So I beat Nier yesterday!

Well, I say beat, I mean I got the A ending, which is what you get for finishing the game once.

I'm. I don't quite know what to say about it, except that I was sobbing p much from beating the not quite final boss to about a third of the way through the credits. I mean, I sort of knew this was coming, but I didn't expect it to make me such a snotty mess? Also I have more questions than answers at this point. Although my question about tutorial land has been answered! (sort of!) MASSIVE ENDGAME spoilers )

other LARGE endgame spoilers )

And now I'm working on the B ending, and it is full of MASSIVE spoilers )

OOOH ALTHOUGH. I am six weapons away from being able to access the C and D endings, so there's that as well.

Also if you're interested, I've been livetweeting about it at [twitter.com profile] gwyntgwyn, though there are spoilers there!

OH HEY AND GUESS WHAT!

I went to a con on Saturday and got into a convo with a couple of ladies who were stall-holding there, and we ended up commiserating about how soul destroying Nier is as a game. I didn't even know them and what are the chances of that happening?!
I AM PLAYING NIER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I got to, er. Some Stuff Happening, and boy was that A Thing. It was also probably the most exhausting boss fight I've ever had, thanks to not being equipped with the best weapon at that point in the game. (I've been skint because I deliberately avoided the sidequests, bar a few, because I wanted to do the story, damnit! And thus I have no money :( Because bosses don't pay out highly, and there's only so much vendor trash that is actual trash and not Useful Components).

Also I have learnt via an LP that I am reading in tandem with my playthrough, that I will not be acquiring endings C or D, because I haven't met the requirements, so youtube it is for those! Or possibly not, IDK. (I didn't think there were any special requirements? But apparently what the heck do I know???) I'm actually glad about that, in a way, because I was leery of ending D anyway.

spoilers for ending requirements/some of the game )

Unstructured thoughts I have on the game so far:

NB: I don't know how right or wrong I am about any of this. Cutting because list, also spoilers, including one for the sequel!

Please do NOT spoil me for anything in the game. I have made it this far without managing to have any of the story spoilt, apart from what I accidentally saw on TVT because I forgot to switch the "show spoilers" button off. And even then it was only one thing (which won't have the punch it should have, I imagine), and not the entire game.

(I mean, I'm sure you guys will be fine about this, but I just wanted to say it).
