NieR: Automata: Difference between revisions

* [[Dead All Along]]: {{spoiler|Thanks to the events of ''[[NieR]]'', humanity as we know it is long gone. All that remains of mankind are the androids' "civilization" as well as human genome and memories brought to the Moon. While the aliens responsible for the invasion are also long gone by the time the game takes place, having been killed off by their own creations.}}

* [[Deceptively-Human Robots]]: 2B and many other robot, androids, and cyborg characters that are found in earth appear very human-like in appearance.

* [[Everything's Better with Plushies]]: [https://s.pacn.ws/640/u7/nierautomata-mini-plush-2b-yorha-no-2-type-b-543751.4.jpg?oyqgsd Who wouldn't want this [[kawaii]] beyond all reason 2B plushy?]

* [[Fling a Light Into the Future]]: {{spoiler|Part of the true purpose of YoRHa and the androids in general is to carry on mankind's legacy long after humanity itself has died off.}}

* [[From a Certain Point of View]]: The whole spiel about humanity living on the Moon is correct {{spoiler|given how it's in the form of human genomes and memories.}}

* [[Genre Shift]]: It's much more [[Science Fiction]] than [[Fantasy]] this time around, especially given the virtual nonexistence of magic and how {{spoiler|almost}} every character is non-organic.

* [[La Resistance]]: There's still a Resistance on Earth that cooperates with YoRHa and continues to fight the "machine lifeforms." {{spoiler|They're all androids though.}}

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The game is noticeably more difficult than ''[[NieR]]'', even during the opening prologue.

* [[More Dakka]]: Some of the battles and attacks are this. Spraying bullets.

* [[Ragnarok Proofing]]: The ruins of advanced civilization have held up pretty well for thousands of years. Also somewhat justified in that enough time had passed for technology to have advanced, not to mention that some (be it the "machine lifeforms" or the androids) have maintained some infrastructure to a degree.

* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: Fiddling around with 2B, like giving her a self-destruct command (R3 and L3 on the same time on the Playstation 4 controller or B for the PC) or removing on item on her programming, will cause her to blow herself up.

* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: {{spoiler|It's revealed that the "machine lifeforms" had long since killed their alien overlords.}}

* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: Continuing the trend from ''[[NieR]]'' but goes even further, incorporating even more overt [[Shmup]] elements (complete with [[Bullet Hell]]) into the gameplay.
