There is only one missable thing in the game, and it's part of high level bonus content that you won't see until you've done everything else. Don't worry.
Awesome, thanks man! I'll just keep pressing on and not worry about these things then.
I'm having a great time. Honestly, I'd be happy with my purchase for just Route A, the fact that I get even more in addition makes me very...very happy.
Yeah got prompt
if I want to give up. Did no so keep going, not sure if there is an end

i don't know if it's possible to do alone. names turned invincible for me after some time. it's a very weird system, they don't want to you to win alone apparently. wasn't too happy with it.

I really need to finish the game in the next couple of days. I keep clicking black bars I think will be safe and getting hit with little bits I didn't know about
The curiosity and need to discuss is too much! Midway through C, saw a post that said "early C spoilers" and saw something that sure seems like a later payoff for early C, lol

So Im on route B and I just got to
and i have items to upgrade virtuous contract and treaty to level 3. Where can I make this upgrade. All shops I've visited have a dash where the cost should be and when I select the weapon to upgrade it says it cannot be enhanced at this location. Do I have to use the
the forest
forest blacksmith to go to level 3?

So apparently P5 is even better than this game? I don't know if all these awesome games we are having lately are good for my health.

Going through Route B, I have to say it's still enjoyable, not as much as A, but man, the people here hyping up C is making me antsy af.

Question about Playthrough C, since Ive read conflicting things.
Im nearing the end of B, do the sidequests carry over to C? Or is it a seperate story mode for A2, and id have to wait until opening up the chapter select to finish anything off?

Thanks for the next info
C is its own thing, yes you'll have to wait till later for unfinished business.
i can't open the door , i'm guessing the guy next to it with a fetch quest the i refused has something to do with it right?

Some of the elevators not being able to be opened is strange. Perhaps more secrets than we had expected.
im just assuming they are opened in later route like the chests, is that not the case?

There's absolutely nothing behind them. Nothing valuable at all.
But hey, to show your appreciation for making it this far, I think you deserve a gift. Since I have nothing on me, I will explode gloriously in a vast array of spare parts so that you might benefit from my demise. Enjoy!

A couple, but not some that have been discovered.
Really? Shame.
I thought perhaps there may be something to them. It's even more interesting to me that there is nothing behind them now.
EDIT:
Only Ending

Yeah, one of the things that make this game so special. Yoko Taro is one of the gaming greats, that's for sure.
It was a joke. Well, kind of. When you play the game more you'll understand.
Some doors will open up over time, no worries. I'm only on Route B right now, but I've already gone through elevators that weren't accessible before so I'm sure that will only increase as I continue to venture onward.
Nothing's required, but it's extremely difficulty without it.

Just grabbed this. Loving it so far. Really refreshing, and that soundtrack tho...
No , it's in order you can not miss any major ending
What happened?

So I think I kinda fucked up. Or maybe Platinum did?
I decided to do some horde mode over at that pit in the desert
I decided to do some horde mode over at that pit in the desert
where the first boss fight is[/quote] in order to farm some mats for weapon upgrades. Endless spawning enemies, good for machine arms, legs, stuff like that. I hung out there for about an hour and a half...and fucked around and picked up like 20 levels.
As it turns out, the game doesn't really adjust to your level. Most enemies remained 10-20 levels below me at all times for the rest of the play through (maybe 7 or 8 more hours), no matter how many restarts. Sometimes the flying regular dudes would be my level...but the bosses would all be 20 levels below and get rekt in 10 seconds or less. It's as if the game just expects you to be around a certain level and too low the game feels like Dark Souls; too high and it mine as well be on easy mode. Game seems to give the same amount of XP for every level so it doesn't seem to be any harder to go from 61 to 62 than it did to go from 31 to 32.
I find that a very odd choice. You'd think the game would do regular checks to see what level you are and adjust the NPC levels accordingly to maintain the feeling of the difficulty setting chosen.
Hopefully the 3rd playthrough will even this out at some point, but idunno. I might have to put it on Very Hard to feel some challenge, but I like the convenience of the targeting button. IDK.
On another note, I'm happy to have gotten 12 weapons to Rank 4 with 3 or 4 more just a couple of items away.

so... how do you NOT obcess over?hidden stuff once you get the pod scanner
I feel like I have to constantly run around with it activated now ;_;
I mapped Pod Program to L1 just so I can hold it all the time you get rare materials
Switch to hard, goddamn. A normal run would've been fine if you didn't grind and upgrade so high. If you needed a level buff 10 minutes in that desert place would've been enough and yeah, C hits harder.

I mean, what you want is basically enemy level scaling. Most RPGs don't have that, and it's not a very popular design decision (see backlash to Bethesda RPGs). Getting overleveled tends to be the predictable consequence of grinding in most games. If you find that the game is too easy, I guess you could bump up the difficulty level?
I do agree, though, that maybe they made level more important for damage output than it perhaps should have been
