Definitely start at Normal. You'll probably get some really good upgrades by the end of the 1st playthrough so I'd recommend bumping it up to Hard when that starts to become boring. Be prepared though as enemies will do at least x5 damage on Hard mode.
Okay, thanks. Is there an easy way to get a DS4 working in this? No native support through steam, still have to use DS4Windows?

Are there new sidequests in route B?
That's a temporary buff you've most-likely gotten from recovering the body of another player or from using a consumable buff.
I think so, I went under the
Amusement Park

Oh ok, thanks!
Game region. That boss is named after a real person who died recently enough that Square Enix wanted to cover their asses. The minor character Sarte was also renamed to "Jean-Paul" (and any lines saying his original name bleeped out) in the overseas release as well.

Thanks. I've been updating it slowly, but more help the better!
Ahh ok, thanks, yeah they were playing on the Japanese version.

I agree wholeheartedly but PLEASE spoiler tag that.
You can sell things that state "Can be sold for money"
I found two things with that message which are needed for a side quest though. Luckily they're super easy to get and only one of each is needed, so even if you sold them you'll get them back easy.

Special thanks
Do not watch if you want to avoid spoilers.
You get another checkpoint after the second SQUARE ENIX, a third SQUARE ENIX 
I think, I'm doing a break now, though. I want to repeat the game, because I was overleveled, this time I'm not doing sidequests.
End game spoiler stuff.
I'm pretty much ready to put the game down for a bit now - although I maybe go back to it to clean up side quests and get the couple of weapons I seem to have missed. Such a good experience, this year just keeps delivering.
The throwbacks to Drankengard and Nier were done so well in this. Often subtle enough that it wouldn't confuse first time players but apparent enough to satisfy fans.
I lost my shit when I walked into the Library as A2.

So I just got Ending K, and well... gee. Lost the last hours progress.
This is my first time with a game like this. If there are numerous endings, how should I be organizing my saves?

i paused the game and screamed inside.
When the music started playing...
I had similar reactions going in the
Lunar Tear room and hearing Kaine's theme and Emil's theme when you find his home.
Lmao ending K
Jackass even warns you that you may die, largest flag ever for a Yoko Taro game. I saved right before I sampled that delicacy
On a different note, I remember a bonus animation where you can pet Pod. I read that it was done by using the touch pad on PS4. Well... there's no touch pad on the XBO controller. Anyway to trigger it still?

Changing pod ammo types changes your ammo in the flying sections. Why didn't I know this even after getting Platinum? Lol

I noticed the delay when playing the PC version but got the impression that the PS4 demo was fine unless I'm not remembering correctly?
So is the delay the same on both versions?
yea. the subtitles are dubtitles, not Japanese translations, so they are off both timing wise and translation wise
Missiles carried the shooter sections for me. Just hold down fire and concentrate on dodging shit.

OK, so I'm on lvl. 22 right now after 7 hours, but it seems that there has been no change on the amount of chips I could equip. Will that ever change? How?

What's interesting. If you choose to
Buy storage capacity in the bunker/resistance camp.
erase your save. It does actually not erase all your save. You get a new background and the settings are still saved. Someone managed to beat the game again and sacraficing again after the first time? Would be interesting to see if the background changes yet again.

Reached ending A.
I feel like I just finished the tutorial. Can't wait to see what else the game has in store, it's absolutely fantastic.

Enjoying my first few hours with the game, at the point where you make some deliveries between two early settlements after the Amusement Park.
Don't really have a handle on Pod upgrades yet, should I worry about farming mats for Lv. 2 now? No idea where to find most of the stuff this vendor wants. Any of these programs available for purchase essential? Find myself leaning on range more than melee but starting to feel weaker and want to spend wisely.

did you buy all the space you could?

Oh, disappointing to hear.
Also ambient voices are not subbed so you miss out on certain lines..
doesn't really matter to me cause english version is very good anyways and my preferred way of playing through the game. But its just something to watch out for for those who want to play through the whole game in Japanese

Huh. I didn't even know you could buy those. I thought the lady in the resistance camp just generated chip configs for you.
yeah, do that
I bought out all the space first thing...even now i still don't think its enough even maxed out, there is no way to make the perfect build

Made a bunch of progress. Fought the Amusement park boss, and it was epic!
Progressed further to
Enemy levels increased to around 20s, and I'm still 14. So need to gain some levels now.
Btw, if anyone wants to try and see if they hear that low pitch noise near the pod, see below in the pod C location video. I could hear it pretty clearly, but it would be interesting to know if anyone here can't hear it.
It trying to hack me was like wtf! And then using other battle androids as weapons, wow! It was one mighty machine.
Progressed further to
Machine Village, and it was a nice pleasant area. Shit got real soon after when the Goliath attacked, and now the flooded city is exposed. Let's see where this goes.

Nothing is missable.
First area doesnt have a save, you can put it on easy then change it back to normal after the opening level if you want.
There's no auto save, and you can't save until after you beat the demo boss.
Fanservice.
