Just keep playing is the meat of it. You'll see how it's structured once you near the end-end.
As for the rest of the joke endings they can be triggered by certain funny deaths or fails that vary depending on where/when you are.
They are not different endings, they are different playthroughs, but they are structured like visual novel where you play from different perspectives and have different story arcs to expand the lore and story

Man, closing in on %100 completion and I'm starting to feel empty lol 
...took me about 60 hours.
I wish I could forget this game and experience it all over again for the first time. It's so fucking good. I don't see how any game other than Persona 5 can top this for my GOTY 2017. I can also see this being the rare game I replay.
Just traded in like 25+ machine cores, at 2million G
This game is one of the best games I've played in recent years.

In the central area of the
city ruins where you first land in, there's a destroyed highway overlooking the area, with a truck below it. If you go up that way and follow it you can go back to the factory.
Either there's an
enemy hidden nearby in the sand stopping her from moving, or you may have to go a distance away from her in order to reset her. That happened to me first time but was fine after.
Thanks! I went up there but didn't want to venture out too far away since I was clearing side quests at the moment
How do I access the DLC?

Lol my feelings are the same, but in the best way. Game is God Tier to me and I also have over 60 hours now. Easily the best open world game I've played in probably 5 plus years. It's just so expansive and beautiful. Plus riding animals is super fun.
Still stuck at 92% Unit Data. I think I have to kill more of those Golden Robo guys towards 9S' storyline, I haven't found them yet. Played the Secret Emil Boss in the desert though and got ending Y finally.
Yes, but hold on to some moose/boar meat, because you'll need it for a quest.
Then again, it's pretty easy to find so it's not a big deal if you sell it either way.

Items and then Key Items I think? It's definitely in the item menu though.
Do you mean the demo/tutorial area?
If you orient your map with the Resistance Camp as South, It's to the West towards the area with two parallel, vertical lines. That's where you had the first boss fight in the abandoned factory. You have to find a broken highway to get there.
For people who need specific help I'm sure English guides will be coming out soon but there is a great Japanese guide here which you can google translate in case you need help now, I used this guide a ton when I was stuck with something. I used GameFAQs too.

Nier Automata has a better more flesh out story about FFXV than FFXV.
Got the Black Box Edition! Here are a few pics of the 2B figure as well as some pantsu~

Consensus is 40-50 hours for a full playthrough.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Beat the game finally last night (been playing since the JP release).
Got all the relevant endings.
...Soul crushing, brilliant, incredibly unique. This is the best game Yoko Taro has been involved in.
Get all the endings. It's totally worth it.
40 hours or so.

Definitely. Took me about 30-35 hours for all the main story stuff.
1000% agree.
One of the very best games I've played recently, gameplay, story, music, pretty much everything is top notch.
Thanks. Plenty of time then. Just paid for the pre order.
Yeah those should be simple enough. I was mostly asking about the cores.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I just beat the first boss in the desert, and I'm kinda shocked at how straightforward this game feels so far. The shmup genre blend at the beginning was the only thing that stands out as that weird Nier-ness so far.

Any advice on how to not fall asleep while playing this. The music makes me extremely drowsy. 😪😪😪
I think I had the exact same issue with first game.

Picked this and Horizon up earlier today. Unfortunately I have to work a 12 hour shift (7pm-7am EST) so I can't play for another... 10 hours now. I'm pretty pumped. Got it installed and patched before I left for work so I should be good to go the second I get home. Gonna dive into this before Horizon, but it was a tough choice.
