2B was assigned to be his partner not just to kill him if he steps out of line, but to make sure that he doesn’t. It’s even implied that 2B has killed 9S multiple times before for this very reason.Ĭonfusing, right? Well, what they don’t tell you outright, what you kind of have to figure out for yourself, is that 9S is considered by YoRHa to be very valuable in terms of his talent as a hacker, but his personality data causes him to be curious, always asking questions, getting emotional, etc… and apparently he’s figured out this secret before. At which point, 9S would get his memory wiped, his body rebuilt and his personality rebooted so he can go back to being an asset to YoRHa. This fact is a well kept secret among YoRHa.Īnd then at the end of route C we find out that 2B’s real name is 2E, and that her real mission is to execute 9S should he step too far out of line. Okay, so 9S is a hacker, right? And in route B, he uses his hacking abilities to find administration-only files, ultimately leading to the discovery that the Council of Humanity isn’t real and that the humans have long been extinct. **WARNING** Massive spoilers for the endings of Nier Automata ahead. I feel like there has to be a deeper meaning, and I think I figured it out. ‘That’ guy wanted 2B’s butt to be godlike. why? The Taroverse games have always been very story and lore heavy, and have traditionally been filled with details that you have to figure out the meaning behind. (he could have been kidding, but the point is he was very serious about this booty) I read somewhere that Yoko Taro told the developers to make sure that 2B’s ass was as perfect as possible, even stating he’d fuckin’ fire them if the booty wasn’t perf. Like, god fucking dammit, just look at it. The developers clearly put their blood sweat and tears into crafting the ultimate video game b-b-b-BOOTY.Īnd while I’ve been thinking about Nier Automata’s story a lot,enough to come up with a few theories, I can’t get this fuckin’ booty out of my mind. But all the times I’ve gone to the Nier Automata tag, literally all I see is…Īnd look, I’m not complaining or anything. I also don't do stupid **** like join an internet hate mob to harass some poor scientist (whos achievements we should be celebrating) because he wore a shirt with anime girls on it.Okay so back in the days of pre and post release Drakengard 3, the tags for Yoko games had a lot of people coming up with theories and sharing their ideas and opinions about the story. If I don't like it, I don't play it, I argue my case for why so issues can be addressed effetively if developers are so inclined, and I make a point to ask for/buy games I do want. As long as it isn't doing demonstrable harm to other people (and the portrayal of characters in Call of Juarez and Bayonetta is doing no such thing) then it's fine. I like Bayonetta, which other women sometimes find intolerably sexist, I find it to be an awesome sexy power fantasy and think the people calling it sexist are dumb, and that's fine too. If you don't care that it is those things (or like those things) and you like the gameplay, you go right ahead. That doesn't mean I want to stop you playing it. (which is to say it's not.) Put another way: I have a problem with Call of Juarez being intolerably racist and sexist (and also being a bad game) so I don't play it. I can talk about how it srtikes me as ridiculous that a large majority of female characters in AAA games could pass a super models or how male characters are usually allowed to have a wider range in age and level of attractiveness or how a disproportionate majority are white, and how maybe these things could use some change, while also acknowledging things like men (and white people) are the people who buy more AAA games and men tend to like attractive women, and women are less likely to care as much about physical appearance, thus even if it does change you're still going to see an abnormal concentration of very attractive women, a wider range of male character levels of attractiveness, and mostly white characters, and that isn't a bad thing any more than it's a bad thing when any other industry or work of art caters to the preferences of it's audience. Advocating for laws or censorship based on that is *fundamentally* different than pointing out percieved flaws in something. In the interest of equality, either everyones every irrational feelings are protected or nobodys can be, anything else is arbitrary favoritism. Social Justice shouldn't be about having feelings protected, feelings are irrational and cannot have consistently enforcable policy based on them, and everyone is upset by different things.
