Because you see the Terminals and the rest of the network had grown tired of the perpetual war and decided to end it by taking themselves out of the equation. However the Terminals in charge of the Machine network changed it’s mind about this and instead turned it into an ark, loading it up with all the consciousnesses of the Machine Network and shooting it off into space in hopes of finding a new planet to explore. They eventually both infiltrate the tower and end up confronting each other at the top where regardless of how you choose to play things they both end up dead and Yorha officially ceases to exist.Īt this point two things happen, first, the tower is revealed to be a missile launcher with the intention of shooting it at the Moon Colony. The rest of the game is then spent with A2 and 9S independently investigating a machine made tower that appeared in the middle of the city the game takes place in.
NIER AUTOMATA 2B POD ANDROID
This chain of events concludes with 2B being infected with the virus and having to be mercy killed by a rogue Yorha android A2 and 9S going off the deep end because of witnessing this. Almost immediately after this the entirety of Yorha is wiped out by a machine made virus that was deliberately placed into the Yorha network by other androids to keep the androids from winning the war and losing their purpose. That last bit causing big problems late in the game as 9S learns this fact in rapid succession along with the fact that humanity had actually died out years before the aliens had even shown up (Courtesy of Nier’s recklessness in the first game) and the Moon colony lie was just in place to keep the androids from giving into despair. And so while the machines look vastly different from Androids, being egg shaped bronze colored entities they have a lot more in common with the androids then the androids would like to admit, up to including the fact that the Yorha androids were made using the machines network as a basis. They don’t particularly talk about it much and just try to act like they’re tools of humanity and nothing more but Androids in their own way are trying to be humans themselves right down to the Androids bodies being basically replications of humans right done to their biology replicated in mechanical form. So while our protagonists brush off the machines behaviour as just glitches in the Machines network the similarities between the Androids and Machines becomes increasingly obvious as the game goes on.
NIER AUTOMATA 2B POD HOW TO
This is a common story regarding machine in fiction, if they’re not trying to wipe out humanity they’re trying to learn how to be it but this game goes about it in a very different way as in most fiction the people that the machines are playing their humanity off of aren’t other machines going through their own replication of humanity as this is what the Androids of this game are going through throughout the game. Such examples include a village of pacifistic Machines lead by a Machine named Pascal, a castle of machines replicating medieval knights, a carnival of clown machines, and a group of machines replicating the behaviour of the desert dwelling society from the first Nier. They eventually discover that the Machines have begun trying to replicate human behaviour by mimicking human emotions and acting out historical human events, good and bad. This war went on for a very long time before we got to the present where our protagonists, combat unit 2B and support unit 9S are sent behind enemy lines to investigate a rise in strange behaviour in the Machines. This prompted humanity to flee to the moon and then to send an army of androids called Yorha back to Earth to reclaim it. In this present, aliens came to our world and unleashed an army of Machines to destroy humanity. The story of Nier: Automata takes place thousands of years after the events of the original Nier which, baring a couple of returning characters and state of the world being a result of that games story is otherwise unconnected. And so the following is about the humanity of this games robots and what I liked about it. And really, that’s what a good portion of Nier: Automata’s story is about, machines trying through many different means to learn how to be human. It’s a small gesture that serves no benefit in gameplay but it’s a nice personal touch that adds a bit of humanity to our android protagonist.
There’s an ability in Nier: Automata that let’s player character 2B pet the head of her assistant robot Pod 042.
