It is unavoidable to not see the nature of 2B’s design - despite hand wavy explanations detailing how the bottom half of YoRHa outfits are actually heat sinks (as evident by the fact that they blow clean off on a self destruct), the clear metaphorical nature of the “sexy maid” characters being servants to humanity, and the domme/sub archetype in relation to 2B and 9S’s companionship - as one of clear sex appeal. This is something that is reflected through the nuanced discussion points this game wants to ponder on and which we'll be analyzing today. Sex and relationships are complicated enough as subjects to think about and discuss in the real world, let alone in a video game. In this piece I will be exploring the first two, breaking down how the game explores the idea of sex in a physical capacity, as well as what the game has to say about relationships on an emotional level. NieR Automata is concerned with all types, from physical to emotional to spiritual. The connections we make with others - whether fleeting or lifelong - are intrinsic to being alive.Ĭonnections come in all forms. Today we’re going to talk about one specific theme explored through the game, both in- and outside of its existence Connections.Ĭonnections with other living beings are something we both take for granted and cherish dearly they are something we seek and something we sever, an acknowledgement of self and an acceptance of others. The cherry on top is that the androids are designed like cute waifus, but knowing Destiny Child, it doesn't mean that male androids won't be added into the game in future updates.Though superficially known for it’s Gothic inspired outfits, dramatic destruction of cute robots and 2B’s butt, NieR Automata harbours a profound exploration of many points of thought, from existential philosophy to analysis of identity. The development of battle androids gives us hope, as these soldiers will take on the invaders by every means possible. Nikke: The Goddess of Victory tells the story of a distant future where the humanity was driven underground by an invading alien race. These are the same companies that are also handling the global release of the much anticipated Genshin Impact-like MMORPG Tower of Fantasy. The Nikke: The Goddess of Victory global release will be published by Proxima Beta and Level Infinite, subsidiaries of Tencent. GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE March 7, 2022 Welcome to the official Twitter of GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE ? The reveal was made in March 2022 as the English social media pages went live, including the Twitter as you can see below. We now know that the Nikke: Goddess of Victory global release date is scheduled for 2022. As history tells us, Shift Up released Destiny Child in Korea first, followed by Japan, and only then the global release happened. However, with the release of the gameplay video that you can watch at the end of this post, things seemed to finally be moving along smoothly. The original announcement mentioned the plan for a global release in 2020, but that target is by and large missed.
