wait.... hang on. I just barely realized this cloth the Lunar Tear is wrapped in is one of Yonah's ribbons....
#NieRReincarnation
The new "Alternate" Nier that just dropped in NieR Reincarnation seems to have some really on the nose imagery.
A "lone wolf" from a branch of events where he's all alone and doesn't even remember the significance of the Lunar Tear (Yonah, Kaine).
@zorb11s Real quick, tis speculation based on:
-Overseers heavily allude to One, replicate via ribs, similar "hair bands", twins
-Appearance data seems to be shared to a degree with Machines/YoRHa
-Adam and 2P also replicate via their ribs, like One
-N2 and 2P turn into False Idol
*puts on monocle🧐* "the symbolism of Intoner One having such intensely powerful senses that she's sometimes overwhelmed by what she can perceive/know vs. YoRHa 2B covering her eyes to symbolize her ignorance or whatever"
Beginning to really dawn on me that we fought a literal, boss-fight, personification of the Cult of the Watchers symbol.
Like, obviously The False Idol is very on the nose, literally The Forged God. "Possessed by Disease" plays. But also 2nd phase is two One look-a-likes fused.
The forgotten Kimihiko Fujisaka designed, protagonist. It's too bad her game didn't get a proper finish, i liked her in the FFXV crossover.
