They are all placed near major objects and spaced out to where you think they would be. If it seems like too much I'd just look it up though.
Nice, enjoy!
Max out every single weapon to find out, not including pods.

You didn't think you'd get through an entire Taro game without at least one bullshit sidequest, did you?

It's kinda sad to go through
in Route C.
Like man, they didn't do nothing.
the Amusement Park and see all the zombified machines

Finished Route C.
So Route D
Man, what a crazy ride the climax was. Switching A2 and 9S was awesome. Seeing the library from Nier 1 was awesome. Also Berserker mode is great, destroyed an enemy upon activating it. Ugh, and another awesome character is dead. I like 9S and he has the most story but 2B and A2 are more fun to play as and I like their personalities more. Can't wait for the final boss to be a hacking minigame. /s Hopefully I'm wrong.
So Route D
is just playing as 9S at the end of the game?
Yes.
You'll gain access
to ending E directly after. You'll understand when it happens. I won't spoil it here

I actually loved that one, since
movement in this game is so good.
Relics of the Old World is some vintage fuckery.

I like to consider route D is all the parts of playing 9S after the all out battle
But yes, essentially

I just finished route A. Liked it. Ground combat is fun, and I think the flying segments are even better. Was that one cutscene all you see of
. I will say I was more impressed with the story/characters of the original nier on that initial playthrough. Soundtrack is so good.
From what I've gathered, route B is the same except you play as
Sounds like it is worth going through it to get to route C though.
emil? And the twins from the original made a cameo as well
From what I've gathered, route B is the same except you play as
9S. Is it shorter due to the segments where he is out of action?

So.... is it recommended that I go back get all the weapons and finish off the rest of sidequests?
Also about Route A and Route C spoilers btw
thinking back on the YorHa units that went awol knew about them being disposable and that's the reason of them going awol?
Man, Popola and Devola can't catch a break. Holy shit, is their story sad.

It's the same as everyone else's, but causes damage IIRC.
Those are actually main quests.
You can always see what sidequests are available to you through your map. They'll be marked as red dots. You have to go there yourself and talk to the NPC in order to accept them.
I'd advise waiting for you to unlock fast travel before going all crazy regarding completing them.
When it turns red she parries attacks
Ah that's what I thought.
First one was pretty boring, hope the next ones pick up.
Most sidequest are at camps but there is a few on field. You can see them in your map anyway so open up the map and look around for the red dots.

Thanks again, I think I assumed I'd never be able to jump down there. One of the more memorable side-quests, too, glad I didn't miss it!
Use spear and spam the throw.

Finished Route D+E
I feel like the impact of the story didn't really hit me while I was playing it, but dug in my mind more and more upon further reflection and letting it settle for a bit.
The use of the online feature and music was truly powerful. Didn't want to wipe my save file though.

Anemone's backstory though. Goddamn.

There are too many layers
I've gone too deep
Help
Dem wooden thighs, phew.
Yea, I hated fighting them, especially at this one part in the story.
Uhh, there are several quality ones, that can be humorous, morbid, foreshadow, make you feel more attached to characters, etc. Don't feel pressured to do them all, but keep an open mind I guess.

I finished Route A today, and I keep waiting for something amazing to happen. It never did. Not since MGSV has a game let me down so hard. The game just kind of...ends. If you asked me to sum up why I should care about anything that happens in Route A, I'd have a hard time coming up with reasons. None of the characters have been fleshed out, the world is as much as a mystery as it was when I began, and the game never managed to figure out just what the hell it was doing with its pacing.
I seriously hope the other routes blow my fucking mind out of the back of my skull, because boy is this game going to have to work hard to win me over.

Hey, believe me: I would absolutely love for the rest of the game to not suck. Can't wait to jump into the other routes and see if things improve.
The more of a fool people take you, the more you'll learn of their true nature.
Hope they do!

If you're already hating A I fear you'll feel pretty bad about B
But I promise C is the real shit
Yes please.
Let 2B answer all questions,and pod ,being an intelligent eraser,automatically "deletes" any wrong answers.
