Yoko Taro Critiques Plato & Aristotle

[@orgate3953]

Plato actually talks about temperance being a condition of other virtues in Laws :)

[@stillgameandmusic]

I searched for philosohical interpretation of Nier because This Game really made me think and it’s just such a masterpiece that I even wanted to write an essay about it. And then I found you and your Videos, they are great! Thx for sharing

[@SocraTetris]

Thank you, stillgameandmusic! These videos feel like they were forever ago, but they're still special to me. Glad you have been enjoying them

13:46 - ....Ah. So _this_ is why fishing's in the game. I get it now :^)

[@HamonADraek]

I'm happy anytime Aristolian Ethics is talked about.

[@christiantaylor1495]

It annoys me how so few people talk about Plato 1728. They talk about the SPOILER ending E and how futile it feels, but for me, playing as Plato feels absolutely soul crushing. Even in the fight where you are finally winning, you malfunction and end up being beaten to oblivion. Then you have to fight the kamikaze bots? And Plato is laying there, helpless, defeated, yet again, and never had a chance. I also interpret it as what life is like with a disability. I have a disability, and that's how I have felt: you try 10x harder but get get 10x less results, and every challenge in life is so unfair. Absolutely brilliant side story. ❤ Plato 1728

[@SocraTetris]

it was one of my favorite parts of the game, and i think not many people who got the dlc spent the time to read into the story. I'm on the autism spectrum, so the whole idea of having a focus and being ridiculed/hampered by society because of it resonated with me.

This channel is underrated

[@SocraTetris]

Thank You, Green Skull! Feel free to shamelessly promote me around the internet! Lol

[@SocraTetris]

Ty again! And more Nier videos are coming around holiday season. I havent covered all the philosophers in the game, so I cant very well leave it incomplete!

[@noctis2641]

@@SocraTetris I'll keep an eye out gonna leave the bell on check some of the other vids too in the meantime

3:40 lmao they act like me in the game lets gooooooooooooooooo

[@HxH2011DRA]

Did you see the promotional art for the DLC? It was OOF

[@SocraTetris]

I did not! Hold on

[@SocraTetris]

I dont think I'm finding what yourr talking about. Can you shoot it to me on fb or on the patreon?

[@HxH2011DRA]

SocraTetris sure sure

[@HxH2011DRA]

SocraTetris ok my mistake it was the "become as gods" edition with this art work. Still think it's very special! (Hint: look closely throughout the water) goo.gl/images/gXsLdd

[@SocraTetris]

The name is really strong. But in terms of the artwork, I was a little disappointed with it. Because its the idle pose for 2B and 9S posed up against something. But I suppose they needed something that avoided spoilers. ... I would have approved of an Adam and Eve hugging in a sensual pose. THAT! would have gotten the Americans' attention

[@ekadria-bo4962]

Is this series will continued?

[@SocraTetris]

Yes! I do have more planned for NieR. Not next Saturday, but the saturday after that.

[@ekadria-bo4962]

Nice to know that. Look NieR : A is very philosophical. Hmm..

[@SocraTetris]

If you haven't, please take a look at my previous series on the original nier. The original game is also very philosophical, in a more subtle way

[@ekadria-bo4962]

Bro, how to acces DLC arena?

[@SocraTetris]

Once you've bought thw dlcs, progress through the stories and find the 3 elevators hidden throughout the map. Flooded City, Desert, and Forest Kingdom. They become available under different conditions, but are not hard to access

[@ekadria-bo4962]

Where i can buy it?

[@omniscientomnipresent5500]

Doesn't even have the game but this story is nice.

[@SocraTetris]

Well thanks for watching even though you haven't played :)
