I do like how Adam and Eve have Ps2 textures for their bodies.

At least give then some nicely detailed abs or nipples or something.

At least Adam(?) has a kickass glove

Is there any deeper meaning to the Bosses' names? I expected them being translated in B onwards would be important in some way, but unless they're all references to something that went over my head it wasn't really anything.

You will find out their names starting from Route B and you also will get more information about them, especially if you do side-quests.

The texture work is actually pretty dang good, but the lighting in the main areas you encounter them in is fairly soft and doesn't show off the texture work as well as it could. Here's a less bright version from SE's Twitter where you can see Eve's pelvis more distinctly:

They're all philosophers. Simone de Beavouir, Engels, Hegels, and the last set of bosses are Chinese dudes including Confucius.


That's a very Japanese thing also, they don't really do nipples for male characters. I guess it's because it's a weird thing to draw.

Oh, additional question for anyone who has access to chapter select:

The Goliath Tank you fight in the amusement park has a hatch on the back that you can jump on top of and pull out its core with the circle button. It looks exactly like the cores you find inside the Resource Collectors, could someone see if you can specifically hack the core and if it tells you anything cool? I would do it myself but I wiped my save and am still replaying Route A.

I translated the full version of that novella (the one linked to only covers half the story), and yes it does imply the robot god in the desert cutscene was Beepy, although that's as much of a reference as he gets.

Also on the topic of sexy androids I thought the Commander was going commando (lol) but it turns out she's also wearing a (very sheer) leotard.

Oh crazy, I never read the full version. So, weird thought after reading this; Based on what the story flashback implies, beepy is basically responsible for the current state of the machines developing free will, and reading that story the "catfish" could very well be Grun which means beepy might have been the one to make that thing go nuts in the first place.

Most of the uses appear to be fairly wry: Marx and Engels are both made out of industrial machinery, with Engels being defeated when his own parts are turned against him; Beauvoir is obsessed only with beauty and a man's love; Hegel is defeated by the merger of two polar opposites; and Kierkegaard is the pope of an organized religion.

Very true. Boobplate, plunging necklines in chainmail and bare midriff armour are all more protective than a leotard and a short skirt and even those are poorly thought out armour choices. However, ridiculous fashion is fun.

Yeah, it kinda subverts the themes their namesakes were known for. I can't quite remember Sartre's dialogue other than him being sort of a detached rear end in a top hat (also Simone's unrequited love, which is fitting), although I guess his attitude goes against the "know yourself through others" thing? Dunno if he changes stuff on a deeper level and I kinda can't go back to my save because...y'know...

Speaking of killing assholes; I killed that one guy who gets you to invade the forest king's sanctuary and steal his last memory. Him making fun of the forest king was the last straw so I stabbed him. I felt bad.

As far as I can tell, her "top" doesn't actually cover her chest, it's just a torn rag covering her abdomen. And the rest of her "clothes" is either painted on or is just the underlying android body with most of the artificial skin gone.

Everything other than the apron is areas where her android skin has rubbed off, aka she's naked except for the apron.

Also while they're not as overtly sexualized as the YoRHa girls 9S, Adam & Eve are all totally designed to catch girl player's attention. I think Yoko even mentioned in an interview that Adam and Eve were supposed to be deliberate fujobait. Anyway all Yoko games have had some weird sexual stuff in it, it just kinda goes with the territory. Not saying anyone has to like it, but it's a constant.

Whelp, beat the game... got ending [E] and pushed to delete my saves without backing them up and before finishing all the side quests because it felt like the right thing to do. Only hesitated for like a second before confirming, which kinda surprised me.
Kudos to Farlo069 and some Japanese guy for giving up their saves so that I could throw mine away immediately afterwards.


Gonna go through it again with the japanese voices and see if that makes a difference like some people were saying.

It's a nice touch that all of these philosophers are Existentialists, though. Jean-Paul is an rear end in a top hat but seems to actually apply an extreme version of Satre's actual philosophies. Marx and Engels did actually work together on many projects, notably co-writing the Communist Manifesto and funding and editing Das Capital.

e: Hell, even Pascal. One of their major influences on philosophy is the infamous Pascal's Wager which applies early decision theory (closely related to game theory but not quite identical) to the philosophy of God's existence.

Yes. You need to use the underground path. You should end up on the other side of the grey path of the map heading to your destination. Go left and down from the hole you use to drop down, in front of the locked door.

I've managed to seriously improve my survivability and diminish my healing potion use through Auto-Heal+2, Deadly Heal+4 and Offensive Heal+2. I was so upset when I lost the first Deadly Heal I found when I dropped into that desert hole with the level 30ish bots when I was level 12 and got OHKed by jihadibots twice (the second time trying to recover my poo poo). I had no idea I'd be swimming in heal chips later.

Yeah there's a distinct point where the path does a u-turn. Was going down, now going up. After that the path should be pretty clear, even above ground.
