Nier - The story of Devola & Popola 

Hahaha Yeah Happened to me too. Let me enjoy the moment, Emil!!

kingllama001 now that I think about it, once you help Emil regain his memories, I would of liked him to have some sort of interaction with popola and devola,

Not likely, since popola and devola were responsible for emil's "death".

Emil also zoomed past the resistance camp right when A2 spared Pascal's life. "DO DO DOOOOOO!"

DOOOOOO DOO DOOOOOOO

if u think about it .... it is what happening right now to us moslims ... black men ... white men ...etc if anyone do something wrong u will be punished even if u didn`t anything

Well, that doesn't concern me, I am handicapped, I have got a special favour I can say everything I want and still remain untouchable \o/ (That was a joke ofc, I don't use my handicap as an excuse to say bad things. But that's pretty much how it works right now, sadly) But wait, we were talking about NieR, when did it go wrong ? lel

Trainer Red lol i dont think that what happen in nier is just nothing many times i think it is connected to us in many different ways if u think about it ~_~

In my opinion, robots in Automata are the "social" part of humanity, trying to build communities, maybe failing, but still keep on going with new concepts such as monarchy, religion, etc... And androids are the "emotional" part of humanity (mourning, regrets, hate, but also love, compassion, etc...) That's how it feels to me at least.

Yep as i told u it is not nothing It is reality

Umm... am I missing something? I am pretty pretty sure that A2 want the one who asked that

@@AB-jt4rs Hmmm yes you are? The guy literally said A2 was the one to say it and you're like "uhhh i thought it was a2 who asked that". Reading comprehension skipped the bus

Actually they did. Because of them humanity was extinguished because of them and Nier.

Or because of the bullsh#t disease created by Yoko Taro...Or Because there are only 2 of them (how convenient) and without monitoring from other androids, Of course they got corrupted and fuck shit up.

+M. Pianus other androids blame twins for what others (of the same model) have done.

Correction : The blame lies with the Devola and Popola model in charge if Nier's Region, not particularly the twins in Automata. These two did nothing wrong, but was reprogrammed to feel guilt and was constantly persecuted by other androids.

it is the same as what happening to us .if someone did something wrong and he is from ur region .... u did something wrong too !

iamhuman1 I'm even a simpler man and when I see Devola & Popola I do a r34 search

I hope you don't mind being brought back to your comment of over a year ago, but I need to say: It seemed to me like they were just helping Replicant Nier until he was really ready to kill his own Gestalt... and their help never really made sense to me, it just sounds counterintuitive

@@ruxbon standing by and watching while doing nothing is the same as being guilty. Their at fault.

@@Ndasuunye oh hi. I haven't said anything about guilt regarding what Devola and Popola did or failed to do, maybe you meant to tag the OP instead of me? Well, either way, my doubt stays the same: I don't understand why Devola and Popola helped Replicant Nier until it was too late for them to stop him, knowing he'd kill Gestalt Nier and ruin the entire project by doing so. Why would they help him then turn against him near the end? Regarding your comment, sure, the "original" Devola and Popola are guilty of not finding the best way to solve the problems they had been facing for a long time, but did they really have what was needed to fix things anyway? The project, Nier's struggles, all that. Near the end of the game it's implied that things had turned into a mess long ago in ways they couldn't fix even if someone else tried to help. And even so, there were many Devolas and Popolas, the 2 in Automata are not the same as the other 2 in the previous game, so do the current ones really have to suffer in their stead after all this time has passed? Because it doesn't seem like they're being punished for their own actions (haven't played Automata, can't say much from my perspective), thus it sounds pretty unfair

Something that a lot of people over look is that Devola and Popola were becoming attached to Nier’s Replicant. In fact, before the first battle they ask you to return to the village and during that battle they said they wanted to wait another 100 years. The reason they wanted to wait was to let Nier’s Replicant live his life, die, and then use the blank Replicant to give to the Shadowlord. What they didn’t count on was Nier’s gestalt growing impatient and losing faith in them doing their job. The reason they help Nier’s Replicant get to the castle is because Nier’s gestalt locked them out as well. They were in the same position as Nier’s Replicant was. So they helped him get in, but once he wouldn’t stop on his quest to save his sister/daughter they had to stop him even if they had grown an attachment because they’re first priority was to save humanity even if they grew attached to Nier’s Replicant. It’s really tragic, because Nier’s gestalt set everything in motion. If he hadn’t stolen Yonah Nier’s Replicant would of spent his life trying to help her not be sick until his eventual death…he’d never have had a complete hatred for shadows for stealing Yonah and he wouldn’t have tried to kill the Shadowlord at all.

