Deified Data posted:That's route A done. Does your next playthrough remember your sidequest progress? Like how much G you've given to the inventor, or what belt you're on for the dojo guy? Will it reissue sidequests you've done already? I'm pretty I remember reading recently that those two specific quests' progress will carry over between playthroughs, but everything else will not.

Will it reissue sidequests you've done already? The belts are counted as separate quests, so it saves your spot. The inventor is a special exception where you keep all your progress. Otherwise you have to restart any partially completed quests, and completed ones stay that way. There are a few that are only available in route A, but even those aren't gone forever.

Quests that have multiple 'stages' like Father Servo and Half-Wit Inventor carry over between playthroughs, while quests that only have one stage but multiple things you have to do to finish it do not. Generally speaking, if a quest expects you to do the whole thing in one go (fetch quests with multiple items included), it will be reset if you've accepted but not completed it.

Should I have been able to buy any gauntlet type weapons on my first playthrough? Never found a single one.

Yeah there's a rare Emil shop (I think in the NW corner area or near the base?) which can sell gauntlets, and there's a set in the forest up a tree platforming thing up on the edge of a cliff?

Hmm, I found Emil but didn't see anything like that in his shop.

Oh, so Emil sells different stuff at different locations? He only sold chips when I found him.

I think what Emil sells depends on the area he's hanging out in but it may just be random.

It depends on what area he's in. If he's zooming around at double speed outside the camp, he's got the good poo poo. Actually getting him to go there is a matter of fuckin black magic. I got him to do it by accident on my first run, but on my second he stayed at the desert the entire game. I had to look up all sorts of solutions to try and make the fucker move after I was done with the story and I still don't know which one did the trick.

Basically the quickest way to get him to spawn where you want him to is to continuously reload the map (generally just teleporting back and forth between city checkpoints does the trick) enough that he shows up in the right spot.

How important is doing the sidequests? So many red dots on the map and I have no idea what to do.

If you want to follow the main quest, always aim for the biggest bright red dot. The smaller bright red dots are side quest objectives, and the dark red dots are side quests you haven't picked up yet. You don't need to do any side quests, but you often get cool weapons or items, and there's some neat little stories that fill out more worldbuilding

A lot of the flavor of the game comes from sidequests. Keep in mind that you get some well before you're at an appropriate level for them, though, and a bunch of them become available just before you get fast travel. After that, though, I'd recommend at least trying every quest you can find (save first and give it up for later if it seems too difficult).

I have a question about Drakengard 3 and was told this was the best place to ask. I was reading a discussion about Drakengard 3 elsewhere and someone pointed out a inconsistency regarding the main character. (Endgame spoilers) Zero's quest to brutally slaughter her sisters is secretly an attempt to save the world. The question is: why would Zero want to save the world? She doesn't care about anything or anyone in the world, with the possible exception of Mikael.

I see it more as her cleaning up her own mess than trying to save the world.

I always saw it as not that she’s trying to save the world, she’s just not gonna let herself be used as it’s tool of destruction. She spent her entire life being used, and the flower wasn’t treating her any differently.

Apparently full edition is coming to xbox. I'm really happy more people will get to experience this game. Hopefully they give it more love than the pc port

In the forest when you're coming up on the castle there's a chest on an archway that I'm pretty sure can only be reached by pixel perfect jumping from the half dozen pillars leading to it. Is it worth the effort?

Only if you want 100% weapons.

It doesn't have to be pixel perfect though it can still be kind of tough. Shouldn't take more than a few tries though. It's not nearly as annoying as the jump in the Flooded City.

The jump that gave me the hardest time even after looking up some hints was the one across the street from Servo's arena. And i think that was just for a musical disc, which doesn't even count for any completion?

I didn't find the stick jumps that bad. Just going double jump + evade for each pillar got me there without any precise control needed. The one I couldn't do was that jump under a collapsed staircase in the factory.

Who cares about ending Y, it's the end of Emil's story that's locked behind the weapons. You don't do it for some achievement, you do it to help your friend.

Whew! OK. I finished this wonderful game 7 days ago and have just finished reading the whole of this thread. As you might be able to tell from my avatar, I am such a huge, huge fan! (I helped to make the Nier tag having never played it, but now when I see it I completely get how cool it is!  )I am so happy people are still using spoiler tags over a year on. This is something that does not happen much for most of the game specific threads in this forum, and I would hate for anyone to be spoiled by anything. As someone who had no real knowledge of Yako Taro's other games this whole experience was fresh, new and affecting in the most pointed and beautiful ways. Thanks to some other posts in here I have learned so, so much more about how even more awesome it is and I just wanted to add my voice to the various accolades in here that it is still receiving
