I dont think i unlocked any of them. Do you need to talk to her often for that or something?
I do not know what triggers them unfortunately. I've been looking into it for one hour and just see people whine that they missed them lol.
Anyone playing with Japanese voices. My general inclination is to play Japanese games in Japanese
thank god i did not pull the trigger on the digital ps4 version. this is just stupid. will go for the x1x version.
I'm playing it in Japanese. It's pretty good so far. I'm a little annoyed that the subtitles don't match the dialogue sometimes. But it's a not deal breaker.
I'm assuming you checked Walmart. Only $50 there. That's where I bought my copy. In store only though.
Check your controller for drift. My mother in law and was playing red dead 2 on my ps5, she likes horses, and it looked jerky. I tried it and it felt like a horrible stutter when trying to move the camera so I let it go and it would always position to the same weird spot which I figure is drift.
I'm in part 2 of my first playthrough at the moment- i've enjoyed the story moments so far but wish there was more of them.
For anyone who has played the 2010 version is it similar in how to Automata how the full story is spread across multiple playthroughs?

Got to the Barren Temple and whoo boy, was that rough.
Apart from that, I'm really enjoying it. Been taking a leisurely pace, doing most of the sidquests but not in any urgent manner.
Only being able to gently walk across that one room was a huge pain in the ass, but most of the others were fine.

Really hated that specific trial. Found out tho that if you hold Block you walk slow all the time. Or just move around by doing the attack combo where you hold the left face button, thats how i did it after i failed many times by tilting the stick a bit too far..
...well shit, I wish I had known that holding block would make me walk slow. I ended up mainly just attacking across the room too.
All the guides from the old version say 51%, but in 1.22 it was 50% for me and I definitely did all 36 quests (and double-checked the entire list just to be safe) so I think it's just 50% now. Could've been a rounding error or maybe the devs decided to just make it an even 50/50 - not sure. Either way, if you finished 36 quests, you should be good to move on.
You checking underneath the chief's house? Mine was there first try.
Yep. But I'm still in the first half of the game. Should a put a 2% item increase on or something? I'm just getting Gold Ore, Clay, and Meteorites.
That's definitely where it spawns, so I guess you'll have to keep entering and exiting to get it to spawn.
They really should have fixed that for this release. Even NieR Automata made that shit easy peasy.
So I've made it a few hours into part 2. And after the slog that was Part 1, I'm happy to see that we're now finally starting to get to the main course.
Here's a hot take to go with that:
I firmly believe that the whole brother-sister relationship is nothing but a clever ruse that Yoko Taro implemented mainly in order to trick people into believing that Nier Replicant is a serious game with a serious story.
In reality, Nier Replicant is a madhouse that Yoko Taro used to investigate how much ridiculous shit he could throw at people before they start calling his bluff.
He then used the results to create a game that perfectly straddles the line between serious and absurd: Nier Automata.
I have collected several pieces of evidence in favor of my interpretation already, but I'm going to try to finish all endings before passing final judgment.

This time I'll actually get to the 100% ending. I wimped out at a certain point what seems like a decade ago after I looked up spoilers on it. As much as I prefer the aesthetic of Dad Nier, I really can't tell much of a difference between the two, so *shrug*.
Then finally actually get past 40 minutes on Nier automata... (3x and failed)

I feel like it's kind of by design. You're a young kid running around collecting chicken eggs to whimsical music for ten hours and then you're a depressed mess for the next ten. It helps if you skip the side-quests, but I never do.
I AM DONE
Firstly i am rather impressed by how little the game actually changed.
Apart from the polish, OST and the graphics, it's exactly how i remember it, and i mean that rather positviely so.
They could have easily made some things less annoying and more accessible for newcomers, but explicitly chose not to (except for a few small moments like the fishing minigame). They did keep the original experience 100% in tact and that is rather good.
I'm still not too fond of how the OST was arranged at times, a lot of songs get stuck much less in your head now as i'm not fond of how Kaine was prettie'd up.
The new stuff they added tho was mostly great. The mermaid part is a bit tedious on the additional routes, but the handful of new scenes were appreciated.
Regarding Bro NieR, i really didn't like him much in the first half. He just ain't dad.
In the second half on the other hand, i've really warmed up to him, the VA did a lot for that.
It also feels like the character growth between the first and second half is a lot bigger than in Gestalt.

Playable Kaine is a dream fulfilled after 10 long years, HOLY FUCK.
The actual ending itself was some unusual level of fan service for a Taro game, but i liked it.
The choice to give back the player his safegame will probably take away a lot of impact from D to new players, but as someone who deleted his savefile 10 years ago, the option to get it back in some way is, just an incredible and unusual feeling.

Rice is really good for making money. Buy a bunch of rice seeds, fill the rows with them, fertilize and water. Next day you've got at least multiple thousands of gold worth of rice. But you can also speed it up by altering the time on your console, because plant growing is based on real time. I think I did this a bunch and had a million gold relatively quickly lol.
Also there is eventually a quest for breeding a certain flower and it is the worst bullshit imaginable, because it can take up to 2 weeks real time to complete, unless you alter the time on your console.
I just kept jumping. Jumping on top of the boxes makes them disappear for a few seconds.
They get easier if you know where to fish. They're one of my favourite parts of the game and a good way to make money later on.
Better than the original and less deep than Automata.
Ok I finally got it.
First letter is doing a few sidequests after the first trip to the Aerie (Kainé and Hook).
I was not able to trigger it by picking the sea front main quest first (yonah choice), I got it by picking junkyard heap quest. (I didn't do it)
On hard you have to pay attention the RPG systems (word enhancements, items stat boosts, weapon upgrades).
If you're not into that you can ignore those and play on normal like a typical action game.
The game goes out of its way to make sure it explains nothing about its mechanics and combo system so if you feel like you are missing something, ask us here and we'll help. This comes with almost everything modern action games have, but some of it isn't obvious in its layout.
so i just have to change the time of the console and it also works on replicant 1.22?
In theory. It used to work on ps3 and 360 so I hope the newer consoles and pc let you fuckbwith it the same way. Easy way to test is I think set it forward 20 hours after planting watering and fertilizing. If there's drastic change like a new plant or a dead plant, then it worked.
Might have to save, close, change time, relaunch.
Its kind of a pain but the alternative is waiting something like 19 real hours for a plant to grow
I'd buy that 'finish the game under 15 hours' in an instant. Since this is my first playthrough no way am I rushing this... but then after endings B, C, D and E... lol, might feel burnt out for another full A.
I finally understood that reference.
That would be really bad lol
Edit: according to PowerPyx you cannot change the time but you can change the timeZONE on your console to get similar results
