It still doesn't take very long to grind the bunny, you just have to attack it rather than hack it to activate it. Once it's up you can still hack it. I went from 88 to 99 in a few minutes just now.

If you watch its feet, you can actually see that your attacks move it, I don't think it needs to go a specific distance but it's a way you can tell that you're doing something.

Well that was not what I was expecting for the end of this DLC. Yoko Taro is a strange strange man. Definitely worth buying the DLC imo, but I can understand if the actual gameplay doesn't sound appealing enough for a bit of very weird story content. I didn't figure out where the Square Enix CEO fight is yet though...

Welp, I just finished all the main endings last night, deleted my data and filled in some of the plot blanks with some of the original Nier's plot dumps. I realized that getting caught up in some of the illogical plot points just doesn't serve the series at all. How the hell did 2B's memories get in her sword? How exactly did A2 destroy the tower by hacking in to 9S? It is a mystery! This might be the biggest bummer of a game I've ever played. If Dark Souls is a meditation on life and death, this takes things much further with the existential dread.  I love how Nier's and Nier: A's data deletion works. In the original, the games asks if you want to save your child. To do so, you have to destroy your own existence. In Nier: A, you can save everyone you've grown attached to without deleting it, but the game asks you to sacrifice yourself to help someone else out. It's a nice distinction, and between the every-so slightly hopeful ending E and that, at least I wasn't completely bummed. Is Ending E ever cannon? The way to get it is so insanely meta that I just don't know. At feels moot to talk much about how it plays, but I did think it was too easy on normal mode. Being able to heal from a pause menu, auto heal chips, and auto item-usage chips gut the game of any actual challenge. I kind of wish I would have played it on hard, but w/e. Maybe the whole point is to effortlessly cut through a horde of conscious beings to make you feel like an rear end in a top hat. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 01:36 on May 3, 2017 |

so that actually leads me to a NIER question (not spoiling since it's a 7 year old game) Dad Nier gets poo poo on a lot for basically dooming humanity by killing the Shadowlord, but how meaningful actually is that? The replicants were clearly sentient by this point, so were they just supposed to roll over and get possessed en masse?

Humanity presumably would have survived if it hadn't been for the whole nier/shadowlord business.

The DLC says I need to play through the main game before I can access it. Is that why is still says Waiting to install in my notifications? By main game, do they mean just Route A or the whole thing? *Ugh, I think I bought the wrong version for my version of the game. dazat fucked around with this message at 03:33 on May 3, 2017 |

Between that and the level recommendations for the end of the challenges it's not something you're going to be finishing till the very end of the game.

It looks like I bought the wrong version of the DLC for my game (the new Chinese/Every Other Language version versus the plain English/Japanese version on the Hong Kong PSN Store). Given that and the notion of having to play all the way through the game AGAIN after having already did 100% completion & deleting my file, I think I'll consider my $12 a donation to Taro Yoko's war chest and just stream the new content...

Nier's actions may have doomed humanity, but humanity was previously damned regardless. There's a kind of twisted release in what follows, which extends to Nier's own arc as well.

He asked why they thought Nier was depressing and the interviewer responded with "Well I mean, everyone dies," to which Yoko Taro responded "What's important isn't whether they lived or died, but whether or not they achieved salvation." sounds like this one http://www.glixel.com/interviews/qa-nier-automata-director-taro-yoko-w472664

Hadn't read that one before (so thanks for the link!). He expresses a similar viewpoint in that interview, but the one I'm thinking of I read several years ago. Though his comments here at least confirm I'm not just misremembering something.
