Veotax posted:Maybe a stupid question, but do the items that say "can be sold for money" have any other use? I'm not selling something that can also be used for upgrades or quests, right? Machine cores and jewelry (stuff like necklaces but not gems) are fair game. There are some actual upgrade materials that say "can be sold for money" so don't trust it I'm on the edge about saying it's safe to sell books because I faintly recall upgrading something with a dictionary

The more random seeming things like dye, water, dictionaries are pod upgrade materials.

There's a rare item desert rose where you need five of them for a quest, but it spawns five(?) of them in the quest. I also don't think they actually show up in the wild anyway, only as quest rewards.

Honestly, if you desperately need money, just equip some drop rate chips and then go to town on some enemies. Useless chips and machine cores will drop and they're all really resellable at a good profit. I read the other day you can just simply use weapons with Machine Discount in an early chapter to bring the cost of Thick Dictionaries from the Amusement Park vendor way down and then sell them on at a profit on each, so essentially, it's infinite money. The discount effect is meant to stack too.

I also don't think they actually show up in the wild anyway, only as quest rewards. Actually they do. I found a bunch outside the quest. Also note that apparently item prices go up in the later half of the game so you'll be raking in more dough by waiting until then to sell everything.

Nebrilos posted:There is a specific song from this game I am trying to find the name of. It sounds just like City Ruins (Rays of Light), but is much slower and doesn't have an instrumental track (it's vocal only). It isn't City Ruins (Shade). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Can you tell me what part of the game (roughly) you hear it? I can try to look for it. From the description I'd assume it was the Quiet + Vocal version which I don't think anyone's uploaded separately, but you just said it's not that.

Out of curiosity, am I the only one who's going thru the game nice and slow, doing sidequests as I find them? I'm at the 14 hour mark and I just opened the hole in the city down to the Sunken City. On route A. I love the game to bits, but I see people be like "I beat the game in ten hours" (and they mean ending A) and I'm just like  . Are these people just aggressively skipping all the content the game tries to give you? Some of these sidequests are amazing!Pisseth off should become part of the standard stage direction for Romeo & Juliet from now on, imo

Seems about the same pace I was going at on my first playthrough, so you're definitely not alone. Some people are just allergic to sidequests, it's just how things are. They're the same people who love to tell people just how they skipped half the game. I don't understand them, but if they don't want to get the full value out of the game, their loss.

There's a lot of really funny stuff (a lot of it involving Jackass) you can do in Route A, actually. ghostinmyshell posted:I really wish more streamers would use Counter it is so amazing in this game. They just drop randomly. Sadly, the unit info doesn't tell you which chips that enemy type can drop, but they most definitely all have very specific drop lists. One important trick is that you can often fuse a diamond chip with a regular chip only 1 slot greater and it'll be the same as fusing two diamond chips. That's the way I have the majority of my higher level diamond stuff. Fuzz fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 19, 2017 |

I've been blowing him off until I'm rolling in cash. Also I love the songs that play after completing some quest. Any idea how big the soundtrack is? It has to be pretty big.

That video I posted earlier has every variation of each track on the jukebox as its own single loop, which clocks to about 6 hours. Most soundtracks give each track 2 loops and ~4 bars of fadeout, for reference. The original Nier's soundtrack didn't have every variation, so you can bet when Automata's comes out there will probably be little things missing here and there. But it will still be good. vvv I hate that one, it does its job way too well and I was playing super late at night on top of that melodicwaffle fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Mar 19, 2017 |

Snak posted:The lockon is lovely. Like, intentionally lovely, to encourage you not to use it. If you shoot while locked on, your bullets spray wildly towards the target. It you just aim at the target, they shoot in a focused stream. Shooting while locked-on is free damage though. Assuming you can hold down the Fire button while doing the combat normally. I had to rebind some buttons to make that reasonably easy to do.

On the subject of sidequests, I would like one mechanical spoiler, if folks don't mind. So I've heard what the general conceit of the routes, at least, is, and I'm a little curious about Route B in particular and carry-over mechanics. While I assume Route C-plus will pretty much be all new content and progress will carry over, how does Route B work since it's just the initial playthrough but from 9S' perspective? Do character and weapon levels carry over? Do all the sidequests reset? As a result, is it worth it to do them all again?

In reality, it'll go by much more quickly because you've probably done much of the shared content Route A/B have in terms of side content, the 9S side stuff isn't too numerous either (there's still a fair bunch
