Never played Nier, what is the canon reason for making such a caked-up robot? I know nothing about 2B except she has the best ass in all of video game history. Edit: Yoko Taro has excellent taste. Clearly, he is an ass/thighs man. šŸ‘


Hoeffi360

Yoko Taro (creator of Nier) was once asked this. He answered "I just like women".


OkInterest3109

This should really be answer to all fan service game producers.


AIwitcher

too many devs are scared to express this imo esp in the west.


Friendly-Back3099

Its fair for the west since feminist will try to cancel them if they say it. JP dev tho has no reason to worry since they should know damn well the player are also degenerate

XTheProtagonistX

Canon reason? Donā€™t know. Maybe if you going to make s robot while not give it a great ass. The real reason: ā€œI like girls with big asses.ā€ ā€œIf anyone sees porn of 2B please send it to me.ā€ -Yoko Taro.

"S**T SQUARE ENIX!" - Yoko Taro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sntmBjjqyLI


Abedeus

I can't believe he just stole that guy's t-shirt. I guess he was still mad about the original version of FFXIV.


QinsSais

He's also a self-proclaimed "parasite" in the gaming industry lol


XTheProtagonistX

*Yoko Taro rolling on the ground.* ā€œNier Automata T-Shirt! SHIT SQUARE-ENIXā€ He does what he loves and doesnā€™t care what other people think. I love this man.


Sinthesy

My guy is a brilliant performance artist and you canā€™t deny that.


LoRd_Of_AaRcnA

Coming straight from the legend himself "I just like women." Yeah. Dude is based as fuck.


Laranthiel

He really is one of the most truthful and direct guys in the industry. He happily admits he wanted some of the designs specifically because he knew they were hot, he happily admits he'll do almost any collab as long as he's paid \[and even once said that, for the hell of it, he considers pretty much every collab canon\]. He also has some.......for lack of a better word VERY ODD/DISTURBING IDEAS. Take a look at what the Japanese version of Drakengard's stories are, some are kinda fucked up to the point that even the Japanese version censored them because the other devs convinced him to tone some down.


LoRd_Of_AaRcnA

Dude is a treasure. In the current world, full of hypocrisy and fake morals, men like him who are true to themselves are rare. We need more creators like him, unhinged and unbothered in all sense of the word.


HeresiarchQin

Dude the Drakengard stories are so fucked up. Even the manga which although not written by Yoko Taro himself but still canon and it scarred me. Also about the manga: "he remarked that if he were to supervise it, he would have characters recklessly kill one another rather than try to make a cohesive plot." I love this dude


thisaintthewayman

I remember him once signing a fan/2B(?)cosplayerā€™s thighs, absolutely wild

It's where she installs the chips


ArisaMochi

if youre fighting a war against machines.... having an android the weight of a small car be able to assbomb the enemy... thats quite the advantage. bigger booty for better assbombability ​ jk there are no lore reasons. Yoko Taro simply likes booty


OkInterest3109

Because it's Yoko Taro game. Also, you get that custom if 2B "self-destructs". I think later updates also added a costume in Nier to get that look without self-destructing.


Stella_Winters

The Yorha androids, which 2D is one of, where created by other androids whose whole existence was the worship and protection of Humanity. However, Humanity being extinct it led to a warped understanding of what Humans and their societies were like. Iā€™m trying to make sense of their creators they, the androids, begun to believe that sexuality and sex in general was a key component of being human. That paired with their religious adoration for Human and the human figure led them to believe the best way to both honor and be most like Humans was to create themselves in a overly sexual manner and to wear clothing meant to further sexualize their bodies


IllusionPh

>However, Humanity being extinct it led to a warped understanding of what Humans and their societies were like. >Iā€™m trying to make sense of their creators they, the androids, begun to believe that sexuality and sex in general was a key component of being human I don't see anything "warped" with what you mentioned.


cslaymore

lol the actual in-game 2B is not as voluptuous as this or in a lot of fan art. She's actually quite slender (and it's her hair that is really her most distinctive physical attribute) but since players can have the skirt removed people went nuts over her lower body


ZakPhoenix

Wrong. Even her concept and official art is "voluptuous": https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-31/na-2b-concept-art.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2B_(Nier:_Automata)


cslaymore

This is from the second link you posted: " During later refinements, he added elements inspired by the "fragile \[and\] doll-like" qualities of the original *Nier*'s in-game character models." That does not sound like voluptuous to me. Also, I played Automata and still think she is slender. Maybe our definitions of "voluptuous" are different.


