You haven't gotten to a save point yet.

You won't be able to save until you're past the demo a bit. Also one of the reasons folks shouldn't start off with hard.

The section up 'till then doesn't have a save point, so you need to do it without dying.
After that, save zones are pretty much everywhere.

Edit: fuck that i just died at the boss of the demo part and have to re do an hour of progress :|

-_- I played through the whole first section, and since it isn't finished installing, I can't save and have to start the whole section over tomorrow.

Is it me or is the game a bit harder than the demo? Also, lol'd at them making the skirt longer.
It was cool of them to include the message that says the saving is manual and not auto, play the game to know how to do it. Yakuza should've done the same imo. Some of the newcomers didn't know that and lost a bit of progress after their first session.

Enemies definitely hit harder on Normal than they do in the demo. I'm also pretty sure the dodge timing is much stricter as well.

I'm torn between this and Horizon. I'm leaning towards this though, might pick it up later this week since I have a long weekend and nothing planned.

Too much goodness for one day! Where to start?!
Lucky devil!
Two of the very best games in years.
We're all spoiled right now.

Yeah, I think they are right. I just reached the first open area and soon I'll be in desperate need of more healing items.
Yep, the dodge timing is slightly stricter. Hard also does more damage, similarly.

I said wow
So happy people outside of Japan can finally play this masterpiece! Enjoy, y'all

Good to hear. I thought Normal was too easy and Hard was too hard in the demo.

Just barely scratched the surface (3 hours) and I can already tell its gonna be special like the first Nier.
Blissful Death. Weight of the World also gets a special mention.
I played the demo and while I thought the core gameplay was pretty great and flowed really nicely I didn't find the scenery or the enemies interesting at all. How much variety is there in those departments of the game? I'm definitely intrigued by the game but if it's mostly just grey robots and environments you can count me out. Haven't played the original Nier, but I heard that's not required(?).
1.Forest Kingdom
2.War to War
3.Grandma Destruction
4.Copied City
....i really just want to recommend the whole soundtrack but those are the ones i have replayed the most, 1 being the most
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Really? I only skimmed over the controversy threads but I got the impression they wouldn't make concessions. Not that I really care, but it's surprising to hear that. Anyway game is downloaded, but I'm trying to finish Horizon first.

Really wanna support this game at launch given Platinum's titles tend to criminally undersell, but being broke + having Horizon, Watch Dogs 2, Gravity Rush 2, Rise of TR, Witcher 3 DLC, and The Last Guardian all in my possession already and needing to be played means I'll likely wait a couple months for once. I'll probably look to scoop this (and Mass Effect. And Nioh. And Persona. Been a great season for gamers, but, sheesh) up around the beginning of June 😭 Nice problem to have, I guess.

In no particular order really.
1. Sound of the End (it's spectacular where it's used ingame. Builds so much anticipation)
2. Blissful Death (Whenever you hear this, you know the consequences were massive)
3. The End of YoRHa (Melody of all 3 versions of Weight of the World)
4. Amusement Park
5. Wretched Machinery
Of course, all the returning tracks/arranges are also amazing
It's definitely harder than the demo. One of the biggest changes is how the auto healing chip works as that one now got a small delay and cool down
Masked Man
I said wow
"Voice of No Return" is unreasonably gorgeous.
Also shoutouts to "Pascal" for being infectious and adorable. Yay for syncopation!

It's not confirmed but it's pretty obvious. I noticed it cause I wanted to see if she pushing back the camera (like she does in the demo) has a trophy or not (Lollipop Chainsaw had one) and I can't get a peek at all lol
It's seems like they've taken out that animation as well.

Voice of No Return, all the Birth of a Wishes, Pascal's theme, and Weight of the World have been stuck in my head for the past week.

She still has that animation, and there is indeed an achievement for it.

Did you check this with NA version? Cause I tried but got nowhere. Managed to get a look under the skirt when I stood up on some boxes but she wouldn't do the animation.
I've got a question about a playthrough B mechanic:
.
Now I've super finished the game now, but I could never work out some stuff with that mechanic completely, and would like to check it out while wrapping up side quests.

So how do you consistently control enemies, I only got the prompt after hacking two or three times, other times it would just kill or inflict damage on the enemy, is it based on what chips you equipped? After I couldn't reproduce it, I just put on damage based hacking chips, so I don't know if that cancels it.

Regarding the ps4 theme.
Is it included in all Day-One Editions or is it only for digital pre-orders?

Normal gets pretty easy, but Hard will frustrate you so go with Normal for your first time.
