NieR: Automata |OT| "I wouldn't expect too much from this game if I were you."

Yea, Nier also had this tho not as much. In the middle of the protags homevillage for example is a girl playing the lute, and the music dynamically changes the closer you get to her (Or the farther away respectively).
Drakengard 3 from the same composer also had things like the intoner mode.
The main characters godlike abilities were coming from the power of music, so whenever you entered intoner mode during gameplay the music suddenly started to play louder and have vocals as well.
Keiichi Okabe, composer of these soundtracks, is simply a god.
What the bloody fuck are you doing wasting your time GAF then?????
Aside from the bit of repetitive content, route B has been pretty damn awesome with the new mechanics and all the cool stuff relating to them. Unfortunately I've gotta stop for today, but man, I can't wait to finish this and move on to route C tomorrow!
It's marvelous. Probably my favorite so far.

Speaking of the OST
This is by far my favorite so far. No only is the song amazing but the whole section from beginning to end was stunning.

I don't know why, but the
in the intro made me laugh lol.
So far the game seems like a more refined version of Nier 1 with better controls, even the plot;
I'm curious on how the game connects with the original Nier, cause

the machines in the desert gave me shades vibes. The boss doesn't even attack you at first.
I'm curious on how the game connects with the original Nier, cause
all the humans in Nier 1 area (Japan) should have gone extinct.
Haha what the hell, you monster. I would never had thought to do the same thing.
The ones you did don't appear again and the ones you didn't finish you have to start from scratch. Also get some exclusive side quest to that route.
You get new ones and you can also finish those you left in route A (if it's a multiple-step quest you have to restart it over again though). Those you finished carry over to the next route

Route B was great now in the middle of C and whew
It's fucking me up
its weird to imagine Route B as being any different since so far, 5-6 hours in,
Im sure im horribly wrong of course.
9S has been at my side the whole time, so except for the adma and eve fight where I guess you fight the other one, I dont see much room for changes.

It changes a whole lot afterwards.

as I'm on route B and last night I just finished
the Adam and Eve fight, I was basically expecting things to start really changing up. The prologue was completely different from 9S point of view, but everything else has been basically the same aside from some randomly spliced in bonus scenes. Granted those scenes were pretty awesome, like giving new meaning behind the beautiful robot's insanity

Some of these side quests are they even worth it?
Wandering Couple... 50k really?
Half wit inventor? 180k? WTF?

Yes, so very yes.
I love that they did 2 versions of this track for the English and Japanese dubs. I think I like

Yes, purely for great side-stories purposes.

Regarding spoilered question above,
was almost worth it to me for the
alone. Left that on
the whole way through my first B run. YMMV heh
But more seriously, many sidequests including
have fancy pod programs as rewards, never mind interesting stories.
Inventor
alien mask
9S
But more seriously, many sidequests including
Wandering Couple
Don't touch any big missiles.
Hell yeah, this is great too. Even better when listening to it now, in fact, cause I can fully concentrate on the song.
I'm gonna love listening to the soundtrack after I'm finished with the game. I didn't think it was possible, but this might have topped the original Nier's OST.
I just received the Nier: Automata world guide
Honestly, i am disappointed.
While i'm not able to read it or anything, it doesn't seem to be much more than a typical strategy guide with two novellas and some concept art thrown in.
Which is weird cos there's an actual, more elaborate strategy guide out there as well, while this one doesn't even cover all sidequests.
This is certainly not the kind of in-depth book like Grimoire Nier or Drakengard 3's equivalent with lore explanations and developer interviews.
The good side of it on the other hand, we english speaking folks won't miss out ona lot if it never gets fully translated.

Engels... Noooooo!
I forgive you.
Maybe not you normie newbies, Taro fans fully expected a good story.
All these new people going 'nobody expected a story like this!!!!" Is kinda annoying not gonna lie, Nier became a cult classic for a reason, Taro has a fanbase for a reason

Wandering couple, yes for mats and pod program. Half wit inventor debateable, if you need meteorite shards then yes.
Started route C today and I am still using the beginning sword leveled to 3 and the first heavy I found. Have not messed with any of the other weapons
Speaking of C
wow the difficulty ramps up. Love it.

This is so good
I'm deep into chapter C (no idea how much is left) and I'm just having fun killing things
What a wonderfully bizarre game

A2 is amazing and I don't want to pick 9S. Even worse because I have no interest in a dumb misunderstood revenge tale. I'll get there and I'm sure it pays off, but yea. Just reached the point where A2 is doing favors for Pascal's village. Funniest revelation of the game so far is allowing Pascal to live, then immediately getting a quest to get favors from Pascal. "We aren't so far gone that we kill machines after they surrender" I really hope it plays out the same way if you kill him
What a wonderfully bizarre game

I just did that last night D:
Noooo, dangit. That's not very nice of your friend

Eventually, you'll have to buy amazon payment cards tho
The 3 Disc set if ordered early comes with a 4th bonus disc.

That point of no return bit in Route A is not very obvious. I was trying to finish
and activated it on the way there. Guess I'll have to wait to see how that and a few others pan out after I finish all the routes. Unless I have a save from early enough, then maybe I'll jump back in to see how that one ends at least.

Ehh....I'd say just use some EXP boost chips and you'll be fine
I've been enjoying the difficulty bump for the most part, majority of the game has been untouchable murdering anyways. I've def ran into a couple of walls but that just means I've had to get good and choose chips accordingly
