Allegedly no. But imo it doesn't matter, never ever romance anyone in video games.
Alternately, romance everyone to add an extra dimension of psychosis to the murderous psychopath you're inevitably playing as

You ever play a game too much and then keep playing it in your head for a little while after you stop? Happening to me with Picross lately. This game is too addictive.

The only Bioware game I've ever played to completion is Mass Effect 1 and I thought the romances were pretty messed up since you're literally playing as everyone's boss. Unprofessional.
Even more reason to do it. Schmooze them into the sack then have them take point and die repeatedly, with no consequence to the former at all. A true sociopathic coup

It's already being streamed in English from the Japanese version so you can spoil it any time you want. It doesn't seem like the kind of game where moment-to-moment gameplay really spoils much

I want to play Nier Automata but I'm afraid even the easiest difficulty will be too hard for me or that some of the content will be locked behind the higher difficulties.

I almost died in the demo on normal difficulty :(

There are a lot of assists available (you can pick and choose) for easy mode, I doubt you'll be unable to complete it. But there will likely be a separate ending or some poo poo for the die hards, I dunno, just youtube that crap when you've finished :shrug:

That auto-healing to save you from dying was only in the demo. The auto item chip in the full game will use an item if you drop below 30% but won't do anything to save you if you take a hit that just kills you outright.
I can't find a full chip list, there might be something in there to deal with the OHKOs. But if you're playing Very Hard it seems to me like you asked for it

Having no qualms playing a sexually exploitative game while also admitting that you'd be embarrassed to share that information with people you know is like the gamer equivalent of "I'm not racist, but..."
I'm not especially racist, but if nearly every video game was racist I would probably overlook it and play them anyway. And by some people's standards, they actually are

If you mean jiggle physics, I'm sure she does have those because even random NPCs do. I noticed this when I ran past a woman walking upstairs in a town; they clearly didn't account for that type of movement when designing their titty physics model because poo poo that looked crazy uncomfortable for her.

Hell I'm fairly sure even Aranea, a character with a full body armor of sorts has the steel give away under the weight of breasts as if it were a plain shirt. I wonder if video games have finally broken me with me actually noticing this poo poo with regularity.
Yeah even some wrinkly old ladies walking around in the city have amazing cleavage in FFXV, it's a bit of a bizarre mix of anime and attempted photorealism

Is there a spiritual sequel to Die by the Sword?
I feel like I've seen at least one or two and not the one mentioned, but it's gonna take a serious digging session to refresh my memory on what game it was that tried to do real sword arm physics.

It's really hard to make such a thing control well, but with VR taking off somewhat it's a good time for someone to give it another shot.

I played through the tutorial case and the first case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney this morning, and I thought it was really good! No dumb adventure logic (I didn't have to rub stuff against random stuff), and the pacing of the dialogue and the twists and turns is absolutely delightful.

Does the rest of game (and the two following games, Justice For All and Trials and Tribulations) more or less maintain that level of quality? The part I played through was free, so I'm wondering if it's worth the twenty-four dollars to just buy the whole set.
They are fun games with funny stories, but you run into a different problem than the classic adventure game logic problem. The usual Ace Attorney problem is that you know the solution to whatever mystery but you don't know how the game wants you to express it. Even if you figure out things ahead of time you need to reveal them in the same order to fit their logic and sometimes you can get hung up on that. As for the quality level I'm too drat biased to judge that, I love them all.

If you think that some things are good and cool, you'll probably think Night in the Woods is good and cool, too.
And if you enjoy it there's a huge untapped trove of fiction just like that at your local library. It's not my bag but definitely some people like it and it's good to have genre choices besides Military, Sci Fi and Hobbits
