Is it weird that one of the best music tracks (IMO) is the 8-bit nightmare one?
Also, are chests the only source of gold?

You can try to revert the patch. check the threadmark. There's a chance your save will be corrupted so stick a backup in the cloud or USB stick if you can.
So I think I'm a bit lost. I got the Bad Ending, but now I don't know where to actually go to progress.
Also, a random ass hallway in the Dian Cecht Cathedral has a green scroll symbol on it in the map, like the symbol for quests in your archive. But there is nothing in that hallway at all, just one random dog to kill that is not part of a quest.

Like in Symphony there's some things you need to do to get the good ending.
Get the Silver Bromide from the Twin Dragon Tower
Meet the librarian
Open access to the train and get reflector ray
get Blood Siphon and drain the blood fountain
That should get you going.

Does anyone have a weapon or item list for the trophy? I know it's still early days I'm just looking for what I need.
Almost 65,000. Did you see the credits or just read about it somewhere?
After a few attempts and potions, I got the rhythm down to eat spikes for breakfast and have progressed further on!
If nothing else this wacked out day 1 experience will be memorable.
I eventually realised that pressing circle on the map screen drops markers, which isn't actually mentioned on the map screen so I was very confused as to these strange symbols on the map for the longest time, turns out they were my own.
Also there's probably some reflector beam areas you've missed so far as a hint that should hopefully help.
A shard that makes you run fast. One of the best shards in the game.
So I already went through that entire area as far as I can get. There's a water narrow path (reflector beam I assume) path I can't get through becuase while I can go underwater using aqua stream, I can't open chests or use an other shards underwater thus far.
Its not that kind of map marker, it's something different.
I just saw what it does. Wow, the speed is insane. Time to beat him in that race then.
Ok some more explicit spoilers
After beating Alfred in the desert area you should be able to use the elevator near his arena to move down one level and go into a room with the shard you need to walk under water.
This explicit spoiler definitely helps tell me what I'm missing. Specifically, despite not seeing any notable dead ends that I haven't already checked and found myself unable to get past, I don't know how to get to this
desert area
Underwater Caverns. Farm the squid looking demons in the water (not the horse or the fish) and it will give you a directional shard that pushes you through the water.
Go down and you will end up in the desert area.
Ranking up any yellow shard to rank 9 will turn them into passive shards that are always active. They even stack with each other.
It does speed up the attacks ever so slightly, but it's barely noticeable.
I got g swords expertise to rank 9 and optimizer to rank 9 and then equipped g swords on top and it yielded me over 120 attack. The attack speed is just a bonus. With all 3 shards and the prowess tome, you could chain attacks incredible fast. Along with the only really useful manipulator shard, I was dishing out 500-700er hits twice a second or so.
What is the recommended familiar for late/end game? Overall I feel like I'm not properly equipped for these last bosses, and the familiar feels like an easy area for improvement.
The lack of a real dash button made everything far worse in my book. It actually felt rather clunky. The stop animation when you do a ground pound or a slide are also very off-putting. You also run like a snail. It's also a nightmare to hit anything above your head unless you play with great swords.
There are items that "improve" the back dash and sliding and running... those should have been the norm and I bet at some point they were, until someone thought it was a good idea to offset those into items... if it at least were permanent upgrades... but nope. Items.
Taking my time, getting every shard and drop I can. Pretty sure I found a secret area
I'm about level 32, should I go ahead and tackle it now?
The 8-Bit Nightmare room
I'm about level 32, should I go ahead and tackle it now?
There is a Shard that adds a really fast dash on the R1 button, you find it in the second to last area and it carries over to NG+
Really? I think it feels pretty bad. Really couldn't disagree more.
Well damn.
Tips would be greatly appreciated. Just tried a run through it and got wrecked at the end
I'm running: Rhava Bural weapon with Welcome Company, Riga Dohin, The Werewolf Shield, and Words of Wisdom shards, with Warlocks necklace
Invert to the ceiling and stay there, especially for the boss fight. Equip the flying sword. And go all out on Fire resistance, MP reduction, and your best directional attack shard that hits from a distance.
The boss fight is reminiscent of a bullet hell like boss fight, get ready to time jumps and dodge things.

That's another issue. The "progression" system is uninspired and feels unrewarding and makes no sense.
You get an ability (you have to equip for some fucking reason) where you can move metal blocks... that you need exactly in 2 places. Wow.
Then you get a double jump, which is useless for the most part.
Then you get the invert-ability, which you need exactly once because then you get access to the shard, that makes invert apart from a select few places totally obsolete. The boost shard should have replaced double jump tbh. Or that should have been a fast forward dash or something.
Then you get the beam ability, which is also obsolete by the teleport shard.
Why? Nothing about it feels like it opens up new content really. And why two of those things SHARDS and not permanent abilities?

Alright, I'm kinda losing my mind, not sure what else to do right now.
So I've got invert, and it's clear that I need some way to start bypassing the yellow spikes, but I've scoured almost everything and I can't seem to find my next target. I'm sure there's some small thing I'm missing that I need to use invert to get, but I can't seem to find it.
No, but during the race are traps which you can ignore with the armor.
In the right area with the long spiral tower you can now access a chest that gives you an armor that lets you ignore trap damage.
Btw, timing high jump basically lets you stay mid air forever. Everyone should get that asap.
There's a book for it and also "Warlock Necklace" which is a quest reward from the woman by the graves if I remember right? Orichilum?

If you love those games you will be in heaven playing this game.
Figured it'd be something like that. Thanks!
I need help, stuck in the late game, I explored 80% of the map, and just beat
I don't see any area I haven't explored yet, the map looks complete and yet it says 80,10% can anyone point me in the right direction? :< I also
Zangetsu again, and he gave me his sword

used the carpenter key and beat the carpenter but it didn't seem to do much except give me a new fragment
I was stuck there too.
Endgame / Good ending spoilers
Proceed to the end boss, but just damage him until the moon turns red. Then equip his sword and cut the moon with it.
Afterwards, go where you fought Zangetsu the first time (garden of silence) and cut the moon there.

You're really close
Read the description of the sword
more specific
Fight Gebel with the sword equipped. When the moon turns red attack the moon with the Zangetsuto.
