How's the game so far

Pretty good! I'm just finishing up lunch and I'll go back to it. I feel like I'm missing a lot of things though. Is weapons shops the only way to get new weapons because I remember Drakengard had some super esoteric requirements to get more gear

The vast majority of weapons are found or acquired in the field. Fishing, sensor discoveries, boxes, quest awards, etc.

Honestly it's probably because the voice clip said "Sartre" but they had to change it to Jean-Paul for reasons, and didn't want to record the line again.

Maybe the beep is in the Japanese release too, I dunno.

It's still Sartre in the Japanese version and so it's unbleeped

Soo. Did the game not have anything about what the Drakengardverse has to do with Eve or did I just miss a text log somewhere. My money is on "this will be explained in the databook/novel/DLC" though

You don't want me owing you
PC version's working great for me so far. Resolution switching to windowed when I alt tab is a minor annoyance. Main problem I had out of the gate was that the game wasn't recognizing a PS4 gamepad, but InputMapper fixed that right up.

MORT cancels dance: interrupted by MORT
The game defaulted to my integrated graphics and when I switched it over to my video card it bugged out and only showed a white screen. I'm updating my graphics drivers right now to see if that fixes it.

Edit: driver update fixed things, hurray

Ugh, I think I'm going to have to forget sidequests for a bit and do some endings. Being far too tempted by those black bars. Also I want my heavy attacks back.

There's one involving flowers I have to do first though. Maybe get Speedstar done as well.

You can get a pod program from a side quest during the second playthrough that makes Speed Star trivial.

I did all three legit on my first playthrough. The last one was ironically not so bad. Two was a nightmare because of all the platforming.

So while it installs, quick questions. Hopefully without spoilers.
Endings, how many?
Anything missable? I know in the first game there were a few quests that if you didn't finish before the time skip, they'd be unfinishable.

And for anyone who's started the PC version already; how are the controls? KB+M good or should I just get my gamepad ready?

24 endings, 5 actual story ones (the rest are gag endings)

you can miss one thing but it's really obvious. if you don't get a quest done, don't worry; you'll get another chance later

26 endings, but all but 5 of them are gag endings, usually for loving something up. Like there's one you can get immediately after the prologue for removing your operating system chip.

You can't truly miss things but you may have to pick them up on a subsequent playthrough if you pass them by.

No idea about PC.

I thought I'd play the first few minutes to see how it went then come back to the game later if I still liked it.

Where did the last hour and a half go?

I played up to ending C and unlocked debug menu, chapter select, etc but now what? If I restart from that save file the game begins from what looks like route A again but with levels and gear carried over, is that the path to ending D? Or do I need to pick another character at the A2/9S choice, NieR 1-style? (still have a save file there)

tl;dr what are the reqs for endings D and E?

I just got a steam card with Popola on it. How heavily tied into the first game's story is Automata? I kind of thought not a lot since we're in the time from Grimoire Nier where Project Gestalt was pretty much on hold.

you load your path c clear file and then use the chapter select to pick the a2/9s fight, then choose the other character
