This is seriously one of the best games ever made. It was simultaneously a joy to play, and painful in that Taro Yoko kind of way. The soundtrack is as good as the first game's, I feel. I could rave on and on, but I'll just say that I can't wait to see people's reactions.

As an aside, I started playing on Hard initially after thinking the demo was pretty easy on Normal, and well... I am very familiar with that particular bad end there.

That is the one thing I did not like about the game. Hard mode feels like too much of a slog in general, but it is absolutely punishing here in the tutorial. The worst thing is getting near the end of that 30-40 minutes Id mentioned, and choking.

I had 9S set to aggressive :(

When I got to the tank, I booked it for the next section, and realized I needed to tone down 9S a bit. It wasn't until I headed out that I got the loot Id showed off earlier.

Counterpoint: 9S.

Compared to previous Taro Yoko sidekicks, 9S is actually a competent sidekick. It might not show in the LP, but 9S actually kicks some rear end at best, and at worse, draws heat off you.

Nah, the Nier universe guys weaponized the Salt too. The magic in the first game was based on the "maso" particle that scientists discovered in studying the salt.

Magic came from examining Red's exploded, impaled corpse.
