Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts.
Margaret Mead almost certainly didn't say this. In fact, there are absolutely animals that take care of each other, and that can survive broken legs. However, I agree with the lovely sentiment!
those kind of messages made me cry so bad while finishing the game literally it's quite a unique feeling when you try so hard and encouragement messages comes after you failed and the song, it's such a special environment
To those that gave their saved files to save my sorry ass, thank you To the person who I got that message of encouragement, you helped me give it one last try To whoever I help out, im not much but I hope I can help as others did for me I never expected this game to break me so wonderfully
I replayed the shooter section after getting the platinum and finally sacrificed. I feel empty. Peaceful, but empty. If you encounter Kamui out there, make it count!
After the first play through I thought the story was aaight and ideas and themes were really cool. Route B made me fall in love. Wish I could delete my memories of it the same way as my save file.
Absolutely. after i finished the game i was down af for like 2 weeks but even today, the game is just exceptional. the music, the world, the story and the characters...god this game was great.
@@sergantawesomroute B didn't even do that for me. But route C is when it fully clicked. Seeing the difference in the world, 9s and the machines was eye opening.
No game ending ever had a stronger effect than this one. Other games make me scream, or cry, or feel happiness, but this game absolutely wrecked me in an emotional level that I still never recovered. Just listening to the song with the choir makes me tear up. What a masterpiece.
This song makes me tear up, not because of the meaning or the game itself, but because of the dev team singing the chorus. This was the developer's YOLO attempt to save the studio and they decided to make the game they wanted to make, rather than the game most likely to sell. The chorus shows just how much pride went into making this game. Good thing it paid off too because the game saved the really did save the studio.
While each version of the song is as if it's beign sung for 2B, 9S and A2 respectively, in this one when the choir starts singing it's as if everyone that appears in the story and all the players who gave their data join in for one final farewell......
I agree completely, it gave me chills that first time ever hearing the choir. Even seeing the names of the players helping me made me feel so connected with this game's world.
That was one hell of a ride to see and hear them resonate together i will never forget the moment when all these players wanted me to keem moving forward
@@timestopMachinist maybe he wanted to say that why the other Androids have to wear a mask and/or blindfold but the commander does not, which is a clue that the commander is not under human order since they do not exist anymore. However, we, players, failed to notice this until the late game or do not notice at all.
After played E ending, I couldn't stop crying from bottom of my heart. Without saying NieR : Automata is the world greatest game. 全ての存在は滅びるようにデザインされている
Absolutely. It's just a beautiful song, and it's meaningful in relation to the game and a whole part of the experience. I can't put it into words very well, but I agree.
ik.... i tried so many times solo and couldnt get pass half way ... they just blast you with everything and you have no room to dodge on time lmao!! i sacrificed my saved after i got true ending... my favorite part was when debola and popola stayed behind to hold the door
I wish I did finish the few quests I still had around. I was so close to 100% I didn't feel like deleting the save file just yet. I'm gonna do it tomorrow tho, I had to take a break from the game after ending E. There's no point keeping your useless save file there. That's the true ending.
Jeez i STILL can't STOP Crying .. its been 3 yrs and i still can't forget the unspeakable GiFT you all Left for ME. It gave me a new world view that maybe people are so heartless afterall. Those messages by you all. I will always remember in impossible unfair times. ThankYou for helping me out when i thought... For once in Life i can't do everything ALONE. I was such a ' i could do anything on my own, i don't need anyone ' that ending made me realise i am not so tough afterall. I cried like a Baby after i saw you all helping me through the impossible. Thankyou... Thankyou... Thankyou... ありがとう... ありがとう... ありがとう...
I was late to the party but I finally achieved ending E 2 days ago. When I found out that you could just buy trophies from the post-game shop, I was shocked. I have Plated a few games and they all required pretty much 80-100 hours at least to do so. That's when I felt like the devs of NieR didn't care if you are a grinder, a hardcore gamer, or just a casual player who wants to play it once to see the end of the story. All that mattered to them was that you had bought and played this game that they had poured their souls into making, whether it suited your taste or not. In the end, they all wanted to send us, who had spent time and effort completing this brilliantly made piece of art, their Final Words: "Thank you for playing". And when the Platinum trophy noti popped up with this song playing on my phone, I couldn't help but bursted into tears. No movies, songs, books or even games had broken me this hard. I'm definitely playing it again.

