Did you also get Ending E?
I just got my platinum trophy (without buying any trophies) at about 59h playtime. Feels good.
Afterwards I did Ending E again, and this timeit made even more of an impression on me. Since I knew that I was being helped and wasn't frustrated a long time, I could appreciate it all even more than the first time. Subtle things like the vocals becoming a chorus when other players come to your aid and all.
Deleted my save game and helped somebody too. Well, but backed up my save in online storage though
Yeah, thankfully after a few deaths I got some help though. That's tough at the end. Cool though.
I don't think it can be. I'm currently in Japan and it's showing 15 hours left to unlock.
For anyone curious, the Steam pre-load is up as well.

I finished Path A after 14ish hours. What a game. Really interested to see its tricks from here
I felt really really dumb for not realizing that you lose your chips if you don't recover your body. So I didn't have parry/fast cooldown/regenerating health for the last 1.5 hours or so. Whoops.

Yup, the sweetest.
ROUTE B SPOILERS
I want to fight Emil but I'm doing nothing to him at level 52. I'm at the missile defense mission, which I assume is the point of no return like in Route A. How can I grind levels efficiently? I need to figure out how to take out the rabbit statue but afaik that's all I have left to do. Pls help
stock up on level speed chips, that's what i did. it goes by pretty fast if your fighting high level enemies, to begin with i dont advise you trying to fight emil in route B, wait until your done with route C and D, there is a chapter select where you can go back and play any part of the game before that with all your levels items and weapons intact
You mean the exp boost chips? Got plenty
oh shit a chapter select? Dope, thanks for letting me know!
I think the Link machines drop it.
Emil sells it if you can get his materials inventory to appear. Otherwise the best way to farm it that I found on Route A/B is to kill the medium sized robots just outside the exit from the area where you fought the boss in the Desert (
Adam
MATERIAL STORE WHAT

Yup. If he's more in the middle of the map he sells mid tier materials, and if he's near the resistance camp he sells high tier materials.
The other two inventories are different kinds of chips.
Also, a robot at the park sells some other material stuff like ores and pearls.

I know, it was a godsend for me too. Think someone said earlier what he sells varies from location but not sure.
This game is good
Link machines ?! which machine is this ?
I'm at route B but I remember at route A Titanium Alloy never appeared among the materials that Emil sell ,
do you mean outside the area that I fought Adam in ??
and how the materials apear anyway is it random or should I do something ?
I know a lotta question sorry
Is it really based on location or just random?
He sells two Bracer type weapons and the Dress Module as well.

I thought it was random too, but i confirmed today that its location based.
Pro Tip for Emil locations, if he's not at the location you want, run into the desert a bit (until you cant see him on the map anymore) then run back into the ruined city, if you transport he will not leave his current location. Just keep running back and forth until he's selling what you want.
The long ones with drills with the orbs you gotta hit

Any tips for maxing out all weapons/farming?

For the most part, you can buy most of the mats post-game. You'll have to grind the beast hides for a few of the weapons, though.

I read
it does something while zerking.
Get through that part on Normal at the very least, then do whatever you want afterwards.
Seeing all the people jump straight to hard difficulties has me confused.
I always play a game on normal at first, as that's considered the default setting the developer intended. If it's boring, I'll bump it up.
Jumping straight into Hard is like putting salt on your food as soon as you get it. Sure, it makes the food tastier, but maybe you should taste the food first to know if it needs salt.

It's just looping in this ot.
Like clockwork.

I just used the chips the game auto assigned to me, on my new play through I might just not bother with them.
Damnit new page.
For new comers I recommend not starting on hard and go normal mode as there won't be a save point until you beat the intro boss and he one shots you then you have to start from beginning again, after that you can change.

I played on normal mostly with offensive, deadly and auto heal chips because i play sloppy as hellllll
shockwave too because it's too good
shockwave too because it's too good
I only used melee defense and evade range up. My real build was shockwave + every recovery chip I could use (deadly heal + auto heal + the one that heals in each attack).
I did a troll build based on vengeance (return damage taken).

Finally finished this game. I liked it a lot, but I think that making it open world was a mistake. I think I did two sidequests in total... Also C route was a bit long... But that E ending redeemed it

Aw. How come? Most of them are pretty basic in terms of what you actually have to do, but the stories they tell range from heartwarming to hilarious to unsettling to tragic and beyond.
Please tell me one of those two quests was the stamp collection quest from the park.

The sidequests are there to flesh out the world, if you didn't do them your missing out
