I'm kind of frustrated right now. Trying to trigger the
side quest.
is not where it's supposed to be, at the Shopping Mall.
Do I need to be done Route A to see it? I'm currently at the
main quest.
Someone please help, this side quest sounds really cool.

It's very very good. Play the demo to see if you like the base gameplay. Final game is pretty similar only with an open environment and more RPG elements (plug in chips to customize your style, more weapons and programs, etc.).
I didn't play Final Fantasy so I can't really compare the two. But, speaking as someone who did not like the first Nier outside of the music, I am extremely happy with this one. One of my favorite games this generation.
^
One of the best stories and soundtrack of this generation also, but that was going to be by default, awesome dorohedoro avatar btw
For those who could not stomach the roughness of the original game, the polish Platinum brings to the presentation, while not perfect still being a lower budget title by Platinum standards, elevates Yoko Taro's presentation to new heights and allows it to shine
This is def not a Deadly Premonition, Drakengard 1-3 or Nier scenario

What if I was like a billionaire who loved the game so much that I bought 500,000 copies and gave them all out for free? Would we get another game?
And then Taro as the perfect troll he is makes all the screen transparent in every cutscene of NieR 3.
I wanna say there's no way this game comes out looking worse than XV, but I guess I'm not allowed to yet, so meh...

yup, freaking bought it two times... one times earlier on HK store, and one EU collector edition! Wasn't planning to, but the temptation was too high, i couldn't wait

Same, I could have gotten it cheap from Amazon if I waited, but I didn't want to take that chance with spoilers and if anyone deserves it, it's Yoko Taro.
Ended up buying it once through Amazon and once through the HK PSN.

Thanks, I'll wait and see.
I am also double dipping on this game. Physical which will remain sealed and the HK digital version I'm playing now.
edit^ double dipping here as well, playing a digital copy now and getting a physical one (steelbook) later on.
someone here mentioned the "Amusement Park grinding method", with that enemy giving 15k exp or something, he didn't however mention that said enemy is level 80
I went there with the promise of easy levels but I faced the sadness of my attacks doing 0 damage instead.
it's really interesting the way trigger that fight. I feel like most people don't even realize that 9S can do such things
also, did I already mention how good this game is. because it's really good, really *really* good.

well to be fair you don't really need to grind except for the
secret boss fight that's lvl 99... when you'll be like level 75, the hack will one-shot this lvl 80 boss and you will gain like 4-5 level at once (if you equip exp gain + to 100 %)

I don't know but I'd say do it
Seriously though, think about it. If more Nier from Platinum and Taro becomes possible...you'll get better, improved mechanics from Platinum's side and more bonkers stories from Taro...I mean the best is practically yet to come.
So I made it to ending B and played a little after that. So far I'm pretty confident saying this is Taro Yoko's best game overall. It's really, really good.
Still, beginning of the route after ending B was a little frustrating
I died more times there than during the rest of my playthrough. Idea was interesting, execution didn't make it very fun unfortunately.
Also, I basically got Bayonetta's
now. The amount of customization options for combat makes it really fun.

when 2B gets corrupted and you have to make it to the other end of the map while periodically losing control of your character.

It's got most of the hits from it in addition to a LOT of great new tracks. The month long wait for the release will be hell
I know, I'm playing on hard but once you reach ng+ the difficulty can be quite trivial if you're using extremely broken (stackable) chips, I definitely don't need more levels at the moment.
I just wanted to try that method and see how good/quick it was, then, if needed, use it to gain some levels for whatever secret boss(es) the game throws at me.
IMO, it is about equal, in different ways
if only i could understand french

as much as i love nier automata, and yeah it's a pretty good score, gameblog is one of the worse french website outhere... no objectivity at all, sucks every editor by scoring lots of game WAY too high
but here's a quick translation for you :
+ Did everything better than the first one
+ Unique style and atmosphere
+ Really well done story and characters
+ Epic and Solid action
+ Really varied
+ break the 4th wall a lot
+ Amazing soundtrack
+ Often beautiful...
- ...But can also be really ugly
- Empty world (even if it's justified)
- Some repetitivity to get to the end

Its another 9, and the bullet-point pro's and cons when Google-translated to English are hilarious. Example: plus point - "Diabetes varied". ?!? : D

So... this is an amazing game. By far my GOTY.
Wanted to ask a few questions:
a)
b)
Wanted to ask a few questions:
a)
When they talk about how there's a backdoor set-up in Yorha, does this mean that every time they get close to winning the war against the machines, something like what happens in the third playthrough occurs? And who exactly caused this to happen? IIRC, the top secret report stated that a few personnel were in the know about the true meaning of the project. Could these be the operators?
Also, I actually recall a suspicious NPC you can talk to at the beginning of the game in the bunker within the command room. She's on the upper level and says something about "They haven't noticed yet". Could that be tied into this?

b)
Who the hell is the ghost/hologram girl that you can sometimes see in cutscenes? Here's an example from Liam's stream: https://youtu.be/u5zDur3LZvw?t=55m1s
And you can see her at other points in the game. Another notable one to me is when on the second playthrough as 9S, after Adam, you take your flight unit to go to Earth to support 2B to fight Eve. In the small cutscene of him getting into the unit you can see the girl.

I never played it except for that demo, and I got bored of it. ILL buy FF7 though, and I played IX on ps3 and X on ps2 and made it really far but stopped for some reason. But I liked those games
I loved dark cloud 2 and plan to get ni no kuni but I dont have the jrpg résume others do
Oh a demo! Ill try it then
You should also be aware timeffect that the demo does not represent the game 100%. The demo has a larger focus on hand to hand combat, and while you will be doing that a lot of that in the game itself, its much more varied in things to do, and should NOT be considered a traditional straightforward platinum action game in its complexity or priorities
Just a reference.

you can climb the tree by runing on it, it saves a little time! not really any other advice than that, it takes a few try but you can manage it pretty easily!
here's how to do the third one : you must go to the left and just follow the path around the crater until you reach the goal! It will be pretty close but it's doable
Aww too bad
I feel like
Accord being around fully would break the story, as she's obviously a higher level than anyone else we've seen in the Drakengard or Nier worlds, what her mission is makes her almost a god level figure compared to the rest in the story, and this is very much a mortal tale of much lower complexity androids and machines than she. Having her around would trivialize some of the drama, which is why i think we've only seen her in a game where she's trying to stop all the shit from happening in the first place at the source

Ohh I mean I've played through. I should have said that I know
the red girls from the tower
Looks like she has curls/drill hair and blonde instead of black hair. Maybe it was just another thing I missed? Since at the end, they all looked the same anyway.
