Not only do they tell you that you will probably die eating the fish...you receive the item inside a save zone. Just save regularly...

Not done with the game yet, so can't speak to any ending related effects of it.
But you can use self destruct to blow off 2B's dress and look like this - https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ekzfx6K7EsA/maxresdefault.jpg until you transport or load
I'm interested in this game, but can someone please explain to me how the multiple endings work? Do I have to play the game multiple times from beginning to end or are there new areas/locations with each playthrough? Might be spoilers, but I'd like to know first before buying it eventually.
And B-Mode!
Route A - Normal. Route B - Different PoV of Route A, along with new content
Route C - New Content. Route D - Different Decision
Route E - Epilogue

Route E - Epilogue
Talk about very flawed start.
Big problem is that I already beat the demo over 4 or 5 times beforea nd have almost zero desire to replay it.
sigh.
I guess I'll change to easy.
Thanks. Yeah saw that, gonna disable it then.
Everytime I see something weird I suspect its ending related, Im a little paranoid lol
That sounds really cool. Thanks

There's a mechanic in route C that I never figured out.
When playing as A2 you can hold the dodge and A2 will start to slide and glow red. Does this actually do anything? As far as I can tell it seems to be purely cosmetic.
sure looks cool don't it?
its just to illustrate that she has an actual prolonged slide dash as opposed to just a quick dash into run like 2B

Hey guys, I need a little help in Route C.
So, in the Soul Box in the flooded city, I seem to be stuck in a loop. I keep heading to the elevator marked as the objective, but it takes me back downstairs. 9S says something along the lines of needing to explore, but I can't find anything to interact with or hack. Does anyone remember how to progress?

Are you sure you're going in the correct elevator?

A question about route B
in route A i started Emil and jackass missions, but I didn't finish them. Now I reached the forest in route B and they didn't appear. Isn't there a way to complete them now?

Already? It took me 25 hours.

Route B spoilers:
You're thinking about how much you want to **** 2B, aren't you?

I played through Undertale's Genocide route, so nothing phases me in this game. Easy as fuck in comparison.

What do I have to do to reset them? I had the fighting monk quest avaliable on the point I left it

If you are looking to legit 100% this game, expect to take a long time. No joke.
I can see it being done in 65hrs ish if you know in advance where everything is and precisely how to set up your character. But I can see this taking me ~90 to get this all done.
There's a not inconsiderable amount of exploration involved, and the ease by which you do that is really going to depend on your dexterity/skll/experience with Platinum style combat and movement.
Just reaching certain quests/chests in this game is going to have some people tearing their hair out!

Only A2 can taunt.
I thought the game couldn't get any more clever after the brightness setting thing in the beginning... Then I started route B, and
I don't even know what words to use to describe this, but I love it.
Yeah well, I managed to do all the side quests I did fairly efficiently (missed out on two of them, I believe), and when I ran out of those I just started sprinting from story trigger to story trigger. Game is also pretty easy on normal.
Are the non-canon/joke endings worth pursuing, or are all of them like ending G (
) ? I'd love to spend as long as possible in the Nier universe, but Mass Effect is out soon, and I want to finish it, Nier and Y0 before Persona 5 is out.
e: also: collecting all weapons and upgrading them to max level, what does it do? Unlock an ending? Remember seeing someone talk about it

I thought so? It's definitely the elevator that's marked.
Try jumping up and down the ledges. There should be 2-3 chests per room
Just finished route A on 16:30 hours, and I feel like I just completed the tutorial. Starting route B now, let's see what crazy stuff has Yoko Taro prepared for me
Yep, just went through this and my mind is completely blown

If you toggle your pod's light on enemies as the other characters it seems to taunt them.

I just finished Route A and until now I can't understand all the hype. The gameplay isn't that great, the story was quite boring for most of the time, the map sucks and the graphics are ok. But I really love the music and the shmups parts.
I want to see the other endings to see if it will really be such a great experience, because it's my first Yoko Taro game. But until now it's just ok or good to me.
But I think that the second playthrough could be better, because

9S seems to be the more interesting character as he is at least thinking about why some things happen and if it's the right thing to do.
It is perfectly fine to feel that way after only getting through Route A. Disagree about the gameplay not being great though.

Along with a bunch of "endings" if specific requirements are made. Like dying at a specific part. For example. A-D are the most substantial endings though.

Finished route A in 9 hours. Probably should have done more side quests.

Doesn't mean it's bad! But the fighting mechanics seem to be like in the last PG games, which is not particularly bad, but somehow it feels like every fight is the same for me and the boss fights were quite bad in my opinion.
The most interesting boss was
in the amusement park that "lady"
Ha! It took me also just 9:11h. At some point in time I just ignored most of the side quests, because they are not really interesting and the map was super annoying.

Bruh route A is only like half the game
Unless you actually save the result instead of loading when something like that happens, you lose only what you've acquired since you last saved. Since there is no auto-save, you are the one who determines what consequences you are ready to accept. If you lose shit you don't want to lose, load. You'll be spawning at the same spot anyway since the spawn point is the last place you saved at.
There's a lot of stutering going on while traversing the open areaI hope it gets better later (playing on Pro).
Stuttering seems to be a common problem in PS4, particularly when you reach max speed with 2B. It seems to get better the more you play though, or at least it feels like that for me
I've done most of the sidequests for Route A before going into route B and enemies are around my level now
oh wow that music change in the
area. So good.
I expected it to be smoother but oh well, I'll get used. Seems like the engine has problem streaming stuff when going fast.

You have to get all the weapons and upgrade them fully in order to fight a secret boss. Ending Y.

No, there isn't. One of the joke endings isn't really much of a joke and more like a side quest, you need all weapons fully upgraded to finish that side quest.
But not the main endings, no.
