Doctor Nutt posted:Am I doing fishing right? I'm poor so I bought a bunch of lug worms to farm for sardines, assuming that the fishing quest went sardines -> blowfish meaning I would use the sardines as bait for the blowfish. But uh, I used all my sardines and got a few rusty buckets, a tin can, and a lot of aquatic plants. No fish. Sardines aren't gonna get you any Blowfish, you use Lugworms for those. Here's the wiki page for fish locations and what bait to use: https://nier.fandom.com/wiki/Fishing_(NieR)

Doctor Nutt posted:Also this sounds good to me because a lot of these quests are tedious, but is there a point where money is no longer a concern? Because, trying to avoid too many spoilers, I know I need to get all weapons in part 1 before moving on, and beastbain is pretty much unreachable after buying the new weapon that popped up in facade and getting some upgrade mats for my Virtuous Contract. Most of the quests in Facade give about 10k so you should get enough for the Beastbain pretty quick.

Addendum to the Lighthouse Lady quests in Part 1, I believe after the initial encounter with the woman, the quest chain has to be continued by accepting a quest from Devola? I distinctly remember on this run that I couldn't start the first one that begins at the Post Office until I spoke to her back at the village.

So - did other people lie to (minor side quest spoiler)the old lady? I did. Seemed like it would be dumb to just pointlessly make her sad. Playing Nier in 4k is kind of making me want to get Automata on the PC. Everything looks so nice, and I imagine I'd probably be able to get Automata to run about as well. Augus posted:the process is a lot more annoying on console since you can't change the time as much as you want, you can only mess around with timezones to peek at which flowers will change color. You still need to wait at least a day to actually harvest the seeds. Watering seems to increase the number of seeds received, but that's all. I only water when I'm trying to get seeds from a plot.

It's an interesting moral quandary that ultimately has no impact on the game at large. But it seemed exceedingly cruel not to. The more interesting thing is whether you tell the postman the truth or not.

Why do I need to ask Devola to tell me to speak to the postman when the lady has already asked me to speak to him.

Well just did ending E: enjoyed the down the rabbit hole feeling I was missing after having played the original, not really sure the game needed a 'the gangs all back together' happy(?) ending but I'm okay with it too.

Why the gently caress do so many quests require 10 titanium alloys? Why do so many weapons require it? Is there any easier way or getting them other than running the gauntlet of the Junk Heap over and over again? At least they made Machine Oil spawn more. I got all I needed during normal play, whereas my last playthrough of the OG version mandated that I grind for literal hours to get the drat oil.

Once you unlock being able to play the old dlc the third area in that drops rare items including tit alloy but not tons so it's just a different variation on grinding.

Beefstew posted:Why the gently caress do so many quests require 10 titanium alloys? Why do so many weapons require it? I think you can get them behind the third door in the DLC, it might work out to be similar or even slightly slower for titanium specifically but on the other hand you would be getting a lot of other rare materials at the same time

It's unavoidable during a first new playthrough, if you're skipping all cutscenes this time it's very obvious when it happens lol

Protip for grinding Simple/Complex/Elaborate machines - the part 2 sidequest where you have to clear out the Barren Temple again features a really easy to kill Boss Shade which is guaranteed to drop one, alongside 3 normal enemies. If you kill the boss then use magic on the trash mobs, the room'll reset, letting you kill the boss for its drops indefinitely. I think you need about 8 of each total, so you can grind that out in like 20 minutes

It's literally impossible to miss it once you create a new char after ending D. The game literally won't let you skip the inciting cutscene (iirc it says "This memory is not skippable") so mash that motherfucking button until you see someone underwater

I just started Part 2 of my first run and so far the game felt pretty generic fantasy RPG. I'm patiently waiting for the  to drop. I don't know if it's good or bad that I played Automata first, since I recognize some places/"people" and wonder if that's going to blunt some of what I expect will be emotional stings later on in this game.

Nothing is tied to difficulty right? Because I forgot how crazy jacked-up enemy HP was on hard.

Replicant v1.22... was made with the assumption that most people playing it have played Automata, so it ensures nothing is blunted by that.

I’ve completely finished Nier Replicant. For all its faults, and for all the many times it bored and annoyed me, and for all that could be so much better if they just adjusted this and redesigned that...I still loving love this game to death and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Not enough to grind out all the weapon stories or sidequests, I’m not insane, but enough to proclaim it as one of my favorites of all time. This game has always been (pardon the pun) near and dear to my heart, and it’ll stay there forever. Nier Replicant v1.22 is absolutely the best Nier game of all of them and I’m so goddamn glad they remade it. Now that it’s finished, I definitely feel empty, especially cause Nier as a whole is effectively over with this remake. It’s a sad, depressing, hosed-up story, but it’s whole and complete. And the older I get, the more I realize just how valuable that is. , motherfuckers.
