"I launched a suicide attack and yet here I am alive. I must look very silly." greatest line ever spoken.

Dude 9S' voice actor is incredible. The way he can swap from innocent geeky boy to hateful, spiteful tones is incredible

Dont mind me. Just one of those people who never played the game and is watching the endings

"...being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarrassment." If that ain't the truest shit pod 153.

If 2B is a code name for 2E (Execution) then that would explain why 2B(E) is so cold or distant to 9S because she's been assigned multiple times to kill the 9S models in case they get close to the truth. In ending A, 2B's shell breaks after she kills 9S and says "It always... ends like this..." That means she's killed 9S multiple times that she hates creating bonds with the 9S models. You even get to meet with another YoRHa E-type during the B ending where she shares here inner feelings when being a E-type (Which means she went insane as an E-type). At the fight between 9S and A2, A2 says that 2B got tired killing 9S so many times, that just nails it all down from there. In this story, 9S doesn't mean No.9 Scanner, it means Suffering.

the pods are the real heoes in this game

Alright since it seems nobody did time stamps for the endings I will do them. (Ending A) 0:00 (Ending B) 9:05 (Ending C) 15:04 (Ending D) 22:09 (Ending E) 31:49 (Those are for when the ending starts)

Pretty much a happy ending. All 3 of them are alive just unconscious and memories are completely salvaged. I'll give 10 thumbs up for the all possible endings and also for this channel. Now I want to buy the game!

26:31 damn, seeing him squirming around like that...i can feel the pain from way over here

Very sad you didn't include one of the most amazing moments in game history occuring in ending E. Hardly ever seen that a player was addressed on macro-level in such a clever way. Fighting for the memories of 9S, A2 and 2B against the people who created the game which only was possible with the help of other sacrificed savegames and people around the world... with the choir in the background, woah, that really tore me to pieces. I even got a tattoo which can only be understood by the people who played all of ending E. For me the most important underlying message was: 'together we can do what we can't do on our own.' I found that incredibly beautiful.

The only character that really breaks my heart is Pascal, he's the sweetest and the most gentle character in this whole game. *SPOILER* I can't bring myself to kill him, so I just reset his memories but I feel soo terrible when I see him at his village, alone. Just warmly welcoming like I'm just a stranger! It hurts my Heart soooo bad. This game is sooooo good!

I hope 2B finally gets wear a t-shirt...

Dear lord I can't believe there's an entire thread where two people are arguing about 9S's mental breakdown. And it's all because of his laugh.

That feeling when you let go all your save files to help other players.. It's a once in a lifetime experience, unforgettable

The next Yoko Taro game will brick on your console in exchange for showing you the true ending. Pass it on.

Sadly 9S, the best boi, dies in both C and D ending, and in E ending, according to the previous script for the play (The non-ingame canon content), he also failed to activate after being salvaged because of emotional trauma or something of the likes. But i also read somewhere that Yoko Taro rewrote it after the game released so everyone survives. Still, just to think that 9S is fucked up beyond repair is a bit too much.

26:20 Congratulations, you played yourself.

I will attempt to get all Joke Endings too, these are all the main endings in the game with depth, remaining endings include a death message and that's it.

Im not crying, you're crying

Adam : get in loser, we're going to space

Route C ending had me in pieces, A2’s character arc is so beautiful and tragic. Sacrificing herself like that... I just love and respect her so much ❤️

A2' ending turns out to be my favorite. From my prospective A2 is an outsider of 2B9S' "Life, Love, Death" spiral. But still, A2 sacrifice herself to save 9S, and eventually ends the spiral (Tower collapse). A2 did these for a stranger, and she take all pain with her, free herself and join her comrade.

I always come back for ending C, I always get goosebumps and teary when A2 realises how much she loved the earth regardless of the reason she was put on it. You hear it in her voice, the peace she finally has in having completed her task.

32:30 that's the FIRST time i've ever seen credits stopped like that before lol. awesome.

2B stole my heart

tbh, with the boss fight between A2 and 9S, I went with A2 cause I thought 9S is already a goner mentally.

I feel a great wave of the feelies and depression when realizing that 9s knows he is killed over and over again. Tbh this whole game makes me depressed

"Pods 042 and 153 reconstitute the androids' memories and experiences and reconstruct their bodies-despite the possibility that the three would simply repeat everything" at this exact point of reading, I just knew that my life is fucked up. :')

To all those who sacrificed their saves to help me.....thank you. :'( I couldn't have done it without you. I made sure that when I was done, I returned the favor for those who need it. If you were able to complete the secret ending alone, I salute you!

wow square enix really plans to make some games allot of blood spilling and allot of emotions. like hell. its even more emotional then final fantasy.

