Been playing more of NieR. I think I'm like 80-85% through the game. I can't believe they have a chick in this game (Kaine) that goes into battle wearing freakin lingerie and high heels. What the fuck? lol. Not only that but she has one of the most vulgar tongues in all of gaming history ("I'll tear out your eye sockets and piss in them" or "you're going to die today shithog").
And what's more mind boggling is that her choice of clothing doesn't match her personality whatsoever. You'd think that she's supposed to be this seductive flirty siren with the way she dresses. But in reality she is a very aggressive, intimidating woman. I know that she's a hermaphrodite (this isn't a spoiler. It was known before the game's release that Kaine was a hermaphrodite) and her scantidly clad dress is supposed to be her way of exaggerating her femininity (since she is a hermaphrodite and is therefore insecure about her femininity). But for someone that so badly wants to be feminine, she sure doesn't act feminine with all that aggressive, intimidating behaviour and her excessive vulgarities! This leads me to believe that her attire is really just nerd fantasy fan service for otaku perverts (like me) and not necessarily a way for her to overcompensate.
Apparently if you want to get a fuller picture of the story, you have to play through the game at least three times or something. I don't believe I'll be doing that. Aside from new cutscenes and endings, the repeated playthroughs are exactly the same as the first playthrough apparently and you don't get to carry over your levels, equipment or anything like that.
