Sadly not all. Farming Simple/Elaborate Gadgets is infuriating.

Where can you find some of these upgrade materials? I picked up any nearby items almost 80% of the time but none of it are what I need to upgrade anything.

It's a japanese wiki, but you should be able to let it translate to english at the top right.

I heard this one was missable. Is that true? If so, when is the point of no return where I need to have all weapons upgraded? In what route?
From what I read, you have to let/make him self-destruct in the first encounter to get the ending. Not 100% on the details of how that works.

ending
y happens while fighting the boss
you just need to let him selfdestruct, so you lose to him, get the ending and then fight him to beat him

Finished Route A today and am halfway done with Route B. (Unless it's much longer than Route A.)
In Route A I did this subquest where you collect stamps in the amusement park.
Is that basically the game trolling you, or was there a good way to get rid of them fast?
Not really feeling 9S's combat moves, but the hacking minigame is fun.

Everything was fine until you get in this basement corridor where you're suddenly attacked by dozens of clown robots who vomit oil and they can take a shitload of damage.
That section wasn't really hard as they didn't deal a lot of damage and were easy to evade, but it was fucking tedious to take them all out which you had to do.

It's not missable in the sense that there's a point of no return. It's missable in the sense that something happens during the side quest which takes 10 seconds and you should NOT disrupt. If you disrupt it and save afterwards, you missed it. You can get the Ending and do the last part of the side quest again and disrupt it then though, so you get the side quest as finished instead of the Ending.

Thanks! What is the name of the sidequest so I know what to look out for?
Coming along nicely on my Hard mode replay, only dropped the difficulty three times.
1. At the boss fight in the
. I cleared it on Hard the first time, but accidentally triggered the joke ending while examining the area afterward and didn't want to have to go through it again on Hard.
2. When doing the sidequest where you fight the mechanical animal and its pack, because the boars kept oneshotting me even though I was seven levels higher than them and had 50% HP and 30% defense boosts.
3. Near the end of the hidden Cave area with all the high level enemies, because I was scared about losing my body potentially and didn't want to lose all the XP I gained.
Most of the sidequests in this game are either foreshadowing or thematically relevant. This is really a game where you want to take the time to do sidequests.

Everything
EVERYTHING.
The only thing you lose is that if you had any sidequests in progress they are reset upon starting route B again, but any cleared ones stay cleared. An exception is the "Half-Wit Inventor" sidequest, however you much money you already gave him he'll already have at the start of Route B. Each Father Servo fight is a separate sidequest so don't worry about him.

Huh.
For Route E, if you die, just keep going, and have your online on. They'll start to ask you different questions.

Alright, fuck these alternate endings bullshit.

Big ass dramatic and well executed scenes with 2B. Amazing blend of gameplay and story.
Then I go to 9S, he's talking about marking something on the minimap. So while I'm waiting for the marker to appear I walk around and go grab this item like 20 feet away. BAM Ending [Q]. LOL, thanks alot game. I lost 2 fucking hours of progress.

Yeah, I meant I don't need to play anymore, since I can look up those on Youtube. Which I am doing right now.
Oh... Um, okay then.

Don't judge me
It's just... it doesn't take that long to finish the game up from that point, so I'm just confused is all.
Thanks, good to know, i've probably already asked this question multiple times but it always makes me anxious lol
Damn this final boss is hype!

Oh yeah, forgot you can select chapters now, lol.
No wonder you're looking it up, I thought you knew that lol
Yes.
Thanks for the quick response! Will keep playing to find out when/how!
I have this happen on occasion as well.
Opening and closing the shortcut menu brings it back.
Btw, I'm liking the new singer used for (some) of the vocal tracks I found so far but I still think Evans is better. Not necessary because she's a better singer but her voice feels more suited for the intriguing nature of Nier world.
Soundtrack is Nier 1 tier so far, the little I heard I'm already liking it better than Drakengard 3. Funny the worst parts so far are the two Nier 1 remixes I heard.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering the soundtrack on amazon.jp but I see 2 seperate listings that look largely the same. Anyone can tell me what the difference is between the 2? One of them says it's 1 CD on the product details, while the other says 3 CDs, but the price is identical, so I'm guessing one of the 2 is incorrect.
The listings:
OST 1
OST 2
The listings:
OST 1
OST 2
No, they're both correct, there is in fact a 1 disc and a 3 disc version out there.
The one you want to order is of course the 3 disc version, as of now that one also comes with a 4th bonus discs for a limited time.

The titles of the past OST's used to be in japanese, so i wouldn't expect it any different this time around.

Yeah, thought so. That's fine, I can probably just edit the mp3 names myself if it's too annoying. Thanks for the help
Edit: Is there any chance of this OST releasing in English btw? I don't think the previous Nier OST got released in the west so probably not I guess.

Can't wait to get there myself. Finished route A yesterday and am currently in the middle of route B. The ending of route A leaves so many questions unsolved. Some sidequests seem to hint there's something going on behind the scenes.