I love 9S no matter what tbh

4:25 the cutscene is just beyond beautiful ... It synchronize well with the music

I just hope that damn doves dont have deeper meanings....You know, drakengard 3

did she just strangle an android?

"It always...ends like this." Add some end game context and their "first meeting" in the prologue and you get a recipe for depression.

This game is really depressing, I had to play DOOM to clear my head just to be able to sleep after beating it.

I got so many questions from watching this walkthrough: Why do Adam, Eve, 2B, 9S, and A2 all have blood? What created the tower? Was it the aliens (I thought they were primitive)? It doesn't seem to be created by Adam and Eve - does that mean the machines created the tower independent of the aliens and the Tower AI created the brothers? Or was it something created by mankind during the gestalt project? What was the purpose of the YoRHa project? If mankind was already extinct who would want to continue the war and for what purpose? Was it just androids wanting to extend their existence? and if so, why would they choose to delete everything at the end? Were the pods designed by humans or by androids? they play such a major role and act independently too - I don't quite understand how they fit in as just assistance for the androids. If anyone has any answers or just ideas I'd love to hear them.

19:43 holy shit she went up the stairs so fast

The best game I ever played. So much feelings... and the music ahh!

Man It makes me sad to see 9s slipping on his own fucking blood. But at the same time, how the fuck do you fall on a sword?

This game look soo cool until THE END is so damn sad 😤

21:36 A2 gets me in the feels

9S is a good boy.

this is a sad game 😥

A2: *says anything in the battle* 9s: *S H U T U P*

I'm glad Ending E existed. I felt terribly down after getting endings C and D. I still feel pretty damn sad for the deceased YoRHa members, Adam, Eve, and especially Popola and Devola who wont survive regardless of the ending.

you know, I feel like if Ending A had ended right at 6:30, like if it cut to black right then, Route B would have had WAY more impact when the ending happened.

I am just so glad that I know 2B is alive at the end of the game.

Song in ending C is called Mourning by Keiichi Okabe. (19:50) Thank me later!

I really want Zero's garb from Drakengard 3 as DLC for A2. Her personality reminds me of Zero so much.

To those who sacrificed their saves to help others, thank you. I could not have seen the final ending if not for you. Realizing this, I too sacrificed my saves and sent a signal of hope across the network. Never give up!

Wait, so does 2B know the truth about humanity and all that? It really doesn't seem so, even though she was designed to kill 9S so he didn't discover the truth and it's implied she has done it a lot even before the start of the game. Personally, I think it's more like she is programmed to not hesitate to mercy kill him instead of looking for options and the missions he is sent to are expected to damage him badly or get the logic virus. If not then did she just suddenly decide to kill him at random intervals for no reason and she didn't question it?

NO A2 "I'm Coming Everyone, I'm Coming" JUST AH IM CRYING ALL OVER AGAAAINNN

5:10 Get distracted by another tab, come back to weird grunting, wtfing hard until I skip back and realize whats going on.

The music on this game is amazing

Taro... actually gave us... a HAPPY ending?! Yeesh, who died a Squire Enix to bring THIS miracle about?!

Who else thinks A2 is the most fun to play as? being able to taunt your enemy is just kinda badass

For some reason, that last moment with 042 and 153 is giving me a huge Arby n' Chief vibe

The conversation between the pods in ending E is so beautiful. “A future is not given to you it is something you must take for yourself that quote will always give me a sense of hope.

I think this game made me cry the most. Poor 2B, 9S, and A2... I love this game so much

It will forever blow me away how brillant the storytelling is. With each ending you get closer and closer to the truth and you'll only understand once you have seen everything.

Im out here deleting my data to save a non-existing man... 🥺

Automata is in my Top 3 game ever and I'm playing for 25 years. Never thought that there will be game which could be so much deep, innovative and with great soundtrack. Thank you Yoko Taro

2B or not to be

26:25 ...that's fucked up.

I'm just so happy to see 2B back 😭

“Im coming everyone im coming” *proceeds to collapse* Edit: nvm she probably meant heaven or something

the guy that they are fighting sounds like saskue when he's raging

Taro said that yhis game will have a happy end...Now I look at E ending, where everyone is dead

When I saw doves at ending E it gave me nostalgia because I thought of Drakengard 3... Am I the only one?

9s's painful reaction to being stabbed is probably one of the best I've seen in a while.

Each machine location kind of had its own subsection being the carnival place for the beauty, the factory which was the machines experiencing religion for the first time etc.

