You can actually beat the credits offline, without help whatsoever. And it is not as hard as you might think it is. I mean, it is still fucking crazy hard but not that HOLY WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON CRAZY HARD as you might thought it might be.
And now I explain why that is:
So basically you take care of your deaths in the credits. Let me try to explain it.
1. If you die TOO much, the smaller words become invincible and you can only shoot the bigger words and even kill them faster but that doesn't give you anything since you can't progress any further.
2. You basically try not to die at all before you reach the first SQUARE ENIX (it's either LTD or INC), it's the first SQUARE ENIX regardless, after it comes some other big words like MARKETING & BOOK EDITING etc..
Now, here it gets interesting, because from here on out you start dying. No, seriously.
As soon SQUARE ENIX shows up you start firing it it doesn't matter if you die, because you have to die alot.
You basically get stronger everytime you die (it's either dying or shooting more enemies but I'm 99 sure it's dying. You don't get stronger everytime you die though. Only after a certain amount of deaths you become stronger. So let's say you've died enough and now SQUARE ENIX shows up, you start shooting it and it should die, just about it has shot its bullets itself.
FROM HERE ON OUT YOU STOP DYING! BECAUSE YOU WON'T GET ANY STRONGER THAN THIS!
I know... Stop dying, easier said than done...
But I'm not finished.
So, SQUARE ENIX kicks in, you shoot it fast and you focus only on the big words, only shoot them and shoot them as fast as you can, because that way you won't have to bother with the purple orbs so much.
3. After you reached the second SQUARE ENIX and even sometime before that you stay in the corner, in the bottom right corner or near the upper right corner and keep shooting to the left, because many little words appear and they come from above and you have to kill them fast because otherwise you can't shoot them because their bullets block your bullets.
4. My control layout is that you shoot with L1 (because I have evade on R1) and pod programs on L2 and R2.
5. You only focus on YOUR SHIP and the PURPLE ORBS among you. as you stay on the right border you don't have to bother with orbs behind you and you don't have to bother with the yellow orbs because you just shoot them away. Seriously. DON'T BOTHER WITH YELLOW ORBS AT ALL. Just focus on the purple bastard.
6. My english isn't perfect but I hope you get the idea.
I'm playing offline always, that's why I put myself to the challenge. This segment of this game is FUCKING HARD and I will do it alone and try to record it. So stay tuned and good luck yourself!
