:< I didn't get the game...
Liked the varied game play mechanics, some of the bosses were cool, after all was said and done for my first and only play through I feel like I missed out on something great. Reading all the stuff about the game online it appears to be the case.

That line of dialogue to me is Yoko and his team at their sharpest. That's why he's my favorite JRPG writer, when he's at his peak nobody is even close to being this incisive
Honestly, given how people talk about it I sincerely feel like I missed out on 90% of it.
CAUSE WE'RE GONNA SHOUT IT LOUD

"Yes?"
"Don't die alone."
Og NieR is a very rough, flawed game but I think it says a lot about Yoko Taro's genuine talent that he and cavia managed to do a lot with so little. I love Automata but og NieR is legitimately a top 5 game for me, warts and all.
After playthrough 1(Ending A)- Hmm that was a good game
After playthrough 2(Ending B)- Holy shit it is getting better
After playthrough 3(Endings C,D,E)-
"Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
Come to life..."
Game of the gen and top 3 of all time for me.
the game is clearly lying to you, lol, and it doesn't matter whether you choose to delete your file or not, but it's still cool
Well you missed most of the game so it shouldn't surprise you. :D
But but ...doing it you are helping others. Be proud of yourself ( I did it too, what an amazing game, ending and feeling it was)
Judging by how good Automata sold and how little faith Square had on it by giving it such a small budget I'd say the sales disparity between Nier and Nier Automata is the size of the Grand Canyon. We're tlaking like 500% difference or more.
So yeah, not many played the first one.
I also sacrificed mine but only because I was hate playing that game for the last few hours. I was so ready for the game to end. I didn't enjoy it. The best part of the game was the same one shown in the demo: perfect vertical slice of the game. Then it all went downhill.
I bought all the trophies from that resistance camp store just before I did ending D&E. With all the trophies unlocked I had no reason for my save file to exist anymore after doing d&e ( also who doesn't wanna help someone ! )
*Memories of gross sobbing while shooting the credits*CAUSE WE'RE GONNA SHOUT IT LOUD
God, I love this game. I sacrificed my save without regret, and I'd do it all again.
It's common sense. How many save files "died" so that you could finish the game once? If every time someone finished the game they "used up" 5-10 save files and contributed 0-1, the server would be permanently empty regardless of how generous people are.
Fuck mankind.
Tell me it saves catkind and I will think about it.
The only problem I had with Automata was how it pulled such a stupid, ridiculous retcon that completely undid the tragedy of the first Nier.
Then after ending B it's becomes truly perfect....

It's a crime that only square could solve with a remake or remaster
You didn't miss anything, especially if you were like me and didn't bother with playing after the first ending.
I was a sobbing wreck during ending e. What really broke me was when the chorus of extra voices joined the song when you finally accept help
Same. Really wasn't expecting a Taro game to have such an uplifting ending. It was...nice...
making the 360 version backwards compatible on the One would be a great start.
A Remaster or port could never save that game from irrelevance. Although Automata was not my cup of tea I still managed to beat it and i would never say it was a bad game. Meanwhile Nier 1 i hated it, couldn't finish it and it bored me to tears. It also didn't look good at all and the main character Papa Nier was ugly as sin.
And the less said about Square feeling the need to have a younger looking Nier in search of his little sister for Japanese audiences (instead of his daughter) the better.
You get a special title screen if you sacrifice your save.
The whole theme of the ending is defying the rules and reaching for the impossible.
Those people are the true heroes.
Deleted mine and never thought twice. I love that the op went into it blind. It's so much more impactful that way.
Game of the fucking generation for me, and the best game ending of all time.
Note- Logistically OF COURSE some saves are used by multiple people (as every person gets like 6 files while you're clearing the game, otherwise the game would run out of sacrificed saves extremely fast) but to me that doesn't lessen the meaning of the ending.
The game actually made me sacrifice a real, tangible thing important to me to help others because I found the sacrifice meaningful.
What can I fucking say? I don't think any other game (except OG Nier which I haven't played through but own and know intimately) could ever have an effect like that on me. It's a fucking master stroke of game and narrative design.
I got ending E at the end of an 8 hour binge where I played through Route C in a single sitting and was feeling rather underwhelmed (since I binged it so hard I didn't have time to process a lot of what was happening) when I somewhat accidentally triggered Ending E. When I understood what was happening I started to cry and applaud the screen.

You didn't finish the game, that might be a reason you didn't "get it".
To you I may be but that game bombed for a reason. I was so surprised Square would give that franchise a try after the lukewarm reception (at best) of the first one but in happy that they did because they made a much better game with a relatively low budget. This game must've been the most profitable Square Enix home console game they've made in years (budget vs income made).
no, you're still just wrong lmao
gestalt/replicant would do much better today than it did 9 years ago. different times, different audiences, people would absolutely lap that game up
just because you're incapable of feeling the games emotional resonance doesn't mean the majority of people are
I backed up my save, then uploaded/deleted it to help other people with the credits. Then I did again for good measure.
