got ending A in nier but i missed like 1 weapon oops

honestly the game was pretty repetitive so i'm wondering if i should even start a second playthrough, even if the plot twists were interesting

i think you should, because in the other playthroughs, you start from the halfway point, you see the whole story, and you don't have to do all the sidequests, or any for that matter, unless one was for the weapon you missed.

It goes by a lot faster, trust me, and I feel it's worth seeing the whole thing

yeah, you still have quite a bit of running around to get those "keys" again, but now that you know how to get through it all, it's much quicker.

If you really didn't like it all that much, don't worry about it.

i would have been genuinely surprised if the spider mastermind wasn't the final boss. the fight itself was kinda lame tho tbh, cyberdemon was more fun

got ending B...

[spoiler]assuming the shadowlord's goal is to possess the main character (is his name nier? i don't fukkin know), why does he kidnap yonah and do fuck all for 5 years instead of just trying to kill his shell and take over?

why do devola and popola send you on a runaround for the stone keys if it involves killing tons of shades? i thought they were on the shades' side?

why does ending B not show a more complete ending for kaine after it told me her backstory and introduced the shade possessing her as a voiced "character?"

idk if i missed it, but why do the not-humans know nothing about what happened to the world? if there was an apocalypse that destroyed all known civilization, how did both the replicants and gestalts survive, and why do only the shades seem to know the truth?

why do i have to go through the lost shrine two full times and go in and out of the junk heap to deliver the shitty voice acting kid his stupid materials on all subsequent playthroughs?

why is the game so fucking easy on normal mode?

WHY?[/spoiler]

john i need you to answer my nier questions in my above post

[spoiler]also why does the second playthrough try to make you feel bad about killing shades when they're 100% hostile towards you all the time and you have no choice but to kill them? this game's story is flawed as fuck and i hope automata is better in this regard because i just bought it LOL[/spoiler]

dude, that's a lot to answer and I don't really wanna type out all that.

All I can do is recommend watching a story analysis video somewhere to help you out, minding that there's some spoilers for Drakengard, though I'm betting you don't care to play those.

and reading the in-game notes might help.

I can't pretend Nier's story is well put together in-game, much of it is kinda left to interpretation, and at this point, just finish ending c, and create a seperate file before finishing it so you can easily reload it to get ending D. I assume you have all weapons?

[spoiler]as for automata, aside from obvious gameplay improvements, the story is, to me, better put together, but it does still have some of those weird, not quite fully explained things in it.

Judging from your current opinions on Nier, I think you'll like Automata better, but I'm not sure how much[/spoiler]