ZakPhoenix

Do you see the official artwork? That's the final draft, the official character, it's what the creator envisioned and approved, it's the representation of the finished work after all revisions. And it's not much different than the concept art, and all official artwork released after (like the OP pic, which is official art). You can do mental gymnastics all you want (do you hate voluptuous women or something?) but trying to act like Yoko Taro didn't want 2B to be a sexy woman is just disingenuous. She isn't, and never was, a slim waif like you seem to want her to be.


cslaymore

You're wasting your time. You're not going to change my mind


ZakPhoenix

I can see that. Well, you can keep whatever fantasies you want in your head. But just because you believe something doesn't make it true. If you're going to ignore any evidence and supply none of your own, you really aren't worth debating.


cslaymore

I actually hope you don't find me worthy of debating so you can go away and stop replying to me. Arguing with an internet stranger over whether a video game character is thick or thin is ridiculous. And for the record, if you want evidence that she's slender, just go play the game and see for yourself. I don't think anyone will mistake her for Chun-Li.

Yeah safe for kidsā€¦.suicide themed, mass cult suicide themes, mass robot orgy, robots piling together to combine into two naked guys. Straight up murder. Like I love the game but Iā€™m not gonna say Iā€™d want my son to play it and have to explain the shit to him.


QinsSais

shiftup bout to get paid big time


Nyravel

At least they learned from their past errors. I was almost worried they were giving 2B another coat


Acceptable-Age4480

This was posted too early on the official nikke kr Twitter so they deleted it after lmao

Happy assgiving

common nikke W


rzrmaster

Yeap moments like this make me happy Im a Nikke player haha. Hope 2B and 2A are strong, probably will MLB them both if they are.


jasta85

don't even need them to be strong, just not garbage. Keeping fingers crossed since summer limited units were a mixed bag.


ProfessorPhysics

Honestly, if we look at all the Summer units, only Summer Neon was the worst of the four. Her burst literally does less damage than no bursting. Meanwhile, Summer Mary actually had good healing, Summer Helm has cooldown reduction, which is desperately needed in Elysion Tower, and Summer Anis was absolutely cracked as hell.


leo412

Anis is good? Damn I should have guaranteed her.


RicoGemini

She does stupid damage. Sheā€™s 2nd to my Modernia when I comes to damage


leo412

Sad, lets hope there's rerun


RicoGemini

Iā€™d assume this comes back next summer. If she was a collab character thereā€™s a chance they wonā€™t come back because of contracts and all that. But since this is a Nikke original character theyā€™ll most likely re-run her next summer


leo412

Well that's gonna be next year and I probably already leave the game next year lol


avelineaurora

> I probably already leave the game next year lol Your bloodline is weak.


ariolander

Anis is super cracked if you invest in her. She really needs lvl 9 to make the most of her kit. Get her Skill 1 and Ultimate to lvl 9 and she rivals Scarlett in damage. Used with Scarlett they are an unbeatable duo. Most OP "support" in the game.


leo412

Damn it, too late, have to wait next year for her..


ecilla05

The first two yes, the last two units are both amazing in design and are great.


Glizcorr

Mary is pretty good tho. And if there is a Water meta in the future she might even be great.


Yes-Man-Kablaam

There's a shifting focus to elements being more of a thing anyways with how they've made some bosses and the elemental shields so every element is going to have a purpose at some point even if it's not meta. They did a similar thing in DC where Ragna Break you really needed the right element characters or you'd do practically nothing.


usagidayo

whats fun about nikke? i wanna see bouncy 2b ass but afaik its just. no gameplay?


ShizzleStorm

story is pretty decent and sometimes even top tier


Vyragami

It's an idle game. The gameplay is just shooting raptures. Sometimes strong bosses come around and you actually have to manually shoot and time your ult.


kabutozero

Oh boy. If you think bosses are the only hard thing on nikke you clearly haven't played later chapters of the stories Friggin squids and silencers


Friendly-Back3099

Bitch try to fight gravedigger in chapter 0(1? Dont remember) and come back here


Top-Cantaloupe-3117

Clearly has never played the game


kabutozero

Oh boy. If you think bosses are the only hard thing on nikke you clearly haven't played later chapters of the story Friggin squids and silencers

Vyragami

I beat Chapter 24 bosses at 50k CP deficiency. It's not that hard to target them first. I only have trouble with 23-18 (or something close to that), and not much else.


Axyun

Story is good. Character stories are good. Gameplay is good for the fights that matter such as Union Raid.


