What makes this even sadder is the fact that they didn’t get to keep their promise that they were gonna go shopping once the war was all over.

This scene would have been so much sadder for me if I didn't fall into the cave like a dumbass and spent 10 minutes trying to get up💀

Fun fact: Yoko Taro probably wrote this scene while he was drunk, since its easier for him to write emotional scenes while drunk.

Fun (sad) fact: that bridge is where 9S firsts ask 2B to call him "Nines" and is that bridge where she finally and for the last time called him "Nines" :(

I just fished this game. When 2B died, I was like, "She can't die, she's the main character." I kept on playing hoping she will return but she never did.

I felt pretty bad for 9S as he descended further and further into his rage/virus. At the same time, his character became 10x more interesting.

It’s sad how 9s misunderstood A2 she just was making it less painful

The only time she called him "Nines".

I don't think I'll ever forget playing this for the first time. I thought I fucked up somehow and that I could still fix it. I was so desperate to keep 2B alive that I kept trying to give her all the status cure items that I had in my inventory. God this was so depressing...

9S' rage honestly gave me a flashback to Eve and his reaction when 2B killed Adam. Just pure, raw emotion. Sadness, then bloodcurdling rage, even down to the same damn scream. It's eerie to think the enemies and the protagonists you play as are so similar.

My emotional circuit is malfunctioning.

Part C/D scarred me so bad, like the first ending was happy and all, and to think at the start of a new chapter, the story kills 2b just like that without hesitation.

I remember walking this path and that annouchment came in from the Council of Humanity. That horrified feeling it gave me....

Man how come all the good games or anime with the people liking each other at the end always end up with one of them dying😭😭

2B: SCAN FOR PLACES WHERE THERE ARE NO ANDROIDS TO GET INFECTED!!! pod: sure. it's in the shopping mall *arrives at the shopping mall, with hostile androids 2B: *BRUH!!!* pod: you said you dont want androids infected, these guys are way over it!!!

I'm not crying, it's just ..my emotions are making my allergies act up

On that bridge, 9S asked 2B to call him Nines. In the shopping centre behind, he asked if they want to go shopping when the war is over. 2B dies in that place, between the bridge and the shopping center remains. Yoko Taro, you are a most clever monster.

I was enjoying the hell out of this game then this scene happened and i was robbed. I was angry. I legitimately put the fucking controller down and took some time away. A week later I played again and taking that choice with pascal brought me to tears. Thanks yoko taro for breaking my heart worse than any woman has.

Kyle's voice acting is madness, Gosh

The sound design is awesome

“Bunkers gone no point backing up anyway” She basically said her after life is nonexistent… Imagine being this helpless when even death isn’t an easier way to go.

F for 2B

The sadness in her voice when she says “Bunker’s gone… There’s… no point in backing up anyway” completely destroys me

Damn after this scene I sent a message to my friend who introduced me to this game and told him "Yo are you serious?? Did, did 2b really died?? Like definitely??". I was hurrying up to reach to the mall thinking "I need to save 2b", seeing she really died had me feeling.

9S: Im not going anywhere! Boar: i dont think so bucko

"its just a game" they say "they're not real" they say

Im actually praying all gods for this scene to be good in anime

The pain in his voice, damn...

This was still my nightmare for the whole 3 years since I finished the whole game

This part of the game broke me. I got almost as broke as 9S while playing the game. For a long time after that, I really couldn't feel even a slight bit of compassion for the still connected machines.

4:06 A2 is like "I am The 2B now."

The rest of the game was still fun, but I was REALLY upset by 2B's death... I didn't have the same emotional attachment with A2.

Ngl the voice acting for english is amazing. I was honestly surprised since I noticed that the mouthing was off back when I was playing A path and wondered if in Japanese was the original and it was. But then had to switch back to English bc I had a hard time reading the subs while fighting robots. So i'll do it in my second play through of the entire game.

This was the first proper time when 2B called 9S "Nines". This broke my hearth completely.

i almost cried when she said nine's like seriously soo sad

I was really hoping she could get vaccinated. Then this hit me where it hurts. I sat down in silence for 15 whole minutes, my body physically wouldn't let me continue. I was in a strop even after picking the controller back up.

How did they end up making the saddest death in videogame history an android? like think about that for just a moment. They are all androids, machines, and the game constantly reminds you of this. yet at the same time, at this point in the game you feel a connection with these characters despite them being both fictional and robot characters. To add to this scene, it made you feel a sense of hopelessness and a sense of "maybe i can get out of this" only to see it didn't matter because everything was hopeless. Then, having 9S desperately try to get to 2B, the person he is closest to by far, just in time to watch her die from the distance, not knowing that A2 was only doing what 2B asked her to do because she was infected just makes this a legit sad love story. And to top all of this off, the game is constatntly nudging the question of "what is the point of all of this" throughout the whole game in such a great way. Even if you do have a sense of "the meaning of life" somehow relating to the good of humanity, it is already stated at this point that humans are all extinct. Especially after this scene it really makes you ask yourself that question of what is the meaning now.

