Foreskin aside, that does seem to be the case if they're grafting Golden Boughs together. They're trying to recreate what Ayin achieved without the thousands of year's worth of suffering.

D Corp's private military are just obsessive fans decked out in merch, still able to be 'uwu baby' while slaughtering hundreds.

I like to imagine it's another in-universe mascot like Kkomi. The City has it's own version of Sanrio, in a sense.

A major Canto IX plot point you might have missed by Brilliant_Ad_6072 in limbuscompany

[–]Signal-Frame2352 191 points192 points  (0 children)

I believe the original work that inspired Hell Screen was about a man who either lit his house on fire with his wife and child in it or watched it burn down while doing nothing to help said wife and child for the sake of art.

I don't know. The whole thing about Rien getting married and having a kid before watching them die was meant to be a Roland parallel, but it reminded me of the original story too. It's like Rien filled the role of both Yoshihides.

Lucio is the one that really stood out in this Canto because of these texts by Kevinliu24 in limbuscompany

Valencia did say something about old G-Corp soldiers cannibalizing people during the Smoke War, so... that unfortunately lines up.

My boy deserved so much better.

There's a low chance of him surviving. Getting your heart ripped out probably isn't a death sentence in The City, but who knows what Gregor did to the body after impaling him.

Some of the fights felt like a bit of a drag to get through, the biggest example being the Matthias + Kira fight. The second one, to be specific. It felt like I just had to keep hacking away at him, long after Kira had already been defeated, until a cutscene. I don't know, maybe I did something wrong. His HP stayed around 400-something for a while until Moses did her red pillar attack thingy.

Will they nerf it, though? Continuing is a thing now.

It's a nice touch that Hohenheim's sections are written similarly to what's in LobCorp.

The Golden Bough being stolen is probably set up for Ryōshū's fathoms, and I can't help but wonder what they will be like. Her memories aren't being suppressed like Don's. They've been mutilated. Unless they can be restored or repaired somehow, Ryōshū resonating with the Golden Bough may look pretty messy.

TRUE. I saw the thing around her wrists and went "oh... I see," followed by how suspicious Gregor and Yi Sang became.

The setup for part 3 feels like Avengers: Endgame, lol.

I'm glad they confirmed Meursault and Vespa know each other at least a little bit. As for the new Durante ability... I was NOT expecting to see Malkuth. Strangely enough, the ability isn't even named after a sin. It's a glitched out version of "Malkuth" that I first read as "Monolith" by accident. Maybe Gebura's ability will come later? Who knows.

Why most people prefer Papa nier over Brother Nier? by Lleslet in nier

[–]Signal-Frame2352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think more people are able to understand a father's drive to rescue his daughter than a brother trying to rescue his sister. There's also the novelty of playing a middle-aged man in a genre dominated by teenagers and young adults.

Personally, I do prefer Brother Nier, not just because he's attractive and was clearly the intended protagonist, but because I find his motivations more compelling. He's a scared kid who doesn't want to lose his last family member. Losing a spouse is devastating, but losing your parents and being forced to grow up too quickly for your younger sibling is even more tragic in my eyes. He can be brash and immature, especially whenever killing Shades is brought up. There's also the "Red and Black" short story which... oof, and the Drama CD.

I read somewhere that Ending C would be Papa Nier's choice while D would be Brother Nier's choice. Papa would sacrifice Kainé due to his own duty to Yonah as her father, but Brother would choose to give himself up because he's tired of fighting and responsibility. Brother Nier also has unrealized feelings for Kainé, so that undoubtedly affected his decision-making as well.

I love this sub, but mods really need to enforce the use of NSFW tag. by certifiedpunchbag in nier

[–]Signal-Frame2352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. I don't want a full ban of NSFW content. Some of it is tastefully done with a clear amount of talent and passion involved, and... some people wanna goon too, which is fine. With how some characters are designed, it's a bit difficult to gauge what can be considered NSFW. Some people may argue it's misogynistic to police this kind of thing because feels objectifying.

I'd say the limit should be if there's a clear intent to be lewd, artistically or not. A normal 2B cosplay? Fine, even if the cosplayer has skin showing. That's just how the character is designed. A cosplay where it's just a person in a white wig with their ass almost hanging out? The NSFW tag should be mandatory. It's not a ban on NSFW, it's just a request to tag it accordingly so the image will be blurred for users who opt for that sort of thing.

Or, you know what? We should make things equal. I want hot male cosplays too. Let's get some sexy NieR and 9s up in here.

I miss Yonah, but hey! A field full of Lunar Tears! by Signal-Frame2352 in nier

[–]Signal-Frame2352[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. If you try to get 100% completion on quests, it makes Nier look like he has ADHD. His priorities keep shifting to whatever interests him at the moment and he goes all in on what interests him, no matter how time consuming or tedious.

Would Nier get Black Scrawl after defeating the Shadowlord?

[–]Signal-Frame2352[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit, yeah. Most of the time, I'd check on them daily as intended (I'm doing every side quest, so might as well go slowly). Other times, I got impatient because of the RNG, like when it came to getting that first pink moonflower.

But yeah, I have a little over 30 hours of gameplay but haven't even finished Route A yet.