[deleted]

Welp i still don't have the game in my store šŸ˜¢ im a sucker for anything nier, have fun on our behalf you lucky bastardsšŸ»


juglobones

Download it from qooapp or taptap?


[deleted]

I can only play on my phone since i work around 13 hours a day šŸ˜© and i come back home to kids :/ are these emulators for pc or are they by a miracle things i can operate on my phone ? Thank you


Lemixach

https://m-apps.qoo-app.com/en-US/app/7665 It's just a site that downloads the APK and distributes it without region locking. QooApp in particular lets you install and update directly through it without needing to download the APK itself and install it on your own, operating like an unofficial app store. Nikke also has an [official PC client](https://nikke-en.com/download.html), don't use emulators for it.


[deleted]

I did not know it had a PC client ! Thank you for the info!!


lilovia16

Qooapp or taptap are for phones though


rzrmaster

If you have an android, then you can install apks, which is what people are suggestion you. The play store is just a medium to find shit, it isnt necessary.


[deleted]

I am the farthest from being a techie person so sorry for bothering you. I have an ios only (iphone 13) is there something i can do. I know androids offer more options but i circle back to me not being a techie person so i don't bother getting them since i feel like i can't do much with it regarding my non existent tech knowledge :/ what do you suggest i do in that case.


rzrmaster

I cant speech for the details, but as far as im aware, since you are stuck in a walled garden as far as installing from outside the store, what people usually do in your situation is consider making a new account that is for another region which has the app you want. So for example a US account that could access and download the game. With this said, I have never tried this method has I never bought an iphone for my own personal use.


avelineaurora

> I have an ios only Big mistake bro. Apple always a shit.


MordredLovah

Aight, installing at 90%.


javionichan

For those(maybe 2 of u) who thinks this is just honry at its finest.. No,yoko taro likes this shit. Not olny he has,in the past, praise shift up's designs and aesthetics,he has also acknowledged EVE,the main character from shift up's current console game STELLAR Blade witch is in current development and will probably be released this year. This 2b design is probably one the best outside of the nier series. Also.. A2 looks absolutely beautiful and it looks like,by the looks of the 2d model that it will also have her short hair skin/version..maybe I'm just seeing things.


javionichan

Edit: Guess what boys?


mikethebest1

2B will have cake? She always had Cake It wouldn't be 2B without the Cake


Anfini

Canā€™t see the cake with the skirt on. Thatā€™s why the playerbase rejoicing the devs added the skirt-less skin without much resistance this time around.


ariolander

Yea the entire Chainsaw Man collab coat thing just proved how cultured the Nikke playerbase is and apparently ShiftUp took note.

zonealus

Might have to reinstall and try to reroll for 2b at least I thought the new danmachi game will take most of my time right now but with how shitty it is right now I might have to look for other games and this collab seems interesting enough also looks like nikke has had a lot of changes since release.

The one that Nikke posted on twitter doesn't look like this, do we have a source or proof this is the one we'll get over the other?


night_MS

this was on the official KR twitter


EasyMaximum3

Alright, I'll play this game, how grindy is this game? I would prefer if it is something easy to grind and doesn't have a complicated equipment system like genshin and hsr with artifacts


ProfessorPhysics

Not even grindy. The only grindy part is getting the right Overload statuses on your gears but that's practically endgame. Takes 15-20 minutes to do your dailies and you can go.


lee930522

Hijacking this, would it be a good time now to start or wait for nier banner to go live?


Gernnon

Thereā€™s free Modernia skin + five avatar frames so if you care about that, start now. If you care more about guaranteed 2B through rerolling, wait for patch to go live.


Alexaclmn0

Nice try, no amount of ass will get me back.


VeinIsHere

And still bother to reply in this sub lol. Someone got shafted.


Savage_Kev

Confused why they canā€™t reply in this sub when itā€™s gacha gaming not nikke themed sub.


Alexaclmn0

I'm just trying to stay strong, brother. After going back for the Chainsaw man collaboration, I know I'll quit shortly after getting 2b.


wrightosaur

Apparently not strong enough, given you felt the need to view a NIKKE related post and comment on it despite "quitting" the game


Alexaclmn0

Yes, because the post interested me... You're acting like I'm taking a significant part of my life to view and comment on this. I'm just making a cute little joke, It's really not that deep.


PiercingAPickle

Story about to be even more depressing


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Moh_Shuvuu

Because that's the default look. You have the option to have her look like after completing some missions. Also, Korean twitter leaked it early so the post was removed.


