Ages ago, on some stream (I think it was after homies?) there was a talk about that, and Sel said that the endings would show us some of the previous events but from the girls point of view and how that played out, or something among those lines (it's been quite some time ago, so, maybe there is someone who remembers better?).I sometimes wonder how these individual 35 heroine endings are going to pan out without falling short.
From time to time we have updates that don’t really seem to go anywhere, and you’re telling me we are supposed to have more endings than NieR Automata? How many events are planned to properly reach just one ending? One update per ending?
(Also it feels strange to consider Io and Uta’s endings separately; so are Wakana and Osako’s. Can be done though)
I guess I just don't want these 35 endings to be only a little bit more than what 35 CP animations have to offer. I accept all kinds of endings as long as sufficient amount of events with decent development are used to get there, but the scale of this (and also the scale Sel set for himself) is so big...
A direction I don't know if I would like or not is Sensei finding himself in a nexus of time place where he views the future possibility of him being with each girl, like watching slide shows through windows; he just looks at what it would have been but without setting his mind straight to achieve it. It'd be cool but kinda cheap at the same time, definitely desensitizing the importance of these endings both to each girl and to him.
Btw, occasionally I think instead of romance-focused like all other endings might be, Osako's own ending is actually her knocking Sensei into a permeant coma by accident during a karate practice (the Veggie Ending).
