the moment that I fell in love with NieR: Automata while it was breaking me

clip of the dialogue that happens after the side quest "Photographs"

[amandalove]

This game is filled with moments that just breaks your heart.

[ЯБезымянный-оф]

This whole game made me feel like a ghost walking the land I no longer belong to.

[omikazaru]

song: voice of no return, one of the best song of the game

[Viridissima]

I love how so many of the early sidequests foreshadow stuff that happens in route c/d, wish there were more of that in Replicant.

[xblyra]

Nier Automata truly was an experience I wish I could have again, such a masterpiece and so many people overlook it...

Edit: wow, didn't expect this many likes! Just want to clarify something... When i say that many people overlook it I'm talking about my personal experience when recommending the game to friends or other people, most of them just ignore it or they say they'll give it a try but then don't, and I've seen this happen a lot!

[Luxius]

the story of A2 you can read in a computer near there broke me, I cried reading texts, yeah that's how good Nier is

[johnbuster]

Get in for the giant android ass
Left with existential crisis

Thank you, Mr. Yoko Taro

[DavidMartinez-spll]

I forgot what quest it was but there was a line said by a resistance member that was like "What do I do now? I have no one to love, and no one to kill. I have nothing." That shit hit different ngl 🤧

[asbehsam]

I finished this game in one go, at 4 a.m. and I cried like a baby at the true ending (Ending E) when I realized the game was bringing real people in to help me and to get the msg across after so many hours of heartbreak: That I am not alone. I cannot thank Yoko Taro enough for this.

Edit: YES, I finished the game through Ending E in one go, people XD It actually made it much more emotional for me because I had spent so many hours playing

[apocalypsen]

This is the only game, to ever bring me back such nostalgia, happiness and sadness simultaneously each time i encounter any content regarding the nier series.

May favourite take away from the game is just how the characters, are all so focused on their mission, and in 9S case, his revenge. The game rlly opened up my eyes to remind me that, sometimes we just got to take a step back and enjoy life, move on from past incidents n struggles.
As A2 said in ending C, "I never quite realised, how beautiful this world is".

May everyone see the beauty of life, no matter whats happening now, cast your worries aside for a moment and just enjoy whats around you for abit :)

I've been playing for 35 years now, and nothing has hit me nearly as hard as this. The music, my God...everything. Heartbreaking yes, but I am better because of it.

[rishatreceng]

made me wanna play it all over again) what a masterpiece

[gotem]

Makes me cry EVERY TIME. THIS Best thing I've ever played in my entire life. Ah, goodness. Perfection.

[horebeliot]

A year has passed after playing it, still can't get over.

[OG_SayMoreHomie]

That moment for me was when one of the androids at the space base wanted us to look for one of their comrades.
When you come back to her with proof that they had passed they started laughing and monologuing about how much they hated them and that they were glad they were dead.
I don't know why but I still think about that sometimes.

[AesirUnlimited]

Automata taught me one very important lesson. A life lived without purpose is the saddest thing in the universe.

[sorde]

For me its “wandering couple” where the one Android resets their partner, I just died a little inside

[koaga]

Legit played this game so much, as soon as I hear the OST I start to cry.

[ultraleitor]

I fell in love when I first heard City Ruins. I've never felt so emotional over a place before in my life.

[zeroXshinobi]

I fell in love once the camera moved through the clouds and showed 2B in her ship....aka the opening. That track still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
