This is my telling of the disturbing story of Pascal from Nier Automata. Actually Nier has a bunch of sad and disturbing stuff, but I decided to just tell you this story, since it hit me the hardest…

  1. Pascal was my realest G 😭 I ain't never gon forgive those motherf#ckers for what they did to his people!! 😭
    …I couldn't evem kill him. 😔 I didn't have the strength to do it.

  2. I couldn’t bring myself to wipe pascal’s memories. Machines can’t rely on intuition like androids and humans can but what they lack in intuition they make up for in learning they will never make the same mistake twice but will if they cannot learn from it.

  3. Knowing this, I'd still delete his memories. Offing him permanently won't allow him to continue his legacy no matter how painful it is; If I were to kill him, that would be the pinnacle of his existence, and he would never have the opportunity to try again or strive harder for another chance to make a difference. Because if he dies, He can never try again to do right, if he dies, this is the best he will ever be… Saving him somewhat saves the soul, and allows him to honor the robot kids by reusing their parts to atleast honor existence.

  4. Fun fact: Everything is actually just an experiment. The peaceful machines were always linked to the network, but the higher ups simply decided to test out what emotion and humans are like, so they "supposedly" disconnected some of the machines from the network for a short period of time. Although this doesn't mean Machines can't have emotion, as they most certainly do. They are simply being held back by the upper network.

    In the 9S gameplay we saw small clips of some kind of being worshipping a "god" who, again, supposedly erupted out of an volcano. If you have played Nier:Replicans, you may be able to figure out that the so call "god" was simply a droid from the old world that was defeated by the protagonists thousands of years ago. That droid was later worshipped by the machines because it was the first true machine who gained the ability to think for themselves (aka emotions). Upon awaken from the "volcano" (Junkyard), he flew high up in the sky before blessing all nearby machines with the same ability to construct thoughts, which is what ultimately led to the conflict with the aliens and machine network.

    Back to the topic of experiment… The desert machines represented religion, forest represented family (I think), and the amusement park represented joy. Thus, just like the opening statement of 2B at the beginning, everything is simply just a endless cycled. They were never truly free nor will they ever be. However, for a network as a whole, they are more human than they are just random wires and metals.

    Edit: Okay maybe not so fun of a fact. For more information, please check out EruptionFang's video.

  5. I just have to ask at the end of the game. How do the androids move forward? They figured out that their creators died. The machine lifeforms creators died What do you do after that your purpose, it just doesn’t exist anymore they gain sentience, I’d like to see how they go about their path of understanding the universe around them fucking machines only or maybe 🧐they encounter life form that human like in and learn more complex emotions like confusion or frustration, or dejection, or desire,

    understanding, love and hatred is so basic you can just not like something a lot or just really like something you can meet the qualifications for those 2 love is a bit more complex because it’s almost always conditional but frustration is a really difficult emotion to reach you need to essentially get tired of something. How does an android get tired of something? Confusion is the process of acknowledging that you don’t understand something or that you know enough about something to be confused by it have android, ever encountered some thing that generates a sense of confusion like you should know, but you don’t.
    Desire not a need, but a want to do some thing I think they demonstrate it before, but have you ever been intelligent enough to acknowledge that something is a desire not a necessity and still push through with the feeling anyway like where the fuck do they go after the world went to shit I mean the environment probably in the best condition it’s ever been in a while look at a green those buildings are but still what do you do?💀