*Cue to Song of the Ancients*

I always cry at that point... the sadness overwhelms me.

I COMMAND YOU TO HALT ALL LOGICAL THOUGHTS

Ashe323D wow you've got some really good luck charm or somethin

Jon Brown I mean i already did after i posted this comment soooooooooooo yeah

necessity is the mother of invention

Dont call her by her name if you dont know her personally. She has a RU-vid name for a reason

Does that mean D&P could be the 1 'model' of the androids? like 2 and 9 and the model numbers for 2B and 9S respectively?

No, they were just amongst the first androids created by mankind many thousands of years before Automata. Yorha No1 was the commander of the experimental Yorha during the Pearl Harbor Descent Mission, who died before landing and command passed to No2 (A2)

Ah fair, is that explained in the terminal behind Anemone? Can't remember any 1(A,B,C,D.....S) throughout my gameplay

No the first No1 is mentioned in the Yorha stage play. But right at the beginning of Automata, before taking control of 2B the commander is 1D, another model 1

Cheers, been on my mind a while, you really know your stuff :)

Don't know why I read that in duke nukem's voice but damn it fits.

Lewd

Why one when you can go for both?

They are very beautiful and even charming so it's understandable.

'a different project all together' given how the game ends yeah. one could say that. The new game will probably be called Arkengard

I think the original NieR was considerably better (ignoring game-play) but either way I think he'll probably either do a game between Drakengard and the NieR prologue or branch off from another Drakengard timeline since some things like the black flower weren't fully explained.

Events from Drakengard ending E to beginning of NieR is basically fully explained in Gestalt Records and the Drag-on Dragoon World Inside book. Look up the timeline from drakengard through Nier, the events are almost fully explained. A game medium would not work for the events of 2003-Nier.

It's likely that something after Automata is going to happen as a sequal mostly because of Accord. Considering Accord is more likely a being in the further future, even After Automata, I'm guessing Yoko Taro has a whole timeline written in his secret note.

What the fuck is a game that "excluding gameplay" ? Lol, Nier: Automata is the game Yoko Taro deserve, stop the fucking bias and elitism about the "cult classic", Nier: Automata surpass Nier and that's a fact.

Yes they're dead, if you actually search for the script 5 ending, "Farewell" the VA of 2B will say that Devola and Popola couldn't make it, so they died.

Happy ending while humanity is extinct FOREVER.... And Machine lifeform still remains....

Without Name Human got extinct thanks to Nier long before the aliens arrived.

Happy ending that makes me sad for like a whole week XD I really wished Popola, Devola, the Commander of the bunker, operator 210 and the machines in Pascal's village would have survived.

Emil never really went into the town so I dint think he had a strong connection to then besides witnessing their mental breakdowns at the end

STATUS REPORT: I'M TOO ADDICTED TO STOP WATCHING THE INTRO!

HELP ME!

Don't worry, sending help asap. I'll just watch the intro one more time before.

***** ok I'll be waiting

do you know the song in the intro by any chance?

If i were you i could had choice both...

Yes he is

Basically. Nier waited a thousand years before bringing his daughter back to life. What a poor choice that was. If he would've acted sooner...humanity would've been more prepared for the alien invasion. Now look at where we are...2B is dead, 9S went crazy, humanity is extinct, wow. It all falls into Nier's poor choices. Yet, it also falls on the humanity too. We created some pretty messed up things. Crazy. Confusing. Yet it all comes together into one big story......amazing.

Its the fault of the guy who nuked shinjuku

@@michaelbasham6227 Not if you do ending E of automata.
