Just did, but it just doesn't look like I'm able to target the statue in or out of a robot, with the entire area cleared, etc. Its a really strange problem. I have no idea what to do about this lol.

I doubt it's bugged. I dunno, it's weird lol, keep aiming around slowly I guess, stand right in front of the statue, hack the tallest robot, etc.
I alawys considered the shopping mall to be the north and rotated my camera accordingly

Are you perhaps playing on an Asian copy? Patch 1.06 messes things up a bit on that particular unit. So I'd say just taunt and attack to allow it to aggro and just hack it when it's target lockable.
Emil's theme deadass brings me close to tears when I'm in the right mood 😅

I use my character as the compass. I keep the mini-map in static mode, so north is always up. When I want to use the menu map, I position my character so that it faces north according to the mini-map. My character then serves as the compass in the menu map

Wait you can make the minimap static? Wow didn't know that. I haven't been tinkering with any settings.
I can see why the beginning of Route C got the reactions it did; they followed through on
In any case, it's taking a lot of effort to not just sacrifice every available moment to powering through the rest of the game.
Thanks.
crumbling the status quo really effectively. Though I'm beginning to wonder if 2B ever had a purpose beyond looking hot and having her system permissions violated - the combined perspectives of routes B and C make her look hilariously useless. I'll assume that'll change with whatever's going on with her consciousness and A2...

Do the side quests in route C. There aren't very many, but they are worth it.
I'm definitely planning on it, I've quite liked the sidequests so far, only skipping that
desert scanning one and Speed Star

So I got ending A on normal difficulty. I assume it is recommended to do a second (and third) playthrough? Also should I increase the difficulty to hard because the game has been a cakewalk so far.

Just load your save file. You can also change difficulty any time in game.
*sad fist bump*
What level are you? Might need to come back or change your chips.
Only partially

Do you mean after
Ending A
Can't stress enough how much I dislike the way this game's structure was marketed :/
Look, if you only finished "Ending" A you basically have seen maybe a third of the story and the real shit hasn't even gone down yet. I mean, didn't you think the ending you saw was
rather unsatisfying and felt like a fake Happy Ending
So yeah, it's not only "recommended", it's absolutely obligatory.

it just asks which story character to go first. Don't worry you'll get to do the other choice as well after a certain time.

I see the word "ending" a lot, and I don't think it's really fair to call it that. Using that word assumes that the game is exactly the same every time except for the very final sequences. These are definitely routes, so don't stop at route A thinking you've seen most of what the game has to offer.
They're called endings in-game.

Almost done everything now! 
Although I may give up at the last hurdle as that Reconnaissance Squad side quest sounds like pure BS

Just got started on route C and yeah, didn't see that coming. Although I'm not too pleased with the change yet.

Question:
Does it matter if I choose A2 or 9S when available, or will I go back and do the other one eventually anyway?
im prrtty sure it doesnt matter because you will have to do both anyways

Actually it's pretty easy. 95% unit is only needed. Those 95 are just those that are pretty easy to get. The 5% are the units that are rare spawns(the red colored machines) and require multiple reloading that are hard.
This is exactly how I felt. I deliberately took my time with A and loved it. It just kept getting better and better from there. I even replayed C because I liked it so much.

Hey all. I picked this up yesterday and I'm looking forward to playing it, but I haven't played NierR 1 nor the Drakengard games, but I intend to at some point. I have a copy of NieR 1 already. So I don't want to just watch plot synopses to get caught up to speed. Should I play everything else first or can I go right into Automata and miss very little?
If you already have it and want to play it anyways, i'd suggest to play Nier 1 first, there are some moments in Automata that are better if you played it and Automata will spoil you on a few elements.
The Drakengard games can be played whenever. I'd suggest to tackle those later since they force you to put up with some stuff like 3's hellishabyssmals framerate

Is it possible to change the title screen after the

Lunar Tears sidequest? I want to set it back to normal so my brother won't be spoiled by it when he starts up the game, because that was a big moment for me.

People who dislike what comes in Route C and onwards are rare, so hold on to your 2booty.
