Yeah, it is. His stock rotates so you need to stop him every time and it might be there. I don't know how he works at his home base, I haven't found it yet.

Ah, I didn't realize his stock rotates. I also haven't found his home base. Think deep and then go deeper? Nice and vague.

I'm not sure it's a spoiler considering that it's literally there in the controls menu.

You can use that to remove 2Bs skirt. Although there's probably a specific use for it later.

Oh :downs: well at least I know what it does now.

I beat it last night, in terms of getting all the "main" endings. I still have 4 sidequests to do and a lot of miscellany to clean up to the extent that I feel like it. I think I was fairly completionist overall though and I clocked in at about 35 hours. This was on normal difficulty.

Thanks. I'm planning on selling my PS4 once May comes. But I want to beat Persona 5. However, I am literally in the middle of Odin Sphere, bu twill probably finish it in two weeks. I am wondering if I can beat Nier in a little less than a month.

Had a persistent hangup bug right at the end of Route A. Fixed it by just saving and reloading so 2B spawned from the save point thing rather than entering into a scene that was causing a lock up.

No spoilers please, but how do the boss fights in this game fare compared to other Platinum games? Cause if there's one thing that Platinum is really good at doing in any of their games is making some really fun and cool boss fights.

I had that plus texture flashing. Did your copy claim it finished downloading while playing? Are you sure it's fully installed in the first place? Restart everything once it is.

I saw several reports that the game was indicating it was fully downloaded but when the people checked their storage it had only downloaded 20gb (out of 40ish) so check that too. That plus the account juggling that would be required (for future dlc etc) has pushed me to wait for the NA release but I'm jonesin hard! Need me some sweet Platinum character action....

So I'm on my third play through and I have a weird question. Does anyone else have any of the main android voices playing back hosed up when they are controlling them? It's been going on for a while now and it has to be part of the game, it's just really weird.

I had that happen to me at the start of my third play through. In settings -> other (where you can toggle self destruct on or off) there's something like "voice modulation". Is that set to the middle?

This is from the demo but it holds true in the full game as far as I can tell.

I started my second playthrough and seeing the recording of me going through and looking at all the settings was great. Kind of makes me wish I had bothered to play/watch an LP of the first Nier.

So without spoiling what they involve and all, how many endings we looking at that are 'real' endings and not just 'yea if you delete your OS chip congrats on ending the game dipshit'.

From the vague things I've read, --five-- "main" endings and one joke ending are known about right now. I don't know how extensive any of the endings aside from A (and the joke one) are yet.

http://imgur.com/O5ubchz It's in this area, you need the scanning program for pod. The location may not be exact, i ran off a bit when I found it before I remembered to take a picture.

My understanding is 5 "real" endings and 20+ "joke" endings (25 was the number I saw thrown about).

A) cool.

B) I hope, deeply and truly hope, he skipped one just to gently caress with everyone, and constantly teases that that letter may exist.

I'd rather expect* there to be hidden endings Ü ,Æ and ß, and why not Ω for good measure, half of which unlock after 32 playthroughs, the others are timed to become available after 2018

*"expect" maybe being too strong a word here

Do you think the location is random? Or there a different desert treasure than the Phoenix spear

So when people were saying the full game is harder than the demo, most people said it was largely due to health items not being consumed automatically. I ran through the demo a few times on hard with automatic health consumption turned off and it still seems fine. So, is hard the right one for me? Or is the game more difficult from the demo in other ways too?

Or is it possible to just change difficulty at any time, so I can stop fretting and start on hard and change if necessary?

Also, if anyone interested in performance sees the Digital Foundry vid and thinks "Oh, a tech analysis should be safe from spoilers," it's kinda not. Depends on how much you want to avoid, but they detail a bunch of early game events and mechanics. Not huge stuff, but I'd have liked to have experienced it on my own and it has nothing to do with the technical performance so why is it even in there?

It's worth nothing that at a point, something happens in the first open world area and from that point on, the performance on a PS4 regular takes a pretty bad hit in general in that area and I'm pretty sure in saying that there's actually a memory leak in play there. You'll know what I mean when you see it. This game isn't a technical wonder like Uncharted 4 was. The DF video doesn't cover it.

But it plays like a god-drat dream and the PC version shouldn't have those problems, at least to this degree.
