yes, don't give up but accept the help of others and you'll make it through
Yes do it.
if your super good you can complete it, but tons of people are not good alone and need help and support from others sometimes. Its a nice lesson about life
Up to you if you think you can beat it without out. Just pick yes.
someone had sacrifice their save to rescue you.

Godlike concept. This is easily my GOTY so far, and one of my favorites of all time.

Wait... so in the credits... who is
the god that beat it the first time without a savior?

Was talking to some folks about this, and speculate SE staff was already there as placeholders prior.
Oh damn lol. Guess I'll get that weapon in another play through.

Been playing for god knows how many hours.
Some of the best world building and characterization in this industry.
Soundtrack is overwhelmingly good,GREAT npc writing,stellar crisp combat.
Guys please buy this.This team needs to stay together,keep making games and getting big budgets.
Definitely platinum's best game by quite a big leap.

Well
the choir in the background is made up of the staff including Taro himself so it isn't hard to imagine that the first ones were seeded from the staff and Taro as well
Imagine a yoko taro game with platinum based on mgs rising. The stories he could tell in that world plus platinum's gameplay. I'd be so into it lol.
But another nier game I'd also love to see soon. I don't wanna wait half a decade to get another one lol.

Fishing is the quickest way. There is a place in the city over that waterfall near the wooden bridge where you can fish Karps. They sell for 2.5k-5k.

It doesn't have to be nier, just being Taro and Platinum is wonderful enough. Only thing now I want is a higher budget, as far as I'm concerned I got my dream game.

Sorry to rain on your parade but square could never do that, Taro actually releases his games and square wouldn't let that happen with a higher budget.

Baby steps.
We went from wondering if Yoko Taro could ever work on decently budgeted retail-priced games ever again after back-to-back bombas to now being relatively confident that he'll probably continue to have a safe spot in Square's product investment portfolio.
Heck, it would not be too surprising if other publishers are starting to take notice of him and may want him to make a new IP for them.

It's the other way around.
You can get a joke ending from the secret boss.
Fist weapons work really well, and the spear throw attack does too. I rarely bothered with
hacking enemies.

You're using a long range attacker so play them like that. Mix that up with
hacking
I highly recommend investing in those stat boost items. They help a lot.

Can you tell me where it is without being too spoilerish please.

The secret boss or the ending? The former is
a semi-complicated series of events.
just requires you to die to a certain attack.
yeah, as far as I am concerned bigger budgets could actually be a hindrance!
All I want is this team to stay together ,and keep making games.
Current budget for Automata is good.Possibly the highest Taro or Platinum every got.

Nah, hacking is not OP. It's super OP.
Seriously, I'm one shooting so many enemies that I'm beginning to feel sorry for them.

Just keep on keeping on. There are no special requirements or anything. You'll know when you've reached the end.

Without spoiling anything, NG+ in this game is not the exact same old, same old thing that you get in other games. It's a continuation/expansion of the story.
I haven't played the game but I'm basically told that each time you beat the game you essentially unlock another chapter. Each playthrough is a different chapter. And it eventually has a final ending.
Late Route A spoilers: I've been thinking all morning about the part in the factory with the
. That whole part was just done so well. The tone itself was crazy but the music just elevated it to beyond memorable:

People call them routes and endings, but really it's just times where they arbitrarily roll the credits a few times during the game. You can just play through straight without worrying about doing anything special and you'll get all the main, non-joke, "endings"
You choose the option that pops up during the credits and
play an annoying minigame, make sure you're connected to the servers or it's basically unbeatable.
just get ending D, the credits roll and you can get E by stopping the deletion of data as 042

Yeah, Routes in Automata is way more streamlined. If anything, I wouldn't even call it routes/endings.

It's closer to:
A:
first half of story from 2B's perspective.
first half of story from 9S's perspective.
2nd half of story with different endings choices.

a story of divergent timelines & routes
a single story that has a mid-season finale, etc with multiple outcomes at the end.
