YoRHa is weird, even compared to other androids. YoRHa uniforms are crazy stylish, whereas other androids are more concerned with stuff like 'camouflage' and 'not getting sand in my mouth'.

Where is everyone else hearing it, because I assume end means the 8 seconds of walking slowly, but I definitely hear something in the middle of the panning view cutscene.

I didn't hear anything the first time I watched it on my tv, but second time on a different device it was unmistakeable. So anyone who doesn't hear it, it could be your speakers and not your ears.

Knowing exactly where it is let me barely hear it but yeah my speakers could just be hosed, they're getting fairly old themselves. Especially once I turned the treble way up.

You get a tiny spectrogram in the upper-right of the screen which is mostly curious because of what it suggests based on its waveform: that your characters can hear the soundtrack too.

It also responds to ambient noises and battle sounds.

I bought that after someone on the station mentioned that pods make a distinctive noise.

It did not, in fact, help. At least 5000 is cheap in the long run.

Yeah, I don't care about that. There's two optional HUD elements that are 5000 G a pop. The sound one makes a soundwave icon in the top right corner of the HUD. It picks up in-game music so... it's pretty useless. I guess if you're completely deaf and don't feel like resorting to looking up where Pod Program upgrades are (you can still just visually ID them in the right spot.) There's also one for Fishing that will err... automatically notify you if you can fish somewhere. Spoilers: If you're in ankle deep liquid and stay still for one second, it'll tell you if you can fish so...

They're both complete wastes of money and Chip slots.

there's a couple of random spots with a giant pool of water below you can fish at where it might be useful but generally you can see them soooo

(Kho-)dazat talked about it in the main Automata thread. They read/write Japanese and English so it's first hand from them.

They also said it's there in Automata in regards to 2B, but it's not night and day different characters.

Zero was a lot more deadpan in the original Japanese. Not that she didn't get mad, but she comes off as notably angrier in the English. Like, some of the lines she would deliver really apathetically in the original dub are much more over-the-top ragey in the localization. I wouldn't go as far as saying it changed her entire character, though.

It's also there to a degree in Automata with 2B and 9S, but less so. I think it's an attempt to get the English dialogue to sound snappier; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the end, I think it's better than coming off as too direct/stilted (see Persona 5).

Admittedly, it's possible she created some of those problems, but hey. When you're in a world that filled with bullshit, you've got to break a few omelettes.

Even in a game full of enjoyable writing, Jackass is a standout.

loving christ, all the love for android Jackass is making me feel like there's gonna be something really wrong involving her at some point. Like, the entire thing was planned by noted mastermind Yoko Taro so that when this LP and thread would pop up, people who'd played the game would swoon over her, so that the rest of us poor schmucks would figure something was wrong, but otherwise have no loving idea what exactly that is and so have no choice but to be paranoid about everything.

This is the level of sheer distrust I'm at right now. This is what Yoko Taro does. The whole "let's put a sound that can't be heard by senile old farts in the game" thing is just a way to add even more confusion to the whole experience.

If you ignore the sidequests, it's something like 30-40 hours. I (almost) 100%'d the game and I clocked in at around 80 hours.
