See if you have any heal chips.
Man, I wish there was an option to disable levels or enable boss level scaling. 
This boss fight I just did looked so cool, but the boss just couldn't deal with my current level, and I'm not gonna ignore sidequests just to make the main interesting. Very Hard also doesn't quite interest me because dying in one hit is more of a challenge run than something I want for my first playthrough.
I was actually running around so I could get all of the battle dialogue, because if I went in and attacked he would die in no time.
32 hours, I feel like I'm approaching the ending of Route A.

Darn it, I don't recall seeing any fallen gaffers
well you'll prolly see me a lot whenever I decide to restart on hard
Not really, you should always be properly leveled as you do the story/complete sidequests, no grinding is ever necessary
Did you play on Hard?
I'm level 36 or 37, still didn't finish Route A, 57% side quest completion, IIRC.
What makes me hesitate to put the game on Hard is the occasional enemy with a fuckton of HP. It's not challenging or anything, it just takes so goddamn long that I'm not sure I want to make these fights take even longer.
Can you change the difficulty in the middle of the game? I might just bump it to Hard or Very Hard on bosses, and then back to Normal for exploration.

yeppers you can change the difficulty at any time in the menu
And it applies the changes in real time? That's fantastic! I'll do bosses on Hard or Very Hard then, and switch to Normal every time I see one of the damage sponges.
Thanks!
You have to backtrack as
9S so you can hack to get it

I'm on route B, do I have to do all the remaining sidequests before the end of this route or will I get a chance later? I have no idea what to expect from the game after this.
Don't worry. It's impossible to get locked out of sidequests.
There is a chapter select you will unlock.
If they are the gold enemies then leave them for route B.
Yeah I've been looking in
the Furnace while in Route C

I believe it's in the same location as the
FFXV sword.
If I remember correctly,
Warp to furnace. Go upwards through the factory until you come to a multi-door room that has a 'hacking lock' over one of the doors. At the end of that tiny area is a chest to hack with the report in it.

Which is odd I can't find that area again since I already got the Engine Blade, but I don't remember where.
I only found
two hackable doors
Cruel Arrogance Spear
a conveyor belt that led to a normal chest
I'm pretty sure that second room you found still has what you're looking for, you just need to do some platforming to get on top. I might be remembering it wrong though.
Someone correct me if my memory is wrong.
Still haven't played this. heard good things about it and was planning on getting it eventually but today i got on youtube and one of the people i'm subscribed to dropped a review, which i haven't even finished watching but the guy describes it as a masterpiece in the first couple minutes and mention Jim Sterling saying its one of the most important games ever to be released and now i'm like "wtf. this must be a must get then".
is the game really that good? 2017 is crazy then
edit - this is the review btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NiyfG8Ctbo

Yes, it's amazing, but I hate how people get their expectations SO HIGH for certain games that they can't possibly live up to the image in their heads.
That being said, to me playing this game (even after Drakengard 1, 3 and Nier) is like playing MGS2, or Zone of the Enders 2, or Grandia for the first time. For some people that played FF7, this game is like playing FF7 for the first time for them.
It is a landmark achievement that is hardly perfect, but is much more than the sum of its parts.

Okay, I'm on Route B and I have a bazillion rad chips that I want to equip, but my chip space is only at 128 after buying stuff from the resistance camp vendor. Is there any way to increase it further? Or am I stuck fusing stuff?
128 is the cap, but have you paid attention to actually keeping the chip equip costs as low as possible by only fusing up low-cost chips? Just randomly fusing shit together will make for terribly sub-optimal results where chip space requirements are concerned.
You'll still be able to at some point
You can never be locked out of sidequests permanently as long as you keep playing.

I managed to complete the side quest where you
The feels.
find Emil's house, then track down the Lunar Tears for him. When I heard Emil and Kaine's themes at various points thoughout this quest it almost made me cry.

Just easier, which is a weird suggestion since you were complaining about steamrolling everything. I'd say you made the right call doing it in route A since it's a more interesting encounter that way. Looking back on it the golden robots in the desert were easily my favorite to fight in the entire game.
I had the same overleveling problem and if I could go back and do my first run of all the main endings over again it'd be to never use EXP UP chips. Hard mode helps a little but it feels like their defense and HP are the same so they still die too quickly even though they hit harder.

1. You get an extra scene if you say no before the ending plays out.
2. Doesn't matter.

Yea, something slight. Not even gonna bother to try and hype you or anything, just play it and see for yourself.

Starting Route C now. I'm mostly ambivalent towards Path B. It really could have been greatly condensed.

Ending E done. I'm going to put this aside for a while for Persona. But... damn that was great. Exceeded my expectations.
The game is a masterpiece for reasons specified in the reviewgame design and story integration.
Don't make any assumptions about how good the game is, because I find assumptions are what prevent people from enjoying it. ("This is good, but when does it become a 10/10 masterpiece??")
It's really the little moments that make NieR special.
What is the other one

Wow, blown away by the start of Route C. I got chills again lol. I'm feeling the opposite from the way ending A & B wrapped up right now. I won't have time to play again until next weekend too, damn the anticipation of where it will go is killing me.
