There's a lot of religious imagery in NieR. So I know this whole section might seem like a spoiler but I promise it isn't.

That symbolism is even in their character models, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

A few of them start feeling like friends that you'll miss when you have to move on.Īll the android characters are so well written that they feel almost but not quite human.
They're a bunch of androids who live and work on Earth providing intelligence and helping YoRHa with supplies and serve the purpose of quest givers and store fronts as well as upgrading equipment. Secondary characters mostly include members of the Resistance. They each have "O" units, operators that they report to back at a space station called "The Bunker" that orbits Earth. He's also pretty excited to have a partner for this mission and 2B's friendship with 9S evolves over the course of the games story. He's used to working alone and scouting enemy positions while providing support for front line field units. I think it's also important to note that there is some sexualisation of the female characters but 2B nor anyone else is ever objectified in the game.ĢB and other "B" units are fighters. They will perform their duties and sacrifice themselves if they're asked. It's clear from the start that she and in fact YoRHa are not to be trifled with. But there's always a hint of higher emotional connection to her world and a few times when it comes out in force. Her development throughout NieR is really something to see for yourself. I want to say straight off the top that I consider 2B to be one of the strongest female protagonist roles that I've seen in a long time. The main characters are the female android YoRHa battle unit, 2B and the male android scanner unit, 9S. Even the side characters and a couple of the games bosses are deeper than one would think about normally. NieR has a large cast of characters and most of them are pretty well fleshed out. Also in the same vein NieR being shown with a capitalized "R" has no meaning other than being stylistic. A translation saying that it means "passing leaf" is out there and the game's director, Yoko Taro, says that there's a reason for the word to be shown as it is but it's a secret that he's keeping. YoRHa itself is not an acronym and has no special meaning that I could find. They are fiercely loyal, can live, fight, and survive completely autonomously. YoRHa, a fighting force of sentient androids were created to wage war against the machines and reclaim Earth for humanity. Mankind couldn't hope to stand against them so those who survives fled to the Moon and colonized.
This is a story set far in the future about an Earth that has been abandoned by humanity after an alien invasion that left hostile, self-replicating machines behind in their place. Yes it's got its issues and I'll go into them, but the good outweighs the bad and shines resplendent as the noonday sun over it.

I'll just get it out of the way here and say, this title is worth full price for whichever platform you're playing on.
#Cool otomata series#
I've had no previous experience with NieR or the Drakengard series so this was my first taste and I'm glad I decided to snap it up. Below is my review for yet another game I played and praise a lot.Īlright so as I said from my early impressions article, NieR: Automata, is something that I looked at as interesting but only really paid it mild attention way back when I was first hearing about it in late 2015. "But why Scroo? We need to know." I hear none of you asking but I'm going to tell you anyway. Well the headline says it, I love this game.
