Just finished Ending A. This game at least the first playthrough ended sooner than I thought. Time to start Route B.

Just got Ending E.
Taro Yoko is the Hayao Miyazaki of video games.
If he stopped making video games now, I would not blame him for it.
How.. do you top this?

So I am now level 13, I have been in the first 3 areas of the game and now I have a lot of sidequests. And to be honest the game is cool, but the backtracking is kind of annoying and no fun. Will I be fine doing mostly the main quest? Oh and the status of my sidequests, will it be the same after NG+?

I'd recommend doing the main story only. You can do sidequests in the other routes, but the context will be a bit different. But there's
chapter select
I recommend do some side quests when you unlock fast travel as they really build up the lore with excellent writing.
"I didn't realize... just how beautiful this world is."
I dunno, he needs to though.
Yeah I definitely agree. As a game there were a lot of parts that felt unpolished or too repetitive, or even unfinished (I feel like they didn't get to do everything they wanted to with A2), but as an overall experience it left a lasting impression on me that most other games don't.
Hopefully Nier Automata continues to sell well and convinces Square to give Taro a bigger budget for his next game, because I feel like with some more time and manpower he could truly deliver an incredible experience even above Automata.

Really can't go wrong with either option. Honestly one of the best English dubs I've heard in any medium. Though if forced to choose, I'd stick with English, since it's easier to keep track of dialogue in more hectic scenes when you don't have to be constantly reading the subtitles.

I just told Taro on Twitter that I finished the game and he should keep making great games.
He thanked me.
Such a nice feeling.

I have so many healing chips installed I almost feel like I can't die. It's kind of amazing.
I'm also on Route B and it is

a cool surprise to see things from the different perspective. Hacking feels kind of meh though. I far enjoyed the combat of 2B more.
Equip a spear, hold down attack button. Throw spears 4eva, never hack again unless it's a huge enemy or a boss.

So. Large Gears. Where can I get them? I have a sub-quest right now where
9S wants to repair the Goliath in the center of the city near the crater and needs 4 Pristine Screws (which I have) plus a Large Gear. There isn't any place marked on the map to get a large gear so.... I have no idea where to get one.
They drop from the small, basic enemies. But they're rare, high level drops so there's no point farming for them at that point in the game on Route A. There is one enemy that spawns next to one of the large enemies that you get the guaranteed Pristine Screw drops from and that enemy will drop one (It's near the bridge to the Forest Zone). I had to die in order to get them to respawn because I was having the same issue as you.
For me, it's always: Great dub > Great/Good Sub > Okay Dub > Poor Dub

I also need to praise the English dub.
I play 99,99% with Japanese Voices, if the game is from Japan. English dubs are almost never satisfying enough to me.
Even if they do a decent job, many voices often just do not fit the character.
But this here is on another level. I choosed english right from the beginning, because that is how I played Nier back then. I hoped it will be as good.
And yeah, they delivered an outstanding job.
Not only is the voice acting superb, but they also choosed fitting voices.
After finishing the whole game, I checked out the Japanese voices and almost forgot / didn't realized it, because it almost felt the same!
Very impressive.

Giant Bomb did a quick look on this game. They were pretty impressed with what they saw.
They showed off the full Opera boss. Alex did nothing but shoot the pod, I wanted to yell "GET UP IN HER FACE" the entire time. They praised the music, and seemed to enjoy everything. Dan and Vinny are interested in playing the game now.
There are some good ones in the OP
Any crap that is what I get for hitting last page in subscriptions --.-

Yeah I can't keep up. I have to play it dubbed or I miss that stuff.
That stops becoming a problem when you're decked out in defense chips, heh.
