1. No. It's the ending where you choose to save her. It's probably the only proper final, true ending, for that matter. 
2. Yeah, that's very similar. Although I believe Nier has the advantage, character-wise.

1. I still saw that coming too lol
2. I disagree, but I do admit Emil is a damn interesting character. I wish more levels in the game brought up details about his back story, I read all of his files in the game, he could be a game on his own. :-O

Either you're lying, you don't know the implications of the ending, or you spoiled it for yourself.

You seriously anticipated the game nuking your save file and making it impossible to choose the same name for your character for every following playthrough? 

When you got to the end of Playthrough 3, and you pick Kaine's death ending, it's pretty obvious that the other choice leads to your death.

As for her having the meltdown that causes her to cease existing, after she had the meltdown the first time in the game, I knew at some point she would have it again. So I kinda knew Kaine was going to have an ending where she became one of those things. I didn't know it would lead to her no longer existing, nor did I know this would be a part of the ending, but I expected her to die. So yes, I expected all the endings.

The ending for Playthrough 2 was only an extended cut of ending A, so......overall I wasn't really impressed with the endings to the game.

BTW, I googled the ending just to refresh my memory, and....I didn't know Nier takes place after the true ending to Drakengard (Ending E). Apparently Nier takes place after ending E in Drakengard, and Drakengard 2 takes place after ending A. Kinda makes me appreciate how convoluted Drakengard was.
