I hope we get some more costume & accessories DLC, for example:
Zero's flower in the eye accessory.
and Kaine's outfit.

So route C... yea as an action game, this is awful. As a nier game it's great and platnium still feel like a good fit for the game.
It is good. Different, but good. How it's going to resonate with you compared to Nier's story depends on how you end up liking the themes and characters, but this is definitely a Taro Yoko game.
oh I don't see it on the shop... do you have to get it from a quest or something?

I've got too many games so far this year and i have Zelda on friday but sod it, i'm going to try to get the t-shirt edition pre-ordered today. Even with some flaws what i've seen and heard so far makes this unmissible to me and that it's Yoko Taro in fine form together with Platinum... bought. I've only sat on the fence because of Switch release but yolo! 
You can buy it during the 3rd playthrough iirc.
Oh I need to be on 3rd playthrough...

Weird beacause i already had it during my 1st run
Hit it once.
This is good to hear. Was wondering if I'd have to bump it up to Hard on my first playthrough but I'll stick with Normal.
Played up to the introduction to the
Zone. Thought it was strange that I hadn't found any more pod secondary modes, went to the bunker and noticed an elevator I hadn't used, bought like 6 abilities and an extra 20 pod program slots. This is substantial change, should help with variety at the least.
That self destruct thing was so pretty dumb, that's the most gratuitous "battle damaged" costume change I think I've ever seen. However we're talking about 2B's butt here, so subtly is well and truly out the window concerning that.

Alright, finished all the main endings!
Ending E, man. I never thought credits would make me an emotional mess, but here we are.

Not that sensitive to spoilers myself, but can you guys try to mark them? A post that's all spoilers could be anything and some people don't want to play with fire with what they click on.
in case you wanna know where one is hidden
When you enter the big empty desert, move to the left and a bit inside the area. When you're near it you will hear a high-frequent peeptone that becomes louder the closer you get to it.
Yes, you don't gotta worry about missing anything in that regard

Sartre's melancholy question:
How do you get out of the area where the girl is in the desert? I found her but couldn't get back as you have to drop down to that area. I tried going back to the boss room and got smashed by level 48 machines. Help.
I'm only on my first playthrough, about 8 hours in, I think. Beat
Really enjoying the game, although I don't exactly feel good (nor bad) about traversing large distances to do side quest after side quest. Thankfully, there's fast travel now. I'm finding the combat to be really fun because of how fluid it is, despite my initial disappointment with the number of combos you can actually do with any one weapon. Also got my first additional Pod earlier, and it's a small but really cool addition to my repertoire of combat options.
I know there's a whole bunch of endings, in fact, I've already gotten two cause I screwed up a couple of times. But what I'm really curious about is all this talk of second and third playthroughs and Routes A and B. Is a second playthrough, which I'm assuming is Route B, going to be significantly different from the first? If anyone would be kind enough to answer my question, please do so without spoiling me!
The fucking soundtrack, though. Jesus. I love the themes that play in the

so much.

I'm pretty sure you can just climb up the cliff you jumped off from.
The only other way is through the bossroom you already tried (And later on quick travel ofc) . Just run past the enmies, they'll spawn ad infinitum in that room anyways.
Let's jus say there is some repetitiveness involved but you definitely don't want to miss out on it.

Almost 50 hrs, just started the 4th region and no signs of getting tired of this game. I have a problem.

So I know the gameplay is good, but I didn't like the original nier for its gameplay. How is the story? Is it as heavy as nier 1

....You do know where the OT is from right....
So I'm being really thorough with the side quests and haven't really progressed the first play through much and was wondering if on the other play throughs, does your side quest progression carry on? If so, I'll leave some of them for the other playthroughs, I really dig the game but I'd be lying if if I didn't say I wanted to finish it before horizon/Zelda.

90 % of weapons done. Feel free to ask me where they are...but if you can tell me
I'd be greatful.
How to get Emil to sell me his fist weapon, or getting to castle roof
Do you know where
this is located? As for the Emil weapon, you need to beat him to get it. Here's a video.
Huh. Curious. Bit disappointing, but alright, I'm in. Thanks!

lol the games
opening credits
You haven't finished it in the slightest.
You get that from the mission that
requires you to find a desert rose for Operator 6O
Which is available after you complete the
"Terminal Repairs"
EDIT: Beaten.
I did the quest and got the reward but I don't have the sword. Oh well, it's not the first quest that hasn't worked properly for me.
