I just got the sword I wanted for 2B, kinda sad that I have to play as 9S now, even worse i have to replay everything it seems...

Taro said his game was poop, though.
probably underleveled or your chips are not stacked properly
I'm a little hesitant to use my good chips on this fight because I can't always reliably grab my corpse in time. 9S keeps attacking before I'm ready. Going to go back and do some more side quests I guess.
Good call, I'll try that.

Cant you change his attack style? Did you try "cautious"?
I didn't learn how to pronounce it correctly until like 2 weeks ago lol, so ashamed of myself
They never say it in-game though
Okay, so I'm only a few hours into this game and I have a question.
I know that there are multiple endings, and you kind of "go back" to get later endings, but do I lose my progress after getting each ending?
Am I wasting time doing a bunch of side stuff before getting the first ending, or will that carry over?

The pods
they ask if you want to delete your save. "You, faithful player of Nier: Automata"
All side quests that are started but not completed will not carry over. And for the first run there are 4 side quests exclusive to 2B that can't be done after the first ending. Completed quest progress will carry over to the next.
Oh wow lol

Near where the dojo master side quest is there is a locked chest on top of the roof on the opposite building. How the fuck do I get up there?
Plz help this is really bothering me

Man, maybe it's because I'm rushing, but I can't launch things anymore at my current level ;_;
Come on man lol
(rushing a normal playthrough so I can just focus on a hard playthrough later)
EDIT:
Also, playing more, there seems to be an intentional slowdown when you do the pod charge?
I can't say for sure since I wasn't looking at an FPS counter or something, but this doesn't seem like dropped frames now that I'm on something that runs the game better.

Oh gosh, I don't have the video I was linked showing how to do it on hand, but I had the same problem. I'll try my best to explain what to do! -- Route B spoilers (as you can only get it then)
You have to use the worm machine flying around nearby, and hack it as 9S when it's not noticing you. You'll then get the option to control it, and you can use jump on the machine to fly across the way to the treasure chest. If you haven't controlled a machine yet, you can use the l3/r3 explode ability to return to being 9S.
If you don't want to get crazy technical with combos and weapons swapping in the air there is a simple way to get some aerial distance. If you hit the jump and fire buttons at the same time you do a pod grab and get a forward boost (kind of a forward flip thing). What I'll do to cover big gaps is get a running start, get a double jump off a building, tap fire+jump for the pod boost, then air dash followed by a glide hanging from my pod. If that's not enough, you can attack while gliding to do a little spin to give yourself a slight bit more hang time​.
You need to make full use of your air time extension possibilities. Air dashes, double jumps, hover via grabbing the pod, the kick you can do while hovering, the 'fling-forward' manouver (fire+jump at the same time).
You realize that you can just save/load your way out of losing the chips, right? As the game itself points out, there is no auto-save. What you save is what you get.
Charging some Pod abilities does involve an intentional "bullet time" slowdown for your benefit, yes.

Alright, I had to go to work and *sigh* hang out with a girl and maybe kiss her on her face hole but finally I'm able to play some Nier: Automata. Good thing I was DLing it while I was out.
Let's get started!

I had no idea about the fire and jump kick
I don't think the game ever tells you about it. I accidentally found it while just messing around a bit. It's super useful.
No, the counter is just the "press the right direction at the right moment" part. The attack is nulled and the attacker takes damage based on the level of the mod you're using.

A2's taunt is pure addiction, only have a +3 taunt chip but that already does 280% more damage after taunting
Don't even need to time. Just mash forward until it works lol

Man, the world building is so good! Loved the
aesthetic and talking to everyone felt just like the good old days of JRPGs. The music is sublime, and I have been getting Xenogears vibes from it.
Still at the
, and just busy fishing to make enough money for upgrading chips and expanding memory. Really enjoying it so far!

If you can bulldog the specs, I do recommend the PC version since I can actually fight mobs without dropping frames everywhere now.
Wow. I played 70 hours and got all the main endings and I'm just now figuring out that you can charge your Pod specials. I always thought charging it just holds it, but doesn't actually boost it in any way. Apparently charging the Hammer gives me 3 hammers at a time

I'm hoping for costume DLC. I want Zero's garb + wig.
The three playable characters would also fit well into Nier, human Emil, and Kaine costumes.
I didn't have it in me to attack anything that didn't attack first.
