* In ''Ver 1.1a'', [=9S=] hacks into Emil and catches glimpses of his memories, including [[VideoGame/{{Nier}} all of the people he met over 10,000 years ago]], further driving home how crushingly lonely Emil has been. The use of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuRaSC_0wsY Emil's theme song]] makes this brief scene all the more heart-wrenching.

* ''Ver 1.1a'' shows the disastrous Pearl Harbor mission in horrifying, animated detail. As countless machines close in on the hopelessly outnumbered Resistance and [=YoRHa=] squad. Three of Lily's friends are vaporized by lasers right in front of her, while the rest of the squad decides to stay behind in a [[HeroicSacrifice Heroic]] LastStand to buy No. 2, No. 4, Rose, and Lily time to get into the machine server facility, all with Lily desperately wishing the horrors she had just witnessed were just a bad dream. Then, things go awry in the server, leaving Rose mortally wounded and sending Lily back to the exit. Lily, [[SurvivorGuilt convinced everybody else dying is her fault]], attempts [[DrivenToSuicide to shoot herself]], but is stopped by Rose, who tells her the only way she can save everyone is to never forget what happened and engrave her friends into her memory. Rose then takes Lily's pistol and replaces it with her assault rifle, a callback to Lily being dissatisfied with being armed with such a weak weapon and [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor wishing for a more powerful gun]] like her friends are armed with. Upon exiting the facility before it explodes, presumably taking the lives of everybody else, Lily can only only promise to never forget her friends as she [[SkywardScream screams and fires her rifle in the air]] in despair.

*** In a meta sense, its fate by the time the weapon reaches 2B's hands, given it used to be Caim's ''Dragonslayer'' and Nier's ''Hymir's Finger''.
-->'''LetsPlay/TheDarkId:''' Unfortunately, as that weapon history has implied... Iron Will has been out of commission for a while. Caim has been dead for over 10,000 years and Papa Nier got wiped out of existence millennia ago as well. It hasn’t been getting its murder on all this time. There’s not a lot of people to kill in the afterlife, as it turns out. As a result... the poor thing has tragically rusted into complete shit. Even if we upgraded it to Level 4, not even the sage blacksmith Masamune can do anything for the old boy. This is it. This is Iron Will now. A rusted hunk of dull iron. This might be the most tragic thing in all of ''[=NieR=]: Automata''.

-->'''9S:''' Ah...so that's where you were...[[TogetherInDeath 2B.]]
** The fact that 2B and 9S meet roughly the same ends; smiling, thinking of eachother and even saying the other's name with their dying breath, while being granted release by A2 (albeit unintentionally in 9S's case) from not just the Logic Virus but the unrelenting agony of what their lives and relationship had become. As mentioned above, 9S seems to anticipate joining 2B in death, and should you turn down Adam's offer to join the Machines' venture into space, [[GoOutWithASmile he gladly does]] [[TogetherInDeath just that.]] Even when the main trio is brought back to life by the Pods and given a chance at living without having to fight, suffer and die for [=YoRHa=] any more, there's still a ''lot'' for 2B and 9S to talk about and work through considering everything about their relationship and 9S' potential still-lingering contempt for 2B deep down and PTSD from, well, [[TraumaCongaLine everything]] he went through/learned in Route C.
** Even though it's the least bleak of the endings and it also doubles as a heartwarming moment, Ending E has other players [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing their save data]] to help you get through the credits mini-game. Whenever any of them [[TakingTheBullet take a hit]] for you, you will get a message of "[[PlayerPunch [Player Name]'s data has been lost]]". Considering how difficult the sequence is alone, you will likely see this message more than once. While it ultimately results in a [[EarnYourHappyEnding happier ending]], much like [[VideoGame/{{Nier}} Nier]] beforehand, many sacrificed their being to get you there.

* This game offers a hope that Humanity got its shit together after the colossal failure of the Project Gestalt in the previous game, and escaped Earth just because the aliens were planning to overrun the planet. 9S's route puts a hard stop on that, informing that ''no'', Humanity didn't make it.

* Pascal, the pacifist machine, having his village killing each others due to the logic virus, successfully securing the children only for them to kill themselves because Pascal taught them fear which drove them to suicide. His last request to A2 is to either kill him or wipe his memories.
