do other quest to lvl up, there's not even a vendor in that area. I turned the difficulty down to easy already and I'm still struggling.

Has anyone seen the NieR:Automata Fan Festival 12022: Side:9S?

This is a concert that features a story connected to Reincarnation, in which Mama appears, told from 9S’s side (there‘s also one from 2B’s side but the transcript for that exists). If so, does anyone know if there’s any transcript available or could possibly summarize the story for me?

I’m aware that the concert is sold on SE’s site but I do not have the funds for that nor do I have a blu-ray player, but I really want to know the contents of the story.

Nier Ending E Skip

Hey, my buddy just beat ending C and D (watching on psn screen share). The game took him into ending E (as per usual); however, after making it through the credit sequence the game ask him what message he would like to leave behind. He left a trolly kind of message (can't remember exactly what), but it completely skipped the part asking him to delete his save data... Is this normal?
