the game is definitely too easy in normal but i don't mind, i don't think this game gets more fun if it becomes more challenging, the combat isn't deep enough for it (even tho i keep learning new moves by accident like 45 hours into the game lol)
At least we got jean-paul. Decartes would have been great though.
yeah, and simone de beauvoir, and marx and engels and such
sartre is cool, but i spent a bit trying to assign some meaning as to why like hegel is like a giant sand worm robot and shit but i gave up lol, i think yoko taro probably just found it cool or something
it's kind of what i find sometimes hard to balance in these games
i like the pantyshot cute girls killing robots with katanas but i have trouble then going back to the philosophical stuff, specially cos whatever reason there is to justify the gratuitous anime stuff is probably really stupid (like it was in nier 1)
anyways the existentialist stuff is my favorite part of nier 2, there's like a meanginlessness that's really pervasive in the game (this is kind of a remnant from nier 1, but it feels like it's twofold here since there's no real "rescue my daughter" quest to drive you) that i enjoy quite a lot but cmon, how can there not be a robot called rene!
