I have plenty. I just didn't equip anything before getting in the mech. I just restarted the whole drat run and equipped healing chips and got through it easily. It didn't take as long I thought it would so that was good but everything about that situation was some  game design.

Route B definitely seems faster, I played from the start up to the forest village and it only took a couple hours compared to quite a few on route A. I want to get Emil's quest done this time round and a couple others. At least now I know where the major cutoff is.

route b is significantly shorter, especially if you had spent a lot of route a clearing out sidequests

Route B goes way faster because hacking makes you an unstoppable robo-killing machine. I don't know why they even have any other models; YoRHa really should just be a Council of

Considering that they can apparently produce android bodies fast enough to have an android in a planetary scale war get killed, uploaded to the bunker, and back to the surface in a few days tops, you have to wonder why they don't just send every body out with a 2B/9S/whatever personality. Whenever a copy learns something they would upload it and you could push it out to the other copies creating a massive network of constantly learning killing machines, of course that might be too much like the machine network and YorHa is totally not like those assholes.

Have you had those guys catch you with their pinwheel charge while you're busy dodging the giant behemoth in front of you? Happens all the drat time. Stubbies are secretly the most dangerous unit in the machine force.

You know, with 2B you have to run around with the scanner pod and then do some stuff for Pascal and then run around the batshit religious robots plus Adam and with 9S it's just some geometry wars and some robot fighting and that's it

The problem with that plan is that 9S and 2B and all the rest ARE Machines. And ones they suck at controlling at that, given how non-combat model 9S ended up. I think basically the plot of D is that the android leadership totally gently caress up, and teach the Machines how to learn from other Machines (ones disguised as androids), instead of learning only from fighting androids. Fortunately realising androids are unnecessary, the Machines decide to just leave instead of kill everyone.

veni veni veni posted:Phew. Sweet. You're not asking dumb questions, no sweat. Some of the mechanics and particulars can be a little obscure. If the particular machine doesn't notice you, you can subjugate/remote control them after a successful hack. I don't think you need to be outside of combat altogether for it to work, and if you remote control a machine when others have aggro on you, they'll suddenly calm down.

I just beat Eve to close out Route A and I can't get it to finish. All I can do is hobble 2B around. I'm at the destination marker and nothing is happening. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm thinking like bare fists only and no chips I just gave my all for the cause so I am facing the same question. I'm not sure I can do NO chips. Maybe all chips okay, but no buying of slot expansions. I'm also considering no pod firing, but offensive programs ok. I wonder if no firing + no offensive programs would be possible or if that would lead to getting stuck in certain boss fights.

Edit 1: Edit 2: Okay so how the gently caress do I get Pascal vendor without redoing her whole section all over again. When I do chapter select after her trauma, she just isn't at the village. Do note that I went through all 3 of her story paths to see what they all did, so if taking the wrong one at any point means the chapter select is now hosed, that sucks.

You have to go to the chapter right before and make the choice again, then progress to the point where you'd see them. No other way

I wonder how Pascal's gender is handled in the Japanese version. They seems very femme to me because of the voice, and I'm wondering if they default to "him" instead of "it" to humanize them. We all know that American gamers are huge babies that can't deal with A Non Sexy Girl??? In my VIDEO GAMES????? (Which is why they made Amaterasu's stuff gender neutral)

He's very much your cute robot uncle and I don't think it leaves much room for interpreting his gender as otherwise

It's weird in the english version because there is basically nothing pointing to the gender being male until like quite a bit later into the game when some other robots finally call him uncle pascal, yet everyone instinctively calls him a him despite the female voice.

This is exactly how I felt and I played the game flipping between languages with that particular scene in Japanese (where they call him "uncle" in Japanese). It's not like there's anything else there in Japanese that 8-4 didn't or couldn't translate.

I think he's just supposed to be cute sounding so they gave him a female VA. I did think he was a she for 80% of the first run though because I either missed it or they didn't call Pascal "he" until the factory raid.

I just fought the secret boss 4 times. The first time to get Ending Y, the second time I auto-locked onto the boar that got me out there at the end so I accidentally got Ending Y again, the third time my graphics card poo poo the bed during the post-fight cinematic, the fourth time finally just worked. Jeez. I think I have about 16 endings left to collect.

Presumably 2B and 9S refer to Pascal as 'he' because Anemone does the first time Pascal is mentioned (when Anemone is talking about her outside materials contact). At the time they don't know who she is referring to, but they find out who Pascal is pretty quickly.

i assume pascal is referred as a he because its a machine so it doesent have a gender. theres no good natural sounding way to refer to something in a gender neutral way in english that a mainsteam audiance would understand.