Man, compared to kingdom hearts the dialogue in so much better in terms of flow. I think its because for the English dub, they didn't worry too much about matching the lip flaps.

Damn he went super saiyan

The moment when she said "nines" instead of just 9S during her death... Who knows, knows

3:30 lol you just gonna let that giant hog do you like that?

This part was so well made especially with the messages along the way like "Thank you all brave androids..." while the player already knows it's a pointless war. Makes 2Bs death so much more tragic.

Story Mode C, and to an extension D, are real gut punchers. Mainly towards 9S. I honestly felt his pain when A2 killed 2B. Yeah, I knew it was because 2B had that virus inside her, and since she was unable to get an antivirus software, killing 2B made the most sense. But at the same time, seeing 9S' reaction after seeing A2 stabbing 2B through the chest, and to have him go down further and further into the rabbit hole, to the point where he becomes the villain in this story, and ironically A2 becoming the hero in this story, I had so many mixed emotions at this point.

SPOILERS . . . . What always gets me about this is how 2B almost has a happiness/relief in her voice at the end. Death is her release from and endless cycle of having to kill the person she loves, and only in this last moment can she finally be genuine with him. It’s so fucking sad and beautiful at same time.

Playing as your character is dying and your game is crashing all around is the most painful expérience ever

4:29 I'm not sure if I feel dumb for not considering this sooner, or if there's something I'm missing but how is the bridge to the commercial facility still intact for the rest of the 3rd playthrough? It seems like the same bridge

Pain in 4k HDR

NieR: Automata is one of the few games to make me cry (Ending A made me sob in fact), and I think the voice acting plays a big part in what makes those scenes so emotional. 2B crying in Ending A and 9S crying here are both performed so incredibly well. It does also help that this is one of the best written games out there (although the bar isn't exactly high)

I wish I could help her

I remember crying so much playing this game, absolutely my #1

That “oh no” at 3:58 just kills me. It’s one of the most heartbreaking bits of voice acting I’ve heard in a game.

NieR:Automata fan: cries Final Fantasy VII fan: "First time?"

When all this started to go down, I was already in too deep. Lol

Almost 7 years and this game still freaks my veins

Man even to this day its rough to see this. Its hard to sit through this X_X

I don't like anime or anything but this ending when 9s yells this legit gave me chills I felt the emotion

Man playing this for the first time trying to make it to the shopping mall was BRUTAL

Anime only people bout to witness the Yoko Taro magic in summer 2024: Main Characters poofing out left and right

Genuinely never cried to a game so much as I did for this game and I barely show emotions for anything. This game really kicked my ass mentally and I love it to death

I'm crying 2B!!!!!!!

1:03 idk what it is but I find this part so chilling

I wish i could play this game the first time again.

Still hurts

Ngl when i first saw this scene my jaw was on the floor.

I got spoiled about 2B death during my first playthrough while looking for nier guide. sadge

This is the modern microwave hall scene

according to memory thorn, 9S couldn’t hear 2B calling him nines here :/

Was hoping it was the subbed version :(

I thought this scene was not gonna hurt as much as it did in the first playthrough but boy I was wrong 🥲

Never been this broke over a game💔

Fun fact, I put Makoto and Morgana in the Ichinose boss fight, partially because of this.

This is just too surreal, like I can't accept 2B dies here.

thats so sad man😢

Bruh, 9S was given the shit end of the stick and he couldn't handle it. My boy didn't deserve any of it, he was just a curious guy.

Jesus christ man, I don't think I ever felt this sad for the death of a game character. I don't remember feeling this sad even when Joel died.

I was scarred throughout the third playthrough. Never replaying that again

This is like Gran from Granblue Fantasy goes nuts after Lyria died

This game has one of the best stories and characters. So amazing. The story was so epic

What’s the music for this? Trying to figure it out

This hit me hard..

damn..

So im in the final B now, once i finished that, the game itself si gonna go alone to the route C or i need some requisites for that?

Who would've guessed that before the last of us 2, there were another game where you killed the main character halfway through the game, THEN you get to play with the same character that killed you Lol.

This hurts more than an alcoholic dad beating you

i cri everytim

2:28 does anyone mind telling me what part of the soundtrack this came from 😭 i’ve searched everywhere and i can’t find itttt

Spoiler: She'll be fine.

4:15 ohhh.... that tasty HATRED for u.. nom nom!

Fun fact : The screen effect make your eye hurt so much when you has been wake like 2 day or more (100% Aproved by me)

For someone who wants to keep the weapons lore accurate what would A2's loadout be. Cause I currently am in route C with both type 40 weapons but after this scene wouldn't it make more since with her having both 2B's weapons or one of each?

this is so sad

that legit broke me when i played.

Just played this part and man is it ballsy for them to kill the MC like this. It worked out pretty well so far those. Still trying to finish C and D endings. Then I’ll do E

This cannot continue

This is what happens when you install Bonzi Buddy onto your computer.

The day when 9S became a Man. With some amazing character development.

That day I cried .... like a bitch.

This scene fucked me up, so badly

The way A2 looked @1:55. :)

I must have this game wow this is so well played that man must think of something wurs
