Add a Persona card in there..
Yep.. very cool. Not quite bastion but still good.
Put something on her chest, maybe even add some background stuff. A facial hair from something. Maybe a pin on her hat or chest? And a tat on her arm. Maybe a rage tattoo.
Oh my god what happened to your avatar? Oh Porra/Patorra
Throw some shadow in there.

Playing my 2nd playthrough on Nier.
Knowing what shades actually are does change how I feel about killing them. Especially the small ones and collecting the old school book item.
Now think about this: Kaine always knew

I know Matt and Woolie weren't big on Sunset Overdrive, but as someone who rarely plays open world games outside of Asscreed, this game has been pretty solid. Traversing the world isn't completely flawless so far (although still very fluid), but from what I hear from Giant Bomb, as you get farther in the game you unlock traversal skills to make it even better and so far that's what its looking like with the super bounce.

Fuck. I haven't gotton to the part that is explained. Makes sense with her personality though.

(Nier 1st playthrough spoilers)
She never tells you, in fact there's a lot about Kaine that she doesn't tell you.
It's never explained per se, but the 2nd playthrough will have her occasional in-battle comments like "Shut up! Just die!" etc. make more sense in context

Yeah. From what I understand playthrough 1 is about Nier and playthrough 2 is more about Kaine. I've always heard that the 2nd ending is the real ending. Not much about the endings after that.
The only thing that needs improvement now is turning her into a cyborg like Rex Power Colt from Blood Dragon.

It's because of
her being half possessed by Tyrann is why she understands what the shades are saying, and since you only start hearing him on the second playthrough, by extension that's when you first learn what they're saying.
NieR does some very clever reinforcing of narrative with gameplay.
The last ending is the final and true ending...

I'm not spoiling anything when I say this, but in Drakengard/Nier, the last possible ending is always the canon ending.

She speaks with Tyrann at the beginning of B route, who is a Shade that is differentiated by his bloodlust rather than by being capable of rational thought and speach
She's got the darksign and the triforce now.

technically, all endings are canon. Even Drakengard 2. But that's okay, because
D2's Ending C ends up fucking over the world big time once D1's Ending E rolls around.
skLaFarebear

Well technically the games run (Drakengard 3 spoilers)
on a multi branch universe. All endings exist in the universe, but the one's that don't lead to any results are immediately sealed off, as seen in Drakengard 3's endings A-C
I didn't talk about game explaining Kaine from that angle. Yes, we're told why she knows very much later on in 2nd playthrough, but the fact that she does know is implied from pretty early in the game

How long does it take to get all the endings for the games anyways?
Well she has a Liam so maybe she can play P4G and join in on the terrible waffle wars.

I know Endings C and D only take a few hours each, as by that point no new story elements are introduced except for the very end, so you can just blitz through those runs real fast.

Ok I know in Drakengard 1 I got the final ending. Never played Drakengard 2 and only got the first in 3. Will work towards them. Yeah and Kaine
spoke with the shade

Oh man, I can't wait till you finish Nier and get back to Drakengard 3. Everything goes to some real shit after Ending A, but considering you finished Drakengard 1, you probably already know that.
ArclightBorealis

Just a reminder. Once you've finished everything in NieR, make sure to read Grimoire NieR.
The amount of stuff not in the game present in that book is staggering, holy shit.

Oh so you have to replay the whole game?

Only the last half. Endings B onward start you after a certain point in the story.
G'night, friender.

You go through the entire game for Ending A, then the game starts you back at the halfway point and sets you on the path for B. Every playthrough after each ending starts you at that point. You have to get the endings in order.
Well, technically not true. You can get either C or D on your third playthrough, but you wanna save D for the very end. Trust me.

The only roadblock after Ending B is needing to get all the weapons.

Oh shit, I forgot about that.

Ah alright, so they're automatic/the game tells you how?
That sounds like a ton of fun.
This could or could not be true

There are several quests that have to be done because there are weapon rewards. 2 in the Village and 2 in Facade
They cutting you off from the crack, you should be thankful.
