OK team, I just watched the two endings I didn't do and a story analysis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXWenjw7ls) and I'm ready to go. Booting up Automata now.

This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
This game is insanely good and playing gives me powerful nostalgic feelings of being a young dude going toe to toe with an oddball Dreamcast games that I bought knowing nothing more about than 1)it looks weird and 2)gamestop was trying to get rid of it. Please buy asap.

OK I just got the first two endings of Nier 1. I'm debating whether or not I should go for the third and fourth or just watch them on YouTube.

I really just want to play Automata but I feel guilty playing games without learning the lore first.

Hey friend I'm on the same journey as you, about how many hours do you think this took you? To do both endings total

use speed salves and try to avoid jumping because you lose all your momentum when you do

Save screen says 39 hours, but I did 95% of the side quests. If you just critical path it you can probably get it all done in like twenty hours probably.

Honestly, doing the extra two endings will probably only take two hours and I feel like a Bad Gamer for not doing them but I'm having too much fun with Automata to care too much.

haha I did exactly that... as a confession, I played the HK version first but I still had NA preordered, but whats nice is all the trophies carried over, just not saves. anyhow, they changed something in localizing to NA which is weird.. the robot Jean-Paul is called Sartre in the HK and JP versions, and in dialogue, 9S calls his Sartre by name but instead of rerecording, they beeped the line lol

I guess localizers thought American people wouldn't know who Sartre is so now that whole thing reads as like Look at this weird French robot. I got the reference though (I read books)

It might be a rights issue with his estate not wanting the name used and it could only be enforced in NA

I'll give this a shot. Could also have been unfortunate timing I suppose because I was in a new area and up to this point the game has been smooth like 95% of the time