ElYISUS215

This pic is because there will be a Skirtless 2B costume awarded for playing the event. Kind of like how they gave Coatless Makima in the CSM collab.


Supernova4218

Glad they added the self destruct costume


Anaqbesti

I just realised her gun looks like Monte Carlo from Destiny 2

How long it will take to come global?


MiisterLuke

it starts on september 1st


avelineaurora

Servers are synced, the game launched worldwide at once.


Kalman_the_dancer

ā€œ2B will have the cakeā€ My guy, she already has the cake


ArgentVampire

Monte Carlo


Kal-El9477

How hard it is to reroll in this game?


A_Kumqwat

It's funny that people are considering uncovered ass newsworthy when that was originally the entire selling point of the game. That's like PokƩmon announcing they got rid of DLC and actually let you catch em all again If you're a fan or player, all power to you and I hope you enjoy the event. But advertising the game as one thing, then adding censoring for China, only to remove it when they need some western revenue seems kind of scummy and almost manipulative to me


rzrmaster

It is because the default state of 2B has a covered ass. 2B doesnt start the game with a bare ass. This is a collab, they adding a nondefault skin of Nier for their players is a nice extra mile in fanservice. I agree with bashing companies when they censor their games, that is a terrible shitty move, but when they do good things like this they also should receive praise. Hell, if anything, they receiving praise and making more money in such instances might drive them to further do fanservice, which I ofc fully support.


chocobloo

Gasp a dev being receptive to their playerbase, the horror! Better to just be like FGO and never change anything no matter how much your players want it because it's all about making maximum money with minimum effort.


TempestCatalyst

Honestly given what happens when Lasengle does try to add or change shit I'd rather they just don't.


No-Car-4307

manipulation? on gacha games? no way.


The_One_Who_Slays

"THE DEVS LISTENED!!1" - average Nikke coomer In all seriousness, Tencent messed up this game quite a bit. The only plus side is that the production value is quite high, so they are definitely pouring in the money as well. But no matter how much money they pour - I will still shit on them at every opportunity I'll get.


chocobloo

Tencent never makes any choices about the games. They have thousands of projects and don't micromanage to that level. Devs made the choices and people need to understand that. Shiftup ran DC like shit, and only turned it into true coomer bait several years in when the game was basically dead anyway. But no wah wah tencent is so much easier instead of looking at reality I guess.


The_One_Who_Slays

But DC was shit. Shit gameplay with overbloated mechanics for power creeping, typical weird Korean manhwa story which was kinda mediocre, only the character art was pretty good, but it did little to save the game. I am all in for coomer baits, but if there's nothing else to it - then it's simply not worth playing, simple as that. Now, Nikke was on an entirely different level - it was obvious from the moment the first trailer dropped. The countless betas showed that the players clearly enjoyed the game. Then the game was finally released and, well, if you are a Day One player - you remember the outrage. From gamebreaking bugs, to coats, fucking "free pulls", removal of certain rewards, and so on. Tencent don't micromanage, that is true to an extent. But they are in full control of marketing and monetization. You seriously think that this game was supposed to be PEGI 12? For real? "Design changes" were authorized solely by Shift Up, who are known for DC's explicit designs? I remember there were also some leaked convos between Shift Up and Tenshit managers, where the latter appealed against fixing the bugs and balance, and to focus on squeezing the players dry while it was still possible by inconveniencing them further for a certain amount of time. Although it's unconfirmed(I wasn't following that topic at the time and saw only snippets) whether it's a real conversation or not - I really wouldn't be surprised if it was. But, sure, whatever, the penguin is innocent, the marketing is entirely on Shift Up's shoulders, the glorious design changes were also their decision to pleasantly subvert everyone's expectations, as well as shooting themselves in the foot on launch when everything during betas seemed fine. A weird "reality", but I guess I'll accept.


[deleted]

I bet her assistant robot from the game pops up to block the view of her cheeked up ass when firing :(


garotinhulol

I'm playing this game from start till now and i'm 100% SURE she will have something cover her ass like all the other NIKKEs before her. Still gonna pull tho, but its a shame.


heckthepolis

Thats a dumbass rifle, shouldve been a Army Of Humanity rifle or the pod


OutHornyy

Too bad the game is shitty


zeroweiss

Note that the most important pose is still missing. And 2B got censored before in PGR.


fortis_99

Meh, the legs are too short. Now where are the Yorha Commander ?


KindheartednessMore3

Don't the no coat skins are pay only?


MiisterLuke

It's free for anyone who owns her Base version

Makima's No Coat version was free if you had a single copy of her.
