NieR Automata

Hey, so yo. Hbomberguys has been streaming this game on Twitch. So if your idea of a good time at late at night or early morning is watching a weird English person freak out over the clever shit that happens in this game, check it out.

 
Nier: Automata's Director & Composer Talk About Being Hard On Themselves - Siliconera
Article:
Taro – I think that we are really close to our death, and so I really need to just start to praise other people and be kind to them because our time is limited on this Earth.
Typical Taro. :V
Article:
Taro – I actually received some personal messages saying that it helped people or that it stopped them from committing suicide. I can't really come to feel that I've saved them or helped them myself. I do feel like the game was just able to stay close with them – to be by their side. I think that's just because games, in general, have so many different opportunities and essences. I believe that if I provide a lot of different types of answers in my game, then the player will find the answer that they need for themselves – that's most suited for them.

I think it's very difficult to make a game that explicitly goes out to try to save people, but I think that it's possible to help them by creating a lot of different types of answers in the game.
That's heartwarming. And I wish SV had an appropriate emote.

Don't worry. Human are already Gods.
So it's just up to the XBO to BECOME AS GODS. :V

Does that mean that Microsoft itself will BECOME AS GODS?

Also I know that's the most common idea but isn't there an implication that it might mean/involve something else?

To die because the gods are dead and that's the only way to reunite with them. That and or dying is the key part of being human.

In general, the Machine Lifeforms shouldn't know that Humanity is actually dead. When 2B and 9S encounter Adam and Eve in the Alien Bunker, Adam still believes that Humans are alive on the Moon (2:15 ~ 2:55).

So, I guess, it would depend on how the Factory Machines came to the conclusion that dying would allow them to become as gods. Personally, they seem to be a splinter faction of Adam (who believes that conflict -- such as killing and death -- are the true essence of Humanity) that simply went berserk by embracing his ideology.

Or the Red Girl did it. Hmm...
 
Kierkegaard is all about that angst and despair, and also the nature of faith and state religion, I figure that's as good as any a starting place for looking into what was going on there considering.

Humans were never the Machines' gods, they were the Android's gods, the machines were just fascinated by our accomplishments and used us as sort of a starting point in finding their own identities after they killed their own creators. (My reading)

Yo, here's my edgy as fuck take.

The robots kill themselves to become as gods because then they DON'T FUCKING EXIST.

Killed it.

If I recall correctly Adam broadcasted his death so there's a decent chance they concluded that the act of dying was key as both their creators and the humans (and all biological life really) that they wished to emulate were dead.

I mean, a lot of religions believe you meet the god's in your afterlife

Honestly trying to figure this out is probably a dead end, but it's a fun one.
 
i will finish route b eventually

maybe even this year
 
if you haven't finished B (and thus reached C/D and E the real ending) then your at maybe 30% complete of the main story line.