I've spent over a decade playing videogames, from the first Playstation till now. And really, REALLY, I think this single piece of music is something I've NEVER experienced before. I will carry Nier Automata with me till the end of my days because yes, I think I've never been touched so much and in so many ways from a media content (books, tv shows, music, movies...) more than from this game.
This and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater are total tearjerkers. It's strange how hearing the first notes of both songs makes me tear up immediately. Same story, 28 yo grown ass man crying while mopping the floor.
I've spent ALL 37 years of my life playing videogames (back to PONG, colecovision, NES) and can echo your statement this game and this franchise are THE greatest among them. In fact I'd say this game is the foremost example of human tragedy as expressed in our digital era.
What I would have loved is, during the end credits, the very last bits of the song with the chorus humming out the tune reveals the design crew in the studio singing. And after the singing ends, they wave, bow, and otherwise say thanks for planning. I always think of that when i hear this and just want to tell THEM thank you. One of the finest games ever made.
It's amazing how a game can connect the whole community with its ending credits. Even though I didn't get 100% I'm still glad I sacrificed my save to help someone complete the game and witness its true ending. If you're playing the ending credits, don't give up, there will always be someone there to help you :)
never play the game, but this song tells me that the game's creator and his crews put all their hearts and energy to create this legendary game. FULL RESPECT square enix
Pfft. Square doesn't even deserve to be thanked for THIS game. The people over at PlatinumGames and Yoko Taro are the ones that you should be thanking since they are the ones who actually made the game. I recommend you play the game and you'll know how much of a genius Yoko Taro is.
I have problems with crying, it's almost like I suffer of some kind of block and I grew up avoiding to cry to make myself appear stronger and that probably caused my problem. My life has being pretty strange lately, I have tons of doubts regarding my future and most of the days I'm convinced I'm just incompatible with living and I just wish I could let some stress flow with some tears...but today I listened to this song again, and the emotional response was so strong that it made me cry like I never cried in years, the soundtrack of both Replicant and Automata will always have a special place in my heart
I've finished the game for the first time today, going in completely blind of the story. I'm so happy I did, I never would have expected a credits scene to break me like this. I hadn't started to cry until I died once and saw the message from someone else, and each time more kept coming, it felt so amazing to have someone there even if they truly arent. The realization that someone gave up their save data just to have the chance to help you, a random person, experience the ending hurt me so much. I wouldnt know how much time they spent on their files, or if they had gotten 100% completion, but doing such a selfless act just to help someone else finish a game after everything feels so amazing to see. I couldn't not do the same after seeing it. I just hope I can have the same effect on someone as the one that helped me did. I'm sorry for the long read, but if you're here then I'm happy you at least took the time, and thank you. [2B and 9S put their lives on the line.] [Why? Because] [there's always light at the end of the tunnel.]
Houdai, I don't think you will ever read this message, but i still want to say: thank you for your help, the data you gave reached me and saved me in the most touching moment this game had. To you and everyone else who helped me ln my journey, thank you. Whoever my data reaches I hope it will be of help for them.
Even if it was pointless in the end, fighting a war nobody would win, striving for a future that'll probably never come, it was still good. Better to hope, better to believe that things one day shall change, even if we won't live to see it
I started my gaming back in the late NES era. While modern consoles and games have changed in many different ways, there is one thing that retro and current games can do... Bring a person to tears.
So, this song gives me chills once the chorus breaks in in the background. It kinda feels like as I sing, the whole community sings with me, and it's telling that the Chorus kicks in once you accept the help from other players. Finishing this game broke a lot of what I thought about Humanity as a whole, and started a whole new passion for Taro's games. Thanks for making this Game Taro, you'll never see this, but you changed my life. To the person who I helped, I hope I did some good before I died, and to all the people who deleted their save Data just to help a rando like me, Thanks, people like you are why I still have a little hope in Humanity as a whole.
In a world where video games are art, this one became one of many astonishing works, if not the most astonishing. The pride and creativity put into this is loved by many and cherished so much. It truly is a game everyone should play once.
Message to the Uploader :) Thankyou for your Gift aswell. I will cherish Video of Yours. I hope you are strong just like we all were when came out of the impossible. Just remember we all are close even if we think we are apart. NEVER GiVE UP and Glory to Mankind.
A few pieces of media have left me sobbing before...usually from sadness. This applies to NieR: Automata when 2B strangled 9S...even though he ended up being fine. Ending E though...Ending E made me cry in a way nothing else has. I sobbed yes. But not from sadness. The feeling was more hopeful...when Pod 153 asked if I wanted to save everyone...that set me off...and I continued crying through the credits. It gave me a feeling no other game did before...and I don't think any other game will make me feel the same way.
