NieR: Automata Devola & Popola Final Stand

[@ziiichu]

If you chose choice 2 support Devola’s body. you'll get this "As long as we have bodies to support one another… As long as I have someone with whom to share my fate… Then I will press on, no matter what happens to me. Because I won’t ever stop protecting her. I won’t stop. *No one stops.* For that is the fate we twin androids have been assigned."

True. The Black Flower that SPAWNED the flower is the ULTIMATE ULTIMATE source of all the bullshit, but... That just kinda seems to exist. Or the gods of the Drakengard world made it because... I dunno, the Drakengard gods just seem to be absolute dickheads.

[@speedfire008]

I kept shouting "NO!! NOT AGAIN!!!" in the background... i was furious... but then i heard ballad of the twins and they ran past 9s which basically made my day. I was so happy and felt welcomed when i played this game because they kept throwing references to the first one which i fucking loved. I loved it so much that i would just stand anywhere in the map just to hear the songs. It is also the first game that actually made me shed tears for it's casts. I was happy that nier automata also got those things right.

[@dianexxx6760]

I honestly do not understand who the hell they are and I only started in nier automata so I dont know wtf is going on with thier story. while they said that the first nier is only for ps3 and i guess i wont be able to play it.

Man, the perfect juxtaposition between the twins dying to stop the protagonist in NieR, and now dying to help them, and reconcile their entire line of models, is so good it's heartbreaking. This scene emotionally destroyed me when I first played through, and this wasn't even the climax. I'm sad for all you who didn't play NieR (the original) because you are just not gonna experience this scene in the same way, and that is tragic.

[@ferndiesel]

It's really impressive how they manage to find ways to subtly reinforce the "everything is doomed to repeat itself" message they've spun

[@niceguy60]

Reading what they went through and knowing how it ends makes me cry. In my opinion I believe the androids can best preserve humanity by taking our place and rebuilding

[@skullofrebellion6653]

If the Androids and Machines put their differences aside, they could remake humanity. Though all the original humans were lost from the Gestalt Project, and the Replicants have been wiped out. They still have the information of the old world. They have the will to want to live. Pascal showed that the machines could live off the network. That they could grow to understand each other without it and gain a soul. Adam and Eve showed that the machines can evolve. They can become more human. Though humanity is gone, it doesn't mean the remnants of humanity cannot continue on in their place. 2B, 9S, Yohra, and the machines showed they were human plenty of times, even when they didn't understand what that meant.

[@DevDreCW]

Isn't there still DNA that exists on the moon?

[@niceguy60]

No what ever genetic material that is on the moon could not be salvaged to recreate humanity, the androids actually tried and failed to use this method. Humanity is just 100 percent gone for good. It's errie exploring humanity lost civilation in this games, walking up a broken escalator in a structure that use to be a shopping mall thousands of years ago for a species who is long extinct. The folly humanity made is putting all effort into saving the existing population instead of preserving genetic material that could be used to recreate humanity anew. Devola and Popala would have been better suited for this task. Unfortunately humanity bad decides to use the crazy elaborate replicate Gestalt method which failed miserably. I mean the freakin cloned replicate were living being and the plan was to essentially steal their bodies to make room for someone else mind, I mean WTF man. What I am wondering now is that are the more advanced Yorha android now all gone due to the destruction of the bunker. Are there more Devola and Popala still operational. I felt real sorry for Devola and Popala reading all the shit they went through only to die in the end as a penance for something they themselves did not commit.

[@skullofrebellion6653]

When I say their data is on the moon I don't mean for the machines to recreate humans, I'm talking about analyzing the server on the Moon that held the remaining information on humans that Devola and Popola sent there. Though there's probably enough data still on Earth for them to learn more of humanity. As we saw with the machines, they were evolving. They were becoming more human the further you went through the game. When they disconnected from the Server they had to learn how to communicate with each other through words and actions, making them even more human. They wanted families. They adopted brothers, sisters, and even children. With Yohra's destruction I believe the remaining Androids and Machines can try to coexist. Once again, seeing how they were able to befriend Pascal I have high hopes that more machines will find that peaceful meaning in their lives. However, we also saw that crazy cult of machines and alot of pure evil machines aswell. Just like humans, the machines are so varied in personality and how they react to others. Ultimately I feel they will end up destroying themselves in the end which is sad, but it feels very likely. Though if Adam and Eve were to try and unite the machine kind, there's a chance maybe not? And this isn't even mentioning the remaining Resistance Androids and the Yohra types. Could they ever truly coexist after the years of killing each other's friends and loved ones?

[@PeteandRepeat1]

I think most of the machines are gone in NIER Automata's endings anyways--either destroyed when the tower broke apart or left Earth to find a new home for themselves. Surviving androids, however, have proven that they can evolve.

[@xx-oceanman-xx317]

when i first played through automata i felt sad but didn't really understand everything in this scene but after replicant i am now heartbroken and devastated, devola and popola deserve so much better ;-;

We all can have hope that other twins around the world have better fate than this two in Automata and Replicant.

[@UpwardNinja]

Just think of it as a new route. After playing replicant did you go through automata again?

[@abirbinhabib7669]

its even more sad when you realize it wasn't devola and popola's fault to begin with and they had nothing to atone for.. they were just scapegoats

[@BlooCerix]

That part around 1:44 where you defeated the enemies to the beat of the music was 👌👌👌

[@TLiebCNV]

This hits different after playing the Nier Replicant Remake for the first time. I remember playing automata during this part and didn’t really get the whole reason why they needed to atone. I read their story though and it touched my heart. But now that I beat Nier replicant, I feel so sorry for them and everything they went through

[@RockLeeBl]

Right? In that way, playing Nier or Nier Replicant before Automata is higly rewarding, because you can get the whole experience. Not only with Devola & Popola, but also with the Project Gestalt archives, Emil's side quest, the Library inside the tower, etc.

[@Noctis2525]

The best thing is, in Automata the same way the player, after playing Replicant, assumes they're about to attack 9S and they don't, is exactly the same discriminatory attitude they faced their whole lives. Just because of the Devola and Popola from another town.

NieR: Automata is a near flawless game, but so many things about it are incapable of being understood unless you played the other two games. My first playthrough, neither of these two ever stood out to me, becuase I never played NieR. Their entire motive was completely null because I didn't even know there were prior NieR games, which is my issue with anthologies with direct ties, which many popular Japanese games tend to be. I still don't know who these two are, anyhow

[@AxisKoi]

For standalone automata players, the twins were medic, scorn upon by others, badass fighters in the end. And to make up for "The Past Mistake" *music playing with lyrics*, they wanted to make this "right" by helping 9S. When they stand infront of the door 9S trying to break into, players will linked to "movie/drama/anime" scene where they going to turn into bad guys. For both NieR/Drakengard series players, it have brought flashback memories to the previous series and I started to read back what I played few years back.
