I really don't recommend that. Route C is where the magic happens. Watching a video wont have the same impact as playing through it.

What Bowlie said.
Also, while Pascal's voice is more overtly female, it's not uncommon to have women play male characters.

How in the world can you come to that conclusion after finishing route B? Did you just hit the power button as soon as the credits started rolling?
There was more than one new cutscene in just that trailer!
I dunno, I googled the third playthrough and one of the results was saying that the only change is the end and another was talking about how crazy hard it gets. Didn't do too much digging cus of possible spoilers.
neither of those things is true. You already got past the worst and most unnecessary part of the game, dont stop when its about to get good again, arguably the best part of the game.

What the fuck. The game just didn't something unreasonably cruel to me in one of the towers. Route C spoilers.
I was in the tower in the flooded city with 9S, where you're hacking a bunch of devices. It's kind of a pain in the ass. I get to the top and start a boss battle. The boss dashes at me, I try to dodge, it grabs me, and depletes all my health with the one grab. I am forced to reload a save. I have to do the whole tower again. I very rarely get upset with games, but I think I'll shut it off now. I didn't enjoy that at all. If I get to that boss again, and it happens all over, that would be such bullshit.

It's funny how, by Route C, how much I go between hating and totally craving the hacking.
It's its strongest in the story moments though. That presentation and pared down gameplay does the heavy exposition moments wonders.

Pretty sure whatever you saw was about the first Nier. The third playthrough in the original Nier is pretty much the same minus some stuff at the end. Not at all the case here.
Same thing happened to me. You can back out and save before you start the part mentioned if you want to avoid that happening again.

WHAT? HOW? That sounds like the kind of thing I'd turn around on and love.
You have to hack them without aggroing them. I could rarely ever get it to work since they see me before I can hack.
Eh, improvements could be made, but I wouldn't call it unnecessary.

I've literally completed some missions without fighting a single enemy.

I'm almost done with Route C and I legitimately have no idea how any of you could possibly roll up on an enemy to hijack them without making them aggro. I've only ever pulled it off when the story explicitly demands it. You must have to creep at a snail's pace from an already advantageous position to sneak up on them. And even then, it would take so long to pull off that I have to imagine it wouldn't be worth it (at least in time, not "fun") when you can just hack them in battle and blow them up, lighting them on fire and stunning everyone around them (with my mods at least).
It's pointless now, but will someone tell me what I'm missing there?

You can hack from a pretty far distance and a lot of enemies won't aggro until you get closer to them.

See, I'm not saying you're wrong, but based on my play experience? That feels objectively untrue.
Enemies will spot me from a hundred meters away and aggro. And on the occasions that I have somewhat snuck up on an enemy, the hacking distance is so short that I have been close enough to lock on but my hacking...uh, beams(?) fizzle out before reaching them.
Have you tried locking on?
Was just thinking about this as I walked right past them, talking with their friendly allies, only to get to the boss after them and find that my level is about half what it should be and that I can't damage the boss at all.
I think I'll go to the desert and fight some of those hostile robots instead.

Man, I dunno.Yeah
I haven't tried controlling many enemies (I always preferred the direct hack), but I never had an issue sneaking up on them and targeting them from afar. Sometimes they'd aggro, but more often than not, I'd get the hack in-time. :/
Did you know you can chain-hack? AKA hack robots while controlling a robot? Get control of one unit, and you can use that to edge up to other units and, generally, they won't aggro on you until you start attacking with your hijacked unit, so you can just jump from a robot to a better robot until you're rolling with the biggest and baddest unit around.

I ended up really enjoying the hacking. I also loved the sort of action/hacking element. I'd set up a double offset and then hack away. Felt super badass actually, nimbly dodging around the field hacking away at strategic targets. I found it really enjoyable
Edit: also he OST release is too incredible I can't stop talking about it, make sure you listen to it after finishing the game. K, thanks, bye

There is no other option? All I can do is select chapters. If I select start I dont even start from the beginning. Wierd.

nope, as long as you actually completed the quest in A it won't let you do them again
The only sideqests you can/have to "redo" are those you did not complete. I you finished them they remain finished.
Worth mentioning that you actually have to fully complete them. If it's a multiple step quest and you do p1 but not 2 and 3 you'll have to do the entire quest over again next time through.

If they're finished, you don't need to do them again. If not, you have to do it all again. The only exception to this is the Half-Wit Inventor quest, he remembers how much you've donated in the past so you don't need to donate another 80,000G or whatever. Each Father Servo fight counts as its own quest too, so you only need to carry on from whatever phase you're at.
Whoops, that's my bad - I didn't realise
helping the weapons and plug-in chips merchants were part of the main quest.

I'm pretty sure it fell off at an press conference (or he tripped, I can't recall), and it cracked. Might have been E3?
Oh okay, thanks. I kinda like that he didn't just have another one made and patched this one up. It looks cool.
Scarred Emil confirmed for Ni3R
Haha, yeah. I like the look of the patched version as well.
