Bahhhhh
Alright, good enough. I wonder why it wouldn't have triggered. That same site made it read as you get a message automatically after completing a main quest piece.
Oh well. Thanks.

Ahh so it's that sword. Yes it's locked on that route.
There's a chapter select later on so no worries. I had trouble triggering that quest myself when I went back though after I missed it as well. I thibk what triggered it for me was just using 2B on any chapter after the first encounter with adam and eve. I triggered it while staying in the resistance camp.
There were some novellas that added a little more to the story. When the complete strategy guide is released on the 28th there will be more novellas included. I'll take all the story I can get.

Yeah, feel free to do the opening mission on easy until you fully move past it and save. You can adjust the difficulty whenever you want. It's a pain.
I think the first mission is quite good once you're done with the opening shoot em up segments. But I feel like the main core of the game is following it's crazy story and traveling around the world doing side quests with fantastic stories and world building. As I've mentioned before, I feel like you get into a zen traveling around the open world, picking off packs of enemies as you work on side quests.

Timeaisis's complaints about dying during the first mission made me realize an important bit of foreshadowing during the prologue.
Super serious spoilers:
Super serious spoilers:
If you die during the prologue, you get ending W which says "The YoRHa force was annihilated.. And Earth went on to become a paradise for the machines." Note how it doesn't mention humans or the aliens. If they were alive then the ending would say "Earth went on to become a paradise for the Aliens." instead.

I agree, I kept talking to her in the Bunker to see what else she had to say lol. She probably couldn't get any work done.
HAW HAW HAW
I like it.
She doesn't sing the Japanese lyrics.
Stealth edit confusion. >_<
Oh haha, sorry. Stealth edit on my part.
I listened to it a few more times and she's definitely in the midst of a cry. Really cool to see them leave that in there.
They will be missed.
Hey, look on the Brightside. More time to spend playing this game!
What difficulty are you playing on? Hard can be pretty brutal, especially just starting out. It might be better to dial it back to Normal, at least until you clear the first area and can save, then move it back up to Hard when you feel more comfortable. If you're already on Normal then not much I can tell you.
Just try to get used to dodging, it's insanely over-powered in this game. I know you're mad right now, but trust me. You want to continue playing. It's amazing.
Well, finishing moves are literally glitched out of my game file... If I start a new game I'm able to do them again, but as of right now I can't.
With a level 90 enemy as a bullet cushion and it not once prompted me for the action nor did any of the enemies even fall into a state of "stun."
It's almost like the stun status doesn't even exist in my game save anymore.
I know one other person is experiencing this issue. Anyone else?
I tested in the debug room

I died at the end of the prologue as well and it's already me playing on normal. But once I played for the second time, it felt like a breeze because I was still coming to grips on the controls on the first time with it not having tutorials and all.

Well, having paid full price i've no other option but to keep playing.
I'm playing on normal. Was doing fine until the dual saw thing.
Oh well. I'm off to bed.
this made me laugh so fucking hard LOL
Okay, so I got ending A - I don't think I was expecting it to go quite so fast. Is route B like the first game in terms of allowing you to go back and do sidequests from
?
Overall, I'm definitely on board with what the game's doing and can't wait to see the rest, but found
to be conspicuous weak links so far, with the exception of their introduction scene. With a cast that's otherwise so endearing and full of personality - especially
; not quite so much for 2B given her status as a viewpoint character - they didn't manage to rise above mediocre cliched villain archetypes; actively bringing down what were otherwise fun fights with great presentation (the
is the most striking thing in the game I've seen to this point, the
battle was suitably climactic) with flat, uninteresting takes on stock characters. The Shadowlord, Devola and Popola all brought an incredible amount of pathos to their situations, but
didn't land at all.
In the absence of other information, I'm assuming she ends up with 2B.

Route B is just like Route A in that regard. Plus there's a large number of side quests that can be done over both Route B and Route A.
It's a good thing
Adam and Eve
Red Eye and Cult of the Watchers imagery all over Eve and the implications it has for the NieR universe.
Don't read too much into it and just enjoy the game.
His Majesty

Same impressions for me after 2 hours. I did like one of the later boss fights but the world is very stiff and lifeless so far. Still, the combat is pretty good and the music is also nice most of the times.

I did the Lost Girl sidequest on route A but now on route B it doesn't appear as completed and I have to do it again from scratch.
Was there anything else I had to do after
Was there anything else I had to do after

You should've been talking to her in the village iirc

I've just finished Route
and got through the first hour or so of Route
and hooollllyyyy shit. You lot weren't wrong with the hype. The
. I managed to survive long enough afterwards to get Ending
which was a struggle - I didn't know there'd be an ending for doing that but just felt like it was built for it haha. This came off the back of unfortunately having the whole
spoilt in another thread, but I had my suspicions anyhow.
Don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed the game up to this point and it's certainly had points that have really hit me in the feels but this section combined with the extended
towards the end of Route
is almost the first time it's given me the same sense of wonder/amazement as the first Nier. If I'm honest, before it felt like I was playing a really, really good game that I wanted to like more than normal because it's Yoko Taro and how long the wait has been...but it's definitely surpassed that now.
The reveal of the
is up there as an emotional moment. The little cut-scene after the
, but I can't even separate a part out of the beginning of Route
, it's exceptional. What a fucking game.
It literally feels like the game has just started. It makes me bummed out for those (particularly reviewers) who dropped out before this point.
None of this is anything most people in the thread doesn't already know but I only got through this sequence last night and just bursting to talk about it.

There's a reason whythey placed the first title screen during that sequence.
Haha very true...
With 2B sat in her quarters, putting on that flight/battle suit I was on the sofa like "OH SHIT IT'S GOING DOWN".

Really wish I'd known (at the end of route A)
that there was a point of no return so quickly in the game, I've only done 20% of side quests and it's a bummer that this happens with no warning.
Finished C-D-E ending yesterday night .
Wow what an awesome journey it was and on top of that

Well now you know when that point is.
Slowly coming back after being busy with Dark Souls 3. Yesterday I reached the final dungeon of Route B.
I'm SO HAPPY that (route B late part big spoilers and, I guess Nier 1 too)
I also did (character spoiler)
flower quest. I was not ready for that.... One of the things that makes you glad to have played Nier 1 too.

humans are dead. Thanks god no retcon!
Not sure what to think about Androids forming Yorha after that. I mean, in one side I understand androids showed feelings (Popola and Devola do so in Nier 1) but on the other side I dunno if they should be able to form new organizations, considering how limited they were on do just the things they were programmed for. Hell, they can't even learn any other song other than Song of the Acients.
Still I guess I don't know everything yet

I was super impressed with the English VA in this game generally, actually.
Normally I'd be the kind of person who would change the language to Japanese, but I didn't for this.
9S is definitely a highlight.