A2 is just like "Fuck it I wanna be with my squad mates anyway" *Dies*

So, I think the question a lot of people asked themselves is "Well, okay, is the ending good, bad, or open?" And the answer is it's a little bit of all of them, but mostly good. - A2, 2B and 9S are all alive at the end, the pods rebuild them in the E ending. That much is clear. With Project Yorha having been destroyed, 2B (2E) also has no reason to kill 9S anymore, since that instruction was part of the Yorha project. In the concert's bad ending though, 9S was mentally broken beyond repair and 2B sits by him quietly for a long time. So, this means 9S might be the only one of the 3 that actually gets screwed in the end. - As for A2 specifically, she probably just stays with the resistance camp since she knows Anemone. - Following this up, in Emil's Head's weapon story, we see that a thousand years into the future the machines rebuilt the network and created anti-gravity systems again. I'll be honest, the implications of this are kind of lost on me, but that is worth mentioning. BUT, more importantly, Emil sees one android wearing black (which, we know must be 2B since the other Yorha are gone), walking around. Because 9S isn't mentioned, it could mean that the concert's bad ending is canon, as Emil only sees 2B. - "Will the machines and the androids fight again?" Well, without the Machine Network (the one that had infected the Yorha, not the one Emil is talking about) the machines can make their own choices. This means that yeah, probably conflicts will start because when you put two people in a room with their own wills problems can come up. So, while it won't be the same as before, there could be fighting in the future. - "What happened to the other Yorha? A2 couldn't have been the only one." Well yeah, there are probably some uninfected Yorha just walking around. As for the ones on the moon, now that the Machine Network left, it's unclear what's their result. - "What happened to the people who created Project Yorha?" Well, there's two possibilities, either they were being controlled by the Machine Network, or they weren't. If they were, then it's the same as the Yorha on the moon. If they weren't, then we just don't know. Those are all the questions I can think of.

Yeah guy...just fall on 2B's sword, the sword that basically just reminded reminded A2 to take care of you instead of killing you. Sorry, had to say it. 9S has the Tidus effect going on, I didn't like him at first but the little guy grew on me over time. It didn't take as long as it did with Tidus but still has the same effect.

A sword!? how'd that get in there? Guess it's not bright to tumble into giant swords.

why do i always look at the white pantsuuuu

it's been 4 years already huh, it's never too late to go back

I played a lot of games in my life, but nothing comes even close to how i felt playing this, i can't describe it.

Him struggling after getting himself stabbed was a nice touch.

6:01 i just want a body like hers Lord c: 36:16 someone explain that o-o

Look at A2, running the hell fast all over the stairs without break a sweat.

0:25 Eustass kid with Full body Haki.

This game had one of the best endings I'd have ever seen. They'll wake up and get to explore the peaceful world, just as it was before the aliens... Well, sorta, being that (spoiler alert) all humans are extinct. Regardless, maybe 9S and 2B will rejoice that they get to travel together once again, right beside their best friend at all times. Maybe they'll fall in love? (What? So what if they're androids, they'd be SO cute together.) However, I'd imagine that if 9S saw A2 again, a flashback of her (spoiler alert) killing 2B would pop into 9S's head, and he'd be overcome with hate and try to destroy A2. I mean, I can KIND OF see his point, 'cause seeing 2B die broke my heart. I actually liked her a lot! But that's over now. Maybe they'll all live in peace.

Did the platinum yesterday. A beautiful story i will keep in my heart all my life. Will play Nier on ps3 next because i want to know more about Emil and Nier. Greetings from Germany

Gosh, all endings are so emotional. I cried and laugthed. Especially I love the pods. So many amazing well written Characters!

*Trophy earned!* 🏆 FEELS, MAN. FEELS.

Finished ending E today along With D since 2B died i knew 9S was gonna change didnt expect him to become a bad guy but his story is so sad he loses the bunker the girl he probably liked.. then has to kill his operator too

This story is so complex. My pea-sized brain is trying to understand the lore and theories in the comments lol.

I've just finished the last ending literally 5min ago. This game was amazing!

The games a trip for sure. Truly a masterpiece, I really want a spiritual successor not to many game developers can hit the notes nier does hell most don't even try I can't help but want more.

Ending e was just.... God damn. To be given something so rare like a second chance especially when it comes to something like that is just amazing. I hope the nier games continue I truly do. Also I hope that 9s a2 2b and even emil are involved in at least some way.

you miss one cut scene at the end of ending C. A scene with 2A sword.

I like how even the Bots created their own way of thinking and talking like they were humans.

just finish nier automata . i feel like my life is meaningles right now 😩

who were the 2 girls that showed up in ending B while 2B was killing 9S ????

Proposal: try not to cry finishing this game. P.S.: I got ending E last night and could barely sleep, damn masterpiece.

I don't know if these words ever reach to them but I would like to thank Nico(GOne) , Rayne and COnic for their sacrifice that allowed me to finish this!

I cried for ending C and D :(((( 9S suffered alot.