Something that hits home about this game, and by extension this song, is that there's the whole in-game narrative, but I think you could also look at it kind of like Undertale. Like, if you imagine that the whole resetting of the world is someone starting a fresh save file, and them going through stuff over and over, and the senseless destruction that follows, and the game tries to make you care about the characters (both the androids and the robots). If you care about them, the correct thing to do is to end that loop and set everyone free. Give someone else that help with your save file, and then move on. It's beautiful.
I wasn't expecting to get hit this hard by a game ending. I know it's unlikely the specific people who sacrificed their data to help me beat this game will ever see this comment, but thank you. I really started crying when I got hit and saw the deletion messages. Thank you. I hope that my data will do the same. [The world is full of hardships.][Even so...][The whole world is rooting for you.]
This is the only game scratch that. The only thing that can make me cry. I've have family die and I never even shed a tear but this song...this game...makes me remember I'm only human. And even the most emotionally damaged people still have feelings
I remember thinking the delete save data part was a joke, and then watching the game delete my stuff I was in shock. I wasn't mad though cause it was very unique.
I love the ending part of the song. Pure, untouchable, hope. After such great and long suffering, so much pain and sadness in a seemingly doomed situation, everyone comes together and creates a beautiful sense of hope. Not just the pods, but all the players across the world. It’s touching.
Thank to those that helped me get the final ending of this lovely and wacky game, Nier Automata truly is a one of kind game and I'm beyond happy that I played it through to the end. I hope someone gets helped by my saved data one day and feels the same.
I don’t care if there is an actual gameplay function to it, but I choose to believe that choosing to delete your save to save someone else results in you saving 2B, 9S, and A2. By deleting your save after the true ending you are breaking this hellish cycle once and for all and allowing the survivors to move on. Yes the lives that were lost can never be brought back, but thanks to the choice the players make, those who remain can truly live, unshackled by conspiracies and failures of the past, allowed to move forward by their own volition rather than the player’s command…
Like fuck, this song doesn't just bring me to tears, but makes me stop doing whatever I'm doing and cry. No other song, however brilliant ballad, did ever do this to me. Because of this game, which is all very tragic and absolutely beautiful and dramatic, and then the moment when you have to accept help, and then the devs choir kicks in, and... that's it. Yeah.
Hola Balarfax, vengo a agradecerte de todo corazón. Es gracias a ti que lo logré. Estoy convencido de que el mundo sería sin guerras con más personas como tú. No sé si alguna vez leerás esto comenta pero sé que siempre te llevaré en mi corazón. Gracias Balarfax, te deseo lo mejor en la vida.
As bad as the world is right now, arguments everywhere and people divided... let's do our best to stop a future where our world looks like this from happening. If you deleted your save I know we need more people like you with us.
I've cried so many times and no doubt I cried the shit out of it. Thank you players who sacrificed themselves to help me. I did the same too. To the player that receives both my message and help. Keep going. This applies to everything not just the game.

A game to play when you feel like you can no longer feel. That was my review of this masterpiece and I stand by it. Play replicant first for added effect.
Thank you for your sacrifice. This song was making me insane during the credits hacking sequence. Now I can enjoy this magnificent song in peace. GLORY TO PLAYERS.
@@larsnyman2455 Not really. Or rather there are more distinct details than that, that should be noted first. Glory to Mankind Hand across chest with open but straightened palm Shinzou wo Sasageyo Fist on top of your heart, while the other hand lays behind across the hip
The mos powerful thing of this song is how in the normal versions the song ends in an sad cycling part, but in this version de chorus sounds stronger and star to cover that part, the help has finally come.
This game is truly a masterpiece. From the story, the music, the characters, everything was amazing. I was seriously left there speechless after playing through the credits and tearing up knowing I’d likely never play a game of this quality again.
To ForgottenToast, I'm sorry... I forgot your name, all I clearly remember is Toast but I think that Forgotten was the prefix. You really helped me. With your help, and the help of many others, we gave our characters a happy ending. I won't forget you. I have you name written down. And I want to let you know that I shall carry on your sacrifice, by sacrificing my own save to help another player. May you make use of my save well. I await your success, unknown player!
There are a few games that I’d say have been instrumental to who I am as a person, and I am more than proud to say that I got to have this one emblazoned into my soul
