Is it safe to buy this on a GTX780? Or should I wait for a patch first? I want to play something new today and this has my attention. Never played the first game though. Also does anyone know if there's a store offering it cheaper? I see greenmangaming selling it for 45 euro. My conscious is telling me to wait 'till it's cheaper and patched, but I don't know if I can restrain myself!

Man, the feels just hit me, and it's not even a quest, just general NPCs. Route C General NPC Spoilers
... damn it :'[
Edit: These
You know the pair of friends in Pascal's village one of whom was tired to carrying the other friend and weren't talking anymore? Well, in Route C, they make up with each other, and one says he agreed to only carry the friend 3 times, while the other friend who doesn't have arms said he should think about giving his friend some oil for his arms. Just looking at these guys, plus that village music in the background

For crit build, just use Ancient Overlord. Pipe's damage varies a lot, but it does have high stun buff at level 4 which is nice.
Will do on another playthrough, then. Crit Builds are so much fun.
I didn't even finish Route A yet, but I'll already say I agree. Even the fish descriptions have a ton of cool world building stuff. The mechanical fish ones are fantastic. Both gives us insight into the aliens' tactics to fight mankind when the war first started, but also tells a beautiful story about how nature always finds balance.
It's amazing how much a good core gameplay can positively impact the experience of doing basic side quests. There's nothing particularly interesting in the quest design, but just the fact that movement and combat are fun as hell makes it so I never feel like I'm forcing myself to play something shitty just because the story is cool. I'm having fun between the story beats, and that's something too many RPGs full of side quests do wrong, imo.

Any hints for fishing? I rarely catch anything.
Don't do anything until the pod is completely submerged. It'll twitch for a while before that.

Yeah, you can also just listen to the sound of the pod dipping in to the water, and then immediately press the button to catch the fish. You don't even need to look at the screen this way.

Man, why is this happening
Those
do some good damage. Get some melee def chips.
Those
exploding machines
The kid is delusional. I have no idea if his stuff is cheap or not because no one else sells his stuff.

Is there any reason not to kill those robots at the theme park?? I mean, they are cute and all, but I need the exp.

So I'm progressing through this game slow as all get out (busy with work and life and everything else, you know how it is) but I am amazed by the little philosophical asides that the NPCs - the shopkeeper in the Resistance camp that won't replace his original leg is totally Plutarch's Ship of Theseus paradox.
That and the movement in this game is giving me Metal Gear Rising vibes - 2B just flows around - that and turning into Ikaruga/Smash TV every once in a while is great fun.
Come for the philosophical pandering, stay for the awesome game play. Looking forward to diving in much deeper.

Even with fast travel unlocked, I just don't have the energy to do these side quests.
There's some fun writing to be found, but the actual mission design of these quests couldn't be any more dull. And this is coming from someone who spent EIGHTY HOURS in Dragon Age: Inquisition
I think I'm just gonna mainline this one. The main content is stellar.
Platinum, stop trying to make open world games. Stop it.

Route C spoiler:RIP Pascal. I erased his memories. Damn it, Yoko Taro
I just
walked away. In a world where memory = consciousness it felt just as wrong to wipe him as to kill him.
Make sure you hack the boss 4 times

There are only a handful of quests in the entire game that require much in the way of jumping around the world. Half of them even can be instantly completed provided you have the needed materials already.
The reality is that on the whole sidequests are as painless as they could possibly be on the whole. I really don't see the issue. You can even get the 80% required for the trophy without doing any of the more involved ones.
Honestly, I really don't see there being any sort of a problem especially as in the entire game there is a grand total of 1 missable thing in the long-run.

The OST CD is just absurdly good. It's a straight masterpiece. You owe it to yourself to seek it out, it's just incredible.
The music in the game is dynamically mixed to the action which is amazing in game. However the mixes put together for the OST CD are just another level completely because you get the chance to notice things you miss in the middle of the action.
This soundtrack is just another level entirely. Amazing

Speed chips + large speedsalves, if you need to run without jumping high, hold run down rather than doing repeated dashes as that is faster in the long run.
Alternatively abuse him with high level overclock chips if you have them already

Thanks, guess i'll be getting one of those for next week then
Move chips, use your launcher and pod throw for better movement options. Dash constantly. Try to avoid floating and grabbing ledges.
You mean,
hack A2 as 9S
Smashed the credits with the help of others and lost my save.
Well, either way - holy fuck ending E was amazing. I loved it.
I almost got a bit emotional when writing my message to others.
Game as a whole was great. I'm usually not big on philosophy, but a lot of it was quite interesting here, probably because of the medium. Gameplay was easily the best a Yoko Taro game has had so far, although I have to say I still otherwise prefer the original Nier when it comes to story and characters.
Beautifully profound game and beautiful OST, not much else to say. Now I'm gonna go read the spoiler thread and listen to the soundtrack on the background.

On the third one, use the self destruct trick.
Hold selfdestruct to land pretty fast, without fall damage, from there just evade, evade, evade, along the hill to the left

I feel horrible when I enter this area and I have aggressive fighting style chosen for my partner and they start slaughtering the poor guys.

For the
quest (Route A, rather early I think), is there a glitch or something with it? I went to the marked area by the factory entrance, but there's nothing there.
There's only that marker and one by the landing zone on top of the buildings, but I can't tell if the tower marker is higher than the landing zone or if there's just nothing there as well.
Also, is there a cut-off point for side quests in Route A? I want to try to do as many as I can my first-time around.

For some reason they only appear after you finished the
Forest King
on top of the Goliath
And yeah, there's a cutoff point. If you wanna know...this isn't much of a spoiler with no context but to be safe: If you start the mission
where you're supposed to defend that launcher in the flooded city

So I'm about 8 hours in now. It's definitely bringing back some memories of Nier, but I love that it's doing its own thing. It's probably been said, but this game really does polish up one of the huge glaring flaws of the original with that Platinum silky-smooth combat. The OST is right up there with the original with the new music being stellar and I'm loving the callbacks to the original.
Is fishing a thing I need to do? I basically ignored it in the first game and plan on doing so here too unless there's something important I'm gonna miss.

All right.
Finished the game. Ending E.

The happiest Taro ending ever?
He really wasn't lying when he said he made an upbeat one. It sure as hell is more positive than Drakengard 1/3 and Nier.
I don't even want to fight the secret Emil desert boss just to get the trophy. I'm going to leave it as is, I think.

Pod B. In the flooded city. I don't think there's a specific spot in that area, it's all dependent on the almighty RNG, whether you'll get it or not. But you have to fish for it. No other way.
